Hey There! I'm Alexandra - so glad you're here! On this channel, you will find mostly crochet patterns with some knitting and some plastic canvas. I am a cat mom to two, and you may catch them chiming in in my videos, and I'm also a big time coffee lover. I do have two blogs where you will find my free patterns with many in multiple sizes, and easy to read instructions. Cre8tionCrochet.com focuses on crocheted wearables (garments and accessories), and EyeLoveKnots.com focuses on home decor with many accessories in there as well, and all three crafts. If you like other DIYs, make sure to check out my other channel and blog, On Rockwood Lane.

    I suppose it could be. I always just say it's the first stitch. It will be the stitch right underneath where the beginning chain is, and the stitch will come out just to the right of the chain.

  • @eyeloveknotscre8tioncrochet
    @eyeloveknotscre8tioncrochetАй бұрын

    So glad you like it! I am working on a blanket myself in a chunkier yarn ❤️ This is my favorite combination! I actually just finished it, but still need to figure out the stitching for the different sizes. The stitch count is a little tricky. I don't know if a multiple of 40 would work without doing some math. I find that I always have to adjust it depending on the size I'm making because it has to be an odd number for the 2nd section, a multiple of 3 for the 3rd section, in the 4th section I do an even number of half double crochets in each part including the beginning and end and a similar concept for the bobbles and then ends with an even number for the last section so... it's a bit involved, and I usually sit down with pencil and paper and play around with my counts depending on the size I want. In the end, the shaping works out, and I just make sure my total stitch count in each section stays close to one another so there aren't large dips along the edges. With that said, I would probably start with an odd number that is 1-2 stitches away from a multiple of 3. That would allow you to work the first 2 sections, then you will most likely need to adjust from there. Adjust the length as you go as well dividing your desired length by each section (subject for border before dividing), and then you may end up stopping a row before or after that measurement as some of the stitch patterns need to be worked from a specific side, like the second section.

  • @eyeloveknotscre8tioncrochet
    @eyeloveknotscre8tioncrochetАй бұрын

    Hi there! The crown will most likely require more rounds of increases. You can try it, and then see how close you are after checking gauge. Otherwise, I would recommend starting with my Lightweight Grace Tinley Beanie video for the crown. I use a #3 weight yarn, and the same size hook: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnl8zKezgae_o7g.htmlsi=IriF0gui9FR-T5pk Once you get the crown done, you can come back to this video for the suzette stitch in the body, working evenly around. You will most likely need to add more rounds to the height of the body too so just measure before fastening off.

    Thank you, Sharon! Tell me more about what it is you're looking for so I can visualize it better, like one wall hanging or individual letters strung up like a traditional banner, or something else? I have wall hangings and squares for individual letters (you can find some in the Home Decor playlist: kzread.info/head/PLAgrRPB3v6_ubzP32Z1y0bSoBge6GUmfv), but to comfortable spell out Birthday, I'm thinking each letter might need to be worked in a very light yarn, maybe like a fingering or crochet thread? I have already started working on single crochet versions. Perhaps I can work on something similar to what you're looking for.

  • @eyeloveknotscre8tioncrochet
    @eyeloveknotscre8tioncrochet5 ай бұрын

    Hi there! It will matter. It will result in a finished beanie that is too big. Two ways you can look at it... If it's quite a bit bigger, then perhaps you can just take out one round of increases. Make sure to measure to see if the diameter matches. Otherwise, you'll want to go down a hook size, and then rework the sample, and remeasure the diameter.

    Aww. Fortunately for me, I've washed a lot of skeins and haven't had any tangle up. It does come apart sometimes, but I find when it's in the lingerie bag, even if with other skeins, it does not tangle. If it comes apart, then I cake it after it's dry. I would imagine based on the yarn, it could be more prone to tangling, or using a larger bag could allow more space for it - my yarns are pretty snug in my bags (I have a couple sizes.

    Possibly. I haven't tried it myself, nor am I that familiar with chenille yarns.

    What yarn type is best for cancer patients I've heard acrylic and wool are not good?

  • @eyeloveknotscre8tioncrochet
    @eyeloveknotscre8tioncrochet6 ай бұрын

    A soft yarn that can withstand multiple washings is the true answer. To me, a superwash merino wool, like Malabrigo Rios or WeCrochet Swish, or a wool blend, like Lion Brand Wool Ease, is the answer, with Red Heart Super Saver coming up behind that. These are soft options (even the Super Saver which softens after washing) that I use in my projects because I know they're nice, durable. With that said, many organizations have their own yarn requests. Wool can be a irritant to some so some will say no wool, and some will say no Super Saver because it's too rough. It's best to check with the organization you would like to donate to to see if they have any guidelines. If I had to suggest alternatives, I would say a cotton blend, like Lion Brand Coboo and Berroco Modern Cotton. WeCrochet has some cotton blends as well. It's just a little tougher with cottons because some favorite the cotton characteristics a bit more and don't stretch back to shape as well. The other thing is that cotton blends like these don't stretch the same way as other fibers, and therefore, hats made with them may need to be made larger to fit correctly. Years ago, I made myself one with the Modern Cotton and it made such a nice, soft and cool hat, but I had to do it in positive ease to fit correctly, and it took guess and checking on my own head. I know that isn't a straight forward answer, but I wanted to be as real as I could with my answer. First, I would suggest checking with the organization for guidelines, then pick a soft yarn that you know to be durable and comfy.
