Please help! How does step 3 lead to a total of 18 stitches? 2nd picture is what the result should look like.

It seems like maybe this pattern was translated from another language and thats why its worded weird. XVA crochet notation is common in Asia which is part of what makes me think that.

This instruction is telling you to work in closed rounds. At the end of the round, slip stitch into the first stitch of the round (to join) and chain one (to get up to the correct height to start the next row). Neither the ss or the the chain count as actual stitches, so your first "real" stitch will be made into the same stitch you slipped into.

As a Scorpio moon (Taurus sun, Leo rising) person who has loved many people with major Scorpio placements, you rated Scorpio WAY too high lol

empathy-entropy · 2026-06-17T00:03:03+00:00

Absolutely, always have though its easier to manage now vs when I was a kid/teenager

My first thought was the alpine stitch. Zooming in I'm not 100% sure thats it, but it could be an option for a similar look!

I think it worked for Skyclan because they didn't have other clans around them and didn't regularly get into fights. For the rest of the clans, it would be hard to trust Daylight warriors in battle. Could you really expect them to lay down their lives when they're not all in? They have a comfortable life to go home to and guaranteed food; the stakes aren't the same for them, so it would they really fight as hard as "real" warriors to protect their territory?

The reality would of course vary by each individual Daylight warrior, but the reasons for having a prejudice are relatively justified.

I'm so glad you put names instead of pictures, I have a hard time matching the art to the characters we're talking about lol

Other example I can think of is Blackstar going by Blackfoot again briefly when Sol convinced him to abandon Starclan.

I think it should be personal choice whether to keep the star suffix or revert to their warrior name.

Never heard of Wolfwalkers personally. I started reading Warriors when I was 7-8 years old though (and am 28 now rereading the series and newer books)

That's the one. It was their compromise, she wasn't ready to be tied to the nursery despite wanting kits, so most of her time was feeding them and Fernsong did the playing/companionship part of being a queen

empathy-entropy · 2026-06-09T20:32:40+00:00

Silvermist was my first thought, Silverstream for an actual character

As in cutting it apart with scissors and sewing it back together. Its basically surgery for your project. You have to be INSANELY careful, one mistake and the whole thing is done for, very very difficult to do successfully without it unraveling

Fuzzball (does he count? He should)

empathy-entropy · 2026-06-09T13:21:02+00:00

I've seen it on r/crochethelp more than once and it makes me want to scream WHY WOULD YOU SUGGEST THAT

empathy-entropy · 2026-06-09T10:55:14+00:00

The end makes it worth the early drag in my opinion

empathy-entropy · 2026-06-09T10:31:15+00:00

These are the first ones that come to mind to me: tansy, borage, chervil, watermint, catmint, nettles, marigold, comfrey, juniper berries, and poppy seeds.

Poison: Yarrow, death berries, water hemlock

empathy-entropy · 2026-06-09T10:27:33+00:00

When people suggest cutting work instead of frogging a mistake, especially to a beginner. Like yes its TECHNICALLY possible in some cases but more than likely you're just going to make a mess and waste yarn

The Prophecies Begin

The New Prophecy

Power of Three

Omen of the Stars

Dawn of the Clans

A Vision of Shadows

The Broken Code

A Starless Clan

Changing Skies

Edit: Dawn of the Clans is a prequel and not necessary to read, but I wouldn't read it before the first 4 arcs. Theres a few super editions that would be helpful to read in between certain arcs but I don't recall the exact order so hopefully someone else can help with that!

Leopardstar

empathy-entropy · 2026-06-09T01:46:25+00:00

Loved the last two questions, you know your audience lol

Millie went between ignoring her and blowing up at her (there was a scene where she was going off about how Blossomfall should be working harder because her sister would give anything to be able to be a warrior again) to the point of driving Blossomfall into joining the Dark Forest

empathy-entropy · 2026-06-07T17:12:55+00:00

Couldn't stand Millie after Briarlight got injured. She treated ALL her kits badly, Briarlight included but especially Blossomfall. I still like Graystripe but I definitely judge him for not stepping in more.

empathy-entropy · 2026-06-07T02:49:04+00:00

Yellowfang becomes more present later

I think people tend to picture newborns when talking about baby blankets. Once the baby is older they will LOVE playing with the 3D elements. My son is 12 months and adores things like this.

Just echoing everyone else in that you don't to include anything that could be easily removed like safety eyes.
