How I got into the world of crochet. #Сrocheterpromo

P.S. Please contact us if you want to share your crochet journey with us.




I very much fell into the world of crochet and it was honestly the best thing to ever happen. 

I lost my nan January 2020 and 3 days prior to her death my sister told me she was pregnant with her first baby. My nan had made me a blanket when I was born which was a big comfort to me growing up and I still have it to this day, 26 years later. She had also taught me to knit as a child and so I decided I was going to knit the baby a blanket in homage to her. 
 

I had never made anything more than practice rows of a scarf so I decided I was going to do squares for a patchwork blanket. I then learned the best way to add the squares together was to crochet them. Then with a gifted hook from a friend and a YouTube I figured how to crochet the squares together and even managed to crochet his initials to the corner.
 

Once I had that moment of 'I've actually made this', I felt so inspired to learn crochet as I saw how many exciting stitches there were. So l bought a set of hooks and a set of 50g balls of yarn from amazon and learnt all sorts of stitches from cluster, crunch, V stitch and arcade stitch. From there there was no looking back, I started with blankets then tried a teddy bear which I stuffed with a cut up t shirt as I was convinced I wouldn't be able to do it and didn't commit to stuffing. Now I look back at my portfolio and I've made various amigurumi, wearable items and I've started making my own designs! 
 
Very excited for my crocheting future, I'm hoping to buy a house this year and have plans of all the crochet touches I'm going to make. I'm even considering crocheting my wedding bouquet and other wedding touches!

I guess we all love the look of Granny Squares, they are also fast to make and very versatile.    In this tutorial I am sharing how to crochet a solid Granny Square without any holes.    This design is super beautiful and easy to make. You can make them with one color or multiple of different colors.  You can use this pattern to make one solid blanket or to make many and join them later. I love to use this pattern as a bottom of my bags or baskets so nothings is going to fall of them.   Written Pattern   You can start or with a chain and slip stitch to make a ring. Or simply make a magic ring which I prefer since there would be no hole in the middle.  1 Row Start with chain3, 3dc, (1tr, 3 dc)*3, sl st in chain 3 2 Row (and like that crochet each row until you get the size you want) (Chain 3, 2dc, into the same stitch where you slip stitch), (3dc, ( 2dc, 1tr, 2 dc into the treble stitch of the previous row))*3, 2 dc,  sl st into chain of 3

Hey guys!! Today I am inviting you to see how I recycle my crochet bag into my crochet Hat. I had many Bags but not even one hat. And all I wanted is crochet Bucket 👒.  So I thought to do an experiment and see how any crochet circle can become a crochet bucket hat. I made some  mistakes on my way but at the end I got a very perfect looking hat. At the beginning I left a circle too big about 20 cm but later I shrinkeeduced it too 18 cm. And it became just right!! My circle starts with 8 sc but you can also start with 6 sc.       R1: Magic Circle 8sc => 8 stitches R2: inc 1 st in every st => 16 stitches R3: inc 1 st in every 2 st => 24 stitches R4: inc 1 st in every 3 st => 32 stitches R5: inc 1st in every 4 st => 40 stitches etc. Then I crochet for 7 cm with no increase. R1 crochet (8 sc, inc) R2,R3 1sc into each stitch R4 ( 9sc,inc) R5,R6  1sc into each stitch R7 ( 10 sc, inc) R8  1sc into each stitch R9 ( 11
