I guess when I got the pattern it was already corrected. When I picked up the stitches I didnt use a crochet hook. I just used the knitting needle and just put the needle into the stitch and picked up the stitch. I don’t remember if it stretched too much but if it did, it just eased back on its own. I do remember looking up how to do it on youtube because I had never done it before. I was trying to find the video that I used so I could send you the link but I couldnt find the one I used. I’m better with video than with written directions myself. Did you try to do it with just a knitting needle rather than a crochet hook? I wish I could be more help!
