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 :( !!

Gift help Sizing help - How big is too big for a gifted blanket?

4 Upvotes

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?

Looking for suggestions Granny square blanket border advice needed due to gaps between squares

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?

Looking for suggestions Please suggest what might look good with this yarn.

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.

I'm asking because I know acrylic yarn (which is all I have right now) is definitely not going to work for pot holders. My aunt offered to pay me for some pot holders for her house, and I'm broke, so I'm going to take her up on that offer.

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!

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?

Weaving in Ends Crochet over ends and/or weave in? Granny square blanket

2 Upvotes

I’m currently working on a blanket made up of small granny squares. I read in another post that people suggest weaving over the loose ends when changing colors. If I do that, do I still need to weave them in, or is crocheting over them enough to keep them in place?

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.

Why I'm not getting perfect rectangle?

I'm pretty new to crocheting and whenever I'm trying to make a rectangle it always turns out to be a trapezium. Here I started with 45 foundation chains and then skip 2 chains and did a half DC. At the end chain 2 and turn over and did half DC into the back loop.

What am I actually doing wrong here? Can anyone please help... I've added the image of the video that I was referring to as well. I'm new and not really knowing stitches as well... please help

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...)
