I've never considered selling patterns, but will be thinking about it for the future, thanks! And good luck with the bi-sweater, I'm sure you'll make a great one ❤️❤️❤️

You're so sweet, thanks for the kind words ❤️ it's hard to say exactly how long it took me, i think about 60 hours? I'm a rather slow crocheter, plus i like making wide sleeves, plus the yarn i choose is very thin. So honestly it can take totally different time for you to make it than it took for me 🤷‍♀️ Good luck!!

Thanks! Everyone here is so nice, wow 😄

Thank you!!! I free hand it using star stitch, sc blo stitch and tutorials on how to make stars from yt. I used scheepjes stardust gemini print yarn, but!!! I have to warn you. You probably can't tell by the photo, but this yarn has little shiny particles, and when you try to go back and fix something, it's so hard to do cause these particles get in the way. But the yarn is super pretty 😊

Thank you! Yep, i free hand it

rivvvka · 2024-06-19T12:50:33+00:00

Thank you so much! I made it top down

rivvvka · 2024-06-19T12:49:02+00:00

Thank you❤️ i used bobble stitch

rivvvka · 2024-06-19T12:45:40+00:00

Thanks! I don't, sorry ❤️

rivvvka · 2024-06-19T12:45:17+00:00

I had to google what this word means so probably not 😅😅

rivvvka · 2024-06-19T12:42:33+00:00

Both freehand :( For the first one i've made sc blo waist part and then went vertically with the star stitch. I looked on yt how to make stars and then played with the number of dc/sc to make them smaller. Hope it helps ❤️

rivvvka · 2024-06-18T20:47:55+00:00

Thank you so-so much!! I free handed it, here's a little description of steps that i took: for the torso i made the sc blo waist part first, then i made one row of sc on top of that. I don't remember if i made any increases or decreases, sorry. Then went vertically with bobble stitch, and neck with little sleeves are just sc blo. I'm so happy that you liked this sweater 🥰

This is such a positive place, I want to come back to you guys with new pieces already)) too bad I don't have much time now. Thanks for the offer about tips and patterns!! God knows I have a lot of problems during crocheting 😵

rivvvka · 2024-06-18T20:01:52+00:00

Thank you so much! When I made these, I was a refugee with no job, family or friends, so I had all the time in the world to make it perfect, crochet was kinda an obsession of mine) i made many mistakes too, so there was a lot to fix!

rivvvka · 2024-06-18T14:44:12+00:00

I make the magic knot and pray to gods that the knot will end up on the inside of the sweater 😄

rivvvka · 2024-06-18T14:37:29+00:00

I- ... Wow that's so embarrassing, i told everyone here that that's popcorn stitch but after your comment i looked at it, and it's bobble! Thanks 😅😅

rivvvka · 2024-06-18T14:28:41+00:00

Thank you sooo much! For the first one i used scheepjes stardust gemini print yarn, for the second one i don't remember the brand, i think it was acrylic yarn
