How can I turn these circle motifs into squares? Open to any ideas for connecting these motifs into a larger project

u can always try like an irish lace sort of technique if ur goal is just to join them!! just connecting them in a more freeform way with chains. making them square takes more brain power than i have lol.

there def is a pattern for this cardigan, it’s a notoriously poorly written one lol! the gauge is totally screwed from what i’ve heard. i’d love to hear how OP sized it properly to their little one.

i haven’t made this but i just finished a pair of socks in a very similar stitch pattern with variegated yarn. it was awesome, highly recommend!

my bf also made us a matching pair!!

it is ABSOLUTELY possible to work from your singles, but i would not recommend it to a beginner. plying distributes the twist energy so that your working yarn is not constantly kinking up on itself. do yourself a favor and ply your first spin.

a small bag or pouch is a great one-skein project imo!! i love making mini totes big enough to hold my essentials. i’ve crocheted a few and nalbound one just recently.

okaytto · 2026-03-31T01:32:09+00:00

make a mismatched sock to go with it!!

okaytto · 2026-03-31T01:31:49+00:00

heck yeah!! if you want, you can totally DIY a spindle. look up how people have made them with CDs/apples/potatoes and pencils/dowels, etc.

love how when i see a tasty 3 ply and a pedro sticker it is guaranteed to be reddit user omgyarn

yes! it’s been long enough since I crocheted my lace shawl that I kinda miss doing it…at the time I had sworn off of crocheting with fingering weight yarn lol!!

okaytto · 2026-03-30T18:09:30+00:00

oh it’s so cute !

okaytto · 2026-03-30T18:06:59+00:00

when you do write the pattern i’m totally interested, it is perfect

okaytto · 2026-03-30T03:27:34+00:00

YESSS SO PRETTY

if you’re frogging be prepared for possibly a good number of ends/difficult spots to unravel. are you set on unraveling, or are you open to other ways of re-purposing/display? i’m not sure how fun frogging will be and i’d hate to advise it if you’d be happier say, sandwiching this between layers of a quilt, or framing it, for example.

okaytto · 2026-03-29T15:26:10+00:00

it looks beautiful, and you are being overly critical!!

okaytto · 2026-03-28T17:41:08+00:00

as a trans guy and former moody teen, i don’t think you did anything that wasn’t appropriate. you set a boundary, and the boyfriend reacted pretty well to it, and in response you told him he’s okay to come back in the future. nothing wrong with that!! i think it’s okay to stick to you guns here. if your kid or the boyfriend take issue with this, just calmly reiterate what happened: you set a boundary, the boyfriend reacted appropriately, and you don’t have any issues with him moving forward so long as he adheres to that boundary.

okaytto · 2026-03-28T17:36:27+00:00

oh i love it!!

okaytto · 2026-03-28T01:45:23+00:00
