This is my first time blocking a crochet project. I lightly sprayed my acrylic shawl with water, placed a towel over it, and ironed over the towel with a regular household iron on a fairly low heat setting.
I sprayed a little more water on the tip of the shawl because that part looked messier than the rest. Now the stitches in that area look completely flat and have lost their texture and volume, unlike the rest of the shawl.
Is this permanent damage, or is there any way to restore the texture and shape of that section? 😔

I messed up the first stitch in the true cable pattern and now when I’m trying to do the upper ribbing on this afghan the stitches are coming out off by one, making it look odd. Probably just something I would notice but it’s driving me nuts. My husband says I shouldn’t frog it but I’m really tempted to (it would be a lot of work and at least 10+ skeins of yarn) but I don’t have a good way to fix the upper stitches.

What should I do? Frog the whole thing for this one mistake or leave as is and try to cover up the weirdness of the upper ribbing?

My partner’s grandmother was a crocheter and my partner’s mom recently found this project that we think she had been working on. Could this be a shawl, or something else? I believe it was worked from the center out and it seems finished. It’s a little less than 4ft wide. I initially thought tree skirt but the shape didn’t really make sense once we unfolded it all the way. Intrigued to know everyone’s thoughts!

Thank you!

I’m looking to make my darling owl demon hooty and need some help with how much yarn to buy! I’m hoping to make it about 30cm/12 inches for the diameter of the face and about 5-6 feet long

I’d ideally like to use this chunky yarn, that’s approximately 300g and 150m. Im also like completely freehanding this so I don’t have a pattern lmao but basically just a cylinder. Idk maybe a half double crochet but I’m up for any advice!

Thank you so much!!

I was browsing through yarn recommendation but most of them weren't available in my country, but I saw someone recommending bamboo cotton yarn and it's something that is available for me and they said it was suitable for clothing projects since it's lightweight. When it arrived it was thinner than I expected and I was planning to make a cardigan. It has been rotting away for almost a year now, can anyone give me advice on what project I could make do with this yarn? Can this be used to make cardigan or no?

Basically- she’s picking random numbers from my granny square source book. No clue what each design is, no clue the size of the square. Nothing. I stopped letting her pick colors after I realized how bad it could turn out (hilariously bad, but I want it to look just good lol)
This is the blanket so far. I’m not sure what stitch to use for the border yet. I’m still adding squares and need to sew them together more. Her favorite colors are green and blue. Any ideas?

Me again! We also found these - I originally thought blanket panels, but less so now; they are all roughly the length of a queen size bed but not the exact same length. Could they be runners of some sort? If you are familiar with this pattern or have seen something similar, please do let me know!

Hi !!
i accidentally bought too much mohair thinking i’d need way more for my project, and was wondering what i could do with whats left ?
i have a whole skein (25g / approximately 200m), and two half skeins left. i was thinking maybe a shrug situation but i dont think i’ll have enough; and i don’t really want to buy another skein given how pricey it is…
if anyone has any ideas !!!
thanks :)

I need help on figuring out this stitch.

I saw a pinterest post about the “crocodile stitch” and it was a blog just talking about this stitch, including examples which i’ve added above.

However, when searching the crocodile stitch, it is NOT the same, and I can not find any other post or tutorial for this stitch.

After a long battle with Google AI (giving me a million wrong answers) it told me that this stitch looks too perfect and is probably an AI stitch.

However, I still believe it is possible to replicate, or even a similar stitch? Like a crocodile/shell stitch but the “point” of the shells is actually anchored in as the base of the stitch?

I think it would be worked up similar to a fan stitch but then I don’t know how to make the shells have raised sides?

Any help would be appreciated!

My mom made me some donkey ears for a beanie and I am trying to figure out why they are different so we can get it fixed. The one on the left is messier, more flimsy, and the border is thinner. I would like both ears to look like the one on the right.

Those using size 10 crochet thread. What hook size do you use for filet crochet?

Hi everyone!

So I’m making my friend a nursery mobile vintage Winnie the Pooh themed.

I already completed Piglet (other than sewing the pieces all together) and now I started on Pooh.

I am using DK cotton yarn (Rico Ricorumi) and a 2.25mm hook.

I was decently happy with how Piglet turned out, but now that I’m doing Pooh I am wondering if they are going to look silly with each other..

Obviously the pattern was written using chunky yarn and a 6.5mm hook, but the difference between Piglet & Pooh is more apparent with their work, especially the little Piglet vs Pooh (they have both big and little versions of Piglet)

I didn’t pay enough attention to the rounds/stitch counts, big piglet and Pooh have the same amount of stitches for the widest/biggest part of the head (piglets head has 2 i rounds ending with 14 vs 12 on Pooh). Their bodies are only 6 stitches different at the widest part and Poohs body has 2 additional rounds (16 vs 14)

Right now, they look very very similar in size (in fact I feel like Poohs head looks smaller than Piglets).

My dilemma is twofold:
1) should I redo Piglet using the little piglet pattern instead? (Photos at end show the pattern makers large vs small with Pooh)

2) are these even big enough for a nursery mobile? Or should I remake both things with a larger hook to make them larger (like a 3? Or 2.75?)

Thanks so much!

I am working on a block stitch granny square blanket and want to switch from a 3.75mm hook to a 4mm hook as my 3.75mm hook is not very comfortable and the uncommon size is driving me up a wall looking for a suitable replacement.

I plan on steaming the acrylic to relax it and with the small change/ in the round construction I think it would be ok? IDK for sure. If anyone has done this I'd love to hear if it worked out

Edit: it is a continuous giant granny square

I really want to make a wedding gift for a friend with their family name but I want to use the stylized letters from the included picture. I’ve done filets before but not a custom one. Not sure if I’m just a noob or dumb but I can’t figure out the websites where they help you create a grid. Any suggestions for user friendly ones would be appreciated!

Need to go around 8 times on this pattern, and would like to know how to count my rounds in a magic circle in case I ever lose track or want to double check like I am right now

Im trying to figure out how many stitches for this section. It says for row two Ch 3 (counts as first dc), turn, dc in first sc, * dc in next 7 sc.

so, am I doing 8 (1+7) dc total after the chain or 7 total? Because that changed the place of the valley and peak for row two, and so on. I think that’s where I messed up before…
Edit: I added a photo of my current work in the comments

This is a single thing of yarn I got at a thrift store, and I'm not sure what to do with it. The yarn I usually use is in the next picture. The yarn I got here is pretty, and it was cheap (as I've said before), so I got it. Now I don't know what to make out of it. Any ideas?

Hii! I’m looking to crochet a turtwig from Pokémon and I’m having some trouble! The photos don’t help me and patterns I’ve used always have clear notes in the rounds.
I’ve reached out to the seller but they aren’t giving me help on the pattern. They only told me “if they’re front just front loops it’s like following a diagram” & that they see the color change after 15 and round 16 continues..”

The beak starts mid R15 after the 19sc..
Color change to yellow is R16
In the photo example they show looks to be the color change ( R16 ) but they say it isn’t.

When I look at the red notes
“ Rd 19 FLO as shown ( only 6 stitches )”
“ Rd 20 after 19sc , do 6HDC in the spaces you left in the previous round ( 6HDC) “

But RD 19 there isn’t 19sc happening..
Rd 19 is (1dec,1sc) =12

My mind is going insane please someone help me even try this and let me know if I’m doing it wrong ,poorly written or is this Ai?

I'm trying to remake these trivets that I have been using almost nightly for roughly 25 years. They are 2 separate circles stitched together around the outside color/ edge.

I can replicate the very edge with a single crochet, but i'm confused about the stitching that starts at the white and makes the petal outline, especially because the back is only 2 threads compared to 4 in the front.

And since I tagged that as stitch ID, everything else is double crochet, right? Those petals have a long drop feel to them, so I want to make sure it isn't treble.

i’m making a baby blanket and it’s turning out all crumpled despite me following the pattern… what would you do? increse ch st to 3 instead of 2? that’s what i was thinking but i’m not sure.

I was very cocky and thought, "I'll just wing it!" On a blanket. I don't like granny squares, but I love whatever stitch this is, so I figured I could crank out a bunch of squares of it, then join them all. My issue now is how do I join them? I want it to look nice and uniform. Do I need to border each piece in its own color, then join with the accent color? That seems tedious... Is there a way to join the squares to one another without an "evening" border around the edges? (There is a second color of square, so I'll have a checker board purple and pink. I have white as a border color).

this is a crochet pattern for a red panda, but it’s quite confusing to me. how do i fasten off? do i just leave the loop? how do i put sc into a line of yarn?
