Crochet Resources Masterlist

So, when I first started crocheting, I would have killed to have a masterlist of resources, so I’m gonna make one. Hopefully there will be some helpful links in here for people. This is by no means a complete list, but hopefully it’ll help get y’all started.

Crocheters - can you help me out with some terminology? I want to be able to make a two-colour piece, like doing stranded colourwork (e.g. Fairisle) in knitting, for the side of a stuffie. But I'm not sure what terms to use to search for instructions. I keep getting stuff like how to change colours in general, which would be lovely if I wanted stripes, but I don't want stripes, I specifically want to check if there's anything I need to know before I try carrying colours, because I'm doing 2sc at a time per colour. (Ideally I'd actually be doing this more like a cross between intarsia and stranded work, because I have two columns with colours at the sides, and a large solid block in between.)

Don't currently know how to crochet, but will try to learn soon and I really want to make a shark jester opossum, would they work out together or would it not work

Oh yeah, it would work well. You would basically make a jester Posm, but replace the tail with the shark tail, and add fins.

If you're a complete beginner, I recommend HappyBerry Crochet's YouTube channel, as that channel got me started on crocheting 7 years ago! Of course, this is just what worked for me. Other tutorials may work better for you, but I highly recommend this channel. Here is the link to her beginner tutorials:

I also have some simpler patterns for free on my website, they consist of a baby posm crochet pattern and a worm on a string crochet pattern (the worm one even has a video tutorial!) Here is the link to that if you're interested:

Thank you for choosing Nichet Crochet! I hope your crochet journey goes well.

calling crochet tumblr...

this looks like the easiest thing ever to make, but I don't feel like I have a good enough grasp on the theory of crochet to do it correctly by winging it... could anyone give me some tips on how I might be able to crochet this beanie???

failed prototype #1

[image ID: three photos of a hand holding a bright orange crocheted object. The object is shaped roughly like a lemon; it has two narrow ends and a much wider middle part. Two safety eyes have been stuck on in the middle. The photos show a front, top, and side view. End ID.]

trying to make a crocheted Mallow (from Super Mario RPG). I’ve never made a freehand amigurumi before, but I cannot find a pattern of Mallow to save my danged life, so I guess I’m on my own for this one. Since this is just a prototype, I’m using orange because that’s just a color I happen to have a lot of; once I’m happy with the shape I’ll actually use white/cream yarn for the real deal. (Also, this isn’t stuffed because I didn’t want to bother wasting the filling; the real thing will be stuffed.)

pictured below: the goal (description in alt)

I’m not happy with this one yet! I think he looks like a lemon and not like a cloud. I’m going to have to try to figure out how to make the side parts wider while still not just making it a cylinder of uniform width (it’s gotta have different chunks to get the right puffy shape). Freehand crochet is hard!

next thing I’m going to try is just the same thing again with a more aggressive increase/decrease schedule at the appropriate parts. If that still doesn’t look good then I’m going to try making the three parts individually and sewing them together to make the shape.

any advice would be welcome! That would include specific advice on how to do this shape or links to where I can find a dang Mallow pattern.

Learn how to read written crochet patterns

Okay so I haven't made any posts since that first "maybe I'm coming back" post lol. But here's a post!!

All december I've been making videos for my new Youtube series teaching people how to read written crochet patterns. I know a ton of people learned crochet via youtube over the last couple of years, but haven't moved beyond video tutorials, so I thought this was a good place for me to start making videos!

None of the videos teach HOW to crochet, only how to read patterns. I've been utilizing my older, free patterns, and rewriting them (big time improvements) for people to follow along with while watching the videos. There's no hand holding from me, you just gotta get in there!

I've made 4 videos so far and I'm planning to make 2-4 more. Haven't decided entirely yet! You can view all 4 of them here.

One of the videos is for my tiny pumpkin earrings. :)

But yeah, go check it out (and tell your friends)! And please subscribe to me on youtube :)

Changing color in Tunisian Crochet is a fun way to add visual interest to your projects and add a new skill to your crafty toolkit. In this tutorial, you will learn these 3 techniques:

1. Change color on alternating rows

2. Change color in the same row

3. Create blocks of color by changing yarn color in the middle of a row

Can you give me a crochet pattern for a pair of nice gloves? I've got all this yarn and my hands are really cold.

If you have never crocheted before, here's a very quick guide:

1. Get some yarn

2. Put your right hand in front of the left hand, making a loop with the first 2 fingers of your right hand at the base of your left thumb.

3. Wrap yarn around left hand to make a double chain. You should have one loop from finger to finger.

4. Wrap yarn around right hand to make the other double chain. You should have two loops.

5. Make a magic loop by connecting both chains into a loop.

6. Grab your needle with your right hand and pull a loop through the magic loop.

6a. Make sure it's pulled tight against the needle

7. Keep going.

8. You will eventually make a magic loop and pull through it with your needle. It will be the first loop that's created on the needle that will ever be created on the needle. That loop will be the one that comes next in the pattern.

7a. If you ever run out of yarn, just put the needle down and pick up some more! (This is a big part of why I recommend buying one of these little plastic bobbin-style bags of yarn for your yarn, rather than just buying a normal-sized bag and filling it up at the end. The point of this whole exercise is to have just a very small amount of yarn lying around for when you get low, and the bag will allow you to have a tiny bit of yarn sitting in the bag waiting for you.)

8a. I'm assuming that your magic loop is the first loop created when you are done with a particular round of your pattern

9. And now, on to the first round of your pattern: if you are doing the pattern where you start with a magic loop, that magic loop will still be there at the end of the row. If you are not, then you will have two loops, one at the start and one at the end of the row. If you are not sure whether you have a magic loop or not, try to remember to check. For example, by making sure you are using a color that should only be used as the first loop, and checking that there is a double chain in the first step.

9a. If you lose the magic loop somehow, you may have to do a round or two of magic loops again until you finally get it back on the needle

10. Keep going with the pattern. You're going to want to work pretty tightly. If you notice that the first loop you make on your needle is too big, you can always cut the first loop off, and then it will be a magic loop instead.

11. It's now very important to check your loops.

11a. If one of the loops is loose, but the yarn is still in the loop, you have made it. Check your loops to see if you have missed one, or if you have accidentally pulled the yarn out the wrong hole.

11b. If you have found a hole in your work, this is a time-waster, and you have lost a few minutes that you could have been using to make progress on your project. Just go back and fix your mistake. It's not a big deal!

12. Be careful not to pull all your loops off at once. They shouldn't be taut, but a little slack is okay. Your stitches should not be too small, and if they are, fix them by picking out a stitch. You will need to do this in both knit and crochet, depending on which you are working.

12a. Pick out a single strand of yarn. You will then want to work a knit-purl stitch or a purl-knit stitch with the single strand:

Knit purl means to purl with one of the legs of a knit stitch. You are working a knit stitch where the leg from the back is picked up with a knit stitch, and the leg from the front is used as the leg of a purl.

12b. You are basically going to have to knit the leg of the purl and then purl the leg of the knit together. Knit-purl stitch, or purl-knit stitch. If the leg of the knit stitch is on top, and you are knitting, the leg of the purl stitch will be on top. If it's the other way around, you will purl the leg of the knit first, and then knit the leg of the purl together.

13. Keep working in whatever pattern you are working. This is important.

14. Check your work every round, and you will notice that your work is no longer the same texture or size as it was. You may want to make your stitches a little tighter or looser, or change yarn colors. (I have never actually changed yarn colors while crocheting.)

14a. Make whatever adjustments you feel are necessary until your work looks the way you want it to look.

14b. Check your work. If you want to make a lace pattern, you might notice that there are more rows than there were when you started. In crochet that's called "casting off," and it is very simple: you just knit two stitches to form a knot. Then you work a row to get rid of the cast-off stitches. If you ever do it right the first time, this will result in a lace pattern. If you are not sure whether you have cast off the last stitch or not, just knit the last stitch and then try to work your way down to the stitch just after that one. It will always result in a lace pattern in the end. You can't miss it.

15. This is just my advice. Feel free to ignore it.

15a. If you want to know what you are doing, it helps to write down every stitch you make, every time. That way, you can look at the rows you made and try to figure out how many stitches you made each round and what the gauge is.

15b. Sometimes it is not obvious what you are doing. (I would not be surprised to find out that there are people doing a really simple pattern who don't realize that it's too simple and they have to go back and change something.) There are really two ways to proceed:

1. You may be able to work it out yourself. If you start a new project, start over and start at the beginning, or at a different point.

2. If you're having difficulty, just google the name of the pattern or ask a friend. If you don't see what you're doing, they might see it for you.
