Please help😭 this is a repost bc no one replied to the first one :(
HELP! Hello there. I have been working on this blanket daily for months. I wet blocked each square after I made it. I do realize now that not all my squares are even. I read that tension can vary from day to day and mood lol. I have now joined all of my squares together and the blanket is not laying flat at all.
Can this be fixed by washing it and blocking the entire blanket? If so, how do you block such a large item? I live in an RV so my space is extremely limited.
Should I wash and block before or after adding the border?
Another thing I’ve noticed are holes in the corners after joining. Can those be fixed?
I have put a lot of time and love into this and I am feeling super discouraged right now. This blanket is for my best friend and she payed for the yarn. I’m a little embarrassed because I feel like I did shi**y work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA!
I have been trying for some time to crochet a rectangle, which will then be used as the base for a cuboid amigurumi I am making.
I have tried a range of rectangle patterns, but none of them seem to work. I'm an intermediate crochetter who understands how different stitches work but I just can't get my head around a rectangle. My latest attempt is based on the crochet rectangle pattern linked in r/crochet. Picture is attached after 3 rounds and it's incredibly wonky, any idea what I am doing wrong? I have had similar results for other patterns.
Hi, I have two crochet ponchos that are on my list to make and both of them do not come with a pattern. But they look like this and I just had a question on how each of these ponchos are supposed to be crocheted? They are so beautiful but there is no pattern. I found one on Pinterest but no pattern. The other one the artist does not have a pattern. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I already looked up the ponchos and used different keywords to see if I could find it on google and instructions on how to make it but I could not find anything.
I’m working on a moss stitch baby blanket. Never tried this stitch before, but I was cruising right along thinking I had this thing nailed. Then I spread it out to admire it and realized I’ve lost a full INCH from one end to the other! Clearly I dropped stitches or my tension is wonky or something, but now I don’t know if I should start over or just add the border and move on. Thoughts?
Cant figure out how to join into a project to create a collar. Its having me join in 4 rows down from where we currently got to. Im confused how to do this..
Does this mean back loop or turning your work? Another thought was that I would bring the hook from the back to front? Help!
try not to judge me too hard lol, i’m a beginner trying tapestry for the first time. the second picture was my attempt yesterday, as you can see it did not go well at all & i recognized a few of my mistakes. but for my attempt today (slide 3&4) i don’t understand what im doing wrong, especially on the 4th row. any help is appreciated, thanks!
update
i figured it out , i wasn’t going back & forth, just one direction only ! thank you for the help haha !
Hi everyone! Yesterday was my very first time selling my crochet at any sort of market in person. While I didn’t make quite as many sales as I was hoping, I still made a few, which is a win! I’m trying to figure out if my low sales were due to an issue with the presentation of my work, or if I just wasn’t in front of the right audience. I would appreciate any and all feedback on my table and what I can do to improve.
Things I already plan on doing/would like to do:
-add table risers
-add an outdoor rug
-make/get a banner/sign
-add more $10 or less items
-actually remember to fill my sandbags so I don’t have to use rocks as weights lol
Thank you so much! I appreciate any and all help.
thinking about buying this to make something special for myself for a change... Anyone use this yarn?? How does it work up?? Does the fact that it's unwound make it harder to work with??
Hi all, I hope this post is allowed on here.
My boss is having a baby soon and I want to make her a baby blanket.
I’ve never had a baby so I’m just unsure on what’s safe? is it safer to knit a baby blanket? or will crochet be okay?
If you have any patterns you’d recommend please leave them in the comments!
Thanks in advance!!!
Spent all weekend crocheting a bag and wondering which is the right side. Is it the inside of the bag and I should turn it inside out? Just curious what is correct
Hello! I want to recreate this. I’m not sure where to get the grommets or how the mechanist with the leather works. I also don’t know how to do it. Does anyone here have any tutorials or suggestions? I haven’t been able to find anything online. I am using raffia yarn, and I’m in the us.
Thank you!
Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great day! :) anyways, i am making a jacket for a friend, and she loves the look of baggy clothes that are cinched at the wrist and waist. This is my first time crocheting with elastic thread, and I am using 24/7 Cotton DK Weight yarn and carrying it along with this elastic. I haven't ordered it yet, I wanted to know if this was the kind of elastic that i should buy to crochet with. I will be crocheting slip stich blo (everyone's favorite) ribbing for the cuffs & waist, and also, how would I weave in the ends? would i do it as i normally would with yarn? In my mind, the elastic is sort of cinching the ribbing/holding it together? so if i weave it in normally, is it at risk to come loose? Please let me know if you guys weave in your ends with elastic in a different way.
Thank you for reading!! :D
Hi! I am new to crochet.
I am trying to start by just making a simple double knot granny square. I have tried twice now, but edges are curving in. I even try to pull one of the knots one row below to “finish” the square shape. I am using a 4 mm hook with DK yarn if that helps any.
I am really struggling with the square shape. Any tips?
Really appreciate the help!
I want to crochet some things to put on my backpack, either to pin or tie on. I live in a climate that's mostly snowy (Wisconsin) so I need it to survive that. I like a nature, vintage, witch/pagan aesthetics (I follow germanic druidism and nordic pagan beliefs), what do you all recommend?
I added a dragonfly I made :> pattern is from "Fiber Magick" by Opal Luna
What size thread is this? It doesn’t say it on the label.
Hello! I crocheted my first Wooble about a year ago, & have done a few since. I’ve learned basic stitches, color changes, sewing, things like that. But I am curious which Woobles kits I should try if I want to continue to learn more crochet skills? Which ones are the most valuable in this area? Thank you!
I’m so happy and proud of myself!
I am following a kit/tutorial and followed the instructions to change yarn colors in the middle of the round, but found that as I progressed the yarn across the inside of the plushie is warping its shape. It is meant to be round.
Can I cut the yarn inside so the shape isn’t warping anymore? Or could that lead to the loosening of the stitches as I continue on, preventing me from continuing? TIA.
