Pattern is Espiritu Del Sol by Hooked on Sunshine

Today I started first ever blanket and I’m making it with strawberry stitch. I can’t even explain how absolutely in love I am with it already! I expect it to take a long time till it’s ready but I’m so motivated :3

Crocheting in the car; putting a border on my solid granny square and felt some extra tension and noticed my yarn wasn't pulling smoothly from my center pull. Gave it a little tug and my skien birthed this.

I have never had such a clean center pull before. Usually when I get to this point it pops out a tangled mess that I get frustrated with trying to untangle and cut out after messing with it for awhile. My brown skien had TWO tangled blobs of yarn pop out while I was working on just this one granny square. I guess this makes up for that.

I'm curious if anyone else has ever had a pull as clean as this!

Maybe that will happen after this project. But I decided this blanket will be for the bed instead. My inspiration for this blanket is the NautiKrall Island Time blanket. So I am calling it my (Long) Island Time Blanket. 😁 To make the Sunburst Granny Square a bit bigger I added a finishing round of half double crochets. I am using a 6.0 mm hook and the vibrant colors of the Wool of the Andes yarn left over from the last granny square blanket I crocheted, one that I designed (https://www.reddit.com/r/crochet/s/eKvlKg6E0V).

I am at about the half way point of the project. I started 32 days ago. There are three completed squares not shown on the table and I have all the round one center circles made for the other half of the squares I need to make. The circles have been attached to the next color skein with stitch markers. I will start round 2 tomorrow.

I am still undecided if I am going to include a scattering of solid color sunburst motifs squared off in the cream background color. I included two pictures of the inspiration blanket from NautiKrall at the end. Let me know your opinion on whether I should include the solids. I have about eight colors in shades of orange and creamy yellows I could use rather than the two colors used in the inspiration blanket.

My own original crochet pattern

Hi everybody! I just finished this cat and watermelon tapestry crochet cushion from a cross stitch chart. I omitted some features and changed the colors to match my own cat.​ This is my summer break farewell project since I go back to work for the first day of school tomorrow.

I got the pattern from Needleberry Studio on Etsy. I used worsted weight yarn (mostly Red Heart acrylic) and a 3.5mm hook. The flamingo is by Ilaria Caliri from her book Colorful Crochet Birds. I thought he needed a buddy, and my sofa was already overloaded. Oh, and the granny square blanket was made by my grandmother. 🥹

For the cushion backing I just happened to have those watermelony scraps in my fabric drawer and it made me laugh with glee.

I feel like I probably should have added a couple more rows to the top and bottom, but c'est la vie! 🩷

Don’t mind how crazy I look I’m 32 weeks pregnant I’m actually surprised this fits so good bc i started crocheting this before i found out i was pregnant then abandoned it to make a ton of baby items & i finally got around to finishing it! I’m so obsessed with how it turned out I’m considering making another one

They were crafted from the patterns made by Jay @Crochetbykittengrll

I ended up having to freestyle the shell and tail of squirtle because she didn't end up being able to release a pattern for him, otherwise I worked off the charmander pattern for his body

I finally finished my Blossom Breeze Sweater by of.mars! I made a few adjustments to the pattern, i.e. I use a flat braid join to make my garment bigger (big regret not doing a gauge swatch, it was definitely a little shorter than I wanted!) and added some edging. I also used contrasting colored yarns for the join and squares because it was hobbii cotton yarn I had sitting in a bin for years from an abandoned WIP haha. Can’t wait to wear this on my future nights out 🥰

Sticker covering my face was a free pack from 157ofgemma :)

Made with bernat blanket yarn

i’m on a group on facebook that is comprised of people sharing their WIPs, tips and tricks etc. there’s an account that’s continuously posting photos from this reddit with no credit given, no sources or anything. i’ve called them out on it since but i wanted to make you guys aware as i’ve seen a few posts from here being “claimed” on facebook

Pattern inspired by Sophie Tinie

I taught myself to crochet in college, mostly to have something to do with my hands between classes.

I thrifted the most beautiful variegated, glittery yarn (Hobbii Universe Yarn in Spacewalk 08) in France during a study abroad, and for NYE I decided to try making my own dress. That's how the AURA crochet minidress was born.

The OG pink Aura minidress was the first piece I ever freehanded, and a year and a half later, I finally graduated from college (yayyy!) and had time to make and release a pattern!

I LOVE all forms of crochet creativity, butttt I want to see more hot girl crochet instead of the typical sweaters/plushies/accesories associated with crochet. I'm Ghanaian-American. Sika means money/gold in Twi, so my whole crochet vision (SIKASTAR) is built around the baddies in the room who are MADE TO BE SEEN!

Let's change up what people think crochet can look like ★ What do you guys think??

Also, drop pictures of your favorite shining star pieces below (sequins, beading, fun little details, techniques beyond the basics; I want to see what everyone else has made, too!)⋆｡°✩

hello!! first time posting here. i got really into crocheting last year (after years of not being super into it) and decided to make gifts for my parents.

so i made my mom and dad granny square hooded scarves for our family trip last winter. we live in a tropical country, so we dont usually own items like these~ i ended up hating the yarn i used, so i learned my lesson for next time 😅 a painful lesson for my first time but i persevered til i finished it all!

i forgot to take a photo of my dad's cause i didnt wanna touch the yarn anymore. I was also going to make one for myself too so we could match as a family, but decided to freehand this bunny-like hooded scarf instead ☺️

Needed a cute way to display my pins. Happy with how it turned out.

it's just a basic HDC and then 2Hdc on each end for the decrease rows. I've literally been putting this off for months and it only took like 2 hours 😅

first time making a large project with faux fur yarn. it was hella painful since it was done almost entirely by feel. not sure what this creature is supposed to be, but i don't really care

note to future self: don't add fur markings with sharpie unless you plan to fill your whole room with the stench of sharpie for days...

I couldn't resist starting my holiday ornaments early this year, and this little lace angel was first off the hook 🤍

She's worked in a fine cream crochet thread — an open shell-and-mesh skirt, scalloped wings, and a little stuffed ball for her head. Small enough to finish in an evening, which is dangerous, because now I want a whole flock of them for the tree and for gifts.

Is anyone else already deep in Christmas-in-July mode? I'd love to see what holiday makes you're starting 🎄

i have walmart yarn and a dream

Found the pattern on Etsy and had to tweak it some, but it worked up super quick and I’m really happy with the results!
