1. “Crochet progress! Had this pattern saved since the first week I started crocheting. Now, 4 months later, I finally finished one! :D”

• “This pattern really helped me find a little bit of a groove with both magic rings and sewing. He’s the second plushie I’ve ever made besides a chonky cat, and to be honest, I’m quite proud of him! I maybe overstuffed his body a tiny bit but he’s so fat now and I love him so much lol.

2. “I crocheted an entire wedding dress!!”

• “Let me start by saying, I’m by no means an experienced crocheter 🤣 this was HARD work for me, and I am honestly not psychologically well after this amount of stress; literally hanging on by a thread. I worked on this for 3-4 months. I made the underdress as well (but that’s the easy part for me!). I finished it like 48 hours before the wedding 💀 the last 2-3 nights/days working from 7am to 3am with 3-4 hours of sleep.” © kels-1 / Reddit

3. “I crocheted my cat, can you tell which is the real one.”

• “You’re telling me these are two different pictures?? Nah, same picture 😄”

5. “Finished my first crochet tapestry featuring a weird, medieval cat, a crown, and a fish of dubious fate.”

• Here’s a fun fact: tapestry crochet is like regular single crochet but you have to keep even tension and count stitches carefully between color changes. Some patterns use just a few colors, others use many!
  It’s great for colorful blankets, pillows, and wall hangings worked in rows, and also for making vibrant amigurumi creatures when worked in the round.

6. “I crocheted my prom dress !!”

8. “Finished a top for my DIL.”

• “Crocheted this top for my wonderful daughter-in-law just in time for her and my son’s cruise to celebrate their 4th anniversary. I’m very proud of this one — it’s The Tunisian Square Top https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/turkish-granny-square-top . She picked the colors and because she’s a tiny person, I went down a hook size and didn’t block it severely. She loves it!”

• “It’s all single crochet and I recommend looking on YouTube on how to change colors seamlessly. I’m still struggling with it as you can see 😅 the outcome is not as smooth as I’d like it to be”

• “unfortunately i got all of the yarn from joann... i used all of it up so i am not sure what brands/colors they were :/” © emotional_octopus52 / Reddit

12. “I crocheted this cute lil guy!”

• “Pattern by ToyGurumi! I had such a fun time crocheting him! They also have a very cute Zelda that I’m probably going to make very soon! Thank you for looking!” © 8-B1t-Ch1p / Reddit

13. “I can now say I have learnt the single, double, half double crochet and the increase and decrease.”

• These foundational skills are key for many crochet projects. Single crochet makes a tight fabric, double crochet is taller and more open, and half double crochet strikes a balance between them. Knowing how to increase and decrease stitches helps shape your work for hats, clothes, and amigurumi. With this, you’re ready for more advanced projects!

14. “The most difficult crochet project I’ve made so far, but it’s just so cool!”

• “Thank you!! I used mainly used Kate Davies designs ard thir, one from lion brand fisherman’s wool, one from rowan felted tweed and a couple others I can’t quite remember the name of 😅 from wool warehouse!” © _Eomycota_ / Reddit

16. “The hardest thing I’ve crocheted so far.”

• “This is the infamous bee (a bumble variation) by Hooked by Robin. What made it hard was that I used Sherpa yarn so it was impossible to see the loops. I had to count out loud every time I made a stitch, and I had to frog at least half the rows because I couldn’t tell where I accidentally added or skipped a stitch.” © FutileFertility / Reddit

17. “beginner here, 1 month into crocheting and here’s what I’ve crocheted so far.”

• “Been crocheting for almost three years but I’m very impressed. Amigurumi is so hard for my fingers I barely make it, yet here you are making it the first month! Good job! Keep it up”
