Yarn ID help?! please :)
H3x,
I am looking for the pink yarn that is in this hat. I was so excited when I thought I found it and ordered some Moda Dea Dream (color: blush) off of ebay (the yarn ball featured in the picture with the hat), but while the mystery yarn is very close in color (just a tad lighter), it is also thicker …

Is there a pattern for this kind of design
octochan,
I’m trying to crochet a throw with the shapes found in Japanese seigaiha (blue sea and waves) pattern, which looks a lot like shell stitch. I found this Giant Shell Stitch Beach Tote that has the right look but it’s a little to lacy for my liking and doesn’t translate well into chunky yarn on 8mm h…

Should I block this?
LilaBuczynski,
Hello everyone! Good afternoon I have a question. I am working on designing a sweater out of some fluffy pima cotton ( Snuggle Puff ), and have been wondering if I should block cotton or not.

Does anyone recognize the lace stitch used in the lovely Monoi top? Is it from a source book, or is it the designer’s own work? Monoi

Help with pattern
agt13girl,
I’ve done this pattern twice, and it keeps coming out wrong. I bought the kit Sea Breeze Lite from Lion Brand and it called for a 3.25 mm hook, but I used a 3.5 the first time because I know I crochet a little tight. It came out 9 inches too short from the top to the point, and I didn’t think to co…

combining 3 strands of DK =?
appuknits,
I have a lot of random DK yarns and decided to combine three together to make a scrappy blanket. I don’t have a pattern and am just going to keep knitting till I have a cat blanket sized item. What size needle would you recommend? Also, what does 3 x DK yarn equate to in terms of yarn sizes? thank …

Can I make socks with....
ButtercupVictoria,
I never know if I should post under Patterns or Techniques but I think this might be right? I’m wondering if I can use 1/2 Alpaca 1/2 Wool to make my husband’s socks. Granted he wears holes in the bottom within a year so probably should do the bottom carrying some reinforcement thread… Will that co…

The back is done! 🐑 🐑 🐑
/u/egg_2106,
.. Definitely learning a lot with this project! Thank you to those who had suggestions a while back when I posted the gauge swatch 🙏Ended up doing a hybrid intarsia/stranded approach. I didn’t like the idea of floats going all the way across the work bc I felt like it would be snag central, but full i…

Improvised Teapot Cozy - need help with spout
knotrunning,
This is my first stash-buster project and first time not following a pattern. I’m holding two strands together and have been working 84 stitches in the round in 2x2 ribbing. I’m now working in stockinette and would like to make a hole or a slit for the tiny spout. I also want to reduce the number o…
