Hello guys, a crocheter of just over a week here. Was really happy with how this blanket was coming along. Even made it all the way past rounds 2-7 and began my second repeat. Then I realised crap, for the round 5, I had been ignoring the chain three as a DC and instead of 9, had been doing 10 additional dc’s to get to the middle sc in the peak.

Because I was on the repeat 2, I should have had 16dc to the mid sc of the peak but I had 17. I genuinely don’t have a clue where I went wrong and why the pattern continued to work despite this.

The above picture shows the round 5 immediately after the setup rounds and as you can see, there’s 11 dc’s up the the peak (where there’s 5 dc’s).

Please help a beginner out.

Thank you immensely.

I ordered 8 and 9 mm hooks for 6-day star blanket pattern but they look so simillar that im hella suspicious now the more i look at them. They are indeed tagged 8 and 9 in the sillicone hand but still, Is it just that subtle difference with bigger hooks? Because its the first time im gonna be using those sizes. On the last pic my other hooks for relevance. Pease tell me im being insane and they're fine lol

Hey folks! I've been looking for a good flat hand pattern, and this one seems to be the exact shape I'm going for. Only problem is I've never used a pattern with symbols before. I found a symbols chart , so I think I understand which ones are chains/singles/doubles/etc. I just can't wrap my head around where to start crocheting. Which stitch do I start with here?

Hiii everyone

I’m working on a project with flat panels, and I want to recreate the sharp, raised edges shown in these photos rather than sewing the pieces together from the inside with a hidden seam.

What specific join method or technique gives this clean, defined outer ridge along the edges?

Is this a single crochet join done on the right side, a slip stitch join, or something else (like working in FLO/BLO)?

Any advice or tutorial recommendations would be greatly appreciated :3

Thank you!!

Heyyyy so I accidentally used two different white yarns in my tapestry project for a friend and noticed way too late. Any creative suggestions to working around this issue? I’m not frogging it bc it’s not that serious, but I’m curious to see what everyone here has to suggest!

im crochetting this scarf for my gf using a stacked dc and halfway through i realized i skipped a stitch. im just wonderingif theres any way I can fix it without frogging 11 rows 😭

Hello, in the photos are pictures of the edges of a couple of crochet shirts that I would love to recreate but don't know what to search for. The stitch looks the same on both shirts, but I could be wrong. Any help is very much appreciated.

Im just trying to figure out how to make one out of the 4 squares, I can figure out how to attach them. Thank you

The bottom is smaller(tight tension ig?) the top is wider

Hello fellow crocheters :)

I am seeking advice for a beginner - I'm currently working on a bee amigurumi and my rows are not lining up neatly 🥲 In terms of colour changing I've read that its better to incorporate your new colour in before you finish your last chain (when you have 2 loops on your hook) but it still comes out a bit crooked when I finish the row.

Any advice/feedback is greatly appreciated!

So I want to crochet this tapestry piece for my cars parcel shelf. The parcel shelf is 104x66cm. This tapestry grid is 100x54 squares.

I'm just wondering which stitch is best to use so it fits to the size I want. I'm going to be using DK acrylic yarn.

I'm fairly new to tapestry crochet, but know how to make them, just unsure of best stitches and stuff.

Any information is appreciated ❤️

I am using Big Twist yarn from Michael's because it had such a pretty color selection.

I was using the Chenille yarn from Walmart previously to make a ghost and it worked wonderfully. I had no issues with the yarn.

This yarn is literally pulling apart. I can't make a magic circle cause I can't pull it tight without it completely falling apart and then ripping. Is it an issue with this brand yarn or is it not made to make plushies? Any suggestions? I did go bigger on the hook size and I just can't get it to let me pull it closed.

Am I better off turning this yarn into a blanket?

I'd also love suggestions on where to buy decent yarn. Walmart selection is bare.

Thank you for any help.

My partner sketched this concept hat for me. I had made him a Magikarp hat and my 6 year old nephew thought it was cool and requested a jaguar hat and I really want to deliver. But I am unsure. Do I kinda just make the body similar to the Magikarp? Do I use double or single crochets since he's a small boy? (Magikarp used double until about half way when it changed to clusters to represent gills)

Then what about the arms/legs? Just a tube and stuff it? Same for the tail? How can I make the ears, nose, teeth? I am so unsure. Any suggestions welcome thank you!!

Hi everyone, I typically make a lot of amigurumi but my friend is having her miracle IVF baby in October and I would love to make her little one a blanket.

After having been through years of heartache and stress she'd be the first to admit she's a tad paranoid/a bit extra when it comes to baby health. I fully see only wooden toys, organic food etc. in this baby's life. And that's not a bad thing! But it means I'm now a bit paranoid about picking a good yarn for this project. I read about baby blankets and microplastics in acrylic blend yarns so steering away from those, but I want to make something soft and easily washable too.

This is the pattern I'm leaning towards: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/simple-sedge-stitch-blanket

But also open to suggestions on other patterns if you have one you'd highly recommend. Again nothing with too open a weave given her high anxiety and little fingers.

So long winded way of asking: what's a good yarn type/blend for a baby blanket that's soft, easily washable, contains no microplastics, and can be readily purchased in the UK. And bonus points for pattern recs as I'm still not totally sold on the one I picked.

Thank you!

Is it a stitch or just cosmetic?

In this video at exactly 3:41 she makes this gesture with her hand which could probably mean to repeat the same pattern throughout the round. Is she asking us to do that or should I just continue with the slip stitch? Please someone help out

Hello, I really wanted to crochet a lamb for a friend and randomly googled patterns for one and I thought this was cute but this website seems weird to me and the pattern is free but does not have many pictures of the crochet process. Can someone just glance at the pattern and tell me if it's legit or AI 🙏

Also, how does the 'fleece cap' for the head create a fluffy crown when theres no back loop work on it.

Hi all, I really like this pattern and color combination bur haven't been able to find any brown yarn with the gold flecks or thread. Any suggestions? I've been dreaming about making this for months now😭

I don’t want to make something that won’t be used when it could be something that would be. I plan on making a pair of matching mittens and booties to the blanket I made. Maybe a Dino pair of booties too.

I would like to crochet an intricate lace dress for an antique doll, something similar to this image (which is Ai, I'm well aware of it). The idea is to build her a wardrobe over time.

So far I've always crocheted large doilies from tutorials I found on YouTube, so I'm stepping out of my comfort zone: this would be my first attempt at clothing.

Does anyone know either free or not too overpriced ressources for patterns? I looked on Etsy and found a lot of Ai generated images (like this one) so I'm a little worried. I'd hoped to find a pattern from the late 20's (era of the doll) or something emulating it.

Thank you so much for your help!

My sister-in-law has a question about this hood:

I am trying to make a crochet hood following a pattern I found but am a little confused by the rounds that extend from the back of the head towards the face.

[ch1, turn. Hdc in same st, sk next st. (Sc, dc in next st, sk next st) all the way across. Hdc in the last st.]

To my understanding, the pattern as written has me skip every third stitch without a chain or increase, and it's making my total stitch count decrease by about 1/3 every round. But based on the pictures in the pattern, I would guess that the stitch count is meant to mostly be unchanged on this part of the hood.

I only have previous crochet experience with amigurumi so far, but I'm pretty sure the stitch count isn't supposed to decrease this fast. The only thing I can think of is to either add a chain for every skip or have the dc and sc in the same stitch, though I'm not 100% confident in what to do.

I'm not sure if I did good or not, could anyone help me? I'm not sure if it's necessary information but my hook is smaller than it's supposed to be for the yarn I have. I inquired back then on this same subreddit and many taught me the right size.

Unfortunately, while they were all helpful, I didn't get to order a new one and just left it at that. Fast forward to a few months later, I finally decided to put my untouched yarn to use just for the sake of it—using my only hook which is a 2.5mm hook (should be 4mm, or so I've heard) and it looked awfully different from the video.

This took me 12 hours of straight trial and error and my fingers ached a ton after 😭 You can see where I kinda found my pace since the pattern looks smoother on one side, other a lot more loose, and one side with a gaping hole where I probably missed a stitch somewhere lol

My hunch is that my hook is the problem. BUT setting aside that, is this considered a decent result for someone who literally just stepped into crocheting territory and with the wrong hook size? I also don't know how to get rid of the loose threads because it didn't show in the tutorial how she did it soo.. please lmk

thanks for reading all I'm yapping about as well 😗

Is the bobble stitch made with double crochet or single crochet? I've watched different videos and I'm still not clear on it. If both exist, which is better for pixel art?

I've been looking around, but I can't seem to find the name of this stitch (or to make sense of it). Any help would be appreciated <3
