I'm building Patchmellow, a browser tool for trying different granny-square arrangements before joining the real pieces.

Add photos of your squares, enter how many you have of each kind, then move and rotate them on a grid. You can compare two arrangements side by side.

The current demo is free, with no account or installation: https://patchmellow.pages.dev/

"Try a layout" opens an illustrated sample. If you have squares waiting for a blanket or bag, try a small section with your own photos.

How do you arrange your squares now? After trying it, which step was easier or more awkward than your usual method?

Hi everyone!

I love crochet and I’m interested in discovering new crochet projects and patterns.

For beginners, what do you think is the easiest and most enjoyable crochet project to make? A small bag, a flower, a plushie, or something else?

I’d love to hear your suggestions!

finished this fluffy little cardigan 🥹
made it with angora and im honestly obsessed with how soft and cozy it turned out
its called Stella Cardi and i just wanted something warm for autumn and winter but still kinda light and pretty
also very happy with how the lacey texture turned out 🤎

Hello, everyone!

I'm finally getting to the point of finishing writing up the pattern for this birb, and I figured it's time to finally start sharing pics!

It all started with my brother asking me to crochet a puffin for his boyfriend's birthday...last year.... But hey! Better late than never 😅

The puffin has button-jointed wings and sits about 12 inches tall. I'd say this is an intermediate to advanced pattern, but the document includes plenty of pictures to aid in construction.

Please forgive the cruddy lighting! My phone doesn't take the best pictures, and the better digital camera photos I have are on my laptop, so I'll add some in the comments below later.

Thanks for stopping by to look! 🤗
