#beginner crochet pattern

[sarahdawnsdesigns]

For this (slightly belated, but I won't tell if you don't) Free Pattern Friday, we delve into the world of crochet with the beginner-friendly Chevron Stitch Hood and Scarf. This scarf uses only two stitches and a teeny bit of seaming, and creates a beginner-friendly project that's far more interesting then the usual dishcloths and granny squares.

Plus, it's adjustable to the amount of yarn you have, and works up well in stripes, too, if you want to use up some leftover yarn!

You can find the pattern for free on Patreon at the link above, (no login required) or on Ravelry!

I would describe my crochet abilities as "intermediate"...

...but BOY OH BOY the joy and pride I felt at finishing this little friend. 🐍❤️😎🪽

Yes (flips hair) I painted the eyes myself.

crochet hook case [part 1]

I decided to exercise my independence and choose an project to do outside the classes. I decided for this crochet hook case, and honestly, I was planning just follow the tutorial, but something happened in the middle of the process.

First of all, I noticed why and how tension is something very important in crochet. Also, now I think crochet is a mix of technique and self-knowledge.

When I posted these pictures at crochet community, talking about the difference in hook size, someone told me that most of the projects indicates the hook size we should use, and this is tottaly true BUT according to my two cents' worth of experience (I've only been learning to crochet for a week), it means absolutely nothing if I don't know how my own crochet works.

What I mean is: when people are creating a tutorial, they will use what suits them, the way they are used to crocheting. But, obviously, we're different people and I'm going to have a different tension, so I'll need to adjust the materials I use.

If my stitches are too tight, I'll naturally need a bigger hook; if they're too loose, a smaller hook. And if I don't know that, my work will be fan-shaped or curled up.

Yes, that's a complaint. I followed everything perfectly, undid and redid it several times because the base wouldn't stay straight at all, until I realized that the problem was that I wasn't paying attention at my own crochet and my tension was too lose. I didn't take pictures, because I was SO FRUSTRATED, but the solution was just undo everything and redo with a smaller hook!

After that, look at this magic:

Of course isn't THAT straight, but so much better than the fan-shape it had before.

I passed the whole day yesterday just working on these 46 rows, redoing and undoing. For real, I finished all of them while I was working, but then I had another problem.

It was the wrong shape AGAIN.

Can you see how I just forgot to follow the straight line on the sides? At least now I know how to make those waveforms, even if I didn't mean to. At first, I thought I could finish the 46 rows and after that, just splice a chain and make more stitches, it would get wider, but that would be better than undoing the whole thing. And, I tried, but I just couldn't do it and I couldn't find any tutorials on it.

My only solution was undo everything AGAIN. This gave me a little ball of yarn, which, thinking about the number of stitches I had made on the sides, was more than enough to finish.

And, I only finished it this morning, still with a few defects and more crooked than I would have liked, but for my first project I think it's okay. I didn't take pictures (again!) but I sent a video to my friend, to show her the defects and I'll post it here tomorrow, when I'm going to post about the border, because I did something completely different from the original idea and thanks to my boyfriend's idea, it is going to also finish in something that suits more my personality.

Free Amigurumi Patterns for Crocheters of All Skill Levels

What is Amigurumi?

'Amigurumi is the Japanese art of crocheting or knitting small stuffed animals and dolls. The word "amigurumi" comes from a combination of the Japanese words "ami," meaning crocheted or knitted, and "nuigurumi," meaning stuffed doll.'

I was just reading a great blog post over at The Woobles where they share a great free pattern repository of free links for beginner and intermediate crocheters for ALL the amgurumi cuteness. High recommend! Check it out via the link above ->

My first knitting project ever is complete! There were definitely some mishaps in the first eyelet rows and the top ended up a bit loose, but I'm still very happy with it. I learned a lot in this process, it was definitely the most cerebral pattern I've followed thus far.

Alright, it's Free Pattern Friday once again, (funny how that happens every week! 😂) And this week's entry is for the crocheters out there!

But why would you need a DK-weight crochet hood in May (especially with the warm sunny weather we've been having here in the Northern Hemisphere)?

Simple - because this means you can learn to crochet by the fall and have yourself an awesome, warm, squishy crochet hood.

The Chevron Stitch Hood and Scarf is only three stitches - double crochet, double crochet decreases, and chain stitch, and uses a teeny bit of seaming to turn a crochet rectangle into a hood. And if you're worried about the seaming, please, don't be, ,I, like many people, both despise and suck at seaming things, and still managed to sew this up without an issue!

So, if you've been thinking of getting into the world of crochet, but want something more interesting than a dishcloth? I've got you. You can get the pattern for free on Ravelry or on Patreon (don't worry, no login required!)

P.S. If you ever do get lost or confused, my e-mail is always open for knitting and crochet questions!

I made these little cryptid patterns on a whim because A) I like cryptids a whole lot, and B) I needed some small patterns to use as coasters. And they took off and they're my bestsellers. Who knew! This is a tote I made with them, and you can buy the whole 8 cryptid patterns plus tote pattern as a bundle, on sale right now for 25% off.
