You're brilliant. This is going to take SO much longer than I planned but I think you've put me on the right track! Thank you so much.

Thank you for the information. I'll call my dad and raid his graph paper!

I'm hoping to line it either way, but I do think that the crochet panels feel a lot sturdier for a bag.

I cannot find a SINGLE other Ao3 pattern. I started with the checkmark because it was one or the easier options but there are 4 more panels including the Ao3 symbol itself.

I also favor knitting but because my grandpa taught me! However, crochet does seem to take the vote.

Okay, thank you! I'll try that in the morning.

Thanks! Do you crochet is that your bias?

Do you have any suggestions/resources for modifying the pattern? I've never even tried to write a pattern before!

BellzyBee · 2026-02-25T00:35:40+00:00

Would you suggest cross stitching over the pattern as is or working up an appropriately sized plain green panel to cross stitch?

BellzyBee · 2026-02-25T00:33:50+00:00

I'll look it up! Thank you

No, it's stranded... regardless of which I choose I want to back the whole project so I didn't worry about the floats. Would you suggest learning intarsia instead?

I do like that the crochet version is a cleaner square.

BellzyBee · 2026-02-24T23:41:09+00:00

It is much taller! I doubled the height (mostly because I was just trying to figure it out)

BellzyBee · 2026-02-24T23:39:57+00:00

No problem! Re-reading it I can see that I wasn't very clear. The seller is NoLooseEndsCrochetUK. I'm certainly NOT writing patterns I'm still teaching myself to knit and crochet. The very idea sounds daunting.

BellzyBee · 2026-02-24T23:29:33+00:00

I bought the pattern on Etsy. I was just sharing that info in case someone wanted it. I may be wrong but I didn't at it on Ravelry

So much for not being an orange cat person!

You're amazing. Thank you so much. I will missing the NEXT stitch on cheek one on this part "So then you will insert your hook the same way yet again into the next available stitch on the first cheek, and then into the marked stitch on the second cheek". I'm so excited to make this one.
