okay so diamond patterns Right so you want to make a diamond pattern in crochet which honestly is easier than it looks once you get the hang of it but also can be super frustrating when you’re first starting because the counting is—anyway I made this blanket back in spring 2022 when I was stuck […]
Getting Started With Your Capybara So I made my first capybara in spring 2022 when I was basically living on my couch binge-watching The Great British Baking Show and needed something to do with my hands. The pattern I used was one of those free ones from a blog that had like a million pop-ups […]
okay so c2c crochet is actually way easier than it looks I learned this technique back in spring 2022 when I was making a baby blanket for my cousin and honestly I just got bored with regular granny squares. The corner to corner thing seemed complicated but it’s literally just making little squares diagonally and […]
So You Want to Learn Bead Stitch Okay so bead stitch crochet is basically when you create these little raised bumps that look like beads all over your fabric and honestly it’s one of those things that looks way more complicated than it actually is. I made a whole blanket with this stitch back in […]
okay so bavarian crochet squares I made one of these back in spring 2022 when I was supposed to be cleaning out my closet but obviously that didn’t happen.

You’re gonna pull up 3 chains to count as your first double crochet, then work 11 more double crochets into that ring. Pull it tight. That gives you 12 stitches […]
Starting With Pineapple Patterns So pineapple crochet is basically those lacy designs where you’ve got this fan shape that looks like pineapple skin if you squint at it. I made my first real pineapple doily back in spring 2022 when I was stuck at home with nothing to do and my sister kept sending me […]
okay so modern crochet scarves are actually way easier than you think so last spring 2022 I made this really simple modern scarf while binge-watching Succession and honestly it turned out better than half the stuff I’d been trying from those old doily patterns my aunt kept sending me. Modern patterns are just… different. They’re […]
so about granny squares and all the variations okay so the basic granny square is like your starting point right? it’s just chain 4, join to make a ring, then you do chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), 2 more double crochets in the ring, chain 2, then repeat that (3 dc, chain 2) […]
