Im looking to make a baby blanket in waffle stitch but struggling to find a good yarn for it. My husband loves this color but i dont know if this yarn would work well with waffle stitch. Any recommendations? TIA
I think this goes under blocking- But anyways, I’m making this bucket hat for my grandma and I really like the mesh pattern, but I’m worried about them getting deformed too much or something.
I wanna make the hat not as flimsy if that makes sense.
I’m making a baby blanket for my soon-to-exist niece with the Hugs and Kisses Baby Blanket pattern on Ravelry (which is essentially just sc row, crossed dc row, sc row, bobble and hdc row, sc row, crossed dc row, sc row, dc row). I’ve been using a variety of weight 3 yarns with a 4.5 mm hook throughout the piece, but I ran out of a skein in the middle of a bobble row, and while the yarn isn’t discontinued, the dye lot I had was vastly different from the ones in store. (I bought it on clearance… maybe that’s why?)
I found another skein with a color that’s almost identical to the weight 3 yarn I was using, but the issue is this new yarn is weight 4. Is there any way I can use this weight 4 yarn in substitution for the weight 3 skein I ran out of?
Hi! A friend wanted me to recreate this but I’m having trouble finding a granny square pattern similar to this. Any ideas?
I want to do this pattern but cant find a yarn that has all the colors, can someone help?
Any idea on how they crotcheted the yarn onto the string? Any tips would be super helpful!!
Hello all! I’m new to crochet but I wanted to make this blanket for a relative who is expecting. It’s been going great so far and I’m nearly finished but I’ve gotten to the border and am lost. I know what fphdc and bphdc and all that is, but my brain is not computing the way this is written at all. If at all possible, please advise!
Help! I was given this yarn a while back and can’t think of anything to make with it. Any suggestions? I’m thinking maybe an ice cream plushie🍦
Saw this the other day, and thought it was a granny square maybe? But I couldn’t find a pattern and was wondering if someone would knlw
Hello! I am a teacher assistant for a introductory crochet class and we are making a granny square blanket for one of the staff at our school, each square being 6x6 inches. Someone submitted these, each varying between 7 and 11 inches. Some of them are random shapes sewn together. I want them to feel like included in the class, but I don’t know how to even get them to the right shape or make it less conspicuous compared to the other (very neat) squares. Does anyone have any ideas? I think the yarn is mostly cotton. The stitches are slip-stitch I think.
Hi! I am currently trying to crotchet a bathing suit but I wanted the string to be a typical bathing suit string instead of crotchet yarn. Any tips on how to crotchet a bathing suit string such as spandex string onto yarn for a bathing suit?
I need to make a custom dog plushie and the dog is kind of 2 different colors and I need help finding a bulky chenille yarn that would look the closest to the dogs fur color. Any other suggestions welcome also.
Hello! This is my first crochet project. I'm making this jellyfish, and I'm trying to add the frills, but I don't know how to attach the yarn to the round... Here's the pattern! https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/p/jellyfish-crochet-pattern-by-carolyne-brodie
I kinda feel like bottom left is a bit too bright compared to the rest. I juat need a different point of view. Also it's my first time making a sweater. I googles how many for a M/L, is that true?
Hi guys! recently I've been trying to do some pouches but they are not very sturdy as the video seems and I'm following all the instructions, in general I feel like all my proyects are too soft and the structure is not too hard? I don't know if this makes sense please help

I am working on a sweater and have finished the pattern that I was working from. I want to do some modifications to the item with sewing to help improve the fit. I'm currently planning to sew the corners of the neck together to create more of a boat neck than an enormous rectangle, and I think to make it feel more fitted it needs a pleat/s in the back.
I'm not sure this is the right path to go down though, any suggestions on making it less baggy from the top down? Would it look better if I sewed the pleats under instead of over? Or put in multiple gathered pleats going to one side? Looking for sewing tutorials gives me ideas of what it could look like but I'm not sure what's likely to help me get the fit I want here.
It's obviously still gonna be big, just wanted to try to make it something I'd be more comfortable wearing out if possible. The link below has my project details and the last pics are of the current version I have been working with.

Hey all! I started crocheting a few days ago and have bought some hooks and yarn. I’ve figured out how to make a slip knot but I’m working on my first chain and I can’t seem to get it to work. I have fairly large hands so I decided to go with the biggest hook I have (9mm) and whilst it feels more natural, the yarn seems to twist even when I dedicate all of my focus to holding it. Any advice would be great
