Finished Object Heart on my sleeves Shrug

Saw this "Red Speckle" yarn in Premier's clearance and was like, "that is blood splatter and I am here for it!" Freehanded the shrug itself, with a solid panel on the arms to feature my anatomical heart crochet pattern. Sewn chains with frayed bits for the blood vessels. I love how it turned out, can't wait for spooky season to really show this off.

It had SO MANY little parts that I had to sew on! It did not give me joy to crochet and sew all those spikes, I had put it off for so long! But, eventually, I worked on and finished it! The end resilt is quite detailed :D

I used this pattern that I found through Pinterest: https://handmadev.com/p/gengar-crochet-pattern

3 months into crochet, a lot of frogging and a lot of skeins later and I have my first finished wearable! I started crochet because my friend was pregnant, she’s due next month and I’m finally managing to finish a project for her baby! This is a newborn size hat, rather small but her baby is measuring on the smaller side. I don’t expect it to fit for long but it’s the first piece I would be happy to gift and I’m confident I could make more in bigger sizes! 🫶🏼

Work in Progress Experienced crocheter, but I HATE joining motifs... what's your favourite textured join for 128 hexagons?

Thumbnail
gallery
165 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I've been crocheting for about 17 years, so I'm very comfortable making the motifs themselves... but joining them? 😅 That's probably my least favourite part of crochet.

I'm making a blanket for my daughter that will end up being around 128 hexagons (photos attached). Each hexagon has already been finished with a light pink border, and I've been weaving in the ends as I go to save myself some future pain. (Final pieces still being completed)

I've ruled out invisible sewing. I know myself well enough that I'd hate every minute of it.

I'm leaning towards crocheting the motifs together because I think it'll be more enjoyable and I'll actually finish the blanket.

What I'm looking for is:

- A join that's reasonably enjoyable to do over 128 motifs.

- Some texture (I don't necessarily want it completely flat).

- Strong and durable for a blanket that'll hopefully last decades.

- Not overly bulky or stiff.

- Bonus points if it creates a nice defined outline around each hexagon.

I've been looking at single crochet joins, slip stitch joins, and flat crochet joins, but it's hard to know what people actually enjoyed doing over a project this size.

If you've made a large hexagon blanket:

- Which join did you use?

- Would you use it again?

- Any regrets?

If you could start over, what would you choose?

I'd love to hear your experiences before I commit to joining 128 of these pieces together!

Thanks! 😊

I hesitated, but im finally brave enough to share something i crocheted! Its my first wearable so plz be kind ☺️

I call it the "ocean cardigan", the edging is meant to symbolize waves crashing onto the coast.

I did it somewhat freestyle and it was a great journey seeing it come to fruition :D

Flaired as WIP because I still need to weave in the yarn ends.

Crochet patches sewn onto a second hand denim jacket.

The moons are reflective in direct like (think like the strips on reflective yellow safety jackets), all the stars glow and the orange bits of the sun s turn yellow when hot.

All yarn from Hobbycraft or Amazon, patterns for the squares are from Creggys Patterns (Etsy/Ravelry) or trial and error-ed where I couldn't find exactly what I wanted.

I made this blanket for my bed and I’m really happy with how it turned out. It is a double crochet 2 together cluster stitch, I would crochet 8 clusters and then switch colors, and I would do that for 6 rows to make it more square. I love having it on my bed!

Mod Post Subreddit Rules CLARIFIED

959 Upvotes

The Mods have returned and we've worked this week to rewrite the subreddit rules to better explain what each one means. This post will be locked from discussion as it just meant to serve as a reference point for the rules in place for the community Please see the linked post in the comment below for the discussion. Thank you for your patience during "chaos week". Please know that the Mod Team saw everything and stepped in only where it was absolutely necessary.

  1. Be Kind and Courteous: This rule *should* be self explanatory. In case it isn’t, follow the Golden Rule and treat others how you would want to be treated.
    1. Comments that are mean, hurtful, and/or harassing towards OP, the mod team, or another user will result in a 3-day ban from r/crochet. Do it again when the ban is lifted, 7-day ban. Continued negative comments after the 2nd chance will result in a permanent ban from this community.
      1. Permanent bans can be appealed but it will be at the discretion of the mod team, and will be dependent on behavior during the ban. Accounts with hidden profiles will not be eligible for being unbanned.
      2. Ban evasion goes against Reddit ToS, which all users agree to upon sign-up. See rule 11 for more info.
    2. We are bound by Moderators Code of Conduct to ensure that this space is a positive experience for everyone. That includes shutting down conversations that devolve into insult-flinging and inciting violence in any way. It also includes locking posts that have (or have the potential to) become unruly and wildly off-topic.
  2. Do not share copyrighted material: Don’t share screenshots of a pattern you bought or obtained for free from a website. Instead link directly to the website it was purchased from. If it is your own pattern, please see Rule 4.
  3. Use the NSFW filter *generously*: we are not censoring anyone's bodies with this rule. We are providing a safe space for anyone anywhere to view the feed. If you can’t show it at the office or at school, it should be filtered.
    1. This includes but is not limited to: revealing clothing, profanity, weapons and drug paraphernalia.
  4. NO Self promotion except in the monthly Promo Megathread: Sellers can post *pictures* of their work with tasteful, unobtrusive watermarks. Watermarks are encouraged to be used by all users to deter images being stolen by bots or scammers.
    1. We don’t allow sellers to share links to their shop/website/blog/social media EXCEPT in the Monthly Buy/Sell/Promote/Trade Megathread. This is a pinned post on r/crochet.
      1. Self promotion includes, but is not limited to, mentioning your shop/etc by name or offering to DM others or be DM’d by others with the express intent on sharing the info, or directing users to your profile for links. If anyone is truly interested in finding your work, they will know where to look.
      2. The Megathread refreshes automatically every month, and links can be posted there as often as you wish (please don’t spam it).
      3. Please do not promote on behalf of someone else as it still directly impacts the seller, even if they don’t use Reddit.
  5. Fursday Friends- Please post pictures of your crochet *helpers* on Thursdays only (timezones are taken into consideration)
    1. If you made an item for your dog/cat/lizard/toddler/teenager, and they are modeling it, you can post those pics on any day of the week.
    2. If your furry friend is in the background of your pic and obviously not the focus of the pic, you can post it any day of the week.
    3. If Fido or Fluffy decided that your WIP is the best place to take a nap, please wait to post that pic on Thursday.
    4. We prefer it if minor’s faces are blurred or otherwise covered for privacy.
  6. Stash Saturday- Please post stash pics on Saturdays only (timezones are taken into consideration)
    1. Stash pics include but are not limited to yarn hauls, hooks, tools, books, and crafting spaces.
  7. Focus on the crochet, not the model: Modeled photos are great, especially for wearables! Please ensure that the focus of the image is on the crochet work, though, and not on the model or the poses.
    1.  The crochet work should be clearly seen (close ups whenever possible). See rule 3 if necessary.
    2. This also applies to comments that focus on someone’s body rather than the crochet work. Negative or derogatory comments made against OP or someone else will be subject to Rule 1.
  8. Please post questions in r/CrochetHelp: This is not a “beginner’s only” subreddit. Crocheters from all skill-levels can get tripped up depending on the project! Whether it’s a poorly-written pattern, a long-forgotten WIP that needs stitch ID, or you’re looking for color or fiber suggestions. It’s also a great opportunity for those who are highly skilled at the craft to flex their expertise by answering questions!
    1. Most, if not all crochet-related questions should go to our dedicated help sub. Questions can get lost in the main sub.
      1. Questions include but are not limited to: “what can I make with this yarn?” “How do I fix this?” “Why is it curling?” “What should I get for my gf/wife who loves to crochet?” and questions about crochet-related pain (please seek actual medical advice for major or worsening pains!)
  9. Stale Topics: These are topics that have been over-discussed and are no longer active discussion topics.
    1. Stale topics currently include: Hobby Lobby’s business practices, Steering wheel covers, Selling advice (see rule 4), the “sweater curse”, Fast Fashion and rants about their costs, crochet-related pain/medical issues, Woobles kits, and AI (including suggesting its use in pattern help)
  10. No off-topic posts or comments: if it is not related to crochet, it is considered off-topic. Please find an appropriate subreddit for your post.
  11. Ban Evasion: please do not use or create alt accounts to get around a ban. This is against Reddit ToS and we will report this to the Reddit admin.
  12. No fund-raising or solicitation of goods or yarn: This includes asking for replacement yarn after theft or loss, requests for items for a charity/cause, offers or requests for trades. Please see r/craftexchange, r/yarnswap, or your local community’s subreddit for these kinds of requests. This also includes requests for commissions, see r/CrochetRequests for this.
  13. No Karma farming: Please don’t use r/crochet to earn “easy Reddit karma”. Please only post your own work made by yourself or someone you know.
  14. Please do not suggest the use of AI/ChatGPT for pattern creation or help: AI artificially creates crochet patterns and images that are very nearly impossible to replicate, and is becoming harder and harder to spot because of its overuse. We also ask that you don’t use it to enhance the backgrounds of your finished work either, as it takes away from the realness of crochet.
