During July, we will be bringing you a series of circles. The written patterns can be found in our Facebook group: / 1991219211176473 More circles can be found on the playlist: • Unit 9 - Circles Happy Hooking! 🔵⚫⭕🔵⚫⭕🔵⚫⭕🔵⚫⭕🔵⚫⭕🔵⚫⭕
A friend gave me some old doilies and I eanted to repurpose them by converting them; to squares in order to make a beautiful vest out of them. This is really going to be helpful! Thank you very much!!
This is the best mathematical explanation METHOD l have found for circle squaring... ONE CANNOT CROCHET WITHOUT THIS KNOWLEDGE : Three types of stitches are "ALWAYS" used in sqaring ALL circles. ONCE LEARNT THIS METHOD, YOU NEVER FORGET !!!! Thank you madam.....trust the ENGLISH TO SIMPLIFY MATTERS:
Supposed to crochet a star, turned into a flower 🤪. So I worked it into a circle in the next row to then turn into a square but got stuck!!!! Thanks for an amazing video with super clear instructions and visuals 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much for the tutorial - very helpful indeed! Would you be so kind to provide a similar formula for a circle that contains 6 rounds (72 stitches in total)? I have followed your step-by-step tutorial above to conform to a large circle, but somewhere along the way, I tend to err in my calculations. Your help would be so appreciated!
Sorry that I haven't seen this message sooner. Did you work it out with a spiral or has it been relegated to the 'deal with it later' box?!😁 If not, I would say it should work. Just count how many stitches you have on the outer rim, counting from the last stitch, back to the one next to the last bit on the row below. Use the calculations method I show in this video. Just be aware that in the area where last stitch of spiral meets the one on the row below, the squaring up stitches may look slightly out of line /height. If so, it could be discreetly fixed....do your maths as per video, make that 'row below' stitch be right near a corner. Check what stitch you worked out for that place, then, for that ONE stitch, make it one stitch or a half stitch taller. e.g. sc into an extended sc or hdc, hdc into dc, dc into tr or extended tr. Hope this helps. 😊
Sorry that I've only just seen this message. To make the next round of the square, you would just do one stitch into each stitch, and then make corners in the corner space. If you want a more closed/ tight corner, use something like 2DC-CH1-2DC. Or try 3DC-CH1-3DC. This also gives a very neat corner using single crochet as an edging round. For a more open corner, try 2CH between stitches. These chain spaces will be the corner working space on the next round. Alternatively, you can make an odd number of stitches in the corner space and no chains. For DC, 5 is a good number. On the next round, you would make your corner stitches into the 3rd stitch (the middle stitch). If the corner pulls a little, make the middle stitch one stitch taller. Let me know if you need any clearer instructions. Trial and error works well for this, to just see which look you prefer 😊
If you mean more than one round of squaring...do the first round as in video, then next round, make one stitch in each stitch, and at corners make 2 stitches, chain 1 or 2, and 2 more stitches, all in the corner space. You can continue this way until it is as big as you want it to be.
I'm sorry you feel this way. It is the way several of us from the BTC team would do it. And from other comments it looks like it has at least been helpful. 😊
