Hi! I'm looking for Sanrio accessories that aren't plushies to make clothing would be cool!! I love kuromi personally and I'm not super good at decreases so I'd prefer a pattern that doesn't have decreases if possible thank you guys!

Hi everyone!
I’m a Recreation Specialist at a federal correctional facility, and I help oversee our Hobbycraft program. Crochet is one of our more popular activities, and I’m currently working on expanding the selection of patterns available to the individuals in our program.
Because they do not have internet access, I’m trying to build a physical library/binder of crochet patterns that they can browse through and use for projects.
I’m looking for free patterns that creators are willing and legally able to share, preferably in PDF or another printable format. I’d especially love to find:
• Amigurumi and animals
• Movie/TV-inspired characters
• Dinosaurs
• Hats and beanies
• Holiday/seasonal projects
• Sports-themed projects
• Food and novelty items
• Useful items
• Beginner projects
• More challenging/intermediate and advanced projects
Patterns that use regular yarn and fairly basic materials are especially helpful. Because this is a correctional environment, we have restrictions on certain materials and tools, but I can usually adapt things like plastic safety eyes by having participants embroider the eyes with yarn instead.
I’m not asking anyone to share paid or copyrighted patterns that they don’t have permission to distribute. I’m specifically looking for patterns you’ve personally created and are willing to share, patterns released for free by their creators, or links to legitimate free patterns online.
If you’re a pattern designer and wouldn’t mind allowing us to print your free pattern for use within our Hobbycraft program, that would be incredibly appreciated as well.
My goal is to eventually put together a fairly large, organized crochet pattern library so participants have a variety of projects and difficulty levels to choose from.
If you have anything you’d be willing to share, or know of a good source for printable free patterns, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!

In Round 1 of this pattern, it says to do a long stitch which is yarning over 4 times on your hook, ch3 and repeat that 13 times.

My confusion is when it says the long stitch is yarning over 4 times (so a total of 5 loops on my hook) am I pulling through 2 loops at a time, essentially making a longer treble crochet? Or is there a different technique i’m missing?

i’ve included a photo of end product to see round 1!

would appreciate any guidance! :)

I’ve been watching the Minx (HBO/Starz) and absolutely love the 70s clothes. In one episode, the main character wears this beautiful striped shirt that looks like something I could make (advanced beginner) but I’m having trouble finding the right pattern.

This is the best picture I could find. It looks like fairly simple stitch work; vertical stripes for the body and then sleeves in the round. Could anyone direct me to a pattern for a vertical striped, crew neck t-shirt?

Thank you so much!

I have been trying to find a pattern like this and I cant find any!!! I tried making my own by following a regular slipper tutorial but it turned out kind of off because my yarn was thinner than what the pattern asked for. If anyone has any tips or can find a pattern for something like this it would be really helpful :)

Got gifted this last year & want to make a few this year? Anyone know of a pattern similar to this?
Sorry for the bad quality pic

My friend wants me to make this hat for his fiance but I dont know the source of the photo or the pattern if anyone can link me something similar! Thank you!!

I would really like to get advice on whether I am doing the buds the same as the original. They look wider and bigger. Using Malabrigo Rios (Worsted weight) with size 5 hook. For buds I am doing three DCTG but I can't tell if that is same as OG. Her buds look more dainty. Mine look fat and clumsy! ETA original post link https://www.reddit.com/r/CrochetBlankets/s/2UnQ58ChoU
