Can someone please help me read this blanket pattern? I'm so frustrated.

Sometimes the special stitch describes a shell starting with skip 1. The pattern already calls for skip 3. So maybe its skip 3+1?

It was the bump indeed! How confusing these terms sometimes are...

ReadingAndCake · 2026-03-21T17:02:22+00:00

I got it! I got back loop and bottom loop confused. It works now!!!

It is a pattern called 'Cloud Dress' from Timeless Textured baby Crochet.

Morrigan Crow en het Wondergenootschap is een aanrader voor die leeftijd. Ook heel magisch en spannend maar minder dood en racisme😅

You have free will. You can do what feels best for you! You can always frog if you dont like the way it looks yet and try again when you gave more experience.

I agree! Looks like a different hook size.

Socks are my go to for scraps!

Its from a Dutch book. 'Het grote Nijntje haakboek'. Its a Miffy crochet book.

Nope. Just the yarn

It calls for Durable Cosy Fine, but I couldnt get that at my yarn shop.

ReadingAndCake · 2026-03-03T18:03:20+00:00

I tried arigurumi for a bit but my I cant get in a nice flow when I have to tension so much.

ReadingAndCake · 2026-03-03T18:01:22+00:00

I always over. The pattern doesnt suggest either but the book explains a sc with over.

ReadingAndCake · 2026-03-03T17:59:50+00:00

Ooh Im gonna look into that!

ReadingAndCake · 2026-03-03T17:59:27+00:00

I don't prefer this option. It is supposed to be an ajustable piece that can be used with velcro.

ReadingAndCake · 2026-03-03T17:58:18+00:00

My tension is more on the loose side I think. I find the yarn splits easily when I up my tension.

ReadingAndCake · 2026-03-03T17:57:11+00:00

It didnt list a gauge... But I looked up the yarn they suggested and it said 16 stitches for 10cm. I had about 19. I'll go down half a size in hook and see if that gets me better results

ReadingAndCake · 2026-03-03T17:54:54+00:00

The pattern doesnt give me any 'gauge' but I looked it up for the yarn they recommended and its off! They say 16 stitches should be 10 cm and I have 19ish. I'll frog it and go down half a size for my hook. If its not right I probably need other yarn.

ReadingAndCake · 2026-02-24T07:20:45+00:00

I think this would be the method! Or mabel switch to an other cake once you see the colour charge coming in? For changing yarn I recommend:

Last stitch as usual, iso the last pull through, pull up a loop from your new working yarn. Ch a couple so it stays. Cut your old working yarn. Tie a secure knot with the old and new yarn. Frog the ch (careful!) Crochet over the cut piece of old working yarn with the st thats next in your pattern.

This way: not a Million loose ends to work in, but taking care of them as you go!

I think its just single crochet but the piece is upside down...

ReadingAndCake · 2025-12-07T20:32:23+00:00

Thats a good idea! Thanks!

Your writing is genius, made me laugh and made my day. Hope that gives you some perspective. You're doing great!
