How do I make it not flimsy?

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.

Substituting weight 4 for weight 3?

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?

Help with crochet directions plz!

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!

Ideas for being able to include this “granny” in a blanket

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.

Crotcheting Bathing Suit with Spandex String on Borders

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.

Finishing a sweater and need to do something to improve the fit...?

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.

Any tips on how to stop the yarn from twisting?

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
