After some searching I found a few tutorials on YouTube, including a series on Yarn Muse. She does mess up and can be a little unclear at times (because she's winging it), but for the most part I understood her. And of course there are a bunch of people selling their patterns on Etsy. Just look at this gorgeous piece by Bonita Patterns (makes me weep with jealousy):
I REQUIRE this patternThe stitch is surprisingly simple too! Because it's just a series of DCs and chains, I've decided I'm going to make a skirt!! I'm pretty terrified to be honest, I mean I have never made a crocheted bottom before. Plus this stitch looks like it will be a total yarn monster (but that'll work out fine since I'm known for hoarding craft supplies). Who knows, hopefully I'll even finish by 2012 ;P
ahhhhh-mazing!
ReplyDeleteyou always make me so excited about crocheting
A skirt!!! Yes!! I have been trying to figure out how to make a fishnet skirt I can wear over leggings or jeans. I need to find some obnoxious fluoro cotton first!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great to hear Stina, I want EVERYONE to be excited about crocheting!!
ReplyDeleteNatalie <3 That sounds awesome, I've found a couple mesh dress patterns on CCC and I know there are millions of hand spun/dyed yarns on Etsy in colors that make my eyes hurt ;) I'll excitedly await updates on it!
ooooh! The second I saw this, I ran over to youtube and tried it. Like, before I could even comment to tell you how awesome it is. I am so rude. Anyway, your skirt is going to be SO GOOD, I can tell already! Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteI've got a bit of it done now and I just don't know... ;\ I'm at that weird stage of a project where half of you hates it and the other half just wants it to be over already!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm forever late for this... but I love the crocodile stitch but... no matter what tuttorial or patter I follow it's always wrong. >.< LOL
