I disagree (all these beautiful patterns are evidence that it crochet does in fact work great for clothing!) but that’s ok, you are entitled to your opinion 🙂

Hi Marcia! That can be true in some cases. However, patterns can definitely compensate for that by using lighter yarns or lacy stitches. When making larger sizes especially, it can help to pick this style of pattern for that very reason. Hope this helps!
