I went up to an H hook, it was obvious from the beginning that it would work up too small with the recommended G.

Make sure you check out the errata on the magazine’s website. There are several errors in the pattern. http://www.crochetmagazine.com/corrections/pdfs/22142_Err...

3/28 it started to curl up around round 16… I’m now at round 20 and it’s not working itself out. My gauge is spot on, I’ve quadruple checked the pattern and compared to other finished photos… It seems like there should have been another increase by now. I don’t see where I’ve missed anything. Can’t decide whether to trudge on or start frogging…

Edit: After an encouraging and helpful exchange with “The Guyz” it seems others have had the same curling issue so I will be moving forward without trepidation. :)

The issue is only getting worse and no amount of blocking is going to fix this hot mess. I know it’s not me, others have had the same problem. I hate to do it but I’m giving up. This one will be frogged as soon as I can bring myself to do it. :(
