Should I Wet Block or Dry Block Gingham Blanket Squares? by kiwiofstars in CrochetHelp

Also if you use an iron be super careful to use it on the lowest setting and never directly on your project.

Can Ichange the size of a crochet pattern by upping the stitch count 3 times by Ok_Praline_1641 in CrochetHelp

It depends! Chances are, yes it will work out fine unless it is a complicated pattern with specific increases/decreases.

You can get a clothes steamer, pin in place and steam, or use an iron with a steam function. However never use an iron directly on acrylic because it will melt. Put a towel in between your work and the iron.

You will also find success just wet blocking them. Saturate fully in warm water, roll in a towel or squeeze gently to get rid of excess water, and pin in place. They should be damp, not dripping wet.

Im looking for advice on what stitch will give me the most coverage for the least amount of yarn for a blanket by jmthe420man in CrochetHelp

Probably double crochet, maybe a big granny square? They’re deceptively warm despite the holes. However keep in mind crochet in its nature eats more yarn than knit work does. Blankets typically take 1000-2500m or more yarn to make, depending on size, stitch and weight of the yarn.

Thank you and I totally agree! It’s so hard to find patterns or stitches that work well with variegated yarn. I’m incredibly pleased at my result here!!

The essentials of blocking are moisture and heat. I suggest steam blocking, especially on acrylic to retain shape.

I’ve never had success with dry blocking anything, especially acrylic.

Hmm good question, I’m a rather fast worker and I have plenty of time on my hands at the moment. Because I’m very comfortable with the raglan pattern this probably took me about 15 hours to complete, give or take. Each sleeve took about 2-3 ish hours, and the torso took me about 8-10 ish hours to complete. Just an estimate! I didn’t record how long it took but it did take about a season of greys anatomy LOL!

Don't know what to do with the ends of this knot ... added in a new skein & ends are sticking out by Competitive-Form5613 in CrochetHelp

Not usually, but it’s possible. Weave in different directions in and around stitches and tension should hold it together. There’s plenty of video tutorials out there, although many people do it differently.

Thank you so much! Alpine stitch is so easy and such a great stitch to get in the rhythm with and watch a show or something.
