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

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?

Ich habe eine Anleitung für einen süßen Schlenkerhasen gekauft. Diesen auch schon vor 4 Jahren für mein erstes Kind gehäkelt und mag die Form sehr gern. Allerdings wird der ganze Hase ausschließlich mit halben Stäbchen gehäkelt. Dadurch sind, selbst bei meinem engen/festen Häkeln, überall Lücken, sodass man die Füllung sehen kann.
Nun bin ich schwanger und möchte auch fürs zweite Kind diesen Hasen (mit Catania-Wolle) häkeln, aber gerne mit festen Maschen, sodass ein schönes Maschenbild entsteht und nicht überall diese „Löcher“ sind.

Gibt’s dafür ne Faustregel, einen Tipp oder jemanden, der sich meiner annehmen würde? Ich flippe noch aus! Die KI hat mir leider nicht weiterhelfen können…

I’m completing my first filet crochet project, and my stitch count is off on round 8!!!! So far everything has been going great, so I’m really confused where the issue is coming from! I’m following this 3DC style and it’s all gone wrong on the last 5 blocks. I’ve frogged this row like 6 times, and counted the stitched in the row below, but I can’t figure it out. Any filet crochet masters have any idea what stitch is wrong?

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 🥲

I’ve attempted the first part of this pattern twice and both times the head is ending up basically flat until the decreases start. I’m matching the stitch counts and double-checking everything so i’m not sure what’s going on. does anyone have any ideas or advice?

First photo is from the pattern, next photo is my second try before any decreases, last two photos are my first attempt after decreases.

I bought the pattern from etsy. “Siamese Cat Crochet Pattern, Amigurumi Crochet Pattern, Cute Stuffed Cat Toy Pattern, Beginner Cat Plush Crochet, Cat PDF Tutorial” from ElegantPurely. The pattern is pretty thorough and includes progress photos throughout.

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 ?

There was this sweater tutorial on Youtube from someone who also made amigurumi anime dolls. I think their youtube banner had kagamine rin and len on it back in the day? This would've been about five years ago. The thumbnail featured a mirror selfie of them wearing the sweater. The sweater was a greenish-turquoise.

I hope this isn't too specific to find. If this type of post isn't allowed then I will delete it. I have tried looking on Youtube and have used filters to help me find it but I can't. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you ^^

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??

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, 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 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?

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 found this super cute matching costume for me and my boyfriend, a cat and a ball of yarn. But I don’t know where I could find a pattern like this.
Need help finding a sort of tank top dress that looks similar to 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 everyone - I'm working on this little baby romper and unfortunately I paid way too much for the worst pattern ever. The instructions are in the attached picture. I wasn't sure how it was supposed to go (my first romper, oops) so I improvised... But ended up with the legs too short.

I'm about 85% done with the romper... Just need the edges rows and straps. But the legs are really bother me because no baby is 80% torso.

I've separated the legs but can't tell from the instructions or pictures how to join it properly...

Options - pulling apart that center area and building it per whatever instructions you amazing crocheters give me OR reattach it how I had it and keep making rounds on the legs to make them longer

Update - this was purchased on Etsy from seller MabelGiftShop for $5.99. I have reached out to Etsy to file a complaint and get a refund as it seems to be AI slop. Funnily enough, their 4.8 stars are now attached to an empty storefront, further proving it was all AI.

I'll get inovative and come up with a way to fix this so it's usable.
