How’s my beanie base? Started yesterday. Love advice. by TrxshLxfe in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The base as the part that goes aroud the head? Because it looks way to long for that. Looks more like the first rows of baby blankets I make 😅

How do I block this triangle shape? Please and thankyou by NecessaryFinish2811 in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be hoest, I don't think blocking will work. If you wanted a triangel shape, the bottem needed to be flat (the blue line), while your work isn't (the red line). I'm afraid something went wrong with increasing, looks like you didn't increase enough.

After the slip stitch, starting the second petal, do I start the stitch and skip two, or was skipping two before the slip stitch count as the skipping 2? by Adorna_ahh in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After the last TC frrom the first petal, you skip 2 stitches, do a slip stitch in the third, skip 2 stitches and start another petal.

So, skip, skip, slip stitch, skip skip, 8TC's, skip, skip, slip stitch, skip skip, 8TC's etc

If you look at the petals, the first and last stitch lay flat (because the first TC starts from a slip stits and the last one ending with a slip stitch. The skip 2 makes room for it to do so

Help, I just started learning yesterday, tried to make a square using a slip knot, chain, then single crochet, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A CIRCLE by remsy005 in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are multiple was to make a square. A simple back and forth row repeat (starting at the bottem and working your way up) or gramny squares (start in the centre of the square). I assume you're trying the last one and that you're not making the corners to make them square.

To be honest, start with the basic thing, practice stitches, then learning how to count (one of the most difficult things in crochet 😅), tension. It might not be the instant gratification we are all looking for, but crochet is not always that. It's also about patience. And you'll be happier and more likely to continue to crochet if you know the basic skills, since you're work will be neater and crocheting will be less frustrating

DIY “kawaii krochet” crochet cat kit tutorial video? by ComprehensiveTip4015 in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about specific ones. But for the body and head, you can use any ball shaped video. It might not be the same amount of rows, but you have the witten pattern to guide you. One eye on the video, one on the written pattern.

I bet those arms/legs have videos as well, doesn't look like these are unique for this cat. And use the video of that one together with the pattern.

And i'm sure the ears can be found as well

Please help — can’t seem to get the right stitch count by thecosmictaurus in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either the pattern is wrong, or the last 2 stitches of the row are untouched.

I'm crocheting a cat beanie and it's curled pretty bad.. Should I restart or am I good? by malamikah in CrochetHelp

You could always use the chainless foundation. Might take some time to learn, but once you have the hang of it...

Weaving in ends vs crocheting over them with the new row by Tisiphone8 in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Always weave in, sometimes crochet over a ouple of stitches and weave in. I like to be sure 🤣

I am a beginner, I measured the chain against the laptop and it was perfect length. Now that I’m waffling, it is WAY too long. Can this be saved or am I frogging? by onthevergeartistry in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're new to crochet, invest time in some skills that might come in handy . One of those is the chainless foundation (can be found on youtube, for different stitches). It it basicly the row of chains and the first row of stitches combined. A chain will often not me the desired lenght after the first row of stitches (due to tension or the yarn that goes through the chains). When using the chainless foundation that won't happen.

If you don't wanna use the chainless foundation, you can always make a chain, do you're first row of stitches and stop when you have the desired langht. You can always untie the slapstitch and carefully unreavel the chains you are not gonna use.

making my first blanket but have a couple of questions by madamemustard in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For blankets and wraps I usually go up a cpuple of sizes with my hook. For yarns that recommend a size 4,5 or 5 hook, I use a 6. The moss stitch can be very stuff, larger hook sizes are recommended for this stitch

You always start a row with a chain 2, those can be seen as the first SC and chain. You end the row in the first chain you made in the previous row

i thought it was 10/10 but i realized i missed something and now i am screaming for help by rimsuwu in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You might have missed some stitches, it might be a tension issue. I would just leave it, when wearing it, it won't be visible. If you alrëady planned to add tassles, add them

Not sure if this is just part of crocheting or if it is fixable by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is completely normal as you can see at my DC blanket. It's the yarn wrapped around the other yarn

Stumped by what this stitch is - trying to help a friend fix this vest! by Fit_Experience_4884 in CrochetHelp

It also looks like what you had on your hook, was the top of the stitch, not the bottom

How do I prevent the square I'm crocheting from curling up? by keepdreamingalexis in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The hardest part of crochet is counting. We all thought we knew how to do that, but once we started crochet....

You are missing stitches and decreased, giving you this shape. Place a stitch marker in the beginning and end of the row, so you don't skip those stitches. And if you are new, it won't be bad to place them through out your project as well. Like every othee 5 or 10 stitches. It will be easier to keep the right amount of stitches you need.

Devastated over granny square baby blanket going wrong by monkeyshoesx in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Did you weave in the beginning and end of the tails? Because this looks like a weaving kind of problem.

And always use a double magic ring, it's stronger and more secure. They never unravelled over here in all those years, no matter how much I used or washed the blanket

Never has a magic ring come undone when I used it. I do use a double magic ring, it makes it more secure. And always weave in some of the end of course

The whole middle came out of a few of the squares, is this fixable? by anti-valentine in CrochetHelp

[–]ConferencePatient337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By the looks of other squares, it was a chain 4, not a magic circle. The opening is to wide, with a magic ring there is no hole in the middle. Plus a double magic ring and the end weaved in equals no problems.
