MOM!? IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU. And yeah your a mom, so I didn't expect for it to be like a dad
Load More Replies...This peacock design reminds me a bit of a mandala in the middle - what a gorgeous, gorgeous work of art you made!
Your father is very proud of you. You are extremely talented. Have you ever entered any of your work in a county Fair. Where I live you would definitely win Best in show.
I'm so sorry for your loss😞This is such a beautiful piece and I'm sure he'd have loved it
Grandson's Christmas Present
That is so cool. My son would have loved this when he was younger.
Crochet pattern design can be a fulfilling and rewarding creative process. To create a pattern, there may be several stages to the process, such as brainstorming, sketching, testing, and refining.
Sarah has not only created many patterns herself but also published several crochet pattern books for people to use. She shared her creative process. “I typically have an idea and image in my head of what I want to create before I crochet it. I take a lot of inspiration from seasonal trends and popular holidays. Many times, I repurpose my older patterns into something new. For instance, a Crochet Gingerbread Man Gift Card Holder recently became a cute Crochet Bunny Pocket for Easter treats!”
Finally Finished This Notebook Paper Blanket!
Teacher "Everyone get out a piece of paper and a pencil." You "Can I share with the whole class?"
This is really cool! But I gotta say that I would be soooo bored making this, even though I love crocheting. 😋
My Mom Crochets And Donated 48 Blankets To Sick Children This Year
Donated blankets really make hospital stays better, they are sweet and give a splash of color and comfort in a bland place, and also useful…my daughter received a bunch during her nicu stay and then later during a picu stay after a surgery. We now have a quilt the size of her bed made up of pieces of all these special blankets and some of her baby blankets from us. Your mom is amazing and we are so thankful for people like her!!
That is so beautiful ❤️ i wish nothing but a beautiful & healthy future for your lovely daughter, and the rest of your family! 💕💕 I also spent my time (over 3 months) in the NICU with my own lil one. These gestures mean the world to us parents while we're just cuddling and loving our babies to health. ❤️❤️
Load More Replies...I have tried and tried to crochet. My squares are triangles. But I have found i can make chunky blankets!!! I have an etsy site but have not sold any on there yet. I have sold a few to people I know. (FrostyOwlBlankets if anyone is interested💜💙)
I Made This Little Dinosaur For My Niece's 8th Birthday!
I've made three of the dragons, and used thicker yarn than the description asked for, 90 cm from nose to the tip of the tail. I've also made one triceratops.
Load More Replies...I spend several days a week stuck in a vehicle bouncing down the highway for 11 hours straight. Can this be done in a moving vehicle? I need a new hobby besides being an internet troll and would love to learn how to make things like this.
I love crocheting and find it a great distraction that isn't being on my phone. I think as long as youre not jolting completely around in a car, it would be pretty easy to crochet in a moving vehicle. It's not as intricate as knitting when it comes to the hook!
Load More Replies...If you want to create your very own original pattern, there are several tips and tricks to help you get started. “As soon as you learn the basic stitches like Single Crochet and Double Crochet, the possibilities are endless. You can create so much with just a few easy repetitions. A great example of easy pattern designing is what I did in my book 'Crochet Cute Critters.' Most of the patterns start with the same basic shape. A dog, bunny, cat, and bear all start from the same exact pattern, but with a few different embellishments, a new animal comes to life!” wrote Sarah.
Finally Finished My Persian Tiles Blanket!
That is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for sharing it. Also, beautiful kitty.
Christmas Gifts Are Done! 😅 I Have A Huge Family, And Need To Save Money This Year, So I Made Everyone Their Chinese Zodiac Animal For The Year They Were Born
Seriously, you should open an Etsy shop. I’d be one of your first customers. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
These would be special no matter how much money you have. And something that everyone in the family has is awesome. They’re super cute.
Finished This Two Piece Combo And I'm Happy With The Result😊 It Feels Soft And Warm On My Skin And I'm Looking Forward To Autumn Now😍 What Du You Think?🥰
I'd actually wear this one, though I don't know what weather it fits. Looks lovely and since it is handmade it is also unique, but only for indoor wear I guess. It is so pretty :3
Some of the most popular crochet projects are blankets or amigurumi or crocheted stuffed animals or dolls. Probably rightfully so. Blankets are not only practical and functional, but they are also an excellent way to express your creativity, while amigurumi are adorable and oddball characters that can be made in a variety of sizes and shapes, making them a fun and rewarding project to work on.
Sarah shared that these two are her favorites as well. “My favorite projects to make are animal amigurumi and corner-to-corner crochet blankets. The animals I create are truly uncomplicated, and they are so cute and cuddly, and make the perfect gifts for any occasion. They bring smiles to everyone who sees them. I love being able to share these patterns and help support other makers who are selling their finished crochet pieces at craft fairs and through their own online stores.”
The Cats Have Already Accepted Her Into Their Coven
That's incredible! Curious as to how long this project took to complete.
WOW. And if the cats have accepted her, you know it's an instant win, period.

This Is My First Post In Reddit Ever So I Don't Know What To Do Here :) . I Am Disabled From A Car Accident Since 1999 And Bedbound. Knitting And Crocheting Is My Only Activity That I Have Learned Lately From Youtube. So Ií Am New To Crocheting Also. Here Is My Latest Crochet Blouse To Start With
Great job! So good to have a hobby, especially being bed bound, cannot imagine it. Keep on making beautiful things ❤️🩹
She is quite a stunning woman. And talented to boot!
Load More Replies...That’s a sweet top, it looks good on you. I’m nearly housebound and I’m so grateful for YouTube and sites like Bored Panda.
Did a fantastic job. I absolutely stink at knitting and crocheting due to dyscalculia, so to me this stuff is like magic.
It's beautiful, and so are you. I thank God rhat you are being a blessing despite your plight.
And lastly, Sarah shared: “the crochet community is such a wonderful space to be a part of. You can be a beginner or advanced crocheter and find the same amount of support and encouragement. There are countless benefits to crocheting already, and having an instant community of friendship among yarn crafters is icing on the cake!”
Haunted House Is Finished!
I really really like this! It looks like a video game from the '80s or something, I feel like I need to press up to get in that door

Sadly The White Elephant I Made For A White Elephant Gift Party Really Didn’t Go Over Well. The Person Who Ended Up With It Was Very Mean And Was Going To Give To His Dog. Definitely Never Making Anything For A Party Again
That’s terrible, there are plenty of us that would have LOVED this thoughtful, homemade gift. Don’t let those jerks get you down!!
Amen! He’s ADORABLE!!!! Never trust someone who doesn’t like elephants. 🐘
Load More Replies...If I got a white elephant for a White Elephant, I would've fallen out of my seat laughing and then proceeded to put it in prime position in my house so I could tell EVERYONE how I got it. That dude sucks
Agreed!!! I would think it was hilarious but also stinking adorable. I would have fought like heck to keep it.
Load More Replies...What. A. D**k!!! I'd have taken it back and offered him a nice, warm, knuckle sandwich in return!
I would have been over the moon to receive this adorable little dude. Everyone should have a house elephant...or several.
I will start learning how to crochet (I already want to) and once I learn I will start making house elephants
Load More Replies...He's is a treasure. Don't give that ungrateful recipient any more space in in your head.
I really hope that it becomes their dog's favorite toy so they can feel badly for not recognizing how awesome this is.
I had a regular customer who would buy my stuffed toys for his cat... I started making some with cotton yarn and stuffed with catnip just for him!
Inc how rude! It’s obvious it’s homemade why would he give it to his dog????
Currently Making Cat Paw Chair Socks, And I’m Dying Over How Cute They Are
You totally can buy these online. Just search for "chair socks cat paws" (or dog paws if that's what you're after). They also sell more sock-like chair socks.

Cinderella Brachiosaurus. She's Not Perfect But There Aren't Enough Dino-Princesses In The World
There is a children's book called Dino-rella. That book along with this crochet masterpiece will fill all your dino-princess needs.

My First Crochet With Light 🥰
I've been crocheting since I was 9 but it somehow has never occurred to me to crochet around lights. I must experiment with this idea now.
I think LEDs really make this possible now. Back in "the day" the lights might have gotten too hot.
Load More Replies...Finished My First Dress! It's Not Perfect, But I Love The Fit And Feel Of It. So Excited To Continue Expanding My Wardrobe With My Own Hands
Who says it's not perfect?! Bring the blaggart to me, and I shall end him!!

So beautiful. Would you consider sharing the pattern and name of the yarn you used?
Magnetic Stacking Ice Cream Cones

For My First Ever Wearable Project...i May Have Forgotten What A Human Sized Head Looked Like
LOL I've been crocheting for over 40 years, and I still make mistakes like this. My last hat got donated to a child. I grossly underestimated the circumference of my cranium.
And the person sitting behind you would be delighted.
Load More Replies...If anyone questions your hat, just tell them that they don't understand high fashion.
Open up the top again, then add another metre of cocheting and turn it into a combined hat and scarf.
Hey, it's wearable! When my mom suddenly decided to make a headband/earwarmer/thing when I was in college, she forgot my head is basically big enough to block out the sun and sent me something that technically fit around my head but gave me a headache within ten minutes while I was walking to class, and left an imprint on my forehead and the sides of my face for the entire two hours I sat in lecture. Thankfully her headwarmer phase didn't last too long before she went back to blankets, hats & scarves.
Finished My Second Skeleton
This is amazing and so intricate. It looks like you've had to make so many changes in the lacy crocheted pattern that it doesn't seem possible. You are an incredible artist!

She thought she had enough of this one color yarn but she didn’t, and she didn’t want to frog it (pull it to pieces so you can reuse the yarn) because the stitches are very small and it would take a very long time

Beanie Freehand Went A Little Awry
I love all the projects. You can see the love and effort with every stitch. Crochet is so versatile, you can make any textile :) Good Show!
My mom only ever taught me to crochet a chain, to keep me busy and quiet. Never taught me to do anything else with it, despite my begging for more. Now I have some minor brain damage from Celiac disease and can't follow written instructions to save my life. Would love someone to teach me
YouTube is a fantastic visual and audial learning source. Some are better than others in terms of speed.
