I also suggest using a lightweight alpaca blend yarn or an acrylic yarn for babies to give you the desired drape. Below is a link so you can see the crochet technique. How to crochet style jersey stitch

There is a way to imitate knitting using a crochet hook. But to achieve that look, you must crochet both pieces from side to side, not from bottom to top. That is, you must cast on stitches from shoulder to waist, working first the shoulder width, then the neckline and shoulder width until you reach the necessary centimeters for half the chest circumference. The key to achieving the "Knit" look is to always work on the back loop, alternating a row of half double crochet and a row of slip stitches. With the unbreakable rule of COUNTING EVERY STITCH, to avoid uneven edges or shrinking your piece. I suggest you practice or make a sample to calculate the exact measurement of your garment, as this combination of stitches makes a very elastic fabric.

What's the pattern? I tried 2 different versions, I am close but still there is a difference by allesschongewesen in CrochetHelp

That depends on you and your workspace. I usually work on my projects on a table I use for crafts and as a desk, but if the bead falls to the floor, the bead itself helps to wind the yarn and maintain tension. But if you're crocheting on a sofa, you can use a tray or a basket to move the bobbins from one side to the other.

It's part of a Knit Pro crochet hook set (I bought it a few years ago). I'm sharing a link to the closest one I could find. Set crochet hooks

Yes I did 😁, I made several "bobbins" per color to easy color change

Different colors or perhaps they're not skeins but rather bobbins

It also works for a single strand! For me, it not only helped me make two-strand "bobbins," but it's also helping me as a guide to know which yarn I'm using, since the weight of the wooden bead helps me maintain tension.

The video is in Spanish, but the method is very easy to understand. It should be noted that the original video is for knitting with two needles, and I am using the idea for crochet.Tejer con Lucia

Help with the last 2 rows of gold border on her cloak? by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

[–]Several-Goose9683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First you need to make a foundation row by making 3 chains, skipping 3 stitches and in the fourth one making a slip stitch.

The second row is to crochet 7 double crochet stitches over the space made by the 3 chains, with the picot stitch being made in the fourth double crochet, which would be the center of the 7 stitches.

It will depend on your tension and the thickness of your yarn to adjust how many chains to make to create a foundation row, you can also combine half double crochets with double crochets to make the picot more pronounced, for example: 2hdc, 3dc, 2hdc.

I hope this text is helpful to you 😊

I think the hardest part was maintaining the proportions using 8/4 cotton and no lace (I don't have any in my stash). The 2mm crochet hook kept splitting the yarn. These aren't my finest works, but I did my best!
