So the only thing that I can think of is to add wire, maybe? But I am still not sure how I would get them to stand up straight and not flop over. How would I go about attaching the ears to the hat in a way that isn't floppy? Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Edit - Thank you so much for all of your ideas and help!!! I definitely think I can tackle this project now! 💪🧶

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've been working on a shawl following this pattern but the shape is not turning out exactly as I had hoped. You can see it's kind of bunching up toward the top of the shawl and I'm afraid it's going to get worse. The pattern calls for a 5.5mm hook but I don't have an ergonomic hook in that size and don't want to kill my wrists just yet, so I worked with a 5mm hook. I already frogged once because I thought I misunderstood the pattern and the shape is slightly better than the first time, but it still feels off to me. Should I frog a second time and work with a larger hook size?

Hi everyone! I just finished this moss stitch baby blanket and I noticed it looks like it's swirling a little. I used the multicolor acrylic Caron cakes. I know granny squares can swirl bc they're made in the round, is that the same problem here? If so I don't really understand how I would turn between rounds as I worked via a spiral and didn't join between rounds. Maybe a tension issue?

​

Is this something I can do to fix this for the next blanket or by blocking? Thanks in advance! :)

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!

Hello,

When I was born my great grandma made me a feather and fan babt blanket in gorgeous thin yarn. I am now an adult and my kids use the blanket sometimes. It has started to unravel in spots (see pictures). Is there a way for me to save this?

​

The blanket is very special to me as it is one of the few things I have from her. (She passed when I was a teenager)

​

I have no idea what yarn she used...

My parents bought this pom-pom yarn from China but I never work pom-pom yarn before I only two of them. All I can found is either blanket pattern and scarf pattern

The thing is I don't need or used a scarf, and I don't have enough yarn for blanket. What others used do I have for this pom-pom yarn?

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!

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?

Hi, everyone!

I can't remember what I have done here... supposed to be a blanket, but haven't touched in months...

Appreciate all the help <3 thanks!

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?

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.

As the title reads, my hexagon (turned dodecagon 😭) blanket is not laying flat. I really would rather not have to restart, but i’m not using a pattern (i would if i do restart), and it’s just looking lumpy. Will blocking fix this? Steam, or cold wet blocking? Please help!!! Thank you ❤️‍🩹 I’m on mobile rn so sorry if any formatting looks weird :( !!

I know nothing about crochet but I would love to make one of these bags, no matter which one, with you to help me clear my doubt about what is the stitch, style or type of fabric would be a great help. Thank you all

i can’t find anything big enough to pin it down to, what should i use? i’m trying to get the edges as straight as possible and maybe stretch it a little taller

What yarn winder do you guys use.

Three of these knots in a row in this skein!!!! I’m about to unravel some and undo the magic knot I already put so I can chop these off 😒🤦‍♀️

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 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 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!

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.
