Can someone please help me figure out the stitching on this crochet dress
I don’t think it’s double crochet cause that would be too thick
#crochet #diy

Somebody sent me this as inspo for the face cover of a mask. Im specifically not sure if the border around the eyes, the bean shape, and crisp border can be done with crochet. Worried it might be AI and undoable. Experienced crocheters, please help!

Hi everyone!
I’m a Recreation Specialist at a federal correctional facility, and I help oversee our Hobbycraft program. Crochet is one of our more popular activities, and I’m currently working on expanding the selection of patterns available to the individuals in our program.
Because they do not have internet access, I’m trying to build a physical library/binder of crochet patterns that they can browse through and use for projects.
I’m looking for free patterns that creators are willing and legally able to share, preferably in PDF or another printable format. I’d especially love to find:
• Amigurumi and animals
• Movie/TV-inspired characters
• Dinosaurs
• Hats and beanies
• Holiday/seasonal projects
• Sports-themed projects
• Food and novelty items
• Useful items
• Beginner projects
• More challenging/intermediate and advanced projects

Patterns that use regular yarn and fairly basic materials are especially helpful. Because this is a correctional environment, we have restrictions on certain materials and tools, but I can usually adapt things like plastic safety eyes by having participants embroider the eyes with yarn instead.
I’m not asking anyone to share paid or copyrighted patterns that they don’t have permission to distribute. I’m specifically looking for patterns you’ve personally created and are willing to share, patterns released for free by their creators, or links to legitimate free patterns online.

If you’re a pattern designer and wouldn’t mind allowing us to print your free pattern for use within our Hobbycraft program, that would be incredibly appreciated as well.
My goal is to eventually put together a fairly large, organized crochet pattern library so participants have a variety of projects and difficulty levels to choose from.
If you have anything you’d be willing to share, or know of a good source for printable free patterns, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!
