What does this stitch mean and how do I crochet this?

So this is called 'Single Crochet with 2 Double Crochets worked together on top.' This comes in the first round right after the chain ring. When I saw this on the chart, I thought it was two different rounds, so I did a chain ring, sc in the first round, and then I did dc2tog the following round. However, apparently, this can be done all in one go? Can somebody please help me with this?

I am crocheting a hexa cardigan and I need help!

Hello Everyone! I am new to this page.

I will attach a picture for your better understanding.

Like I said, I am making a hexa cardigan.

( For those of you who are not familiar, it's like crocheting two big hexagons, laying them flat in L shape and sew the back leave the front voila! A nice cardigan)

So I decided to make granny squares for the back instead of just sewing the two sides to have a nice design on the back.

The problem is, the granny squares are not fitting the size.

Is there any way I can knit between the spaces? What should I do? And how?

TL;DR

Granny squares made for back of the cardigan are falling short of length. Should I crochet/knit/sew Between the spaces? If so how?

If not, what should I do?

Filet crochet: what do the dashes and crosses (and sun) mean?

On filet crochet diagrams with irregular borders I sometimes notice dashes and crosses (pointing) at the border.

There is also a fat line with a sun. I believe this is where you should begin (and add the irregular bits on later).

But what do the crosses and dashes mean? See pictures attached.

Crocheting cozy oversized pajama hoodie

Hi everyone, I am curious in making a plus size friendly pajama hoodie/robe inspired clothing I can wander in my home but be cozy when gaming. I guess my question is what yarn would be recommended if chunky yarn may be heavy? And would I need a fabric under it/sew to keep seeable holes from the crocheting? To be honest it’s just to be in the home so I’m not freezing all the time 😅😅😅😅 I’m not great understanding measurements I just crochet as I go and see if that’s the length and width I like 😆 I was thinking of trying to crochet long and wide rectangular lengths or maybe pentagons? How would I go about making a hoodie part and big center pocket to put snacks in? Thank you all

How to crochet a ring box for an absolute beginner?

Hello, first time I post on reddit. Here’s the thing, I’d like to crochet a ring box to propose (because she loves crochet and I want to make the whole thing more personal than just a good looking ring), but I never crocheted at all and know nothing about it. It seems there’s a thousand tutorials but everything is unknown for me: one snitch, double snitch etc..

What would you recommend me to read/watch etc. ? I’m not really getting into crochet, it’s more like a one time thing for this specific occasion.

Thank you so much for reading, any help is appreciated.

Help with the arms section of this grogu-inspired pattern

I’ve tried and failed several times to understand the arms section of this pattern. Is this a formatting error, or are you actually making another chain of 6 after working around the initial chain (see bolded section below)?

To start this piece, we are going to make a chain and then crochet in the round around the chain.
Chain 6. 
Round 1) Down the chain: 4 sc, 3 sc in the next st, Up the other side of the chain: 4 sc, 3 sc in the next st (14)
1) Chain 6
2) Working down the chain: 4 sc, 3 sc in the next st
3) Up the other side of the chain: 4 sc, 3 sc in the next st
Round 2) sc around (14) 
Round 3) [5 sc, dec] rep 2 times (12) 
Round 4) [4 sc, dec] rep 2 times (10) 
Round 5) sc around (10) 
Round 6) – Round 13) sc around (10) 
Make 2 more sc's.

How to better join my edges for this granny square blanket

So I did chair 3 in the corner spaces but only crocheted to the chain one space because I’m a silly goose and followed two different videos. Anyway, how can I fix it to come together a bit better? Should I just use the tails to connect the remaining 2 chains and that’ll help it look more boxy? Any advice or recommendations are appreciated!! This is my second granny square blanket and it turned out way better than the first so don’t be mean to me 🥹🤣

I just saw a pattern on instagram i dont know the name of..

I just saw someone do a pattern i dont know the name of. Its as follows-

Yarn over, enter the hook in the hole, yarn over and pull( 3 loops on the hook)

Now instead yarn over and pulling through all 3 loops to do a hdc she did something different .

She pulled the first loop under the second loop( like a slip stitch), then yarn over and pull through both loop.

Does this pattern have a name?

Sorry first time on reddit and english is not my first language. Any help would be appreciated 🙏

I need help repairing my girlfriend's crochet blanket that has extreme wear to it and is unraveling/unraveled.

I want to do something special for my girlfriend, this is her baby blanket in the photos. I took it upon myself to untangle all of the knots and bought some yarn so I can hopefully repair it. I want to hopefully use some of the original yarn material to repair it with the new yarn, even if I have to cut it out. I need help because I've never taken on a project so big before and im not even sure where to start repairing it. If anyone could refer me to videos or instructions or anything I would appreciate it so much. She really values this blanket as its been with her for her entire life, and I want it to last longer.

Anything would be helpful, I dont really know what to do at all right now besides untangle it which is not problem for me at all and is honestly kinda fun to do

Im not completely sure if its a crochet blanket, but regardless I was to repair it with crochet because I dont know how to knit or any of that.

(I would appreciate if you could be very specific if possible because I take things very literally as a neurodivergent person and might misunderstand any vague instructions but if not that's alright too)

Edit: there seems to be some confusion and that might be on me. I asked her before I even touched her blanket because I know how special it is and would never do that without enthusiastic permission.

  1. I fully intend to acquire new skills, put hours and hours into this, and do so much research before I attempt repair.

  2. I appreciate all of the constructive and helpful advice it means so much to both of us

  3. I am not unraveling the blanket ! 😭 im gonna put a lifeline in so I dont accidently unravel it more though. Its only this one end that's unraveling, Im gonna post another photo below in a bit of the full blanket that I should've put in the original post

  4. I didn't mean to come off ignorantly and assume the blanket was crochet, I figured it was knit and was just trying to be hopeful. I cant edit the title but I didn't mean to call it a crochet blanket 🥲 I meant im trying to fix it with crochet but even now after reading all the advice im going to acquire some knitting skills as well. I apologize for the confusion and inaccuracies

Spider-Man inspired Hexi cardigan!

Took some pictures thinking this wasn’t looking right but quickly realized I may just be being too hard on myself! What do you guys think? Also does anyone have suggestions on how to make it more obvious it is Spider-Man inspired rather than it just looking like the Fourth of July?

Why does my crochet project looks messy instead of being neat?

So, it's the first time I'm ever crocheting something, and I decided to make a Spider-Man cardigan (the webbed one). I haven't missed a single stitch and have been super cautious to make it perfect, but why does it look so crooked and messy instead of flat and neat? I'm so confused about what I'm doing wrong. Should I continue and will it be okay in the end, or should I start over?

​P.S. I tried making the magic circle, but after so many attempts and trying different techniques from YouTube, I still couldn't get it to close properly, it kept opening right up after 2 to 3 rows.

Any tips for that would be hugely appreciated!

Does anyone know of someone who could make a custom pattern for me?

So idk if this is something weird to ask for or if it's been asked before, but I'm wanting to make something specific and there isn't really any patterns for it. I could probably just take a premade pattern and modify it, but I don't really want to figure out how, and I'm lazy and also don't really have the time to do that (yet I have time to crochet, ik😅).

I'd be willing to pay for a custom pattern, of course. I'm just wanting to know if anyone does custom crochet patterns like this or knows someone who does.

Advice needed

Ive just finished my first crochet project! I made a kindle sleeve. The tutorial i followed said to make it about an inch bigger than the base of the kindle which i did but it seems to have shrunk and as it goes further up it gets loose. (I know tension is a big thing in crocheting that i need to work on so it could be that) but is there a way i can improve this?

Poncho, shawl or sweater with crows pattern wanted

I want to make a poncho with a crow or crows on it and need help finding a pattern. I'm an intermediate crocheter, can do mosaic and filet crochet and can follow a graph if I have to although I prefer line by line. I've done a lot of blankets (made the Rosetta) but I'm not great with shaping wearables which is why I thought a poncho might be easier. I can't quite figure out how I'd use a graphgan chart to make a poncho since the image would be rotated?
