Crochet Spiral Hat
Crochet Stepping Texture Hat + Free Tutorial
October 2021 rings in the kick-off with hat month here at The Crochet Crowd. Crochet hats are charity builders. We did the 30 days of hats back in 2014 and thought it was great exposure for hats that slide under the radar.
Not all of our choices will have matching tutorials but I know many of you are comfortable with reading patterns as well.
I have…

I tend to jam my yarn scraps into a bag because I hate unnecessary waste
Today I ran out of the last of the teal yarn I needed to complete a lil gift ONE INCH before the end
But in my yarn bag? Like a foot and a half left over of the exact yarn from the hat I made out of it in the first place
last inch finished, yarn scrap bag vindicated FOREVER

fr though you have to write bad poetry. poems are not handed down to you fully formed by god they are things that you have to work on and practice your skill at creating. nobody would expect you to sit down at a pottery wheel and end up with a perfect vase with no practice. it's a skill! art is a learned thing!! you have to make the shitty little pots with dents and marks and your fingerprints all over them in order to get better. and you're allowed to be proud of those first little pots you made too

Behold! My very first crochet chic! Thank God for tutorial video! :D
But even with the video (which said this can be done in 15min), I struggled an hour or so. First 15 minutes ALONE went on me trying to get that "magic loop" right and the first and second round since there ALWAYS were too many big holes etc. issues.
Another issue is that my hook was too big. Should had been 5mm but I bought 8mm... :'D So my chick has more holes and is bigger in size than the original in tutorial video.

Now, crochet! First, I impulsively bought a pattern for the rocky horror picture show lips. Then I was like oop, better actually start these before they fall into a cozy little pit I like to call 'shocking lack of object permanence' 😉
This was rough on the hands, and tedious given its size, but damn, it's hard to argue with those RESULTS. I still need to make a little cord to hang it, and it's actually probably going to go in a different room (it was originally intended for this one, but the design concept evolved and edged it out), but it's getting pride of place SOMEWHERE. The level of detail in this thing is insane. By the time I was making the lower row of teeth to just barely peek past the lower lip, I was fully on board with whatever the pattern creator asked me to do. I'll probably never do all that lip surface area again, but I love this to pieces!

A finished project! Fennec Shand is one my favourite characters from the newer Star Wars installments (partly because of the funny name), so this was a delight!
Pattern by ToyGurumi on You Tube - they have MANY great designs inspired by different movies and TV shows - and they're ALL FREE. Definitely recommend checking their channel out. 😃
I mean, look at this hairstyle:
I can't imagine how much time and sweat goes into designing and perfecting this, even with a guide I had to start anew twice!

It’s using Bernat Denim Style. It’s casual but really cool too!
Get the free pattern, it’s called Easy Hat & Scarf Pattern.

Visited the Sydney Royal Easter Show today & Look!! The yarn (WOW blend Yzma’s New Groove) I entered into the class for wholly spun & plied on a hand spindle placed 3rd!! Bonus was my crochet handspun made shawl was selected for display. I am so ridiculously happy & proud since I’ve only been doing this craft for a year.

I can't believe it... I attended my first craft show for myself as Eliza The Crocheter 🥹🥺
I'm so proud of me! I sold some scrunchies, hats and scarves. Had lots of interest in the hexagon cardigans.
I decided to throw in some of my paint pours just to see how they would do.
anyway
I FREAKING DID THE THING 🧶
