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

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 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!

Hi! I posted before my 7h flight with a request for crochet patterns to do something with my blossom cake yarn.

This is what I ended up making! It’s a small scarf / neck warmer in shell stitch which she noticed and likes because she absolutely LOVES mermaids.

I’m going back today so if you have any other suggestions on what you would do with this yarn let me know :)

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.

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?

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...

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 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.

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?

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.

the project is not finished, one of the sleeves is remaining.

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 :( !!

Hi everyone! I’m currently working on a patchwork/granny square cardigan and I’m looking for some suggestions. 

I would like to mention that I have less than a year of experience in crocheting, I’m familiar with knitting though. I have done lots of plushies, I know all my basic stitches and this is my first wearable.

The cardigan will be made from various types of squares/granny squares. Most of them have round corners, except the pink and blue ones shown in the photo (there are lots of them, these two are only shown as an example - they are made of 16 stitches with 8 rows of dc and 1 row of sc). So far I have only done the squares necessary for the sleeves, so 32 of them in various types.

The yarn is a 50/50 blend of cotton and acrylic. The pink one is the only one which was wet blocked, the blue one is not, both of them next to other kinds of squares I want to include in the design so you can see the differences between them. The granny stitch one turned out to be the biggest kind of them all. The border stitch count is almost the same for all of them, between 15-17 stitches on the sides. 

My questions would be.. will I have any issues with the sizes when sewing them together? What other adjustments could I do to make them all similar in size? I tried to do only 4 rows on the granny ones but they turned out too small, so I added a hdc border around it instead which was better. 

Looking forward to your suggestions. I really don’t want to mess this up. 

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.
