The stitch counts are calculated to give a 90 degree turn after every pyramid. If you change that, you might get a different type of toy. I can't say what the issue is without at least a photo of the project.
There actually wasn't an issue 😂 just me second guessing myself 😅 it turned out perfect and absolutely amazing!! Thank you for the quick response and thank you for the pattern!!
@@ginger22rena aw, just watch it on very slow (0.25) and repeat my movements in your swatch. Turn on CC to see what I'm saying at the same time. It's really not complicated once you know how stitches are built.
I've just made the last stich. I didn't have that kind of yarn, so I tried cotton and rice to fill because I did not have the stuffing. But it turned out beautiful,thank you for such a clear tutorial. Greetings from Argentina
@@YarnAndy it doesn't make any sounds , I think it's a bit smaller than the one you made. The feeling to the touch is nice though. But I don't think filling it with rice is good if the toy is going to be washed ... I just couldn't wait to make it ,so I used the material I had ,and I loved it! I'll make nicer ones. I posted a reel on Instagram with the toy and tagged you.
@@kanmanishankar739 you can buy it in any craft store or any shop that sells fleece lap blankets. You can find them here in most clothes and home goods shops.
I’ve never tried tunisian it looks simple ❤ I’ve been crocheting for a couple of years now. I’m so happy I ran across your tutorial I’m going to give this pattern a try!!! Thank you 🙏 so very much! By the way your piece is beautiful 😊
Thanks! I hope you try this and many other tutorials for Tunisian I have on here. This is a starting point for various types of projects, so I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks! I really tried wearing it, it's comfy in the heat, but it feels like I'm wearing a heavy nightgown that irritates my hands when I crochet. I'll make the plain body at some point.
I'm confused about how you're getting a diagonal look when you crochet; I'm getting a square look. Additionally, mine looks WAY bigger than yours. I'm clearly doing something wrong.
Not sure what you mean by diagonal. Do you mean the x shape of the stitches? Yarn under, yarn over technique. As for size, what yarn are you using? Mine is chunky, 120 meters per 100 g. Which hook size? What kind of tension do you have? It all plays a role.
First, that dress looks perfect on you-love it! It might not be what you imagined or hoped but it’s definitely worth keeping without modification. I also love your jumper and hope you find the inspiration to work the pattern out as it’s something I WANT for myself!!!! You are talented and creative and your vlog gives me inspiration. Tunisian crochet is kinda addictive
Thank you! It might work for others, so I'll leave options in the pattern, just like with the Mulberry dress. I will prioritize the gray sweater, I've overcome that obstacle of what to do with the lace at the top. I'll keep it simple.
I love the Larimar capelet, but will keep it for our summer, so I can work on something lacy then. Winter here now, so I'm working on a warm Tunisian cardigan which I've almost finished. Have you seen the knit pattern 'Kaver' by Norah Gaughan, which uses hexagons in an interesting type of construction, I think it would be fun to try that in Tunisian-C.
@@wendygibbs4210 huh, hadn't seen that one before. Looks like an interesting construction, but I wonder how it scales for bigger sizes. That front V becomes deeper and wider and there's no side seam either. There's another similar design in the same book, called Taku, has a few more projects. Yesterday I was actually contemplating making a Tunisian version in the same construction as the dark blue one. Once I fix the shape of the front piece, that is 😅
I appreciate your constant work at size inclusivity! I happen to have lost a lot of weight recently but now I need to go through all my bigger crochet garments and decide what to do with them. Some were definitely learning experiences but some I am very fond of and wish I could still wear! Have a great August.
Aw, that's a reason to keep making things, right? I'm sure for some you could take the sides in, for some that are made in pieces and seamed you can take the seams out and make new seams, and with the rest you can be fashionable and wear them oversized. I hope you also have a great month of August!
I really enjoy everything that you make. I also wanted to tell you how much I appreciate it when you show the mistakes that you make as well. it totally normalizes it for the rest of us and it is helpful to know how you will fix those mistakes. I do not know how to knit but your knit work is so very inspiring. Currently still working on the Ipsa CAL with Arunima and friends. I intend to buy some of your patterns soon. I want to get some practice with short rows. I don't make shawls, but I really enjoy making sweaters so I am excited that you might be coming out with more sweater designs this fall. Take all of the time that you need. Don't push yourself if you aren't feeling it. We need you and your beautiful content, so please don't burn out.....take care of you!!
Hold on to that thought, we don't yet know what Arunima is preparing for next year! There's also this new TCAL she's hosting in August. I just found out yesterday about it. Oh, and speaking of mistakes, that front panel for the hexagon cardigan is entirely wrong, so it will get frogged and remade. Just realized yesterday as I was working on the captions. Oops. I think for the gray sweater there will be lace only up to the neckline shaping, then the instructions should be easy to write up. No need to complicate things.
I like the dress! No way would I be cutting and re-crocheting and all that. I would put a belt on it and go. The wispy cape is lovely too. I’d be most likely to make the cape with the feather wedges. You’re very talented!!
Ah, I wish I could wear it with a belt. I crocheted one in the same yarn and tried it like that, but the fabric bunches and it's too thick (Tunisian crochet...), so it's not comfy. But I'll leave the whole lace wedge in the pattern so folks can start wherever they want. As a tunic it probably would have felt different, but I "needed" a dress. And I was planning to make a dress in sock yarn for winter too... It will get made, but not in this shape.
It will work, but with thinner yarn you'll get a smaller toy. With thicker yarn, a bigger toy. Make one pyramid with your chosen yarn/hook combination and see.
@@YarnAndy absolutely! My daughter is a tiny 9 - I’m using Catania by Schachenmayr, it’s cotton but with a nice sheen to it - I had some leftover from some other projects - I like the softness of the velvet yarn for myself, but I think the sport weight cotton will add a soft, bumpy, rougher texture to the sensory aspect - my daughter has high anxiety in any social situ’s and her go to is to finger the seams of her shirts until her shirts are either ripped up the side or the cuffs are ripping right off of sweatshirts… I’m forever trying to find something she can finger without ruining her clothes - this might just work!! Thank you once again!!!
È stato il mio primo lavoro all' uncinetto tunisino, e mi ha appassionato subito! Molto molto carino il piccolo sole!☀️❤️. Pensi che sarebbe possibile farlo coi raggi un po' più lunghi e un po' più grande? Saluti dal sole dell'Italia!! 😍😘😘
Not entirely. The full stitch is a loop picked up between stitches, this one is picked up in an eyelet, which is a stitch. You can do it by going through the eyelet or behind the front vertical bar of the eyelet. I prefer the first option. What results is something that looks like a Tss.
Thanks! That's awesome, I hope they have a lot of fun with this toy. There are more similar shapes you can explore as well, although we don't have crochet patterns for them yet.
Hi Andrea, it was great to see you and I’m glad you are feeling better. Everything you should look beautiful and I’m very impressed with all of the patterns you have made and are designing. Can’t wait to see the dress finished and your new website!
Thank you, you too! Just saw you on Etsy, did you find the video before or after the patterns on Etsy? I'm just asking to see if I need to add more details to the descriptions on Etsy, so folks know that some patterns also have free video tutorials, even though I'm not allowed to link them on there.
@@YarnAndy I found your video on youtube first and noticed your link in the description box. I went to your page on Etsy. I plan to purchase it to go along with the video since I am so new to Tunisian crochet. Maybe you could just mention in the pattern that there is a video tutorial as well. I didn't even know you could tunisian in the round.
Melanie, you know that if you want to test the knit Plumaria, all you have to do is say the word. The Macaw wings... I don't have yarn for that yet, but it will get made.
❤ I’m looking forward to the Tunisian in the round tutorial. The hearts pattern looks nice 😊 (and thank you for reading my comment!) Hope you fully recover from the flu soon!
Thank you! Yes, that video needs to be edited. Not sure if it's the best. I always end up making videos for complicated topics, then have to dial it back to also show the basics and I'm not sure if I cover the basics properly enough. Oh well. Still haven't filmed the Tunisian knit stitch and its reverse... But it could be used in the round to make a reversible fabric. I'll have to film that first before publishing the video for working in the round.
Very pretty. One cake? (I just read your website pattern description: two identical cakes. ✌️) I'm going to try that. I'm currently working on a tank top. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing. 👍✌️
Thank you! Yes, there's a pattern for this with instructions and charts shop.yarnandy.com/rainbow-aurora-capelet-pattern/ There are links to other shops in there as well.
