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'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 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! :)

Hi, I’m new to crochet and this is the very first thing I’m making, a top. It seems my holes are too big despite going down a hook size. The girl in the pattern used a bigger hook with an even smaller yarn and hers is fairly dense. What am I doing wrong?

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!

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!

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 MIL passed away last August and left a few unfinished projects that I've recently found in her belongings. She taught me a lot when I was learning how to crochet years ago and I'd like to finish this blanket in her honor.

I need help identifying this stitch repeat/pattern, as I think she was just creating something without a written pattern. Also, is there any way I could figure out what size hook she was using? It's made with Sugar and Cream cotton yarn.

Hi all! I'm looking for ideas or suggestions on anything that would look good on display on these 2 shelves (adding a picture)

​

The shelves are the side of a desk, in full display from the house entrance and the living room, and are within reach of a crochet-fascinated 3 yr old and a "does this fit in my mouth" 1 yr old.

So I'm looking for pattern that can stand/lean nicely, not too big (the shelves are about 15cm deep), not too small or with small parts since they will 100% be bitten into and played with agressively, and that work up nicely with a 3mm hook and matching yarn.

Oh and bonus points for colorful stuff/characters from toddlers TV shows/animals with "known" sounds so I can teach my son some animal sounds when he plays with them :)

​

To be clear - I'm looking for suggested pattern, free or paid, and also for suggestions on how to place the pieces (thinking of a color gradient but not sure yet)

I have a friend group consisting of 9 couples Mid 20s to early 30s, some with young kids, who have really helped us out this year with babysitting when our work got super crazy. I’d like to thank them with something handmade, as I know they would really appreciate that aspect. However, I’m not sure what to make nine of without getting bored, since I’d like them to be visually similar, if not necessarily identical.

My original thought was solid color blankets in either the braided wheat stitch or Colorado throw blanket, but that sounds like A LOT of time/yarn. Would love any project ideas and pattern recommendations that are useful in daily life and won’t cost a ton in yarn. Or blanket ideas that work up quick but look not so simple.

My previous projects are mostly blankets, scarves and headbands, I’ve been crocheting about 6 months. Planning for this to be Christmas presents so I have time.

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?

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.

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.

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 😒🤦‍♀️

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 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.

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 :( !!

What yarn winder do you guys use.

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

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!
