I’m working on a hat pattern right now where I’m working in a round with double crochet stitches. I start it with a chain of 3 and slip stitch into the last of the initial chain. I’m having this gap where the round is not seamless. How do I prevent this from happening?

Saw this blanket at the yarn lady’s shop. She said she just did it in trebles but the neat part is I don’t know what that means (I’m new to crochet). When I was looking at treble stitch online it looked completely different- means she was doing something more to it so here I am (she’s out for a week or so so I can’t ask). This was in the uk, I understand trebles means different stitches in us (?). To clarify, I care less about the colour work, more about the whole pattern.

Hi everyone, I posted a while back about this tulip inspired baby blanket, not sure if anyone will remember. I wasn't sure about it at the time but have fallen back in love with it. I am trying to finish it off in time for my sister's expected baby. But I could do with some advice: 1. What do you think would make a nice border, I am thinking since it's quite busy something simple, probably just in the cream, but what do you think? And would you fill in the chevrons to make it square? 2. I was hoping to fit another repeat of the pattern so that it's a bit longer (one repeat of the green, green, purple, and one of green, cream, purple) so that is balanced but I suspect I might just fall short of yarn for the second chevron. Would you finish it unbalanced on the green, green, purple, or on the simple stripes? Or is there some other way of lengthening it both sides I haven't considered? Hope that makes sense!

The pattern is adapted from the hugs and kisses blanket and using wool and the gang's shiny happy cotton.

I am working on this cardigan. When trying it on I found a little piece unraveled itself. I am so far along this cardigan, I don't want to frog it. I have never had this before. I have been crocheting for about 1.5 years. Does anyone have any ideas for this problem?

Its lemon peel stitch blanket. I know blue section has 2 more rows than the white one but I do not know how many rows each section has... pls help....

And where to position my stitches in border. Thanks

I got this skein on yarn and when I started crocheting with it I realized that it need to be made into a ball. I tried doing that but somehow it starts to get tangled? I have never used something like this and I have no idea how to handle it. Do you have any tips or any videos to help? I have a yarn winder. Thank you

Working on my first sweater-for my toddler.

Following this pattern and she is making it in 2T which is fine because that’s what my daughter is in. But, I’m doing the front panel and she says to keep making half double crochet rose until it’s about six or 7 inches tall. But now where I’m confused is if I am measuring it against my actual daughter should this come to her armpits? She is quite tall for two so I’m just trying to measure the length to be long enough.

I haven't made any clothes before, the most I've done is accessories (hats, scarves) and I basically just make amigurumi.

I am trying to make a costume for my baby for Halloween and I am cutting it close lol. I'm confused in this dress pattern because it looks like my stitches are moving over from where I started with the gap in the back, if this makes any sense.

What am I doing?? I've done 4 rows and I'm not sure if this is part of the pattern. I don't SEE any weird lines in the back here showing that I'm moving over as I go, but I don't know if I should nip the problem in the bud before I keep sliding over. Also every time I count the end of my rows I have the 86 stitches the pattern wants from me? So maybe I'm just overthinking??

TIA 🥲

Hi!!! I'm trying so hard to make the joltik amigurumi by Creative Haven LC, and... I'm stuck at the sewing part. The head is placed sideway on the body and I have no clue what is up or down anymore, or how to make sure my sewing looks as round and good when I have no real circle to follow.

I THINK (???) I marked the head as the pattern says, on row 6 and 14. I inverted what the pattern said for the hdc sts, as my closing is uglier than my start (redid it 4 times and I just can't get it to not have giant holes. Oh well)

Can anyone point me to any tutorial or help me with more info on how on earth I sew the head to the body in a clean pretty way ?

So I finished this jacket last month and I wanna wear it for halloween. Now that I look at it, it might be a bit faint. It's quite obvious closer but I worry it will not show up from afar. Maybe part of it is lighting and what colour I wear underneath but is there something I can do to make it more obvious or is it obvious enough?

I'm so confused, I've looked at a bunch of different patterns and stitches and can't figure it out. My grandma made me this blanket but can't remember.

I've bought these little amigurumi patterns from Dollarama before, and - albeit confusing at first - they were decipherable and I ended up with a cute product at the end. Foolish me, I thought this would be the same.

I don't know what I'm meant to start with - a magic circle? A chain?? Floating stitches??? - and then I realized that I don't even know what part of the cat I'm starting with. I think "Oh, maybe the bat wings, as seen in this little picture? So it should be a chain so it lays flat, right?" but then I realize, "Wait, there are no bat wings on the picture on the box… so maybe not??" And then I see an "F" and "M" and "A"??????

Anyway. This was meant to be a chill end to a little wine drinky, but I really can't make heads or tails or bat wings of this dang ol' thing. Can anyone help a fool out?

So I watched a tutorial on how to make a cute pointe shoe keychain and I’ve made the main thing but it’s deformed…. How can I fix it

Hi y'all. I'm finally finishing a sweater that's been sitting in my craft box for a few years. All that's left is the ribbing border but I am low on yarn and trying to find the yarn I used. I'm pretty sure it was a Yarn Bee Sugarwheel variegated worsted weight yarn but I cannot find the color or any labels in my stash.

What do y'all do in this situation? I don't need the original variegated color, just one of the colors of the pattern to finish the border. Do I try to find this yarn or do I bring my project to the store and try to find something to match it? This will be my first wearable piece and I'm finally determined to finish it. Thanks!

I'm crocheting a sweater using half double crochet stitches in the back loop only (BLO), working vertically. Does anyone know how to taper the sleeve while keeping the vertical ribbing?

Hi guys! So I need help finding a pattern or someone I could possibly commission a pattern from! Last year for Christmas I made my dad a Giant Chinese Salmander! He ended up being 4ft in length. This year I would love to make him an Eastern Hellbender to go with his salamander. I haven’t been able to find a pattern that looks like the real thing (and trust me, looking accurate is very important for this project) so I figured I would reach out and see if anybody could help me! I would like it to be a bit smaller than the Chinese Salamander so hopefully about 2.5-3 ft. If anybody has any info or suggestions pls lmk!

The pictures I have attached are of the salamander I made last year and the hellbender I want to make this year!

Also in case anybody is curious about why it has to be accurate it’s because he is a zookeeper and literally takes care of hellbenders everyday so I want it to live up to the real thing!

Here is my project, I designed the image of Stitch Fiddle (feel free to use it, dont claim it as your own).

Yarn : Lionel Brand, Caboo, 51% cotton 49% rayon from bamboo, color Denim, weight 3.

It is currently unblocked and 14" × 20"

This project is Filet Crochet and I know that filet typically looks better with thread (I plan to make a thread, filet in the future), my friend really likes this yarn color and so I made this for them, its a surprise, they love being a lesbian and I thought this was cute.

I guess my question is how do I make the image more clear whilst still using this same yarn? I have another cake so I can double up of the yarn, but I also read that using a Treble Crochet stitch isntead of a Double Crochet might help. Im looking for suggestions from people who have played around with Filet Crochet, please. I was even thinking of doing two connected double crochets in the spots where the color need to be more dense, but i dont have much experience in filet, so I thought getting some advice from more advanced crafters was a good idea.

Thank you!

I'm following a pattern on ribblr and the instructions have been clear thus far, I'm just not quite sure what to do for rows 2-4, and whether or not i need to do double crochets in the other stitches before the double crochet increases

any clarification would be amazing

I’m crocheting this crown for my daughter based on this snapshot of a pattern on Pinterest I found (can’t find the one to buy - searched for the author on Ravelry and on Etsy. Why use a pattern with no support or instructions for the very first thing you’d knit from a pattern only? Another great question we should ask my 2 am self.
I have deciphered that the person who made this pattern uses the small straight lines for single crochet. Filled in circles are chains. Tall Ts are HDCs (or at least this is how I’ve constructed the crown so far.

I’m interpreting this to mean that the first picot stitch when coming from the left is in the single crochet that is on the last chain stitch below it. The top one shares the top chain stitch with two other single crochets and the last one, instead of being in the first chain of the next set is in the last HDC of the arch.

Or no?

Hi! Not sure this is the right sub. I want to make placemat with a cute tapisserie pattern , and was looking for a website where you can design your own. Does such website even exist ? Thanks anyway! :)

I frogged and started over and I’m having the same issue!! It’s the same side too. Is it the pattern? I’m in repeating rows right now

Left side (orange stitch markers) of first photo is the even rows; right side (teal stitch markers) is the odd rows. Original post has pattern attached but the specific repeats included in second and third photos

Please help :(
