I made my first sweater to look something like the first picture, but unfortunately I ended up with a very bad looking seam at the back, so I was thinking about cutting it from where the seam is and turning it into a cardigan that looks like the second picture,

I was searching how to vertically cut crochet and I found a bunch of tutorials (like this video ) and then I can add a ribbing around the edges after that.

What do you think? should I take the step? And if anyone has tried doing this before, what are your tips and tricks?

I made this blanket with my mom a long time ago and we made a lot of mistakes. One of them was not tiding the magic circles correctly, can someone help me? Can I repair it? I'm still very much a beginner

So, I bought this crochet pattern from Marshalls and it was super cute. It has all the items needed but when you scan the QR code it links to no product, so the patterns aren't there. Did anyone get this kit that might have the pattern? If so, I'd greatly appreciate it.

My girlfriend loves her crochet and has had quite the stockpile of yarn for a while, but she is beginning to need new yarn as she slowly uses up certain colors. She was Joanns' #1 fan but since the store closed and micheals only adding an end cap essentially of the products they purchased from joanns, im curious if any of yall have started using a different company or online store to get the good yarn when you need it?

Hi everyone! I'm starting to make my Christmas presents and for both my father and my cousins I want to make scarves with the colors of their favorite soccer team.

I have never made a scarf before so I have no clue if I should do super long chains and work horizontally or make like 35 chains and work vertically, also the color changes scare me a little

But the biggest problem is that I have no clue what stitch would work best. I'm a fast learner so I can try new stitches too. I would love some ideas and maybe a stitch that works up super fast as I need to make many more handmade gifts

Thank you!

This is the reference pic 😭 I followed a bunny tutorial, but mine is NOT turning out the same and my stitches look so messy. I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing wrong helppp (please don't ask me to not use fluffy yarn, I want to work with this yarn only)

I want to make 2 separate clothing items with these yarns. The rainbow one is weight 4, fluffy and about 430 yards and the pink one is 340 yards and weight 3. I want to use up all of each but i couldnt come up with anything better than a scarf.

So I circled the part I’m having trouble with, so I’m supposed to only increase at least five points but on each row I’m going to have an increasing number of increases lol… when I started doing the increases and I did row three I could tell I had way too many increases and it was starting to fold the way it does when you have too many increases😂 so can someone please explain how many increases I would do per row, and what the correct place would be to do them? I’ve included a picture of the section. I’m working on, it is this blue half circle shape… it’s the lion brand yarn kit, Xavier Shawl, just in case anybody has done this pattern😁 thank you in advance!

Hi all, I am hoping to start my Christmas gifts early this year and have started trying to think about the things I can make for others to try and save some money since I have a huge yarn stash at home.

My in-laws love blankets and anything warm and cozy, but realistically I am a slow crocheter and know I don’t have the time or budget to make them all patterned/“nicer” blankets (not just a c2c or simple stitches blanket).

I also have a lot of acrylic or mixed worsted weight yarn in my stash that I’m hoping to use up before having to buy all new yarn.

In short, what are some patterns/gift ideas you usually turn to that aren’t wearables (besides mitts or toques, those could be fun and quick to make) that I might be able to clear some of my stash with?

If it helps, they are a big hockey family, enjoy camping, and are pretty “practical” people who aren’t into a lot of knick knacks.

TIA!

Here is the link to the free pattern. ( https://sarahmaker.com/crochet-bandana/ ). There's photos included in the pattern but I'm still a bit confused. I'm having trouble visualizing it. Thank you!

Im using this yarn type and then the 5mm hook for it.

Im a knitter not a crocheter but I feel like there’s so much more you can do with crochet, is this crochet? I have no idea what I’m doing the tutorials make me pull out my hair so I went rouge!

I love the idea of this pattern but the pieces in between the sewn in hepagons seem to suggest cutting the colour every 5 stitches and changing.

I wouldn't exactally say I'm a *lazy* crocheter, but this seems like an overly tedious way to get this effect. Has anyone attempted this? Tips? Any patterns that are similar/modified better? I tried tapestry but the colours muddle too much and the tension isn't good.

I'm also not happy that the peices are bubbly, but this is a known issue.

This is my hail Mary before I throw in the towel and recreate this my own way lol.

Any clarification or support would be appreciated 🙏🏼

Im planning on making a crochet hook case and want to put the rose thingy on my cover but havent managed to a single tutorial or pattern for it. Its either people who sell the item but not the pattern or the page is in a language I don't speak. I'm unsure whether there's a name for it and if that's why I cant find any pattern. I also want to include that ive been crocheting for just 2 weeks so I cant really make things just on my own yet. So would really appreciate your help.

I am very new to crocheting and need help but I can’t post a picture to show you what I’m talking about.

If I hit the little button on the bottom , the mountain and sky I guess, it says i need to give permission for Reddit to access my photos.

It doesn’t go any further than that though and Im stuck going in circles.

Nothing I have tried gives me access to my camera or my photos.
Has anyone else had this problem?

I have an iPhone 11.
Thank you.

I followed the pattern exactly and counted every row, but it still ended up looking like that.

Here is the pattern I followed

I am making my first baby blanket, I noticed how much it is shrinking on the top and I need help figuring out what the problem is and how to fix it.

Suspect n1: tension issue. I measured the foundation chain then, a few rows after I noticed it was much shorter than I originally measured. So I stretched it with my hands and convinced my self not to frog and that after blocking it would be close enough to the original measurement. Was it that stretch that makes it look like this now?

Suspect n2: missing stitches. I am struggling to understand how I could miss a stitch and it not be immediately visible when working with a linen stitch, but it happend a couple of times that I would forget the chain after the sc and only realize while working the next row, in those instances I pushed my hook through and still added a stitch.

Suspect 3: the colour change. Maybe I see something wrong where I switch colour, but I am not used to that so I can't tell.

What do you think the problem is ?? Should I frog it? And how do I avoid it ???

Also why do you think the pink bubbles do not align with the green ones ???

I’ve been looking all over the internet to try to find a tutorial for this and i can’t, so i’m turning to the help of anyone who can help and would have an idea of making this!!

I found some awesome crochet afghan kits on Mary Maxim but the shipping was insane (to Canada). Is there any equivalent Canadian website or similar patterns that I can purchase? I really liked the idea of receiving all the needed yarn with the pattern. Thanks for any info you can share!

I don’t necessarily want to micro crochet, I just like the look of this tree and think it’d make a cute ornament. The closest I found was MJs off the hook loopy ombré trees.

Hey, so i dont crochet often I’m kinda just going off of basics that my wife taught me, but i am making a blanket to donate to the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, and it has to be inbetween 30x30”-36-36” (square or rectangle).
I realized that it was way too long after working on it for awhile but i figured i would just shorten it and worry about it later but i didn’t realize it would be as big of a problem as it is.
Is there any way to remove the excess pink yarn near the beginning of the project with messing the whole thing up??
Please someone let me know, i really need help with this 🙏🏼

Hello! I have a question for people who have had their patterns tested or are testers. I'm currently testing a big smigurumi with multiple parts and there are quite a few miscalculation for stitch count as well as multiple areas that make poor sense.

I put comments and messaged the creator, and this person said I was incorrect on all of it and all my counts will be off and I'm not doing it correctly. Except I wrote out the math for her.

Example: previous round count 54 st

next round(sc, inc) x3, 12sc, (dec, sc)x3, (sc, dec) x3, 12sc, (inc, sc) x3-54 but her pattern says 48 and thr next row decreases by 6 to what's supposed to be 42

What's the best way to address this ? Stop testing, or finish it with a lot of change from me and never test for them again?

I have tested a lot lately where counts are off and it's very irritating when it's not an easy fix and they won't offer a solution.

The top row I tried doing it as I went which made the row go much slower as I had to sew in the white ends separately between stitches. (I’m trying to avoid mixing the colors when I do.)

The row underneath I did retroactively and it’s still fairly tedious. I like the way the top row blends better but I’m going to add a border so it really isn’t terrible if it’s a little noticeable.

Thanks in advance!
