#crochet hook

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I was looking for a crochet hook but they were all too big or too small. I became increasingly distressed and then my mom told me to get a life.

Chopstick Crochet Hook Time

Enter a fuge state at 2am with a chopstick, a pocket knife, one smooth-ish rock, and a bit of braided wire. Wake up the next morning with a Long Crochet Hook. Profit.

Charming Shamrock Applique

In honor of Saint Patrick's Day here is my first pattern!

If you have any questions, need help with anything, or I need to correct something, please let me know in the notes!

Notes:

I use American/Canadian terminology.

For experienced crocheters it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. For beginners it may take up to 40 minutes.

Using the weight of yarn and size hook listed, the Shamrock is about 3 inches or 8 centimeters starting from the bottom of the stem to the top of one of the petals.

You can change the size of your Shamrock by decreasing or increasing the weight of yarn and size hook.

You will need:

Worsted weight yarn (weight 4). I used acrylic, but you can use any fiber.

Size 3.75 mm crochet hook (size F)

Scissors (or a sword if you're not a coward)

Hope

Abbreviations:

SS=Slip Stitch

CH=Chain

HDC=Half Double Crochet

DC=Double Crochet

DCDEC=Double Crochet Decrease

Round 1:

Make a magic ring, CH 2, DC 2 into magic ring. Turn work.

Round 2:

CH 2, DC 2 each in the next 2 stitches, in the top CH from Round 1, DC 1. Turn Work.

Round 3:

CH 2, DCDEC, CH 2, SS into next stitch, CH 2, DCDEC, CH 2, SS into the top CH from Round 2. As down the side of the petal until you reach the magic ring. SS into magic ring.

Repeat Rounds 1-3 two more times. You should now have 3 flower petals.

Stem:

Starting from the magic ring, CH 10, skip 2, into the next 8 CHs, DC 2, HDC 2, SC 4, SS into magic ring, finish off.

There you have it folks. Your very own shamrock. Woohoo.

If you finished, good job! You get a high five from yours truly! ✋

If you didn't finish, you get a participation award 🏅

Ice cream crochet hooks final version! I got it to print the size on the side which I’m very happy with, and it’s super comfy. Going to focus on getting a bunch done to list next week; they’ll be sizes E (sherbet), G (bubblegum), and H (mint) to start, and then hopefully more sizes/flavors soon!

hey, sorry if this isn't very clear, english isn't my first language, but do you know if this can be fixed and, if so, how? the sleeve of my sweater got like unknit in this part

[ID: the sleeve of a sweater knit in variegated yarn in shades of red, green, and purple. Part of the sleeve has unravelled, creating a large hole.]

Fixing unravelled knitting

No worries, English isn't my first language either.

The yarn must have broken somewhere, or maybe a woven-in end came loose. Either way, there's bound to be a loose thread in there. It would be helpful if you could locate it without undoing any more stitches.

Judging by your picture, it looks like most of the yarn is still fine. One thing you could try is to grab a crochet hook and to pick up those dropped stitches. Check out The Spruce Crafts for a written tutorial and VeryPink Knits for a video tutorial on how to do this.

Start from the bottom and work your way up line by line: you've got a lot of loose threads in the middle of the hole and those will be difficult to work with if you don't fix the stitch structure (the V-shaped stitches) below the large hole first.

Once you reach that last stitch, or the broken end, you'll have to secure it in place. As there's no working yarn since you're mending a finished item, you may have to get some extra yarn or thread to do this. Knitted fabric is basically a bunch of loops: when one loop comes loose, the rest follows. The idea is to fix that last loop in place so it can't unravel and cause a chain reaction in the future.

You'll have to work very carefully as to avoid unravelling more stitches.

If that doesn't work, check out my post outlining techniques on how to mend knit fabrics to see different methods on how to fix something like this. Darning or patching are also good methods to fix something like this, but your mend will be visible.

10 Gift Ideas for Knitters/Crocheters

1. Knitting storage bag - cute bags specifically designed to keep your yarn, tools and works in progress.

2. Yarn bowl - cute bowls with a slot for yarn to be threaded out of while you create. Helps with keeping things tangle free.

3. Yarn! - can’t have too much yarn. You might not know the yarn preferences of the person you’re buying for, but they likely will find a way to use what you get them. Popular yarn to get are multi-coloured, cotton, thick (extra ply) or any with unique textures. That kinda stuff is the good stuff.

4. - Tools - Now they probably already have their own tools. But if you happen to notice that they’re using straight metal or plain plastic hooks, you can upgrade them with ergonomic hooks. They look like they have a rubber handle and they feel sooo much better. And if they only have 1-2 tools, you can get them different size needles or hooks. This is only if they don’t have a huge bundle of supplies already.

5. Giant basket/tub - if they don’t have a great yarn storage spot, this is a life-saver.

6. Something you make - if you try your hand at knitting or crochet, they’ll love you for it!

7. Plastic stitch markers - you can get these online. Look for the ones that are open-ended. They slip into work so easily.

8. Patterns - we need knitting/crochet patterns. You can find heaps of cute ones on Etsy for download. Books and magazines on fibre arts also contain heaps and make good gifts.

9. - Heat pack - especially glove ones. Our hands get sore and cramp, so anything to help with this and help us take breaks is good. Even muscle relaxant cream.

10. Amigurumi kit - these are kits that come prepacked with everything you need to make a plushie. And they are amaaaaazing. I recommend the Woobles brand.

Part one of rug is complete, I think what’s gonna end up happening is working out and around

Until I run out of yarn. I’m confidant I can get another 18, so that’s one more layer, after that it might just be edging until I’m out.
