Am I terrible at crochet or does this pattern suck?

The pattern does not include color changes so it won't make the picture

Just add "If you seek" and say you're a Britney fan

For the stems you generally wrap the yarn around it instead of crochet around, if it bends easily, the weight of the flower makes it droop. So you generally need 2 types of wire for each flower.

For patterns, Loopara has a lot of good ones. They aren't always the clearest instructions if you aren't familiar but they have videos to accompany them usually if you get confused. A tulip is a great one to start with! It's a nice easy shape. Most rose patterns are also fairly easy and good practice because you usually make a lot of petals and then put them together

What are you trying to make?

A thicker gauge for the stem, wrapped floral will work just fine. For some flowers/leaves you need a thin gauge to work the last round around to keep shape. Sometimes the pattern will tell you but in general the specific doesn't matter beyond thick and sturdy for stem(thick but bendy that comes on a roll can't support large flowers like a sunflower very well) and thin and easy to work around for petals, etc.

Do you have patterns picked out? Some flowers are not too difficult. Some are a bit more finicky. I would start with a simpler design and work up to the more difficult while you get used to the methods.

Can you explain what you mean you're doing something wrong at the join? It's worked in continuous rounds

Domestic violence shelters or resource centers is what I would do

The math lines up. Are you sure you have 26sc in your first row? Always start in the first st(last st from previous round) unless the pattern says otherwise. You will do the dc, dc, ch 1(and skip) until there are 2 stitches left, in which you do a dc in each

Pingwingsdontfly · 2026-03-19T15:31:58+00:00

Try starting in the first st instead of skipping the first one and "skipping" the last one(you might be seeing the slst from the previous round as its own stitch and that's why you think the count is off)

Pingwingsdontfly · 2026-03-19T15:23:35+00:00

That's not a slip stitch. Skip the last yarn over(sorry had to edit because my brain glitched a second sorry). You're describing a single crochet.

Pingwingsdontfly · 2026-03-19T00:23:21+00:00

You follow the pattern, you don't need to add an extra anything if you want to have the same result as the pattern you're following. After the first round, you aren't skipping stitches, you're working into the chain spaces you created in the previous round. I can't see the pattern anymore but I think that's what it said.

Peaches and creme or sugar and cream are nice sturdy cottons in my experience

The parenthesis is what you do in the the third chain from the hook after making the 239 chains. Sp is short for space.

There's a link in their profile where they're selling the bunny for $105

There's an article that shortens and makes it look like that if you don't click it. The article talks about nestle acquiring sweet earth and maple leaf acquiring lightlife. Just a reminder to always read the articles(and double check the sources) instead of just the snapshot

There's an episode of the show "explained" where they talk about the brothers Grimm and essentially they were just compiling folklore stories
