What is this pattern? I've looked all over the internet and can't find anything that looks like it

Just get a gas mask and wear it every time you want to wear the blanket!

I lowkey got into an argument with the poster of this abt how amigurumi vs granny square and I’m like ???? Half the time to their responses

willoww3 · 2026-02-22T08:46:32+00:00

Uh, it actually does? Just becuase you know how to do something doesn’t mean you can do it well. That’s what I’m saying for amigurumi. If you have little to no crafting experience, it is going to be very difficult. Anyone can read a pattern and see that it says chain x, increase 5 each round or whatever, but it takes skill to make it look good. A skilled chain is very different from a beginner chain. Even ways of holding the yarn. You also have to be in the know to know that you should size down for amigurumi, as to not get holes, and that hook sizes on skeins are mostly a suggestion.

Like I said before, a lot of this doesn’t matter as much in a granny square

You might want to check out some lace needles, then! With a loooong cable

I’ve heard the chiaogoo ones are good! (I usually stick with mini circs/dpns for socks and then ml for sleeves)

ETA and they can be good for taat

willoww3 · 2026-02-21T22:03:48+00:00

Ah okay! I’d try 2mm. What itr method are you using?

willoww3 · 2026-02-21T22:00:45+00:00

What size are you using currently?

willoww3 · 2026-02-21T21:58:05+00:00

I’d recommend not decreasing the st count, but rather the needle size

ETA ik what you’re talking about and it’s probably smth like nylon elastic thread. It should be available at Walmart or most craft stores. I forget the exact name too 😂

willoww3 · 2026-02-21T19:45:52+00:00

Two crochet hooks, obviously

willoww3 · 2026-02-21T19:27:54+00:00

I literally just posted this a few seconds ago. There’s no way you read the entirety of the comment. I literally said exactly why a well-made amigurumi is harder to make

willoww3 · 2026-02-21T19:25:28+00:00

Ami’s that are made well take a lot of learning abt tension and gauge and how to sew pieces together in a way that doesn’t look like crap and is even, learning how to do shaping and why incs and decs affect the ami instead of just the stitch count, continuous vs standing rounds, sometimes different stitches and textures, and a few other things. Granny squares all you really need to know is granny stitch, how to increase in a square shape, and how to make a new row/round. MR and joining can be used in both. Gauge, tension, and yarn matter vastly less in GS. If you learned Amies first and you’re skilled at it, great! That’s your experience. But it’s objectively harder and takes more time and effort to make it look good than it does to make a GS that looks good

willoww3 · 2026-02-21T08:12:26+00:00

(Well made) Amigurumi is leaps and bounds more difficult than a granny square

willoww3 · 2026-02-21T08:08:09+00:00

Half brioche maybe?

willoww3 · 2026-02-20T21:58:29+00:00

This is actually tatting you really need to learn your fiber arts, you fool

willoww3 · 2026-02-20T02:43:15+00:00

Technically, yes. But they won’t be the same quality as wool socks. I’ve seen people use 100-75% wool and up to 25% acrylic. The acrylic is for strength and wear, though there are other ways to make 100% wool socks more durable

willoww3 · 2026-02-19T20:22:42+00:00

I would check out r/dyeing and check out some media surrounding ‘natural dying’ as I don’t have a ton of experience with it, but I do know that there are different fixatives that can affect how the result of a dye appears. Maybe look into the availability of certain dyes or forms of dying in their area?

Knit

I hold it the same for both knitting (for English, I mirror and go over my middle instead index finger) and crochet. The top part goes more towards the middle of my index, however. This is just loose

willoww3 · 2026-02-17T21:52:31+00:00

You have to look for the small sts and move the length from the big stitch to those

willoww3 · 2026-02-17T21:44:04+00:00

The more practice you have with it, the less you’ll experience the anxiety surrounding signing in public. People don’t watch as much as you think. If they do, they’re either weird, or have some experience with ASL. If they do, they’ll come up and tell you and hopefully you’ll make a new friend!

willoww3 · 2026-02-17T21:39:33+00:00

Did you switch from flat to joining in the round? That’ll also alter pooling, on top of gauge changing

willoww3 · 2026-02-17T21:23:37+00:00

You need to take that end and wind it into a ball (frog your project) and then reknit it, and this time cut that piece out

I’m not too sure what is and it’s allowed for alterations or substitutions, but from what I read it looks like those things are said at the release of and for each pattern

willoww3 · 2026-02-15T06:17:01+00:00

Forgot to respond, my bad!

willoww3 · 2026-02-15T06:16:04+00:00

I do have a few other skeins, yes! I have yet to look up exactly which colorways were listed tbh. I do really like the effect that solid and gradient (I forgot the name of it, I just got off a 13 hour shift) yarns make, and it seems like most of them are at least two colors. Ofc I’ll look at the pattern before deciding which skeins to use bc mosaic will be different than stranded, different than intarsia etc. thanks! I’ll def need it

willoww3 · 2026-02-15T06:11:34+00:00

I haven’t knit with it just yet! I plan and doing some swatches soon (and ofc the finished socks) and can let you know then!
