ChristineS@27 — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:00:23 GMT

I LOVE this pattern but would like to make a smaller version for a young leukemia patient who is a friend of my 10 year old. I'm a veteran knitter but fairly new to crochet. How would I make this smaller??

I NEED HELP - Irish Pin Cushion

MarinaNebro — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:40:57 GMT

I need help with the following pattern. I've done the rose motif, and the Network follows straight from there. I've gotten to Round 9, but can't seem to figure it out from there. If you need the rose motif instructions to help, I'll add those too. If not, here's where you should start:

Network

The following stitch sequences recur throughout the network,

Ch 6-picot: ch 6, sl st in 6th ch from hook.
Ch 3-picot: ch 3, sl st in 3rd ch from hook.
Picot loop: ch 3, ch 6-picot, ch 3, ch 6-picot, ch 3.

Rnd 8: *(Ch 3, ch 6-picot) twice, ch 3, sc in sp between next 2 petals, (ch 7, ch 6-picot) twice, ch 7, sl st in same sp between petals (corner), picot lp, sc in sp between next 2 petals, rep from * 3 times, ending with sl st in joining st of Rnd 7.

Rnd 9: Sl st in first 5 ch (you should now be at the middle

of the chain and picot loop), keeping picot to front of work, *picot loop, sc in next lp between picots, rep from * around, sl st in last sl st at beg of rnd.

Rnd 10: Sl st to center of next lp, keeping picot to front of work, *picot loop, sc in next sc at corner, (picot loop, sc in next lp between picots) 3 times, rep from * around, ending with sl st in last sl st at beg of rnd.

Rnd 11: Sl st to center of next lp, keeping picot to front of work, *picot loop, 1 sc in next lp between picots, rep from * around, sl st in last sl st at beg of rnd. End of motif.

Urchins and Limpets blanket, need help!

marifu — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:55:00 GMT

Hi guys!

I've saved up to buy enough yarn to crochet this beautiful blanket, and was sooo looking forward to start it. Only to see I run in to trouble at the fourth row! lol! I'm hoping someone can help me out, I've been googling, but I'm not really getting any answers.
The pattern says "RND 4: Ch 1, sc into side of last sc of prev rnd, sc in next sc"

What does this mean? Side of last sc? I tried doing it literally, and it turned out like a little weird lump and didn't look very fluid or nice at all. I tried ignoring and just continuing the pattern, which looked a lot better, but I'm afraid I'll have to unravel down the line if it turns out wrong. All the rounds from four on start like this, so there has to be something to it, right?

Thanks for any help!

Need help! Cables & Lace Broomstick Hat by Kristin Omdahl

songsparrow022 — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:20:51 GMT

Has anyone made the Cables & Lace Broomstick Hat by Kristin Omdahl (from the book Crochet So Fine, and I see it was offered as a free pattern here on Knitting Daily)?

If so, did the Cable Band Pattern work for you as written? I have been trying to work on it several times today, but my cable does not look like the one in the photo. I seem to get the X where the cable crosses over, but the rows on either side do not seem to continue the pattern, with some stiches coming to the front and others going to the rear. Instead, 4-6 each have you do all stitches in either bpdc or fpdc, which creates a straight line.

This is the first time I've done cable work, so I could be doing it wrong, but I've followed the written pattern carefully and examined the stitch diagram closely.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Crocheted Picot Edging

I saw a sweater that had a picot edging crocheted all around it and it was so pretty! I don't know anything about crocheting but I'd be willing to learn to do that. Does anyone know how to crochet a picot edging?

Spinning and Crochet are knitters being snobs?

AnneSpins2CrochetNWeave — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 14:49:36 GMT

I don't know if any other crochet-ers spin their own yarn, but I do, and I sometimes feel like people look down on you if you crochet. It's as if when you are a spinner you just "have to knit" or you are doing it all wrong.

I can only loom or rake knit, and I have about 20 different types of looms in many sizes and shapes, this is because my left hand is damaged from a spinal cord injury and I cannot knit with knitting needles. I used to knit, but crochet always felt more natural to me.

I am in a spinning guild locally-the only one we have-and out of about 20 women there is only one other crochet person. If we even start discussing a crochet pattern, the conversation is switched over to knitting before I can even blink.

Does anyone else feel that we are looked sort of down on for liking crochet more than knit?

I was just wondering.

viking crochet socks

Edward — Wed, 20 May 2009 14:55:16 GMT

I re enact as a viking. Sadly it looks as though they didn't knit. The way they made socks is by sewing the wool together in someway that I can't quite work out. The alternative is to crotcet your socks. Not sure I believe them but it is the agreed method. I need help with designing a working sock in crotchet.I am a knitter. I can do the basics but that is all. So the sock will have to be simple. I can't se.e how to turn the heel. tDo I start at the top or toe? I need my socks by end of June for a big show in the Isle of Man. That is in the sea between England and Ireland.Pleases help. Edward The saga teller

Granny Squares

Knitting4Hope — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 18:26:15 GMT

Hi. I'm new to crochet and would like to learn how to make a granny square afghan. Is there a pattern to follow and techniques I must learn? I know how to single crochet but that is about it. Someday I hope to do doilies, but I have a lot to learn before then. Any help would be great.

Diagrams vs. written instructions

craftcre8r — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:07:06 GMT

I've been crocheting since a kid (now a grandma) and only in the last couple of years have I had to try and translate a diagram into something that makes sense to me. I bought a Scandinavian book with a lovely pattern last year and after numerous attempts at deciphering the diagram, gave up.

Does anyone out there know of a reference I can utilize to learn this reading skill? I can work up most any pattern, as long as I understand it!

Thanks to any and all who can help this old dog learn a new trick...

Summer Crochet 2008 cover pattern: Santa Fe Shawl

annekaelber — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 02:45:18 GMT

Hi!

I'm a knitter learning to crochet and the cover pattern for Interweave Crochet Summer 2008, the Santa Fe Shawl, looks really fun! Are there plans to bring it to the KD store? I suppose I could hunt down a copy of the magazine via Ravelry's groups and buy it, but I'd much rather have a PDF that I could re-print if I spill something on it!

Thanks!

Anne.

crochet services

EvelynL — Sun, 03 May 2009 22:23:35 GMT

Hi all,

I'm a knitter, who crocheted a million or so years ago. My granddaughter wanted a ladybug afghan that she saw in one of my pattern files. It's a herrschners design. I started making it for her, but cannot do it because of the arthritis in my hands. It's mostly double crochet with color changes.

Where can I find someone who would finish this for me. My granddaughter keeps asking about it. I tried Craigs List, but couldn't find anyone. Any suggestions would be most welcome. I'm willing to pay a reasonable fee.

I love in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, but I assume all of the materials can be mailed to someone.

Please help.
