I recently figured out how to make the Amigurumi cupcake, ice cream cone, and octopus. After about a year of frustration, I finally taught myself how to do it. I'm proud. (:

Here is my army!

( cupcake explosion! )

Hi everyone!

I need a bit of help understanding this pattern. I'm confused as to what I'm supposed to do here and it shows up a lot in the pattern.

Foundation Row: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in sixth ch from hook (shell made, beginning ch counts as dc); [ch 4, skip next 4 ch, shell in next ch] 0 (1, 0, 1) time; *ch 3, skip next 3 ch, sc in next 5 ch, ch 3, skip next 3 ch, shell in next ch, ch 5, skip next 5 ch, shell in next ch; repeat from * 2 (2, 3, 3) more times, ch 3, skip next 3 ch, sc in next 5 ch, ch 3, skip next 3 ch, shell in next ch; [ch 4, skip next 4 ch, shell in next ch] 0 (1, 0, 1) time; skip next ch, dc in next ch, turn—8 (10, 10, 12) shells.

Hi guys!! I've been a lurker for a while. I love to crochet, but I've never really gotten into doing anything other than REALLY basic blankets... until now that is. I'm working on the brim part of this pattern,  (I got it from one of the posts on this community actually) and I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do once I hit row 13. It says "(1 sc in the next 4 sc, 2 sc tog)." Now, what I don't understand is the "2 sc tog". In the pattern abbreviations it says tog = together... but what the heck do I do to have 2 single crochet together?!?! At first I thought it meant to have 2 sc in the same hole, but that would then mean there would be more stitches in this row than the last and the stitch count for that row is less than the one before. My brain hurts. I've tried searching on youtube for anything but I'm finding zilch.  Someone help a girl out? Please??? I'd like to have this finished by tonight so I can wear it to a b-day party tomorrow. :) Thanks in advance!!

Howdy :)

I hope this is an easy one, because my google-fu has been weak this morning. I'm trying to find a pattern to crochet an argyle sweater. So far, I've found books that no longer exist and several knitting patterns. Can any of you point me towards a crochet pattern or a good place to find one? Are there any pattern books you can recommend that have an argyle sweater?

Thanks so much!

I finally finished the choker I've been working on. I wish I had tried it on sooner as I was making it instead of following the instructions to the letter. At first it ended up being way to big for my scrawny neck and I had to take the last motif apart to make it fit. I really didn't like that idea.



I have to work on the closure too. I used some hooks that end up showing very easily and don't look right when they do. It also starts to bunch up on one side from the slight tension.

Here's where I got the pattern if anyone wants to make their own. Asphyxiation choker from www.theanticraft.com ~ I also put some pictures up of the joining process for each motif on my Ravelry page, I didn't see anything like that on the site itself and it bothered me. You have to be a member of Ravelry to see them though.

Good evening. I just found this lovely group and I cannot wait to be involved. I do have one question for everyone out there...does anyone have a good crochet fishnet stocking pattern or have an idea where I can find one. I so need *cough want cough* one and I cannot seem to find one online. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Peas Out!

I actually wrote down the pattern this time.  I can't belive I managed to  write my own pattern.  This probably sounds lame, but I have always wanted a nice big collection of pattern that I could sell or maybe even put in my own crochet book.  I guess I can say I have one down :)

Hey everybody! I’m fairly new to the community and have not yet posted anything, as I’ve been conquering my latest project in scrapbooking. Afterwards I am making a few amigurumi bears. However, I caught site that hats are really hot right now - or at least for the making.

I’d love to crochet this hat but the pattern is in British-English, whereas I’m American. I know their crochet terms are different. Anybody know of a free pattern for a hat that’s quite like that one? I’m too lazy to “transliterate” right now :-P

(Background: Crocheted as a youngster with grandma, but stopped. Recently picked it up and am more actively crocheting amigurumi. Have made one afghan, and two amigurumi’s. Knitting is not my friend.)

So I really, really want to make some toe-less/heel-less socks. And there are tons of patterns out there... but I don't knit. I can probably improvise something, but I would rather start with a pattern. Can anyone point me in the direction of a crochet pattern for these?

TIA!

My first heirloom tomato pin cushion. I didn't have any red multi yarn, so I used some vintage 1970s orangey-brown yarn I found at a church rummage sale a week or two ago.

Pattern found in Crochet Today!, May/June 2008.

Hey! Didn't know if anybody would be able to help me... it's my friend's birthday coming up and I've found a great pattern of a Moomin on Etsy to make a few for her. I just bought it, yay, am just waiting for the seller to email it through to me. I thought that to go with it I'd love to make her a Snufkin as well, but searches have come up fruitless :( Does anybody know where I'd be able to find a pattern from, or know of any similar pattern that I could edit slightly to make it suit? I'm fairly new to crochet and although I can follow patterns themselves really well, I'm not very good at making up my own yet.

In case you don't know who Snufkin is (how dare you!) here's a picture:



Thanks for any help you can give!!

Oy, this is finished! I wasn't real happy with how I sewed in the inside pocket, but otherwise was pretty happy with the way this turned out. Also, my first flower! More photos at my flickr page, or at my Ravelry projects page.

"Work 3 inc in next st"

Does that mean work three increases (a total of 6 sc) into the next stitch? That just doesn't seem right.

I SO want to make some of these for myself!!!

This seller is sold out, so I don't even know how much they charge for these, but they are SO NEAT! :D
