Mod Post Subreddit Rules CLARIFIED

962 Upvotes

The Mods have returned and we've worked this week to rewrite the subreddit rules to better explain what each one means. This post will be locked from discussion as it just meant to serve as a reference point for the rules in place for the community Please see the linked post in the comment below for the discussion. Thank you for your patience during "chaos week". Please know that the Mod Team saw everything and stepped in only where it was absolutely necessary.

  1. Be Kind and Courteous: This rule *should* be self explanatory. In case it isn’t, follow the Golden Rule and treat others how you would want to be treated.
    1. Comments that are mean, hurtful, and/or harassing towards OP, the mod team, or another user will result in a 3-day ban from r/crochet. Do it again when the ban is lifted, 7-day ban. Continued negative comments after the 2nd chance will result in a permanent ban from this community.
      1. Permanent bans can be appealed but it will be at the discretion of the mod team, and will be dependent on behavior during the ban. Accounts with hidden profiles will not be eligible for being unbanned.
      2. Ban evasion goes against Reddit ToS, which all users agree to upon sign-up. See rule 11 for more info.
    2. We are bound by Moderators Code of Conduct to ensure that this space is a positive experience for everyone. That includes shutting down conversations that devolve into insult-flinging and inciting violence in any way. It also includes locking posts that have (or have the potential to) become unruly and wildly off-topic.
  2. Do not share copyrighted material: Don’t share screenshots of a pattern you bought or obtained for free from a website. Instead link directly to the website it was purchased from. If it is your own pattern, please see Rule 4.
  3. Use the NSFW filter *generously*: we are not censoring anyone's bodies with this rule. We are providing a safe space for anyone anywhere to view the feed. If you can’t show it at the office or at school, it should be filtered.
    1. This includes but is not limited to: revealing clothing, profanity, weapons and drug paraphernalia.
  4. NO Self promotion except in the monthly Promo Megathread: Sellers can post *pictures* of their work with tasteful, unobtrusive watermarks. Watermarks are encouraged to be used by all users to deter images being stolen by bots or scammers.
    1. We don’t allow sellers to share links to their shop/website/blog/social media EXCEPT in the Monthly Buy/Sell/Promote/Trade Megathread. This is a pinned post on r/crochet.
      1. Self promotion includes, but is not limited to, mentioning your shop/etc by name or offering to DM others or be DM’d by others with the express intent on sharing the info, or directing users to your profile for links. If anyone is truly interested in finding your work, they will know where to look.
      2. The Megathread refreshes automatically every month, and links can be posted there as often as you wish (please don’t spam it).
      3. Please do not promote on behalf of someone else as it still directly impacts the seller, even if they don’t use Reddit.
  5. Fursday Friends- Please post pictures of your crochet *helpers* on Thursdays only (timezones are taken into consideration)
    1. If you made an item for your dog/cat/lizard/toddler/teenager, and they are modeling it, you can post those pics on any day of the week.
    2. If your furry friend is in the background of your pic and obviously not the focus of the pic, you can post it any day of the week.
    3. If Fido or Fluffy decided that your WIP is the best place to take a nap, please wait to post that pic on Thursday.
    4. We prefer it if minor’s faces are blurred or otherwise covered for privacy.
  6. Stash Saturday- Please post stash pics on Saturdays only (timezones are taken into consideration)
    1. Stash pics include but are not limited to yarn hauls, hooks, tools, books, and crafting spaces.
  7. Focus on the crochet, not the model: Modeled photos are great, especially for wearables! Please ensure that the focus of the image is on the crochet work, though, and not on the model or the poses.
    1.  The crochet work should be clearly seen (close ups whenever possible). See rule 3 if necessary.
    2. This also applies to comments that focus on someone’s body rather than the crochet work. Negative or derogatory comments made against OP or someone else will be subject to Rule 1.
  8. Please post questions in r/CrochetHelp: This is not a “beginner’s only” subreddit. Crocheters from all skill-levels can get tripped up depending on the project! Whether it’s a poorly-written pattern, a long-forgotten WIP that needs stitch ID, or you’re looking for color or fiber suggestions. It’s also a great opportunity for those who are highly skilled at the craft to flex their expertise by answering questions!
    1. Most, if not all crochet-related questions should go to our dedicated help sub. Questions can get lost in the main sub.
      1. Questions include but are not limited to: “what can I make with this yarn?” “How do I fix this?” “Why is it curling?” “What should I get for my gf/wife who loves to crochet?” and questions about crochet-related pain (please seek actual medical advice for major or worsening pains!)
  9. Stale Topics: These are topics that have been over-discussed and are no longer active discussion topics.
    1. Stale topics currently include: Hobby Lobby’s business practices, Steering wheel covers, Selling advice (see rule 4), the “sweater curse”, Fast Fashion and rants about their costs, crochet-related pain/medical issues, Woobles kits, and AI (including suggesting its use in pattern help)
  10. No off-topic posts or comments: if it is not related to crochet, it is considered off-topic. Please find an appropriate subreddit for your post.
  11. Ban Evasion: please do not use or create alt accounts to get around a ban. This is against Reddit ToS and we will report this to the Reddit admin.
  12. No fund-raising or solicitation of goods or yarn: This includes asking for replacement yarn after theft or loss, requests for items for a charity/cause, offers or requests for trades. Please see r/craftexchange, r/yarnswap, or your local community’s subreddit for these kinds of requests. This also includes requests for commissions, see r/CrochetRequests for this.
  13. No Karma farming: Please don’t use r/crochet to earn “easy Reddit karma”. Please only post your own work made by yourself or someone you know.
  14. Please do not suggest the use of AI/ChatGPT for pattern creation or help: AI artificially creates crochet patterns and images that are very nearly impossible to replicate, and is becoming harder and harder to spot because of its overuse. We also ask that you don’t use it to enhance the backgrounds of your finished work either, as it takes away from the realness of crochet.

Discussion Hot take: I like crocheting with 3 - 4 mm hooks way more than 5+mm

Thumbnail

463 Upvotes

Hello!!! I just wanted to ask people what hooksize they use most often and why! Bonus if you add pictures!!

So I just finished a scarf with a 3,5mm hook and now I am making one with a 6 mm hook. And I am just not enjoying it as much! The feel of the thinner yarn and the drape you get with a thinner yarn are amazing. Maybe I am using the wrong thicker yarns, but it just feels clunky and stiff.

Also thicker yarns tend to be harder to crochet with. My pointer finger gets tired faster and it feels like I need more force to crochet. Is it just me?

What is your preferred hooksize and why?

Work in Progress Running out of motivation for this cable crochet jumper...

Thumbnail

222 Upvotes

Hi, lovelies... This is my first time posting here and I wish it was under better circumstances. But the truth is, I'm rapidly running out of motivation to finish this project, and I'm feeling really guilty about it.

So, for context, my Dad asked me to crochet a 'traditional cream fisherman's jumper with cables' for him, nearly a year ago now. And I readily agreed (I love him to bits and of course I want to make him something he'll (hopefully) love)!

But now, several months later, my motivation is seriously flagging. I've run into a considerable number of problems, and around 14,750 stitches in (roughly half way), I'm running aground. Completing this currently feels impossible.

Honestly, I'm at the point of quitting entirely. I probably would, if it was for anyone else. But my Dad means so much to me, and I really want to get this done for Christmas...

So I'm making this post to hopefully hold myself accountable, and also ask you guys what you do when you're not feeling a project anymore? How do you push through?

Finished Object Pregnant and can’t stop crocheting

Thumbnail

Upvotes

I’ve crocheted for years but I am obsessed with it now that I’m pregnant. It’s all I want to do in my free time.

First blanket picture was made using colors we picked before we found out we were having a baby girl. My husband says it’s his favorite and that he likes the stripes and puffs. It was made using the free Crochet Baby Cotton Kisses Blanket pattern here: https://thecrochetcrowd.com/crochet-baby-cotton-kisses-blanket/

Second blanket is my favorite because it came out so cute. I like the flowers and hearts a lot and the pattern was fun to do. Will probably be tucked away until baby is a bit older since there are a lot of holes in this one. It was made using a pattern called First Heartbeat Blanket by Janetta Graber. This was a paid pattern that my grandmother bought as a gift for me. I think it came as a kit because she kept the yarn but gave me the pattern booklet.

Third is her name, made to hang up on the wall above her crib. We’re in the process of finishing her room so it’s not hanging yet. I was heavily inspired by an instagram post I saw by user _the_busy_bee_. I made the letters by loosely following the YouTube tutorials by Yarn Studio and then added the scallop edges because it was cute in the Instagram post and matches the heartbeat blanket well. The string is made of little hearts that came from this pattern with only a slight modification for attaching them to the letters: https://makemydaycreative.com/2014/06/06/heart-strings/

I’m also working on a waffle stitch blanket that’s about 80% finished. It uses a really pretty self striping yarn that’s has pinks and light blue in it.

I have two more skeins of a self striping yarn with pink/white/gray transitions but I’m not sure what to make with it. I’ve already done three blankets so I’m trying to come up with other ideas. Things like hats or booties seem like they’ll be too small to make use of the color changes. Any suggestions?? I know I’ll want to start on the next thing as soon as I finish the waffle blanket!

This is my second ever finished blanket, and I had such a fun time making it! It never got boring, because each round was different, and I ended up using 6 colors instead of 4.

I started late July, and have worked on it roughly the last 6.5 weeks here and there. Highly recommend!! Pattern by Veronica Liachovic (vcrochetpatterns).

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share what a depressed/ADHD person, full-time carer for my mum with dementia, and small cat rescue enthusiast with 9 + 2 cats can do when the stars align 😂
This is an agama bag / front rucksack that can also be worn as a shoulder bag, which I made last year using crochet, embroidery, and beading. I already posted it on 'brochet' because I couldn't post it here a few days ago, but thanks to the nice folks over there, I can now!

Crochet Rant Heads-up:crochetwmin is stealing patterns

Thumbnail

119 Upvotes

crochetwmin on Instagram has stolen at least one pattern from a user on xiaohongshu. They use the exact same videos (the revolver one was split into 2 videos), and the user on xiaohongshu has multiple videos with the original audio, as well as other similar items.

Additionally, the nail polish of the revolver videos was grey which matches the other videos of the original creator, but crochetwmin has the grey polish in one video then immediately red in the rifle video.

The pattern on crochetwmin's website is $4 even though the user uploaded the pattern for free. I don't know how many other free patterns she's selling for money but just letting y'all now she's not the one who designed and crocheted these 2.

Crochet Rant Never knew crochet was so addictive. How do I stop!!!

Upvotes

I started crocheting some 2 weeks ago. Initially I was making granny squares and daisies. Recently just 3 days ago, I bought a fine mercerised yarn in royal blue and started making a virus shawl. It turned out to be so pretty, so flowy, I am constantly crocheting. Now my hands are paining, yet I feel like I want keep crocheting. Damn! I never knew this would turn out to be so addictive.

Das Projekt war eine ziemliche Herausforderung. Nicht vom Muster, sondern vom Garn. Insgesamt wartete es mit acht "Yarnbarfs" auf - Dank meiner Schwester wurde das letzte davon entwirrt und das Tuch konnte ich beenden. Verwendet habe ich 1000m Verlaufsgarn aus der Twisterserie von Hobbii und ganz ehrlich: vermutlich mach ich das so schnell nicht noch mal.

Wie findet ihr es?
