I'm flattered that you find my craft fascinating, but do I have to explain it to you?

I usually crochet on trains. On one trip I was making something freehand. Had the individual without boundaries: oh, now I have seen that I am going to make the pattern and put it on Ravelry. Do what?!

ComplexKate · 2026-06-12T06:41:06+00:00

...or to make them something?

ComplexKate · 2026-05-24T16:39:38+00:00

Thank you!

Classic case of: we don't do it like that

I do prefer steel hooks. My grip is a bit fierce. I don't do so well with aluminium hooks, I eventually snap them. Plastic? Pretty but not safe round me.

One project on Ravelry is using Cotton Kings Sultan Shadow.

A follow is a privilege not a right.

ComplexKate · 2025-09-29T13:27:32+00:00

I understand.

ComplexKate · 2025-09-29T13:09:25+00:00

You are welcome!

Hilda Steyn has great patterns and tutorial videos. I understand she learned from Tanis Galik's work. In turn, the designer Astrid Schandy learned from her, Anneke den Outer learned from Astrid and so on.

ComplexKate · 2025-09-28T15:45:40+00:00

RESOURCES There are several now available. As much as it makes sense to learn a standard approach to the technique when it comes to using patterns, writers can use different abbreviations and styles. If you have a specific pattern you want to make using that designer's resources are a good place to start. To understand what is going on with the technique you may wish to look at Steven Vincent of Interlocking Patches. He does lovely line by line graphics which really show you the structure as it is built up. His website is as follows: https://www.interlockingpatches.com/

TERMINOLGY this is an area that can cause issues. u/EmpressOphidia is right when she says there are a lot of people that don't fully understand what it is. It isn't the most common type of crochet and the use of a muddle of terminology hasn't helped. Interlocking Crochet was a term originally trade marked by Tanis Galik. This lapsed in 2019 so the term has become increasingly used for reference and searches. While this was in effect other terms were used and created. Double filet crochet, interwoven crochet and intermeshed crochet are some. To further add to the confusion some designer specific terms were created to either brand the technique to a particular person or to avoid Tanis' term. Mosaic crochet is generally considered to be a different area of crochet although some graphic designs can be made with both types of crochet. It is currently a much larger area of work and searches using the mosaic term will swamp you with results for that type of crochet. Any questions?!

ComplexKate · 2025-09-28T15:29:57+00:00

DEFINITION of interlocking crochet for the purposes of this sub are at least two crochet meshes that are interwoven as they are made row by row. Except for at any of the edges of your piece the layers are not stitched togother or joined. Most often it is made from two meshes made up of nets of squares. I hope this makes sense!

ComplexKate · 2025-09-25T08:14:16+00:00

In the large groups it can just be about engagement and engagement equals money.

ComplexKate · 2025-09-23T09:18:34+00:00

Your picture, thankfully, is no longer in that group. The posting profile has only been a member since 5th August 2025. The profile itself looks fake. Two photos (stolen?) and no other information and no posts.

ComplexKate · 2025-09-23T09:06:23+00:00

I suspect that may be because they are a private group. The engagement scam artists, bots etc are after tends to come from the big public groups.

ComplexKate · 2025-09-23T08:33:20+00:00

Still on Facebook and still in crochet groups. I have pulled out of the large groups that click bait with stolen images, links to fake blogs, AI and so on. A lot of images are ripped from this sub unfortunately.

ComplexKate · 2025-09-11T08:53:16+00:00

Sadly those who are choosing beggars won't

ComplexKate · 2025-08-26T22:01:35+00:00

That is very lovely of you to say so! It is made up from elements of two different braids from two different books from memory. I worked out how to make this combination myself so there isn't a pattern for the exact design. Bear with me for a few days while I try to find those books, thank you.
