I am on day 3 of the 6 day star blanket. I am conflicted on continuing because of the rippled center; should I start anew? Any tips or notes would be wonderful. I’m so excited to have found this subreddit! 🪝🧶

Does adding a border get the corners to stop curling or do I need to block for that effect and then add the border?

Hello I am looking for Zpagetti Tshirt yarn by Hooked in the GTA for a reasonable price, I can barely find it anywhere and if it is sold they retail for at least double the price about(25CAD), and online even with reasonable pricing shipping is still 30 dollars.

Please let me know if anyone knows any local shops that have reasonable prices!

Hello, everyone.

I've been crocheting for a few years on and off and I mostly learned from tutorials on the internet. I usually use whatever I have on hand or can afford which is mostly acrylic. For the basic projects I've made (hats and scarves for cold weather) it's been fine but I want to explore making shawls and amigurumi and other stuff that can be used/worn all-year-round especially in hot weather. I was thinking of getting some cotton yarn which is a little more expensive than basic acrylic but not too much (nothing so fancy). But I'm wondering how much it would affect the final product and if it would be worth the extra cost.

My main concerns for my future projects are:

• breathability: especially for the shawls; I live in tropical weather and I want them to be more of a spring/summer shawl
• weight: I don't want it to be too heavy
• washability: easier is better; if I can throw it in the washer, I'm happy
• durability: will stand the test of time; no stretching/shrinking
• eco-impact: trying to be more eco-friendly/eco-aware
• quality: nice and soft, looks nice and feels nice

Basically, if I use cotton yarn, will I notice the project being a lot better, or is it okay for me to just continue using acrylic for anything and everything? I eventually want to make more stuff like tops, non-winter hats, coasters, decorative items and so on.

Thank you in advance for your opinions!

i just started crocheting, i’m doing a half-double stitch and im currently trying to make a blanket, i’m on my 2nd row (first after chain) and some spots are starting to curve and the whole thing is twisting when I hold it up, is it normal for that or am i doing it too tight? should I just keep going and it’ll even out or should I redo it?

I am doing my first mosaic crochet blanket, the first 3 rows look good and the green dcs on row 3 are covering row 2 white good. but why are the white dcs on row 4 not fully covering the previous rows? is it the tension?

I am looking for a pattern similar to this one. My R grandmother wants this as a sort of queen size throw blanket. I've tried repeating the pattern but it becomes misshapen. Does anyone know of/have a pattern similar? Or any suggestions to repeat the pattern without it losing shape? lam using Big twist favorite cotton Color: soft white Gauge: 4 medium She requested this yarn.

So I have a pattern that is all DC. Every x amount of stitches, you make a v-stitch. I have to do this 3 times each row. It’s supposed to increase by 6 stitches every row.

So if, when you get to the next v-stitch, which is DC, ch1, DC, do the same thing in the ch1 space, how is it increasing the stitch count by 2? There are 3 stitches in the “V” and I’m only going into the ch1 space and making another “V” with 3 stitches.

To make my life easier, I made a FDC of 35 (instead of a chain of 37, then skip first 2 chains and make a DC.) My first row, I got 41 stitches, so yay, so far so good.

My next row, I should have 47, but I only got 44 stitches 🤷‍♀️, but that’s not what’s supposed to happen.

What am I doing wrong? Please help

Hand for reference

I am trying to crochet a beanie for myself but am having an enormously hard time lol and the third time wasn’t the charm so here I am. The second one turned out nicely but would be way too small for my noggin (the pattern said “adult” sized) and the second pattern I tried/third beanie overall was turning out crazy big. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? I’m counting correctly I promise!

Hi all! I’m so stuck on how I’m supposed to sew together these shoulder panels. I emailed the author of the pattern and I’m still confused. Attached are my two panels. I’m just so lost. The circled part is what the shoulders are. It’s listed as shoulders and collar in the pattern and the author clarified that what I’ve circled is the shoulders. On top is the front panel and below is the back. Both have WS facing each other

This honestly makes no sense to me. All the other sweaters I’ve done haven’t had the shoulders like this so I’m very lost

Please help!

My wife is getting back into crochet after taking a break, and is having trouble remembering the stitch for this work in progress.

She says it is a moss stitch, but from attempts so far it isn’t a single or double stitch. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi! This is one of my first blankets. It’s a granny stripe. Im adding a scalloped boarder. I’m not sure what color though. I feel like the white makes it look incomplete, the (original in blanket) blue would be too much, but the denim blue wouldn’t match at all. Please help! The more I look at it, I hate all the colors. 😅 should I go for a different color all together?

I very badly want to make this dress! But I am unable to figure it out on my own. I believe the top part it something similar to filet crochet? But the middle and bottom part I am stumped on how to do it or what to look up. Could anyone help me with what stitches I could look up, or written instructions?

What’s a good use for this pattern other than granny squares ? I don’t like the square cause I feel like it’s gapey like idk what I’d use these squares for ? If that makes sense idk just not really a fan of how the actual squares have turned out and still want to be able to use yarn

The mouth looks wonkier irl

Of course the one reference picture my niece sends me isn't for a pattern but for an already made blanket.

I haven't seen the raised stich before and cannot figure out what it is. And are the other stiches sc or dc, or are they even taller than that?

Would like an easy enough pattern that will work up reasonably quickly. Would like it to be a bit bubbly but not overboard. Have a single crochet in white/grey before it that I haven’t counted so it would be great to have it work with that. The outer will be blue.

Made the blanket without a pattern so trying to put it all together and this is the last step.

Typically I don't like yarns with spots or bits interspersed, I prefer ombre or solids. But this one stuck out at me. I'm most comfortable making flat projects and haven't made clothes yet (except a scarf) but might be willing to consider a hat. Definitely carnival vibes. Ideas?

Prefer video to written patterns but will look at everything, free is bonus 👍

i'm working on a hat with a repeating skull pattern, in the round with hdc, but the skulls get more tilted with every row that i do? i've just been doing hdc's only, no slip stitches or chains at the start of each row, beause i feel like that might mess up with the pixel grid pattern.. but should i try that instead to fix this?? i am freehanding this and the only pattern that i'm following is the pixel grid that i found from pinterest. ty!

wip of hat

When I do decrease stitches in rows they tend to stretch like this. How do I prevent this?
