Making your first big project!

 Making a big project is fun, but if you don't like a prolonged project, it may not be for you. I find them really fun because you can pause for a couple days, and then continue where you left off. You can also go from a tutorial, or just freestyle it! 

This was my first try: 

It was mostly perfect, and I added a couple things like the yellow popcorn stitching on the top, a built in bra, and straps. The opaque part is a little loose around my chest, but overall, it looks great. I used this tutorial as a reference for the top, but didn't follow it exactly. For the popcorn, I used the tentacles on this octopus tutorial, for the bra, I used this tutorial, and the straps were just peices of yarn on the front and the back, and then I tied them in a bow.

My latest project

Image
  This is my latest crochet project, that took me about two months, mostly because i'm kind of lazy and like taking frequent breaks. This one was completely a freestyle, because I saw a patten I liked and kinda just went for it. I did sc all around the project when I was done to hide all the ends and even out the length. The laces at the back are just ch stitches, knotted at the end.  This is the front: The back and other details: Ressources: This is the wave pattern , and I actually started from bottom up on this top, so I reccomend sizing the waves around your body when crocheting to get a good length. That tutorial was created by  Kristine's day , and all of her tutorials are easy and creative! I reccomend checking out her channel.  The solid pink part is made out of herringbone hdc, which I used  this tutorial for.

Crocheting creatures!

Image
  Crocheting creatures is how I learned to crochet. My first project was a Woobles kit, and I made an owl. After that, I made many different creatures inculding octopus, bee's and potatoes. There are some new stitches you will need to create these and they are listed below!  These are the ones I made! Andy the owl was my first project, as you can see the stitches are quite wide do to my little experience.  These octopus have little strings attached so I can put them on things like my water bottle and backpack.  Increase (INC) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvD1qrrRX5c Decrease (DEC) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXsiVk52_vA I prefer to do invisible decreases when I crochet, so here is that link too! : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aKb9Yu1WzvQ Here are the tutorials for the bees, potatoes and jellyfish.

Freestyle crocheting

Image
  Freestyle crocheting is a fun way to express your creativity when you are a little more experienced, but still want to learn. My sister bought a little crochet chick, and I decided to make it hats as my freestyle crocheting project. I made a variety including bucket hats, party hats and winter hats. Here they are! This is pits, my sisters crochet chick. I did not make him, but he was my main inspiration.  This is him in the hats I made.  First is his party hat. This was the first one I created.  This is the beach hat, the second.  This is the winter outfit, and the scarf is only composed of chain stiyches. And this is the other winter hat I made, which is more of a party hat style.  You can create these by starting a magic circle and then crocheting from there depending on the width, shape, and colour you would like.
