If you use a crochet hook that gives you 2 many stitches per inch will that cause an item to be to big? Also if you want to have a garment longer like a pullover do you just add extra rows :huh:

If you get too many stitches per inch, your project will be too small.

And, yes, you can add more rows to make a pullover longer.
