This article trying to explain this site in the wake of the hilarious trolling of the checkmark thing might be the funniest thing I’ve read in a while:

Because, heh, this tracks:

Crocheted Important Blue Internet Checkmark. Because why the fuck not.

(Pattern under the cut)

Please note that this hasn't been tested, and I have very little experience writing down patterns. If you have problems or questions I'll try my best to help!

Yarn: I'm using mercerized cotton from my stash. The lighter blue is Lana Grossa Cotone, the darker a tiny leftover with the tag long since lost, but similar. Whatever material/weight of yarn you have laying around is fine though.

Hook: 2.5mm for me, but again, whatever you have and works with your yarn.

Instructions (ch = chain, sc = single crochet, dc = double crochet, tr = treble crochet, sl = slip stitch, sl tog = slip stitches together (insert hook in stitch, pull loop through, insert hook in next stitch while leaving 1st loop on hook, pull loop through stitch & through the loop still on the hook)

Base:

co 3 in a magic loop (3)

2sc in every stitch (6)

2sc in every stitch (12)

(sc, 2sc) x 6 (18)

(sc, sc, 2sc) x 6 (24)

(sc, sc, sc, 2sc) x 6 (30)

((dc, tr) in same stitch, (tr, dc) in same stitch, sc) x 9, (dc, tr) in same stitch, (tr, dc) in same stitch, slip last stitch. Break yarn & pull through

Check (you can just embroider this on, however, I suck at embroidery):

ch13, turn

sc in every stitch, ch1, turn

sl 2, sl 3 tog, sl 3 tog, sl 4, break yarn

sew check onto the base

sl 3 tog: People seem to have trouble w this, which is on me for not explaining it well. Here's what I did w pictures:

Start here

Insert hook in next stitch

Pull loop through, leave it on the hook

Insert hook in next stitch

Pull loop through, leave it on the hook. Hook now has 3 loops.

Pull the 3rd loop through the other 2

This is the finished stitch; basically, decrease 2 stitches 2x to create an angle.

Back (optional):

Repeat steps 1-6 of the base

fiddle in a safety pin like so:

3. sew it on the back of the base

4. Realize that despite your copious amount of Internet Clout, people still expect you to "pay taxes" and "make cars that don't explode". But at least you can ban the haters now!

Important Blue Internet Checkmark Pin • $6

What’s the point of being important online if you can’t prove it with an unverified verification symbol IRL?

Lucky for you, this Important Blue Internet Checkmark enamel pin is 1.50″ of pure, uncut, unverified verification you can bring with you anywhere. And the stickers? Well, the Important Blue Internet Checkmark sticker sheet is 6″ x 4″ of glossy unverified verification you can stick on anything. Two blue checkmarks per sheet! Four checkmarks per order!

@staff You should be able to give the double useless checkmark to someone. And they can't refuse it. Enable pvp. Forced verification** **not actual verification

[ringwraithmd]

can we gift the blue checkmarks to people 

think of the chaos

[destinationtoast]

okay, I got the blue checkmarks (not visible in the app, only desktop or mobile web) because (a) I'm pretty entertained by tumblr right now (by the staff; I'm always entertained by the users I follow), and (b) also because I'm hoping the checkmarks turn into crabs soon, as the fine print threatened.
