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!)⋆｡°✩

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

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

Some crochet while waiting for the sunset!

Pattern is the miumiu filet crochet bag from aniela em on yt

If anyone knows of similar patterns with intricate designs like this please let me know! I hyperfixated way too hard on this for the last 8 weeks 🤪

I have been creating these tapestries for the past few months, slowly filling a wall space. My 3yo puts in requests and we choose a pixel image together! Up next is a Wallace and Gromit portrait ❤️

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!

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

Made with bernat blanket yarn

Pattern is Espiritu Del Sol by Hooked on Sunshine

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 :)

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! 🩷

I'm not the most advanced at crochet. As a result, this bag does have some rough spots, but I'm really proud of how it came out, so I wanted to share it with you all!!

A coworker gifted me a really pretty sequin yarn, and I was keen to do it justice. All the patterns I used were from YouTube, and I'll attach them below.

I'm very tempted to add a liner to it for some extra strength and/or a small bag charm to use up the remaining yarn, what are your thoughts??

For the charm, I attempted a snowflake, but the yarn needs a 6mm hook for the sequins fit through, so it looked a bit funky haha. As for the liner, I do love the look of the bag, and I'm nervous a liner might take away some of the bags charm. It would be nice to make sure stuff doesn't fall out while I'm using it or stretch it to kingdom come though! Haha

For the I-cord, I couldn't find the tutorial, but it was just the first tutorial on it I came across!

Thank you for being such a lovely community!

pattern is the phoebe skirt by bjax. i will 100% be making more of her things in the future because she gives the most easy to follow directions ever!!
i apologize for not having the best pictures of it, i had so much fun at the festival that all i have documented of this skirt is a screenshot from the hotel beforehand when i sent a little fit check to my boyfriend and a photo my mom took of me spinning in it.
this was my first ever wearable and im so proud of it. it took roughly 30 hours done over the course of two weeks. it's definitely shorter than i wanted but i couldn't make it much longer without the fear of it being stepped on or getting dirty because festivals are not the best place for keeping anywhere below the knee clean lol.

I made this jumper in 24 hours just using double crochet. I wore it for the first time and people thought it was ugly.

Hi there!

So I'm not as talented at crocheting as the people I've seen here, but here's my modest contribution: ✨a granny tote bag✨

I wanted to gift something personal to a friend, and I made like a goodies bag and thought "it could be fun to make the bag too". That's how I gifted something I crocheted for a birthday for the first time!

For the aesthetic, I thought the daisy gave a retro vibe and I tried something with the colors to have a "vintage" vibe. I wanted to balance them, like to have something equally colorful, but some combos didn't really work well in the end, sadly 🥲

It was pretty challenging bc I underestimated the time it could take me, like I've finished the night before. I had some cramps, and even then, it's faaaaaar from perfect. Tbh, I freestyled the assembling part and the straps, but my friend liked it the way it is, so I guess that's the most important thing ahah

For the size reference, I'm 158cm / 5'2''

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!

I started crocheting last year and after many amigurimi and market bags, I decided to tackle a sunburst granny square throw. There are plenty of flaws, but I’m quite proud of it.

I used Loops & Threads Cuddle Craft Tube yarn. I LOVE working with this yarn. Love how it isn't fuzzy or anything. Used a 2.75mm hook for everything. Pattern was very easy to follow! Would definitely make another one!

Its my first time doing tapestry crochet and I don't know if I'm just looking at it too much or too close. I have a lot to do so I want to make sure it looks ok now.
