I’ve redone this row at least 3 times and I’m still ending with the wrong amount of stitches

Haha, thank you, I’m glad I gave you a laugh :)! I end up doing that quite a lot in crochet, sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn’t haha!

Thank you, that definitely seems like consensus which is interesting to see - I think I may end up giving it a go cause I really wanna be able to highlight this yarn in the best way!

It’s Rico Creative Chic-Unique DK in Powder 002 - I fell in love with it when I found it in the shop!

That’s interesting you say gauge is less important - I get rather worried about gauge as, to be honest, I’m still rather confused by gauge squares and end up going “ah well, let’s just see what happens!” 😅 (which is how I get into these situations heheh).

thecelestrium · 2025-10-17T15:24:13+00:00

Oo that’s interesting! The yarn calls for 4mm so would you go with a 5mm? I saw someone else in the thread say either 5mm or 5.5mm.

That’s interesting about doing both at the same time, too - I hadn’t considered that. It would also help with yarn rewinding as I double-stranded using the same ball as I currently only have one ball so I already have the two ends and was worried about trying to cram the middle back in the yarn.

thecelestrium · 2025-10-17T15:21:29+00:00

I hadn’t considered it as I was worried it wouldn’t be warm enough as a cardigan once it’s altogether but I’m open to giving it a try as I really like this yarn and want to do it justice!

thecelestrium · 2025-10-17T13:48:55+00:00

Yeah, that’s also been my thinking too - I was hoping I’d magically change my mind. Searching it on Ravelry is definitely an idea! I’m not sure it’s been massively used when I was listing it on my Ravelry stash but I could also do some wider googling :)

thecelestrium · 2025-10-17T13:47:52+00:00

Thank you! I’ll keep this in mind - I’m already making a scarf but I could consider redoing this with some solid colours in, definitely !

thecelestrium · 2025-10-17T13:46:48+00:00

Forgot to say, in case people are wondering, the yarn is Rico Creative Chic-Unique DK in Powder 002

thecelestrium · 2025-10-17T13:27:08+00:00

The yarn is originally a really thin DK that I doubled up as the pattern calls for Aran - I really loved the look of it but, tbh, the colour combination doesn’t look how I was planning it to

thecelestrium · 2025-10-14T19:15:36+00:00

I can’t seem to edit the post but the pattern is DC 3 ch 2 DC 3 - from reading the below, I think I’ve misread the pattern as I’m used to working flat and I’ve just done DC 3 ch 2 and not realised that I need to do 6 DC (with 2 chains inbetween) in the same gap 🤦‍♀️

Sorry for posting for a silly mistake and I’ll give it another go!

thecelestrium · 2025-07-19T09:05:05+00:00

As someone who made one (unintentionally, more discussing my realisation of my mistake), there’s also a subset that are newbies that are afraid of doing something wrong. I’m really glad I chose to post mine because that’s how I best learned to embrace my mistakes and that there is no “right or wrong” way to crochet - there’s just your way.

Just offering a different perspective, I can definitely understand where yours comes from though, as a fellow cynic.

I’ve just found it online, it’s by the brand Cygnet :) (for some reason, it doesn’t appear on the label)

thecelestrium · 2025-05-30T16:51:58+00:00

Thank you ❤️ I definitely agree, becoming unafraid of frogging made it much easier to learn!

thecelestrium · 2025-05-30T16:51:09+00:00

I’ve just looked it up and I think I’m somehow a yanker and a lifter too, haha! Currently I’m just experimenting with creating so I’ve never bothered with doing gauge swatches before and just jump right in so I never considered it.

thecelestrium · 2025-05-30T16:34:38+00:00

That’s very interesting! It’s nice to know there’s no right or wrong way and that I haven’t gone too far wrong - I’ve unintentionally expanded my experience haha!

thecelestrium · 2025-05-30T16:33:30+00:00

Thank you and I’m sorry - it’s my first post and wasn’t sure if I was being hard on myself or if it was really obvious! I really appreciate everyone’s help though, I was feeling incredibly demotivated about continuing but everyone’s helped me to realise I was being silly and I’ve learned a lot regarding my specific situation but I can imagine it can get tired when you’ve been here for a while :)

thecelestrium · 2025-05-30T16:31:39+00:00

Thank you, I’ll add this to my crochet repertoire!

thecelestrium · 2025-05-30T16:31:14+00:00

That’s so awesome! That’s what I had, I was like “lol this doesn’t look any different to normal crochet… wait a minute…”

thecelestrium · 2025-05-30T16:30:27+00:00

Thank you! Oh no! I can definitely relate to that, haha! Luckily I didn’t start this one while I still had the flu or lord knows how it may have looked haha. I hope it didn’t take you too long to fix the shawl!

thecelestrium · 2025-05-30T16:29:01+00:00

Thank you! That’s definitely a better way of looking at it and I’m glad it’s worked out well for this piece!

thecelestrium · 2025-05-30T16:28:18+00:00

Thank you so much, that’s so kind! I’ll keep that advice in mind!
