Notes

This is my first-ever crochet project.

The pattern doesn’t include trunks so I’ll be making them from a knitting pattern that was also published in 1921.

My gauge ended up being a little off plus the pattern is a size large so I started the decreases three rows early and then did an extra decrease row with six stitches between decreases. It worked out well.
