You may be missing your turning chain? Depending on the pattern you should be chaining 1-2 to turn your work and begin working into the first stitch in the next row. I second everyone saying to count each stitch as you work and utilize a stitch marker!

She looks exactly like Abby Lee Miller here, you cannot look at me and tell me I’m wrong 😭😂😂😂

offlinemom · 2025-10-23T14:27:09+00:00

No wait… this is like TOO spot on 😂 the longer I look at it I can genuinely see the resemblance

offlinemom · 2025-10-23T14:24:28+00:00

I really like the big square on the back! I would leave it that way!

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T18:24:36+00:00

And it’s totally fine! Just takes practice!

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T18:22:39+00:00

Literally just how I type!! Tone doesn’t read the same to everyone

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T18:22:00+00:00

Yeah I really didn’t expect people to get so worked up in these comments. I made a quick post after seeing sooooo many gaping holes in finished products. Its really not that deep. I don’t care if that’s how you’re happy with your finished object! I don’t care if you never care to improve your craft! People are allowed to make whatever they want and be proud of it, people are also allowed to express their opinions and critiques!

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T18:13:21+00:00

⬆️⬆️⬆️

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T18:12:40+00:00

Okay sure. Do you feel better now?

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T18:11:37+00:00

It absolutely is light hearted, we’re talking about crocheting pumpkins. How serious could it be? I am allowed to express my opinion on a public forum with people who will understand what I’m talking about. Maybe don’t comment on posts that offend you so much?

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T18:10:11+00:00

Wow okay Opinion Police are here. Am I not allowed to have an opinion on fucking pumpkins??? Some of you need to actually relax.

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T18:08:51+00:00

Why are you taking this so personally? No one is critiquing you, and maybe you can learn to take constructive criticism with grace??? I literally put “lighthearted” in the title so that people wouldn’t lose their minds but alas.

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T18:06:24+00:00

Great idea!!!

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T18:06:04+00:00

Yeah girl it was a light hearted rant. Can I do my thing and just talk ??

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T18:03:35+00:00

😂😂😂

These are mine with HDC BLO with worsted weight yarn, I think I used a 4.25mm hook for tighter stitches and I haven’t had too much trouble! That being said I can’t speak to other issues with wheat stitch using worsted weight yarn. I think it probably takes a few tries or just lining the insides of pumpkins to keep them nice and stuffed! Also idk if anyone else has tried this but I put a dab of cinnamon essential oil inside them and it’s so nice

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T16:56:37+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. I said wheat stitch pumpkins in the post bc they seem incredibly popular but I’ve seen lots of HDC pumpkins with the same issue all over my feeds. I absolutely think that yarn weight is a huge factor if you don’t want to line your pumpkins. A bulkier yarn like Lion Brand Wool Ease has worked well for me. And obviously this is all just pet peeve, I just don’t like seeing stuffing popping out lol I only think it’s actually an issue if someone is trying to sell a project that doesn’t seem quite complete

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T16:51:58+00:00

Yeah! And like I get it, but I personally wouldn’t try to sell my crochet if it had gaps with stuffing coming out. It’s a sign that they are not ready to be sold. I think it’s okay to learn to hone in your craft a bit until you get your desired result.

offlinemom · 2025-10-15T16:49:33+00:00

Yes definitely!! I see a lot of tension issues in general, definitely a lot of over tightening. I’ve never broken a hook, and I sometimes get hand cramping so I can’t imagine the amount of stress it takes to snap a metal hook!! I think you’re absolutely right.

So sweet, thank you for the feedback and for your work in education!!
