Squares, squares, squares! I absolutely love the look of mitered squares in an afghan. For those in search of something a little more interesting than a basic square, a mitered square might be just the ticket. Worked from one corner to the opposite outside edge, a mitered square is perfect for those occasions when you need the end result to be a square, but you don't know how far your yarn will go - or you're simply unsure at what point you'll get tired of working on it and decide that it's 'big enough.'

Apr 27, 2021 09:11 AM
The mosaic crochet stitch tutorial features a beautiful mosaic crochet technique. It creates a lovely zig zagging v-shaped crochet pattern. Mosaic crochet, despite how complex it looks, only requires a few stitches, two contrasting yarn colors, and some care when it comes to counting. For the majority of Mosaic crochet designs you will probably be using just 2 colors, so to avoid the tedium of weaving in hundreds of loose ends you will probably want to carry the unused color up the side of your work.

I think we’ve all been there. You’ve knit a beautiful pair of socks, a hat or sweater only to find out that the cast on ended up too tight. Even though you had swatched and everything seemed to match the needed gauge (if you have missed my post about gauge, please check it here: https://lifehack.craftorator.com/121-guide-to-crochet-knitting-gauge.html)  Some projects need a cast on with more stretch to it than your usual cast on might offer.

Crochet Basics: 2 Methods of Joining Your Work Together

Oct 19, 2020 08:13 AM
Once you’ve mastered crochet shapes, the final part is to join your crochet shapes together! Fortunately there are different methods, using either a yarn needle or a crochet hook, and all of which have their own individual qualities. To join pieces of crochet, it’s often simplest to stitch them together, but you can also use a crochet hook as well. You’ll get the least visible seam using slip stitch to join pieces. Double crochet forms a ridge at the seam which can make a feature on the right side. When yo...
