I love this!!!! 🎅🎄🎅🎄 You could buy pin backs from Michael’s and make all the things you already have into your own brooches. Maybe super glue or extra strength hot glue to attach the pins to the ornaments? I really love the Christmas collar with it. ❤
I think it would be really fun and yarny if you bought some metal lobster clasps, attached all the little bobbles and Christmas stuff to them with some metal rings, and then made stitch markers out of them that you can clip on and off your sweater! That way your decorations are removable if you need to wash the sweater, you can change up the tree decorations every year, and you have a bunch of fun festive stitch markers to use on projects!
The sweater and collar are very cute. Another idea for the sweater would be to crochet the tree decorations and sew them on if you want something that you can wash easily. You can even make them 3D if you want something that sticks out. I think using novelty yarn would really come in handy for something like the garland and you could use glittery yarn to crochet a star at the top. You could also use ribbon. The possibilities are endless. Great job!
I have no words. I actually have no words. It’s perfect and amazing and is even making the World’s Biggest Grinch feel festive. I’d definitely love to create something similar for myself next year. As for the edge stitches where the tree meets the background, have you tried a surface single crochet? It doesn’t work with EVERY project, but my other go-to alternative is to use simple embroidery stitches in the same color yarn. Another idea is twisting/braiding the yarn together and sewing it down - time consuming, but VERY much worth the effort!
Currently crocheting a cheeseburger inspired by your other video while I watch this one! I can't wait to see how your Christmas sweater turns out this year 🎄
For the Susan Nate's plastic needles: take some sand paper to the part that snags and it stops getting caught on the yarn! So helpful when someone told me that. Love the tacky cute Christmas sweater!
To do a color change without those little side bumps when you make your single crochet, obviously you know to insert into the stitch, yarn over and pull up your loop, BEFORE YOU FINISH YOUR SINGLE CROCHET, you will yarn over WITH THE NEXT COLOR and pull through your loops with the new color. This will create a solid clean color change. If you just do your single crochets and then the next single crochet is the next color without slipping through with your new color it will create that jagged not so clean edge. Now if you are going for the little jagged edges since it is a tree it works out.
You can also wash on gentle cycle in one of those mesh bra bags and pin fabric over the front of the tree so it doesnt snag the other parts of the sweater - that would be quicker than detaching
I absolutely love this!!! I’m making a Christmas vest with a tree (I live in Texas and it’s hot during December) buuuut I’m using little clasps and attaching them to my mini ornaments so I can remove them easier and change them up if I want to. I also thought of using pins I’ve collected over the year. But anywhooooo I loveeee how yours turned out ❤💚
Love your Christmas tree! Soooo cute! I feel like the brooches may have been too heavy but hard to say. You can just spot wash it for a while and in the meantime enjoy it!
okay im doing this for christmas next year, i dont CARE if i live in a tropical country also before i watched the whole thing, i was gonna comment "why sew em on when you could safety pin them?" but then you mentioned the brooches lol
right now im working on a vest from your tutorial! thank you sooooo much for making this content! you inpire me too crochet more i also looooove your astetic ♥♥♥
wow !!! amazing i love it !! You did a great job. im not sure the broches would have been a better idea because of the weight !! The wires + broches, would have been even more heavy no ?
When you mentioned using procreate, do you use the Drawing Guide to make the graph design? I've been debating trying that for my next graph project. Import the reference image, Drawing Guide turned on, then on a new layer turn it into a pixel graph.
Yes! What i did was draw out my own grid using the drawing guide. I only had to do it once and I’ve been using the same grid for all my projects! Hope that helps 😊
@michelle_jasek ohhhh that's a good idea to make the basic graph it's own file! Gonna give that a shot. Thank youuuu! I've liked using stitchfiddle, but it's annoying having to edit it anyways because it doesn't translate complicated graphs well.
