Ok.. I lied… it’s actually 2 questions…
.
Apart from the obvious one “what are you knitting?” from a stranger in doctor’s waiting room or a passer by in a coffee shop…
#crochet #crochetgarments #crochetpattern #crochetsweater #crochetcardigan #howtocrochetforbeginner #howtocrochet
The second one is “have you made a gauge swatch?” …
.
If you’re a repeat offender and proud member of the “I do not swatch club” …
.
you need to pause and grab a ticket to my 5 Day Crochet Challenge To Get you Making A Garment!
.
Don’t underestimate the power of a gauge swatch and if you just rolled your eyes 👀
.
let me convince you why you should make a gauge swatch!
.
And not just that, I will show you how to substitute yarn, calculate yarn amounts, how to choose the right pattern and size, how to read a written pattern and so much more!
.
Grab a ticket via the link in my bio and let’s have some fun!

I wish pinning crochet items for blocking would be this fast! 😂
Even the dog got bored of it 🤦🏼♀️😂
.
But you can see that this step is definitely worth it when it comes to delicate lacy crochet items!

Start your crochet garment making journey the right way!
The most important step of the journey is crochet gauge!
.
Crochet gauge is a number of stitches and rows within given area. To complete the sweater to the size states in the crochet pattern, you need to match the gauge of the pattern designer!
That way you will make yourself a well-fitting crochet sweater!
.
If you’ve never heard of crochet gauge or you have but it still confuses the hell out of you, join me for the Crochet Gauge Basics mini course that has launched today!

What is your favorite stitch for crochet garments?
.
I find half double crochet combines the best of both worlds - no huge gaps but the fabric still has drape!
Now you go - let me know below!

Start the week as you mean to go on!
.
If you’ve been putting off crocheting a garment - don’t!
.
It can feel like a daunting task, but you remember that work email you were struggling to write? Or say NO to things other people took for granted? Or took the plunge and left a comfortable job to try a new venture!
.
It can all feel too big, bigger than us… but you won’t know until you try!
.
If you get stuck, I can always help (with crocheting a garment, not that awkward work email to your boss) , just DM me!

Blocking your finished crochet pieces it’s essential when it comes to making sure that your items are neat with professional finish.
You can make blocking as complicated or as easy as you want it to be.
Most of the time I don’t completely soak the crochet pieces, very often it is enough just to lightly spray them with a mist of water and fabric softener.
Make sure you pin the crochet pieces to the stated dimensions in the pattern or to make them look neat.
You can see what a difference blocking makes with my Lianna crochet granny square, the pattern is free on my blog bluestarcrochet.com.
Make sure you let it completely dry for at least 24 hours then unpin and you are good to go.

Puff stitch is the trickiest out of the three textured stitches - popcorn and bobble.
• This is due to the consistency in tension you have to perfect for even puffs.
• However, with a little practice, you'll master it in no time!
