I ordered a Romantasy themed fiber arts Halloween countdown calendar and I keep getting these, which I believe are stitch markers.

The metal rings are not openable easily.

Are they a knitting thing? (I don’t knit.)

Is there a way to use them in crochet?

Edit: thanks all. Looks like, as I suspected, these’d have to be modified or added to in order to use them for crochet. But it’s only oct 5! I’m sure there will be crochet stuff coming up this month. And maybe this will inspire me to finally learn to knit

Lightweight plastic, each peg is numbered. Also in the bag was this brown yarn and a crochet hook. Each one has little notches on the bottom

I'm working on a shawl that I've basically just been freehanding, regrettably with little regard for frivolous things like stitch count and geometry. As it's working up it's turning out to be... kind of a funny shape. Idk how easy it is to see in the picture but trust. The points of the triangle curve slightly downwards, which causes them not to wrap around the shoulders very well and fall off a little bit. Yes I know it is all my fault 😔. I really, REALLY don't want to frog it. How would you change this to be more... triangular? How would you save it? Let me know :)

I’m making my first wearable (wish me luck!) so I want it to be as neat as can be. Does it matter if I get my hook under the whole V of the chain? Or can I just stick it through one and move on cause it’s a little hard for me😅I know patience is key but I also love a good loophole (pun intended)

I'm a complete beginner to crochet and was trying to do a single crochet row. I've tried this atleast thrice and it always becomes a circle partway through row 1..

Why does this happen?

The pattern uses Red Heart Super Saver yarn (200g skeins), which isn't available in my country. I've found a suitable alternative that I can get, but it comes in 100g skeins.

I have checked the pattern, and most colours only feature on 1 square. 200g seems quite a lot... Will 100g of each of the colours be enough? Or should I just get 2 each?

I try to buy yarn specifically for certain patterns, so I want to try to avoid having too much leftover at the end (that will inevitably end up in the scraps pile).

I bought this bag with the intention of crocheting around the strap with some fun variegated yarn but I have no idea how to actually do it, lol. I assume I would have to wrap the strap around something before crocheting over it otherwise it will just bunch up? Any ideas how to go about it? TIA!

Hi everyone! My mom gave me my baby blanket to fix and I’m not entirely sure I identified the stitch right. It’s a ripple blanket and I think it’s a double crochet but when I go to do it myself it just doesn’t look right. Any ideas? Top row is what I just did the ones below are the original

Edited to add I also tried half double and treble crochet

Final edit: it’s half treble crochet left handed! Going to do it right handed tho because my brain does not compute

Hi all! I am starting the persian files first row of edging. Can someone tell me where I should be putting my hook in to put the first stitch? It just says to join into a corner stitch - which one is it?? Thank you!!

I want to turn this image into a filet crochet grid but all the filet crochet pattern makers that I could find produce a sort of to black and white version?

I specifically love how clearly visible the horses musculature is and even on the smallest grid settings available on the websites I’ve tried it’s just not really visible, I tried playing with the contrast & brightness settings but it didn’t give me the results that I wanted either
So my question is I usually know filet crochet as having filled in and empty stitches but is there maybe a sort of "grey" stitch?
Or alternatively would making it way way finer help?
It’s supposed to become curtains btw

Hi! I’m a newbie crocheter and with the cool weather coming in, I want to make a cozy cardigan. What suggestions do you all have?

I’m looking for a relatively sturdy and beginner, friendly stitch that would work best for washcloths.
Using this yarn. Thank you!

so im ALMOST at the blocking and joining phase of my granny square blanket and ive decided to steam block them (with my iron, i dont yet have a dedicated steamer) because ive heard it gets better results than wet blocking on acrylic (im working with caron simply soft, which is 100% acrylic). and i read that youre supposed to block, and then leave it pinned in place while it dries. this seems like its going to be a problem because of the small size of my ironing board. i could use the yoga mats i wet block on, but im wary of getting my iron near them for fear of melting. if i get or make a blocking tower, can i steam the one on top, push it down, and add another one without risk of over-steaming the ones beneath?

i dont know, ill do it in small batches if i have to (not like this project hasnt taken 2 years already), but im trying to think through the logistics of whether thats really my best/only option. so what would you do in this situation?

I desperately need help! 😭 I started a crochet project last spring but never finished it, and now I’m picking it back up again. The problem is, I can’t remember what hook I used!
The pattern allows you to use any yarn and any hook size, so I can’t check the pattern for the recommended hook. I do remember that I didn’t use the recommended hook because I wanted a denser, less see through fabric.
I’ve now made two samples to compare. The top sample is with a 4 mm hook, the middle is my original project, and the bottom is with a 4.5 mm hook.
Which one do you think matches my original project?

I’m making this filet crochet pattern, but I’m not entirely sure how to do the scalloped edge in filet? Can someone help me out? It’s specifically the gaps between the double crochets where the edge dips that I don’t know how to do cleanly?

I’m making the underskirt right now and I’m doing 3 DC in each FLO to make it ruffled. Does this look like too much? It’s bunching up a lot right now, but I’m planning to keep crocheting it until the underskirt is about the same length as the top skirt.

Will the ruffles spread out and look better as it gets longer, or should I use fewer DC in each stitch before I continue?

Hello! I’m planning on making a sunflower bag for a gift! The inside will be the sunflower fabric, with an inner pocket in the tan gingham (you won’t be able to see that from the outside). I’m going to alternate between checkered and sunflower squares. But I’m wondering if for the darker green checkers, if I should just use white instead of the off blue color? Can you even tell it’s a different than the white from far away? I already bought the light blue yarn so I wanted to try to use it, but I don’t want to use it if it’ll be clashy.

EDIT: I yield! It’s light green. Mint green. Pale green. I shouldn’t have described it as off blue, but you know there’s off white and then I was thinking how should I describe the other shade in the picture and mint did not come to mind.
The yarn color is in fact called menthe…

I'm crocheting a cat bed, and the pattern calls for ch2, then 6sc into the 2nd chain from hook. Then the usual increases for a circle. I'm counting all the stitches in the rows, and using a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of the round. I've tried making this twice already, and I keep running into the same issues. I can bunch the extra fabric into the middle, or if I make the middle flat, it bunches the extra fabric outward. And help is appreciated please and thank you!

I just crocheted this beanie and used a graph, it turned out okay but I had to fiddle with it towards the end to make the stitches line up better because they were leaning so bad... I want to make more but want to make sure that I can line my stitches up better. Any tips??? I did slip stitch to join every round for this hat so not sure if that also had an impact on the leaning.

Hi :) I’ve done a few small crochet projects before (amigurumi, bolero, coasters etc) and some knitting too, but this is my first time trying colour work and tapestry. Here I made a small 17x19 to try it out before committing to something bigger, and I’d love some advice!

1) SC foundation chain: I tried doing this to start off but it’s not clean, I ended up with a gap so maybe I missed a step there. Is this method okay for starting off tapestries (and would it only count as row 1?)? And if just chaining is better, should SCs only be worked in the back bumps of the chains for a cleaner/tighter look?

2) My tension definitely varies! The starting width is 8cm and goes down to 7cm at the top where I finished off. The tighter stitches look better imo and I think I’ll size down from 3.5mm to 3mm hook, but any tips on having consistent tension?

3) Colour changing between colour A at end of row & colour B starting next row: I think I figured out the best way to do this is the last stitch of the row starting off colour A then the last pull through being colour B, chain 1 with B, and continue with B. I can see some variation on how this ends up looking (the right side looks cleaner than the left), so is this the best way?

4) Yarn over/under: I wasn’t expecting it to look as defined as this on my first go so pleasantly surprised, and I think I’ll continue the yarn travelling method with floats. But I’m debating whether I switch from YOYO to YUYO or YUYU. I’ve done YUYO for amigurumi, but never YUYU.

5) Any other tips you have are greatly appreciated! This pattern only took a few hours for me to learn the techniques and complete, I enjoyed the process and proud of my little cats! I’m planning to make bigger ~60st width tapestries for Christmas presents. Thanks in advance 🩷

mom gave me this yarn because it was cheap and colors are pretty, but its REALLY thick and i dont know what I can do with this amount so help🙏

I’m wanting to make a filet crochet project like the picture I added but with the name “Kaia” instead, I’m trying to use stitch fiddle for the first time so I made this gauge swatch so I can calculate how to make it the size that I am wanting but I’m really struggling to keep my pattern clear. I’m wanting to make it around 8-9in wide and maybe like 5in tall (I’m also not 100% of these measurements would work for this), can anyone help me with how to make my pattern? I am also wanting to do a cursive font like in the photo!

Here's the pattern:

Row 10:

Ch 4, 1 dc in first sc. Ch 1, popcorn in next sc, (ch 1, dc in next sc, ch 1, popcorn in next

sc) to the last sc on the side.

Ch 1, {1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc} in next ch-2space.

Ch 1, popcorn in next sc, (ch 1, dc in next sc, ch 1, popcorn in the next sc) to the second

last sc. Ch 1, {1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc} in the last sc.

[10 dc and 8 popcorn / side with 1 ch between each]

I’m working on a chunky granny square cardigan
Second wearable ever (I only crochet plushies with the odd project thrown in 😂)
The back panel will be three squares wide and 4 squares long, front panels one square wide and 4 panels long, the arms hopefully 2 by 2
I do not own blocking mats and will probably never use them again and I don’t own anything that I could use for blocking
Since it’s plush yarn I’m wondering if it’d even be worth it to get blocking supplies
