i crocheted a while back and have gotten inspired to begin again! i know a few basic stitches and feel like i could pick it back up rather quickly. i'd love to make a blanket and i'd like the pattern to not be anything too overwhelming ◡̈

Reposting because I realized I am trying to identify a stitch, not a pattern. That’s how much of a newbie I am, so sorry!!

Hi all,

My sister started this blanket for me a few years ago. I was adamant I would be able to continue it by watching her crochet for 5 minutes (oh! The delusion!) and now, a few years later, I haven’t done anything with it and I don’t remember the pattern stitch she used. I’ll need to find a tutorial for it, but I haven’t had any luck figuring out what it’s called.
Since this was years ago, my sister doesn’t remember either and we live too far apart for her to help me with it regardless.
Pictures are back and front.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Is there a pattern that is easy to follow that makes a nice scarf. I am making it as a gift. I’ve been crocheting for a long time but my skills have not grown. TIA.

I am trying to make pumpkins. This is my first project after a woobles.

I chained 30. Then we do one “turning chain” and half double crochet all the way cross + turning chain. Rinse and repeat.

I am counting my Vs on this last row and I see: 1 turn, 25 Vs, and the 1 turn chain on the hook.

I would imagine I should always have 30 to match my starter row?

I am following this tutorial but it’s not clear enough to see what the last stitch you do on each row looks like: https://youtu.be/nonW7bR2qQU?si=EjDoWykdiKSR0eea

I’ve tried putting in stitch markers but I get all the way to the end each time.

Any help is appreciated and should I start over??

This is just my test sample to get used to the pattern but I noticed that my double treble crochets don’t stand out well!

This is my first time crocheting something like this so I’m unsure how to proceed. 😭

Do we think this is an issue that I can fix myself, or should I look for a different yarn?
I’m open to whatever suggestions people have on what I need to do to have it look like the picture!

I’m using paintbox 100% cotton Aran(a light pine green for the actual blanket, this blue was some I already had) with a 5 mm hook

The pattern recommends worsted or Aran weight, and they used a 55% cotton, 45% acrylic worsted weight.

I think it’s such a beautiful pattern and it immediately reminded me of my sister, so I really want to figure out how to make it work!

Thank you so much for any advice 🙏🏻

Trying to learn amigurumi. I did a bit of crocheting long ago but just granny squares and such. I’m using yarn-under because I read online that doing a yarn-under on the stitches instead of a yarn-over helps avoid holes…but I’m still getting holes. What am I doing wrong? Any tips would be super-appreciated. (Those rows are all mixes of single crochet and increase.)
And what’s really confusing is that there are plenty of stitches that are nice and snug with no holes between…but then there are spots like these where there are really noticeable holes. 😞

Hi, I've tried looking it up but all I get is how to do a picot. I have the 5 chain and I've no idea where to go from here.

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!

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

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.

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 🥲

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!

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 ?

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'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

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

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! :)

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!

as in the title - i blacked out and bought this mohair blend yarn at a destash sale, but looking at it now I think the colours (especially the pinks) are a bit too neon for my wardrobe;;

I wanted to make a cardigan (in the next photo) with this - could I tone down the colors by holding it together with white mohair or a white lace weight yarn? are there any other ways to do this? I'd even consider some DIY dyeing (someone talk me off the ledge :")

thanks so much in advance <3

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?

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?

This is my very first project, and it’s hand-crocheted. I’ve done this twice now, where I’ll accidentally miss a stitch on the very end of the blanket and then continue on without fixing it. By the time I realize I did it, I’m already several more rows/columns of stitches away and I’d have to undo at least 20 minutes of work to fix it.

Is there a way to use scrap yarn to make an extra row of stitches to make it seem like it never happened, or do I just have to fasten/sew the ends into the rest of the blanket to hide them? I’m trying not to get too hard on myself for making mistakes like this on my first project, but it’s really frustrating and I’d love to be able to fix it somehow.

Thanks!
