Braver, Stronger, Smarter & Loved

I recently completed this one in (somehow) 3 weeks. Border and all it took me around 85 hours. Full sized bed size. I had made this exact blanket for a friends granddaughter (but with her favorite colors “pink, purple and sparkles”) and a bit smaller a couple months ago. Another friend saw that one and approached me about making one for her adult daughter who was struggling with several things in her life, but loves Winnie the Pooh. i asked what colors, and she didn’t know and left it up to me. I chose a camouflage variegated yarn for the contrast to embrace the “hundred acre woods” idea and I kind of love how the reverse side came out - it looks almost like an old English tweed. Amd apparently her daughter loves it because she’s using it as her comforter on her bed! 😊

This is mosaic crochet and the pattern is by Nerd Princess designs. Her mosaic patterns are fabulous!

A recent finish

Made for a friend who is moving to Florida. I used dk weight yarn (lion brand mandala in “spirit”) and used the Suzette stitch so it wouldnt be too heavy/warm. I’d like to say never again but I know myself too well….

Does anyone know how "indent" letters/numbers in amigurumi?

My girlfriend wants me to make her a pillow of one of her meds as she calls it her "sunshine" pill lol and instead of it just being a big ol' circle I'd like to have the impressions of the actual markings of the med.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks so much in advance!

Finished the project my friend asked for

My friend asked if I could crochet her book as a centerpiece for a party she’s hosting. The spine of the book has her name on it.

How to begin a cluster?

I am doing a pattern for a doily which, after creating a 7-chain ring, asks to create 12 2-treble-crochet clusters. I am confused how to start the first one.

This is what the pattern says:

>Round 0: CH 7, join with SLST in first CH to form a circle.
Round 1: Beg. 2TR-Cluster [see glossary below], (CH 2, 2TR-Cluster into the circle) 11 times, CH 2. Join with SLST in Beg. 2TR-Cluster. (= 12 clusters, 12 ch2 spaces).

The glossary from the pattern:

>Beg. 2TR-Cluster: CH 3, holding back the last loop of stitch, work TR into the beginning circle, yarn over and pull through all 2 loops on hook.

Question: I feel that Beg. 2TR-Cluster is just CH 3 followed by a TR. Or is there any difference?

my very first project done! :D

flower coaster bouquet! i been wanting to make this after seeing other people do this so i learnt crochet solely to do this and i have to say i’m proud of myself not only because of the end results, but for preserving and not giving up even thought i have had many crash outs over the magic circle, the finger pains, picking up a new hobby and keeping with it. if anyone has any tips to help with consistent stitch tension, i would love it please!

:D

Ideas for a chenille pink scarf

I recently finished making a moss stitch blanket with the same yarn for my mother and was wondering if anyone had any pattern ideas for a scarf as she really likes the material (which is good as I bought too much). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Emberwood

Emberwood pattern by The Floral Hook. This will eventually become a blanket when part two of the pattern is released (probably in a month or two), but for now it's a beautiful, flowery square.

Pattern is here: https://ravel.me/emberwood

Did Lion Brand yarn stop selling their skein tones line?

I'm trying to find specifically the ball labeled chocolate to finish a project but I can't find it please help. I've been checking on their website are they just out of stock or did they stop manufacturing the line?

Rabbit, shorthand pattern

This short handed pattern assumes your hook and yarn are complimentary (3mm yarn with 2.75mm hook, 5mm yarn with 4.5mm hook, and so on);

And (unless there are special instructions) will note only the total number of stitches in each row.

~~~

-Rows will be separated by commas.

-All Parts Are Worked In The Round.

-The assumption is that you'll be increasing each row evenly (usually by 6 or by 3) for the whole project.

-When you see (___ x2) or (___x6) that means that's the total number of rows with that amount of stitches in it. For instance a row sequence that says 36x4 means that there are 4 total rows of 36.

-For more complicated patterns, rows that have specific instructions will be noted in brackets before the stitch count.

(Example: [(sc, inc)x6, sc18]36 –here, 36 is our stitch count and the brackets are the instructions for that one specific row.

If it said [(sc,inc)x6, sc18]36x6 then you would only use the special instructions for the first row, and sc in each st for the remainder of the row sequence.

-half rows are noted as (for instance) half8, half24, half15, etc. A half row is made by chaining half the stitch count of the row, skipping the same number of stitches as you chained, and then sc in each st to the rest of the row. Rows with an odd number of stitches should round down to the smallest “half” of its stitch count (so half of 15 would be 7, or half of 9 would be 4).

Example: half12 would translate to [ch6, sk6, sc6]. –Do Not Work In The Chains of your half rows.-- DO NOT WORK IN THE CHAINS OF YOUR HALF ROWS–

~~~

Head:

ch5, [(sc3, inc)x2]10, [(sc4, inc)x2]12, [incx6, sc 6]18, [decx6, incx6]18, [(inc,sc)x6,sc6]24, [(inc,sc2)x6, sc6]30, [(inc, sc3)x6, sc6]36, [(sc4, inc)x6, sc6]42, 48x9, 42, 36, 30, 24, 18, 12, 6 cl

Body:

6 12 18 24 36x7, [sc 15 (sc2, dec)x6]30, [(sc, inc)x6, (sc, dec)x6]30x5 24x2 18x2 slst long tail

Haunches:

6, 12, 18, 24x2, 18, sl st long tail

Feet:

Ch5→ 10, 12x3, 9x3, 6x2, 2across

Arms:

Ch5→ 10x4 half10 9 half9 9x4 8x3 6 2across

Ears:

what can i improve on?

hello! i started crocheting exactly a week ago and i just learnt the magic circle! why do my edges on the big circle curl? i count my stitches and im almost certain they are the correct numbers

also how do i make it look clearer? i know i definitely need to work on tension but i cant tell if its the yarn im using thats making it look a bit messy
