Would this crochet shorthand make sense to you?

Would this crochet shorthand make sense to you?

I’m trying to simplify a granny square pattern enough to fit on a small acrylic keychain.

I came up with this shorthand:

3 = 3dc

C = corner (3/ch2/3)

S = side space

MC

R1 [3/ch2]x4

R2 [C ch1]x4

R3 [C ch1 S3 ch1]x4

Would this make sense to you as a crochet pattern?

Anything confusing or unclear?

Small crochet business potential?

I’ve done a somewhat “soft launch” of some my crocheted handbags just for fun one night (i.e. just thought I’d run a few ideas through chat and created an instagram page). I’ve had about 10~12 orders over a span of a week and a half. Could these clutch handbags have potential for me to really invest in starting a small business? I’m honestly struggling to commit to starting something like this and don’t know if I should. My husband hypes me up but he’s my husband, it’s kind of a requirement 😂🥲

Second photo shows example of hardware. I’ve been giving inquirers options of gold or silver along with preferred length of chain (photo examples 2 & 3).

Please be nice. 🥲

How to make a blanket bigger from original pattern?

I found a tutorial to make a blanket but want to make it bigger all around. It’s a Suzette stitch with a shell border. The instructions say 84 for the original chain and 81 rows. Multiples of an even number is what the instructions say but I don’t understand multiples. Can I just add 10 chains to the original 84 and then 10 rows? How will that affect the border?

Best yarn for crochet summer tops/tank tops — cotton or bamboo?

Hi everyone! I want to make some lightweight summer crochet tops/tank tops and I’m confused about which yarn to choose — 100% cotton or bamboo yarn.

I’ve read mixed opinions online. I mainly want something that: feels soft on the body, is breathable for hot weather, works well for lightweight tank tops/camis, doesn’t become too heavy or saggy after wearing

This will also be my first wearable project, so I’d really appreciate beginner-friendly yarn recommendations too.

Would you recommend:

100% cotton

100% bamboo

or a cotton-bamboo blend?

Also, if you have any favorite yarn brands for summer wearables, please share them!”

Help! Which is the inside and which is the outside?

I'm using chenille for the first time, and doing yarn under for the first time. It's (hopefully) going to be an owl when I'm done. Which is the wrong side and which is the right side? I need to BLO for my next round so I'm stuck. Thanks for your help!

Help with absurd pattern of crochet kit of frog from five below

I’m relatively new to crochet. I’ve made a couple of small amigurumi pieces. Ive also made a blanket, and I’ve been working on granny squares lately.

My best friends daughter wants to learn how to crochet, and got a kit for her birthday. I want to make some videos for her to walk her through how to make it so they gave me the kit. I CANNOT make sense of this pattern.

It would be amazing if someone could tell me if there is a way to make this frog out of the absolute trash instructions provided. Or tell me if I’m crazy and I should be able to figure this out. If possible, I’d like to make the tutorial videos and use this as a lesson that you can’t trust every pattern and you have to improvise sometimes.
