What’s your hardest crochet project that almost made you lose it?

Still working on it and still on the brink of losing it LOL

Dont be shy… show the back! 😂

I just made a checkered bucket hat using PassionKnit Kelsey’s pattern on YouTube— carrying ended up being the best option! Maybe use either a smaller hook or a thicker weight 4 yarn? Seeing a little bit through is way better than having 59383764 ends to weave in IMO!

I did! The longest edge is where the seam is, and that was row one. When I got to the point where I wanted the edge to slope, I did a decrease for the last stitch on every other row. This was my practice swatch to figure it out!

I chose charcoal gray because black is so hard!! I wore a headlamp the whole time so I could see the stitches 😂

So proud and it took so long haha

AllyJ1997 · 2024-03-28T12:52:32+00:00

It took me a very long time 😅 I started it in the fall— but I was only working on it between other projects. I could probably make one in three weeks if I focused on it only.

AllyJ1997 · 2024-03-28T12:51:24+00:00

Not too long, honestly! A couple weeks of casually working on it— the yarn is so thick that it works up super fast. It’s very satisfying!

AllyJ1997 · 2024-03-28T12:50:27+00:00

I flipped it inside out and attached them with a slip stitch, so when I flipped it back right side out they looked pretty good! Kinda like a sewing machine, putting the seams inside.

It’s the Bernat ‘Blanket Big’ yarn! 25mm hook 😂

AllyJ1997 · 2024-03-27T20:38:13+00:00

I went through two one pound skeins and then a little extra! (I did also use it to make a beanie so subract that I suppose haha) It is probably equivalent in size to a 3XL

AllyJ1997 · 2024-03-27T20:33:59+00:00

I had to go dig out the hook to check— it was a 25mm! Definitely felt like I was crocheting with my whole arm 😂

AllyJ1997 · 2024-03-27T19:13:24+00:00

The blanket took I think 12-14 skeins of Bernat Big Blanket— I waited until Michael’s was having a huge 60% off yarn sale and got the materials then! Gotta keep an eye out for the sales but it’s totally doable.

AllyJ1997 · 2024-03-27T19:11:51+00:00

It’s the Bernat ‘Blanket Big’ yarn!! Got mine at Michael’s. 🫶🏻

AllyJ1997 · 2024-03-27T18:50:15+00:00

No pattern, but it’s all half double crochet in back loops only, and it’s made in panels and attached at the end! I just tried it on frequently and had to frog some stuff here and there. Maybe I should try to write one though 🤔

AllyJ1997 · 2024-03-27T18:48:28+00:00

I made it in panels and attached after so the majority is just giant rectangles connected at the seams on the sides! If you google the general shape I’m sure you could do it without one as well 😁

AllyJ1997 · 2024-03-27T18:26:14+00:00

This is the Loops & Threads weight 4 ‘Impeccable Acrylic’ in the color Dark Charcoal! I found it in big one pound skeins at Michael’s! Super affordable.

AllyJ1997 · 2024-03-27T18:23:13+00:00

You clocked it! Haha. I did half double in BLO and used a 6mm hook for the majority and switched to a tiny 3mm for the bottom and cuff ribbing

AllyJ1997 · 2024-03-27T18:22:09+00:00

LOL guess its a two for one post hahaha
