Mod Post Reminder: This is a hobbyist crochet sub

1.1k Upvotes

Reminder for all, old and new.

This is a hobbyist crochet sub, it is not a place to advertise your patterns or projects.

While we now allow designers to link to their own pattern (from a reputable store such as Ravelry, Ribblr, Etsy, YouTube or KoFi) in reply to the automod comment asking for a pattern, we still do not allow self promotion! We do not allow links to your social media or promotional sounding posts.

If you are a seller/designer we please ask

• Do not repost items that you have posted before

• Only post your items once a week (about the same as any other hobbyist crocheter would post)

• One link per post, under the automod response only! Excessive comments will be removed and may result in a ban

• Watermarks may be used but must not obscure or distract from the crochet item

• Excessive posts/comments of pattern release (coming soon), orders to pack and send, markets etc will be removed at moderators discretion

• Posts about your pattern/shop/blog/social media still count as self-promotion even if you do not directly link to it, as the purpose of the post is still to advertise

• Trying to circumvent this rule by directing users to your profile counts as self-promotion

• Pattern testing falls under self- promotion. Please use the dedicated subreddit r/PatternTesting to find testers

• Surveys and market research posts fall under the self promotion rule

This receipt crochet blanket only contains products that I already crocheted as bags or pillows, I thought it would be a funny detail. I would have loved to include them all but the receipt is already long enough lol.

Finished Object My first-ever attempt at crocheting… I think it was a success 💕

Thumbnail

This was my first big crochet project, and it took me about six weeks to complete. When I started, each diamond took me around 45 minutes. By the end, I’d gotten it down to about 20 minutes each, which was really satisfying to see.

I originally started crocheting because I wanted something to do besides endlessly scrolling on my phone, and it ended up becoming one of the most relaxing hobbies I’ve picked up.

I’m pretty proud of how it turned out, especially for a first attempt!

Pattern: Solstrikke [link here]

EDIT: 4.00 hook, medium weight (4) acrylic yarn

Yarn: Loops & Threads, Soft Classic in butter, white, and light yellow; Loops & Threads, Impeccable in glacier, aqua, grass, and arbor rose; Big Twist in baby pink

I keep coming back to this vintage pattern. I made this previously, but ended up gifting it. I decided I needed one on hand for myself. Hopefully one day I will discover an aran crochet pattern I like as much.

Subbed the worsted weight this go around for bulky. This let the work build fairly quickly. I started this 2 and 1/2 weeks ago and completed it tonight. Now on to a tunisian colorwork project. Wish me luck 😭.

Work in Progress Reversible Mosaic "Under the Sea"

3.6k Upvotes

I am almost finished, but I could no longer wait to share!

I had plans for a much more simple baby blanket pattern for an expecting friend. But then someone had to go and post their finished version of this pattern and I was smitten. For the second time actually, since I had already saved the pattern to my favourites. So I just had to switch plans... the baby will probably be 6 month old when they finally receive their birth present - but it's so worth it.

The yarn is Tencel Bamboo double by Go Homemade in the colours petrol and off-white, and I used a 3mm hook. It's rather finicky to work with, but incredibly soft and cozy.

The pattern is "Under the Sea" by ComfortPatterns on Etsy.

I made it reversible by looking up some tutorials on YouTube.

I also linked the double crochets on the front side to get a denser fabric, but I'm not sure I'll do that again on future mosaic projects. It distorted the edges at the colour chages quite a bit.

Finished Object My progress as a beginner 😆 I'm so happy!

94 Upvotes

Hello! Please excuse any mistakes because English is not my favourite language.

I just want to share my progress as a beginner crocheter because none of my real life friends crochet 😂

I've been practicing my magic circle and decided to make some flowers. On the left is my first attempt, the middle is the second attempt and on the right is my third attempt.

I'm super happy that it looks decent even though there are still mistakes like the sudden extra flower petal and the hole in the middle of the flower because my yarn tension was too tight 😅

When I first started, balancing a new hobby and my bachelor's thesis was a struggle. I even forgot to practice my crochet for a while until I forgot everything and have to relearn all the stitches and basics again.

But seeing this progress in just a month makes me happy so happy 🥹 it took a lot of practice and I almost given up but seeing the progress, it's definitely worth it ☺️

Anyways, thank you for taking your time to read my rambling. I apologise for any mistakes hehe

Edit: WOW thank you so much for all of the sweet responses! My wife and I are blown away by all the love!

Took 5.5 months to complete. The top is knitted and has beads hand knitted in every other row (the picture of just the corset shows just HOW MANY beads went into the top). The bottom is crochet.
I have the patterns I used linked in my ravelry post: https://ravel.me/Megs915/wdt

The yarn was Aunt Lydias. The top was held double with the regular white lace yarn and pearlescent yarn for extra glow. The skirt is just the regular white lace yarn.

3 more rounds to go. I can't wait to finish it and start a new one with different color scheme.

Edit:
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! 🥹💗 My only issue is the baby pink round, I think it would’ve looked perfect without it.
A lot of you mentioned that I might not like the colors because I’ve been looking at them for so long, and I think that you’re right!

The pattern is by SoHappyInRed and is called Funky fifties retro blanket.

I’ve been crocheting for YEARS (self-taught, not well 😌🤪) and until recently I thought that whenever a pattern says ‘Foundation Double Crochet’ it was just telling me to make my first row hahahah

Here we have my crazy neon granny square blanket. It's coming along! I work on it periodically in between my other projects. Recently I've been sewing in all my currently created squares, which makes me realize that I still have to make a lot more squares to fill in the gaps! This is currently about 6ft long and maybe 4ft wide.
