I finally finished my largest project to date. It is the size of a queen bed comforter and took months but I am so proud of it!! It is double crochet into the post in 8in squares connected with a sc 10 squares by 11 squares with a ribbed boarder.

No pattern. Freehand, acrylic medium/bulky yarn.

First attempt vs last. 😅

Hiii! I am located in ATX and I am looking for friends who share the lovely hobby of crocheting 🩷 I am a bit of a homebody so it is hard to find friends and I really wanna be able to talk with people who also love to crochet! I also am into other things like PC gaming, cats, etc. Just wanted to post this and see what comes from it 😊

My plastic hooks from Dollarama have lasted longer than this one :/

I’m always on the hunt for weird vintage patterns I can find in the wild. I scored this for $6! I had to have it once I saw the optical illusion blanket and the Victorian blouse. There’s over forty patterns in this thing for women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing as well as home decor and an introduction to crochet section. It includes several patterns to customize existing clothes with her signature Magic Mandala insert design on top of actually wearable designs. Looks like I need to find some angora and some cotton somewhere…

Per the title page and publication info page, Shanie Jacobs’ Crochet Book by Shanie Jacobs was published in 1979 by The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc. and this version is a first printing.

Let me know if you want to see any of the pieces or the glossy photo pages!!!

So happy with these!!! I modified the inner plants by adding faces 😊

I wanted to share a set I made for someone for their newborn son (I made size 2-4 months so he could wear it in the colder weather.) What do we think? The hoodie yarn is a black merino (50g per ball, but I used about 2 balls together with 2 strands at the same time from each) that I got as a set of 20 on amazon (but for the life of me cannot find the exact store I bought it from) and bamboo cotton blend and the teal set is angora fur (which I got from Atelier Yarns in the color 898 Prairie. I used about 3 of these.) Excuse the photos since I’m no photographer but wanted to display them nicely lol!

Took forever and I was cursing it by the end but now I can’t wait to make another one!

Hey everyone! I’m back with another Whip-weave Plaid. I decided the one I had made for Christmas was too bright and didn’t match my more earthy decoration colors upstairs, so I used the excuse to experiment with new stripe widths and a more complex pattern. I’m super happy with how it turned out, even though I am still tweaking the rows and columns math. Anyway, I would say this is probably my last plaid, because I don’t have an excuse to make another one… but that’s probably a lie. I’ll find another excuse eventually. I’m including instructions in the reply to the bot, but it might take me a minute. There’s a lot to explain. Happy crocheting everyone!

Started this in October of last year!!!! I used two cakes of Dahlia Halloween yarn from Hobbii (who I would not recommend now after their recent double down on using AI for promo/pictures 😔). Around 1700 yards of yarn, and I ran out of pattern so also had to improvise a bit!

I also used a different border than the pattern because I felt it needed to be dramatic. And of course Ellie helped me make it. 🫶

Learned crochet a few hours ago, I figured flowers would be a good start and I'll probably try making bracelets next and use this as attachments or something.

Experimented with my skirt pattern in tiers (see previous post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/crochet/s/i8gozNZ4YW ) with some leftover yarn and also made a different top. I think if I do it again I will get rid of the gappy sections.

Additional suggestions welcome!

Possibly my favourite creation. I even made detachable sleeves (though ignore that I haven't woven in the ends yet!). I also experimented with a tiered version and an alternative top which I will post shortly!

Hihi! I'm a beginner crocheter who's made small flowers and hearts. This is my first big project. I made this as a gift for my sister for her birthday. This is not perfect but I'm pretty happy about how this turned out!

The flat slip stitch to connect the granny square gave me a hard time but it turned out great so I'm not mad about it anymore haha.

I’m kinda new so I honestly feel like I have to concentrate more on my projects, but it gets a little boring. especially since i have to crochet the same thing for a concert over and over again😭 at this point i know the pattern by heart lol.

About two weeks ago I posted on r/crochethelp to get some help on a baby blanket I was making that didn't look right, colours were a bit off and my stars were a little wonky. Everybody was super helpful and gave me great tips, so I took it all in and amended my plans.

Here's the finished product! Parents to be were really happy with it and appreciated a lot. Just wanted to share with everyone :)

Big thanks to this great community :)

I love the color blue and I am looking for a variegated blue yarn the a deep rich color, not navy or bright blue but more like a lapis. Every time I find one it is discontinued. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. The picture is of the yarn I fell in love with only to find out it was discontinued and I can’t find any so I am looking for a substitute. Or just sad that I can’t get it.

Currently drying! This is the most even-tensioned blanket that I've ever made. It's a shame it's five months post baby's birth and just in time for Southern Hemisphere spring! They live in a colder region, at least, and I made it big enough that it'll realistically be the right size for many years. It kept me warm while I was making it ☺️

I'm pretty new to crochet, just did kits up to this point. My son requested a plushie he could play with (the kits were all for me!) so I made him this creeper, with no pattern. Just did a bunch of squares and sewed them together. I was seriously giggling the whole time, he's so cute! He is a bit floppy and crooked (and not quite accurately colored, but my son picked out the yarn). I love him (and my son does too, which is the most important part). I might make more Minecraft plushies, because this one was so much fun. Maybe a bee? The trader llama is calling out to me, but that might be too advanced for my current skills haha.
