Thank you very much for the tutorial. Will there be a free version available on your blog, please? I was looking for the link and I couldn't find it. Thanks
Thank you so so so much for this explanation. I too have struggled with the oval but now I will always remember the construction of it. That was so nice of you to share it. Thank you again and again and greetings from Michigan. ❤❤❤
Made one for myself and I love the border design! I made mine a light grey, but it wasn’t as long from the tip of the triangle to the longest side, but I think that might just be my gauge? It’s still pretty either way, thank you for the pattern!
Working on a project with 170+ chains. It's a vintage pattern that is very important to me. I've miscounted so many times. You saved me so much time!! Thank you!!
I'm sure this has been mentioned already, but just in case it hasn't been - your written instruction for the last stitch of row ten doesn't match with your video. The written instruction says to slip stitch and in the video you single crochet. Thought you'd appreciate knowing. :)
You could use a thinner yarn and a smaller hook which would reduce the size. It would be quite tricky to adjust the pattern as you need certain amount of rounds to complete the pattern. Try using fingering weight yarn with 3 mm crochet hook. I hope that helps.
Beautiful but this tutorial is very confusing. In row 2,it looks like you flipped your work. I didn’t realize until I was already working row 2. It would be helpful in the beginning if you said for row 1 we’re going to make 5 double crochets. I want to make this but this tutorial is difficult. Hard to see what you’re doing 😕
So that's why my work was all weird, I was crocheting round 2 and the bookmark wasn't like in the video 😂 she flipped the shell. Maybe the tutorial isn't confusing, she just needs to explain a bit more because most of us follow the video by ear. And if I remember correctly in her written instructions on her blog, she didn't write to turn the shell 😅... I'm trying to watch it first to see if I can try one more time. It's a gorgeous bookmark, but the video is not that easy to follow unfortunately.
my bookmark got a more 110 degree angle, how do i fix it? i already sewed it together, it's a gift for someone so id like it to be as perfect as possible
Absolutely awesome! Except for the fact that at the very last row I end up having 17 sc instead of 18... Anyone else? Thank you for sharing this great tutorial ❤🇦🇷
Question: in the first row, we chain 5, and the last one is supposed to be a chain space. But when it is connected to row 2, it is from the 3rd stitch. Doesn't that make it 2 chain space ?
What also helps getting an even result on the purl stitch (and other stitches alike) is using a hook that isn't overly draggy or slippery on the yarn used. Having a regular foundation row that isn't more loosely or tight than that which turns out naturally in the purl stitch can make a big difference too. Playing around with swatches can make a huge difference there.
There are some pure cottons as well as viscose (blends) which do work out very smooth, even create good drape. Of course depending on stitch and hook size too of course. For what's I have tried so far those usually are the less dense, less twisted ones. When working too loose they will get out of shape more easily though. Also, some of the more voluminous untreated soft cottons which are a little less flowing do give an infinite mossy mushiness in return in particular in the knit stitch.
