Crochet Child's Bathrobe Reviewed by becky on 2008-06-07 ****
I used doubled up worsted weigh for this pattern, and even though the gauge matched, the length was just way too short! So when all was said and done with the rest I flipped it upside down and added about 12 more rows to the bottom to make it a bathrobe, otherwise it looked like a sweater.( a cute sweater, but a sweater all the same...) The child in the photo must be quite small and have on a size much too large for her, for it to be that long on her. Overall I liked the pattern, it was super easy to do, and I might just use it again to make my daughter a sweater out of it.
