Crochet Binge

I don’t know if you can tell by my patterns if you’ve ever seen any of my patterns, but I hate the long increase and decreases in most patterns. With my ADHD I have a hard time focusing on certain aspects of things. One of my favorite things about crocheting is the repetition. The main thing that I love doing is being able to make my pattern anywhere I go. So all of my patterns are very simple and easy and I look for patterns to either try or configure into what I like, look for simplicity. But if you’ve ever tried to make any sort of stuffed animal or something that needs to be stuffed, you’ll know that most of the time it requires a slow increase or decrease. What I mean by slow is that it is one increase every 20 stitches and then the next row is one increased every 19 stitches or something random like that. To make it extend longer but also go short and I understand the concept of that but I don’t like personally doing it. Something I can’t remember of the top of my head and I love...

Free Pattern: Us 5.5 mm or 5.00 mm crochet hook Size 4 medium worsted weight yarn The granny square pattern Start by chaining 4 and slip stitch into the first chain or create a magic circle. Row 1: Chain 3, 2 double crochet. Chain 2 and create a cluster (three double crochets all in the same spot). Create a total of 4 clusters. Row 2: Chain 3 and place 2 double crochet. In each corner create two clusters, with two chains in between. Row 3 and so on: Create clusters in each opening and two in each corner with two chains in between. And repeat until the desired size. I like to also use a bigger needle to make the pattern go faster and make it bigger. When I use a 10mm needle I do not chain in between the clusters except on the corners where I only chain 1. I have a very good reason why this is my favorite way to make a blanket. So I have been crocheting for many years and tried many things. And no I don't mean different stitches but more so different styles. The first blanket...

  I talk in a recent post about how some people do not support my design to follow my dream. I feel too many people live in the future rather than the present. I want to be here, I want to enjoy today because I really do not know if there is going to be a tomorrow, no one does.  I did not have a goal in life for a long time, I did not want to be around long enough. Even in high school when my graduation depended on it, I had nothing. I did graduate just to clear the air, but not the same way as my friends because I do not have the same motivation they did. I have had a youtube for almost a decade, I have had a blog for years. I have been on the internet for 70% of my life. I know it is a common dream nowadays to become famous over TikTok or Youtube but it is not famous that I want. I do not want to be known by millions or stopped on the street. I want to live by doing things I love. I want to write, I want to crochet for a living. Blogging is the best way to do that nowadays u...

Free Pattern: Us 5.5 mm or 5.00 mm crochet hook Size 4 medium worsted weight yarn For this pattern, I used a 24 peg round loom.  Start by casting on and wrapping your yarn around each peg where the yarn passes over itself using a knit stitch.  For the first row, you will continue doing knit stitches by wrapping the yarn entirely around the peg causing the yarn to pass over itself and pull the first yarn over the wrap you just made. To make the cuff you continue doing this until you have 12 rows (i count the v shapes on the inside of the loom.) Then you will take the cast on stitches you made and put them back on their corresponding peg to make the pattern fold on itself. Pull the yarn over to secure the cuff.  For the ankle do a knit stitch for 10 rows. For the ankle, you are only going to be using half the loom. To start stitch 11 pegs and then just wrap yarn around the 12th peg. Turn back and knit 10 and only loop the yarn around the first peg and turn. You will keep ...

Start by chaining 50.  Row 1: Double crochet into the fourth chain. Chain 2, Skip 2, and double crochet into now the sixth stitch. Continue doing this till the last stitch. In the last chain, double crochet, chain 2, couple crochet into the same spot, chain 2, and double crochet into the same stitch (50th) again. Creating a corner with 3 square (3 double crochets into the final chain. On the other side of the chains, continue double crocheting and chaining 2. On the final stitch (originally stitch 3) Double crochet, chain 2 and slip stitch into the first double crochet made by 3 chains (if I'm correct, originally the first chain, this kinda makes my head hurt). Creating the other corner with a total of 3 double crochets (including chain 3 from the beginning).  Row 2-17: Chain five, double crochet into the double crochet from the previous row. chain 2 and continue this square pattern all the way around, Slip stitch into the third chain from the beginning.

Free Pattern: Us 5.5 mm or 5.00 mm crochet hook Size 4 medium worsted weight yarn Start by chaining 32.  Row 1: Double crochet into the third chain and double crochet in every chain. Row 2: Chain three, and double crochet in the next stitch. chain 1 and skip a stitch, double crocheting into the next stitch (4th stitch), and continue skipping stitches. The last two stitches don't skip and place two double crochets into the final two stitches. Row 3: Chain 3 and double crochet into every stitch including the chains. Row 4-42: Repeat rows 2 and 3 over and over until the desired length, 42 is my personal preference. Lay the scarf out flat and turn the scarf twice, or 360. Place the two ends of the scarf together and slip stitch or single crochet the two ends together and fasten off to finish the scarf. I am not a huge fan of regular crafts, I have never been a fan of wearing one even during winter. But I always loved the look of decorative scarfs normally being infinity scarf...
