r/Brochet

Before committing myself to a bigger project, i did this test with metal scales and velvet yarn (it is so soft on the skin, i love it).

I used some velvet yarn from Alison & Mae (from Action), a 4.0mm crochet hook and some metal scales bought on internet.

The result is pretty heavy but it gives a nice drape. My final goal is to make a crop top.

I think after a long search, I may have found my community. Hello! I’m a mom of a neurodivergent daughter. She has always been fascinated by my ability to crochet. She loves wearing my pieces. She does have ADHD, but she would sit and watch me crochet. “Wow. It’s like magic. I don’t understand how it goes in string but comes out clothes!”

I learned to crochet from my grandmother. She learned from her Aunt. That means I don’t know how to read or create a pattern because my mom’s generation is the first literate one in the family. My grandmother drove a bus for a living and I believe her aunt was a maid.

The first outfit pictured my daughter actually wore in a National Pageant and won as Miss Preteen Maryland. It represents colonialism in the colors of the Maryland State Flag (Red and White for Calvert, Black and Yellow for Baltimore). Too bad COVID shut the National Competition down.

I'm glad this is freeform, because some of these yarn types are impossible to see stitches with 😭 The sherpa texture is my favorite so far, in terms of most "moss-like," but it's a nightmare to work with

Hey guys, I've been testing crocheted chainmain. These are the best two. You can't feel the metal at all on the other side. So it would be good for clothes.

But I can't think of what to make with this style. Help me with ideas!

You can tell the SS is better at holding its shape, but is much heavier. The fishnet stitch is loose and airy and light, but the rings are less obvious, and would more likely be detailing.

So this is my crochet fingerless glove not the first time making them I really enjoy making them a lot but I just started doing it again yesterday I just need help on which stitch to use so you can actually see the white

It's her birthday tomorrow and I'm stuck in uni for endsems 😭😭.

I am freehanding a balaclava and have done the hood portion in Tunisian crochet. For that stretch classic with knit ribbing, I’d like to knit the front/face edge and neck portion (see yellow areas) in 1x1 or 2x2 rib. I already knit but haven’t tried putting them together.
I crocheted the hood in DK yarn with a 6mm hook. I also did a bit of swatching for the neck doing a couple of rows of Tunisian simple stitch (TSS) as a mock bit of hood and knitting off the other end of the TSS cast on. I found it to be really holey even with 4mm needles. I don’t mind if the knit portion is thinner but I would like the stitches to not seem super wide/holey or the transition really holey.

Has anyone else worked something like this? I would love any suggestions (particularly about finding the right hook/needle combination 😅)!

Thanks in advance ! :)

Needed a bag for all my kitchen odds and ends, so I thought this would be on theme! I got frustrated a few times, but after the effort of adding a zipper and stabilizing the bottom with some cut up doormats/wash cloths from the dollar store I couldn’t be happier with it

Used 100% cotton dk weight yarn and the modern knitted tank youtube tut by knitcroaddict and slightly altered it for my build and made my own colourwork graphs for the design. I also opted for two rows single crochet borders in red all around instead of ribbing since i didnt have the correct needle sizes! Its not perfect but i love it and im now emboldened to try even more complicated things even tho i definitely do not have the skillset yet lol

I can totally invent a drinking game with this like if you land on 1 , 2 or 3 you take that amount of sips, if you land on the mine you shug, if you land on the emoji you choose someone to take a sip aaand if you land on the flag you skip your turn 😂 what do u think ?

I couldn’t run to my yarn stash quick enough. Oh it’sfar from perfect but none of the beans are coming out. It works and it feels right when I kicked it around. I forgot how much of a stress reliever these things were. My generation’s nee doh.
