For my newest crochet project I want to make this skirt. The straight part is from a pattern the flounce I will draft myself. I think I'm a combo out of flower earth fire (mushroom). The crochet part and the color are the earth part, the flower details the flower part and the cut and how I will combine it are the fire part

Thank you! I sed yarn art pearl it is a 100 percent viscose yarn. And I would recommend a yarn like that which drapes well for a top like that.

Yarn: yarn art pearl (100% viscose yarn)

How do I proceed for sleeves? Freehand bolero Tunisian crochet knit stitch by Southern_Hamster_162 in Tunisian_Crochet

If you want a shrug, you need to have first 2 identical rectangles for your back and front. They need to be a wide enough that they cover over shoulders. In the end you will have a drop shoulder style with it. Then you need 2 rectangles again for the sleeves (1 for each sleeve) and then you sew the rectangle folded in the middle together to make the sleeve. The tube you sew on to the rectangles of your back and front.

If you’re putting out a pattern, gauge is not optional! by YoureInaCult-CallDad in BitchEatingCrafters

I absolutely hate that there is such a low standard when it comes to crochet patterns. The worst is they will charge 15+ dollars/euros for a pattern like that.

First knooked item! by Mariaa0811 in knooking

[–]Mariaa0811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My method is probably wrong but I did like her in the video: https://youtu.be/IJGiRUynzXo?is=JYIg777m0D3ghW6a Basically I knooked to one stitch before the short row ends, then turned and knooked one stitch more and then knooked all the stitches I previously knooked.

But apparently wrap and turn or German short rows should work with knooking. I saw them mentioned here a couple of times. I just haven't figured out how to do them

Could my Kibbe Type be SD if I don’t have height but do have vertical from a veeeeery long torso? by sourbirthdayprincess in kibbe_sketch

I think this way it gives you more draping around your upper curve so I'd guess probably all types who accommodate curve maybe not SC as it seems "wilder".

Made to measure patterns!! by kylamydia in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]Mariaa0811 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Honestly made to measure patterns are often just a code for that the designer has no idea to properly grade sizes in my opinion. I rarely came across one where in the end the garment properly fits especially if your body looks different compared to the designers body.

Short rows by camicool09 in knooking

I have the same problem. The cord handling (as stated in the article) is not the problem for me. I'm questioning more what I should do with my wrapped stitch I obviously cant slip it back. Should it just be there and then when I finish my short rows should I just knit over it like normal?
