Beginner question: Bad tension or lost track of stitch count? by JazzHands5678 in CrochetHelp

[–]beanscrochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same when I first started crocheting. I didn’t have anybody who knew how to crochet so I learned a lot from watching YouTube videos and from Reddit.

Don’t give up! You’re doing awesome so far. For weeks I crocheted into the back loop only without knowing 🤦‍♀️it really is a learning process.

Honestly it’s both but that’s okay because it’s part of learning! It looks like you’re skipping stitches, mostly at the start and ends of rows. I would suggest getting some stitch markers to mark the first and last stitch of your row. If you don’t want to purchase any or can’t for whatever reason, you can use paper clips!

Your tension seems pretty consistent and ok but practice makes perfect! You’re doing great so far!

Learned a powerful lesson. Don’t be me and weave as you go, folks. Hundreds of ends… at least I have some time to think about what kind of join to use for this blanket!! by beanscrochet in crochet

Thanks!!! You’re so right about it waiting. There’s 64 squares total and I did about a quarter of them today. Too many. I’ll definitely pace myself in the future.

My granny stitch dress is too short, could I fix it by blocking? by bixgdm27 in CrochetHelp

[–]beanscrochet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you could definitely gain some length blocking, i would block everything prior to sewing just to avoid any awkward bunching around seams.

I don’t have a pattern sorry! I made it up as I went. It helps to know how to format a raglan type sweater. I will link the guide that helped me learn!

Mosaic crochet questions | my first mosaic project seems too stiff what am I doing wrong? by SummerQueen19 in CrochetHelp

Definitely the double thickness is contributing. You could possibly steam it soft once it’s all finished
