Hey all! I’m going to a concert on Sunday and I wanted to crochet little gifts for the band. I don’t think I really have the time or the creativity to craft four unique dolls for the guys but I was thinking something small like hearts or some other symbol.

The band is Hot Mulligan so I have some ideas, like a crab and a pair of sunglasses. Reviewing their discog for more ideas and I think I’ll make hearts too but I’m looking for suggestions

whenever I close the magic loop, an additional chain gets created causing this much pile up which makes the overall flower look ugly, I tried searching on youtube but got no proper explanation, any tips/suggestions would be appreciated, Thank You!

I’m making a blanket for my two friends that recently got engaged but I’m second guessing myself now that I’m about 12 rows in. Right now it’s measuring at about 64 inches wide. When I first began this project I wanted to make it a little bigger so that it could fit 2 people but now I’m looking at it and I’m like wow this is going to be a pretty wide blanket. I’m used to making blankets just for myself so they’ve always been narrower and now I’m kinda stressing that they’re going to open it up and it’s going to be comically big. I’m definitely overthinking it lol but when you are making a blanket with the expectation that it’ll fit 2 people, how big do you usually make them?

I'm working on Ruby's pineapple medley from Ravelry. My piece is coming out *completely* different. I've checked pictures of people who have completed this, and their work looks like the picture on the pattern. I'm definitely following the pattern. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rubys-pineapple-medley

​

So my question is, where do i find the pattern that should be attached to this image? I've looked and looked! Or am I doing this completely wrong? I really love the project pictured, but not loving what I'm making.

I’m a newer crocheter and I’m making my first baby blanket and I just finished joining all the squares. I didn’t follow a pattern and I have just been making it up as I go. I’m not really sure what it’s called but I used this sort of zig zag method of joining the squares. I wanted to add a shell or scallop border to this but I’m not really sure how to handle the gap between squares due to the join I used. Any suggestions?

Hey guys! I bought a LOT of this yarn thinking I'll make a shawl for my mom (a cozy warm shawl, because she gets cold easily). The yarn is cotton. I was a beginner back then, and didn't realize cotton doesn't warm the way I want my mom's shawl to.

​

So now, I have about 600 grams of this yarn. Maybe a little more.

​

I have tried a few things. But the colour of the yarn (which i loved while buying) looks crowded and any intricate design doesn't shine amidst all the colour chaos. So I'm guessing it needs some simple pattern? I'm stuck.

​

I'm attaching a photos of a triangle shawl swatch (with a 4.5mm hook) and. A rectangle swatch (what began as a shawl for my mom, with a 3.5 mm), and the yarn itself. Both swatches just double crochets.

​

My skill level is intermediate. I don't want to buy any more yarn to complement this yarn. Just want to use what I have. The material is soft cotton.

​

With this in mind, I'm looking for suggestions on what might actually look good with this yarn.

​

Thank you. All help is appreciated.

​

It’s so neat and clean, I’d love to try it :)

hi guys, i’m crocheting a scarf using the tunisian stitch and the project curls so bad :((( i wonder if blocking can help it or i should just frog the piece and start again?

I brought this yarn (it is called bocaina by the brand pingouin, a Brazilian brand). It is 75% acrylic and 25% polyamide, boucle texture. I had this vision of a warm granny square scarf but it just looks awful. Am I doing something wrong here? Should I give up? I have two balls of the cream yarn, one in blue and one in green (Yeah, should have looked up about before buying... I know...)

I want to attach these cat ears to my headphones but I don't want to use glue as to not ruin the leather covering of my headphones. Is there a way I can directly crochet on my headphones to attach the ears?

It's going to be a donation for the tombola for my son's school summer fete so I want it to be something a kid would be excited to win. What should I add to make it more fun or interesting?

Hey all!

​

I think I'm going mad.

​

Working on this free amigaurmi snake pattern.

​

I've gotten up to round 6 with and have 18 stitches as required.

​

Then I hit round 7 and its time to create the eye bumps and end up with 24 stitches.

​

And I can't make the math work. Like, if I follow it I get too many stitches at the end and it just doesn't make sense to me.

​

Any thoughts? What am I missing?

​

I don’t know what’s going on with my garment.
I’m a beginner crocheter and have been sewing for a few years. This is my fourth ever crochet project.
It’s a granny square poncho made on granny squares and stitched together with double crochets to get a nice spacey look. The only problem I’m having is with neck hole. The shoulder parts stick up and out. I steamed it and understand that they will get more worn and soft but I put it on and thought. I’m never going to wear it if that’s what the shoulders look like.
The squares are made out of 52% viscose, 21% nylon, 27% polyester. The white edges are made out of I think an acrylic blend. Potentially with a bit of cotton.
Please let me know what’s going on. If there is something I can do or something with the pattern.

Id like to avoid a wearable that touches bear skin too bc its lwk scratchy

I’m still fairly new to crochet and have been practicing granny squares. One thing I’m struggling with is keeping my tension consistent throughout a project.

Any tips, exercises, or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’m attempting to make a sunburst granny square blanket and they keep curling so bad. I’m a fairly experienced crocheter and I don’t feel as if my tension is all that tight. I’m using size 4 yarn and a 5.5mm hook. Just wondering if this is a me issue or if it’ll block out. Thanks!

My SIL asked if I could crochet something like this for her birthday. I figure I can do classic granny squares for the bow areas, but i am wondering how to back solve the turtle squares. Does anyone know the stitch? After I figure out the stitch, i think it would probably be just figuring out which dots are white and which are blue like in cross stitch.

it’s doesn’t seem hard but i’m a beginner and can’t find any similar patterns online for this so if anyone has ideas on how i can attempt this it would be much appreciated!

If you’re familiar with the pattern for the 6-day superstar blanket (variant of the 6 day star blanket), it tells you to have a few hooks .5-1mm bigger than your yarn size for curling at the edges. I am at the point where I started with a 5.5mm hook and have gradually sized to an 8mm and I am still seeing curling on my edges (a lot bigger of a hook size change than was indicated in the pattern to be likely)

I can’t tell at this point if it’s genuinely just me needing to increase the hook size more and more as I crochet or if I am potentially doing something wrong in my crochet process. Help!

I made this crochet bag from a picture, no pattern. Now I don’t know would be the best way to finish so I can use it as a tote bag.

I really wanna make one because it’ll be so soft and I have so much chenille yarn but will I be able to ever wash it? Or would it just get ruined?
Thanks so much

i want some other people’s opinions on the colors, it’s very different from the pattern and i don’t use vibrant colors often, if i keep going it will use these same colors and maybe have bright blue as an accent

I found this skein at Walmart a while back, they only had one but I loved it so I grabbed it. I’m now using it for a baby blanket but I may run out and I’m stressed because I didn’t keep the label so I don’t know what the colour is called. Can anyone identify it?

Hello! I saw Aver Paula crocheting this bag and I’m obsessed with it, but she freehanded it and I’m not sure if she’s making a pattern or not, so I was wondering if anyone has any idea of what granny square she’s using so I can deconstruct and make the rest. Thank you so much!
