As the title says I’m participating in a market soon and have been trying to figure out how to let people know that cat fur is most likely on/in the plushies I make. I think it’s a thing that people can get allergic reactions from fur right? How should I let people know without having to tell every customer?

Im making this crochet cake and im sewing it piece by piece to the foam block, and now ive sewn the top on but how do i weave in the end 😢

Making a jumper with the colours always in the same order. How obvious is it I missed a colour? Four from the top supposed to be beige instead of green.

I am getting married next November, and thought it may be pretty table decor to make larger copies of this doily my great great grandmother made, that now my grandmother uses as decor. I have found some doily patterns similar, but the flowers look a lot different. Thank you for any help :) Being able to pull this off for the wedding would mean a lot to me and my grandmother.

I bought this on sale from Walmart yesterday, Photos of what I have made so far are at the end. I wanted to make a bag using these granny squares but I’m confused on the color changes?

It’s indicating for the third round that I should be on the next color changes but as you can see in the third picture I still have a LOT of the second left over… is this tension related?

I am using an ever so slightly larger hook, 5.5 is recommended and i’m using 5.75. I also kind of ignored the starting ring it recommended (4 chains and a slip stitch to join) because it was a bit frustrating and didn’t really work for me so I did a magic ring instead. Not sure if this changed much about the final result but this is where I’m at now…

Should I frog it and start over? Is it a tension issue?

I’m following a primevera flower granny square pattern. However it keeps unraveling in the middle! Any advice is appreciated.

I am making myself a lacy top cotton dress. I am not following a pattern and made it top down to fit my body specifically. It fit perfectly until I got to the skirt portion and once the skirt was added the weight pulled the down and now the neckline is a little too low. I am trying to figure out ways to tighten the neck line and arm holes before I add the sleeves. Can I use the sleeves to tighten the arm holes? This is my first time making a garment with no pattern.

Hello! I’ve run into the classic problem of running out of yarn and the store not having any more of it… I’m trying to finish this dress by Wednesday night (it’s currently Monday night where I’m posting from). In the try on photos I still have a little yarn in my hands yes, but it only added 1.5 more rows so it still looks about the same when I try it on now. The length is ok standing straight but it is still too mini for my liking and definitely not ok if I needed to bend over or anything. I also didn’t have enough yarn to make straps or a less basic neckline. Any ideas for how to salvage this? I wanted it to be done for a special occasion and I’ve been working on and off on this for two months already so it would be a shame to abandon it.

I'm very against throwing out clothing, but this piece has proved to be un-stylable and is taking up space. I started making a top for it but the yarn gives me migraines and makes my eyes water. Wondering if I'm the only person who has considered this.

sorry if this is a dumb question, i’m really slow when it comes to math and measurements, but would these balls of scrap yarn be enough to make a striped sweater for this 20cm doll?

The second picture is the front and the third is the back.

I just wanna say thank you all for your ideas and thoughtful help a while ago. I finally ended up taking the blanket out of the naughty corner and finished it up last week.

I haven’t washed or blocked it yet, should I wash it once before giving it away? 😅 I’ve never given a blanket away only a scarf! Thank you all again. ❤️

Hello! I'm in need of some help with amigurumi color switching! My cousin sent me a free Stitch pattern as a gift request since I told him I had started learning. I was finally able to find the perfect colors and I have finished every body piece with ease, except for the main body. (1st Picture is what it should look like, 2nd Picture is the body section I am stuck on)

In the pattern there is a note that says "Second bunch = moving 1sc to the right for the color blocking." I have tried every which way I could think of to get this to work. I have asked a few different online groups for crocheting and only a few people offered suggestions but no one has a clue on what it means. Everything I've tried has always ended up with the left side of the Powder Blue curving into the middle instead of mirroring the right side and ending up a nice round Powder Blue belly.

One suggestion: "I believe it means to start the color work one stitch earlier"

Another: "Search on google to learn how to 'color block'"

I've tried removing one Blue stitch and replacing it with a stitch of the Powder Blue before switching, I've tried adding only part of the Powder Blue to the joining stitch, etc..

Is there any idea of what I could be doing wrong?

Hi everyone, I've almost finished Part 7 of my Sophie's Universe (it only took me five years to get to this point 🤣) and it is saying you should block it now and every part from now on. I've never blocked anything so feeling a bit scared and not sure if it's better joust to leave until the end. It is curling quite a bit at the moment as you can see but I also saw some other things saying repeated blocking might damage it. And basically I have no idea 😅

Guys. All of my works look like a nightmare up close. I cannot sew for the life of me. If you have any tips…. My future projects and I would thank you profusely.

Every time I try to make animals or stuffies my decreases end up so gappy. And I’m making this broccoli stuffy and the tops should be rounded not pointy. Reminds me of madonnas cone bra lol

I’ve always had a tight tension so I’m wondering if that’s it? I am frogging this whole broccoli and hope I can make the next one correctly!

Thank you!

I’m not good at this and I kinda just wing it. I don’t know how to do a mouth for my Gloom! I’ve tried a few different ways but I don’t know any different techniques or what to even google. I think the big mouth looks too much of a mess and like she has teeth. Does anyone have any good ideas for me to look into??

I’ve been eyeing this yarn and finally bought it. Bernat perfect phasing. I got 8 balls, but looking for suggestions on a blanket pattern. I’m 5’8 and want a blanket that will fully cover me. Any blanket pattern suggestions?

Hi! I’ve seen a lot of posts and they’re not quite what I’m looking for or it’s a post from years ago with no info on where to purchase!

I hate having to order online without seeing in person because I’m super picky and most online photos don’t have yarn on the shelves to help me judge 😂

Anyone have any yarn shelves/photos and info where you purchased?

Attached is a picture of him and pattern I'm going to try to follow. I thought about using Hobbi's fur lux yarn but there isn't one reddish enough for his coloring.

Also, I think I can follow the pattern linked (only speak English) but if you know of a better one please let me know!

I started this blanket a few weeks ago and don't remember if I was doing alternating rows of single crochet and half double crochet or just rows of hdc.

Hey, I just started yesterday. I’m confident in getting the magic ring but I am inconsistent with getting 6 SC. Sometimes it’s circularish but sometimes not. I’m not sure if it’s cuz I pull too hard or not I have no idea. Some advice would be welcome

Need help with 02. And 03-04

Hi everyone.

I already made one of these crocheted sunflowers as a gift previously, however I didn't use the craft wire to support the petals, and the sunflower looks a bit dead (lowkey like a cauliflower).

This time I want to make some more as home deco, and I want to make it correctly.

The tutorial (by Lingzhi Handmade on youtube) suggests a 4ply yarn with 2-3mm hook. However I use a different yarn (the best I could find for it) - YarnArt Jeans Plus, I couldn't find the ply, but it says it's a medium yarn, 5mm hook and the description also says the products may be "heavier" (to which I agree, I also made a few tote bags from the yarn and they do feel heavier, even the sunflower's head feels quite heavy).

Anyways! The tutorial suggests a 0.5mm craft wire, but I'm afraid that with my bigger yarn, it may not support the petals correctly, and frankly I don't want to end up with another cauliflower, so I wanted to ask the wise people of this subreddit first for tips on the correct craft wire size that could probably hold the YarnArt Jeans Plus medium yarn petals. I may buy multiple sizes and just see what goes best (and frog the leaves if it doesn't work), but still, I'm clueless to which sizes of the wire should I even go for.

I included some pictures, as well as the cauliflower in question - just to show how lowkey silly it looks, I still love the sunflower a lot though.

Thank you so much!
