I’d like to thank everyone for the feedback! Within the short time after a bit of stalling by watching tv I was able to make my first chain! It’s a bit wonky I think, but I think that’s because I’m currently trying to figure out how to keep the yarn taught enough while holding the working yarn and tail end of the yarn. Essentially I took the advice, and made sure the hook end of my crochet hook pointed down and not to me when I pulled it through the loop, as well as experimented with different grips and found one where I was more comfortable being able to hold the tail end of the yarn without reflexively letting go of the tail end when it was time to pull it through the starting loop (still can’t remember the proper terminology)

I turned a crocheted maple leaf into a cute fall hair clip

But people loved it at my market today! One of the greatest compliments I received on insta was from women appreciating that I allow the silhouette to naturally fit the body instead of forcing the boobs to be pushed up to my chin which is typical in some fashion pieces. It was refreshing to have that noticed and appreciated. Its interesting bc it garnered alot of unsavory comments on here about said part of the body lol! So interesting how different sides of the internet house different people with different mindset and openness. I love to experiment this way both with fashion and udnerstand other humans. What do you think of my avant garde blueberry pie inspired dress?

Papel picados are perfect!

My mumma made this beautiful crochet lotus gajra 🌸🥹❤️

She handmade each little flower and added the pearl details to give it that festive touch. ✨

What do you guys think? 🥰

hi! i made this little keychain for my friend, but it's the wrong color, and wrong button, and a little crooked because i'm still not that good at freehanding... i just wanted to see if you can tell what it is anyway

thanks in advance, and sorry if i there was a mistake in the text, english isn't my first language

Hi all! I found this gorgeous cardigan at TJ Maxx the other day but it was... $69.99 😩 so I thought, I should make it! But I'm thinking about what type of yarn to use. I'm pretty sure the original is cashmere, but I'm trying to make this cardigan as affordable as possible. I didn't check what the OG was made of, but it was incredibly soft.

Would love suggestions of types of yarn, possibly even the size of yarn or yarn recommendations.

Thank you so much!

Note: I know the outcome of a knitted cardigan will be different from a crocheted cardigan. I don't mind :)

… it was. I crocheted it explicitly to wear on my trip to the Oregon coast in 2024. Cannon Beach is beautiful btw 🤭

It was my second attempt at a sweater. It probably could have done with a bit more length and a smaller collar, but it’s so darn cute and cozy!!!

The hair is still a work in progress, but I will find out and figure out how to make it look like Pennywise hair.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has made an Appa (from Avatar the last airbender) stuffed animal and had any advice on how much to buy? I've only ever made those small crochet kits that give you all the materials, but I want to try to make this one from scratch.

I found a girl on insta (@mes.amistoys) who made a HUGE one that I'm using for an idea of what I want it to look like. I pretty much want to make a lap-dog-sized version of the one she made, and maybe try to make it so the legs can move a little bit if I get the hang of it. I like the size of the Pillowfort weighted stuff animals (~24in x 7in on the tag, abt 8-9in tall)

Any and all advice is appreciated, thank you!!!

Hello everyone, I’m a beginner crocheting and I’m learning! I started trying to practice yesterday, then decided to sleep after failing to practice a chain too many times. I started again today, and every time I try to do a yarn over I can’t pull it through my starting loop (I can’t remember the proper terminology now, sorry 😅). I’ve gotten a bit better at being able to catch the yarn on my hook with angling my hook down after doing yarn over. But now the issue is the starting loop keeps flipping which untwists my yarn over when I try to pull it through. I’m not 100% sure how to deal with it or what I’m doing with my fingers. My grip on the hook I’ve trained would be the fork hold, and the butter knife hold. As for the yarn I loop it around my pinkie and under my ring and middle finger to pinch the project. I honestly just don’t know what I’m doing wrong tho or what I should try to adjust. Maybe I just have to keep practicing because it’s a dexterity issue because I always reflexively let go as well. I’d love some tips!

Crochet pumpkin bag for Halloween 🎃🧶

Sharing a crochet pumpkin bag tutorial with a jack-o’-lantern face, black handle, and drawstring closure! The guide covers the base, sides, and finishing details, with ideas for making it your own.

Would you stick with classic orange and black, or try the purple version? 👻

Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone has any idea where I can find a pattern (paid or free) for this style/shape bunny? Obviously the colours aren’t vital but I’m specifically looking for this shape and style.
Have searched Etsy etc but can’t seem to find one.
TIA!

I'm pretty sure that this pattern is working from the top down. I'm really new to crocheting wearables (this is the 2nd pattern that I'm trying). I'm not sure where I should start on the sleeves once I've finished the yoke though? Am I supposed to count 18 stitches on the top, or on the side of the project. I am crocheting it in the biggest size. I'm not sure if that helps?

Experimenting with vibrant coasters —​Can’t stop making these !

Coffee tastes better when it sits on something you made.☕️

Constructive criticism is welcome

It is a lot darker in colour than in the photo and I decided not to do the sleeves or the edging because I found those parts a little too confusing. But other than that, I think I did pretty good.

What do you all think of it?

I made these two crochet pieces, a spiderman face and a bat (the one in the pic is not mine, it's just a reference). I want to attach both of them to a single keychain. I don't want them hanging at the same height though. How do I do this without making it look awkward?
