GAUGE: 14 sts + 10 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in hdc. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

I would have never imagined making a crocheted bbq apron for wearing! What a unique and interesting idea. I just wonder if it could get a little hot if you are bbqing in the hot sun. Has anyone tried this and found it didn't get to warm during the summer?
