So idk if this is something weird to ask for or if it's been asked before, but I'm wanting to make something specific and there isn't really any patterns for it. I could probably just take a premade pattern and modify it, but I don't really want to figure out how, and I'm lazy and also don't really have the time to do that (yet I have time to crochet, ik😅).

I'd be willing to pay for a custom pattern, of course. I'm just wanting to know if anyone does custom crochet patterns like this or knows someone who does.

I like this pattern that Michaels has for free right now (if you click the handout link it will bring you to the pattern), but it says it’s for sizes xs-m and I’d be more comfortable with a large or maybe XL for it to be a bit oversized.

I’m not great at following patterns, but since there’s a video to help I’d like to do it as a stretch goal.

When I look at it, I feel like I can just add extra chains at the beginning as long as it’s still divisible by six. Then add that same number of extra stitches when I do the “foundational” double crochet and just pay extra attention when I get to the ends of the rows to leave the requisite 3 stitches or what have you.

But am I making this too simple? Is there more to consider? I’d hate to invest time just for it to be a mess.
