Hi, good question! There are photos on my blog, you can find the link in the video description. 😊💕

I’m so glad you liked it! 😊💕

@@susanfryer1616 😊🙏💕

On the sewing machine? I would usually use 2-3 for straight stitch on my machine but it might be different to yours…

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊💕

Hmm not sure about that one sorry! It’s a tricky shape….

@@crochetlovemelbourne understandable! i might have to do like a quilted way and make the spikes each their own fabric panel

@tristanegbert that sounds like a great idea! 😊👍

Actually on further thought could you crochet edge bits to fill in the gaps do it makes a circle? A circular fabric backing would be pretty easy?

My pleasure! Glad you like it! When I am not travelling I plan to make them into a blanket using join as you go technique.❤

@@hannekenauta7 No problem! Glad you liked it! 😊💕

@@cesariowaller6453 thanks so much, great ideas and look forward to seeing your makes!

Yes the Earthside blanket pattern is available to purchase in all of my shops, links are in description below video.

Hooray! Hope it goes well!! 😊💕

Great idea! Thanks for your comment! 😊

No problem! Glad it helped! 😊💕

Hi there! There are four short straps because you use buckles in the middle to join the two short straps so they are adjustable. if you don't care about them being adkjustable you could just make two long straps. Hope that clarifies ? feel free toast again if you have any further questions.😊💕

I am not sure how you got more stitches, but it’s very easy to do! My suggestion is when you’re joining the next round maybe skip a stitch to join it so you lose a stitch and go the same in the following row?

@@crochetlovemelbourne thank you for your comment! Actually, I get less stitches (should be 84, I get only 82). I added these two stitches at the beginning of the row and in the middle, but I am still a bit confused how could that happen

@@nataliaeltsova9337 even though it's not s super difficult pattern, it is very easy to not get the right amount of stitches. If it were me I would rip it out and do it again because I think at some point in the rows you must have lost a stitch or two? Sorry I know that's probably not what you want to hear....

@@crochetlovemelbourne haha that’s exactly what I did: frogged a half. Now building it up slowly. Hope this time I’ll get my perfect hat

@@nataliaeltsova9337 Ooh I hope so! good luck!!

Yes, if it ends on a cluster as it should you would dC before doing sl st to join the round. Sorry for the delay in replying, hope it's not too late!

Yes, but using a different yarn will just make it bigger, so I think you can only give it a try and see if you’re happy with the size and make sure the larger hook doesn’t make the fabric too holey ( which won’t matter if you’re adding a lining)

Thank you!😊💕

Thank you! The video only gives the basic directions, but you can find the flower pattern in many places online! Let me know if you want me to find you the flower!

Good question! In this video the squares were made from Lincraft cotton which was fingering weight, held double plus a thicker beige cotton. I can’t remember what the yellow joining yarn was it’s a DK cotton yarn. I generally use cotton yarn as I like the definition and usually from Hobbii yarns or Lincraft ( Australian yarn store )

Same with round 10, it looks like youre skipping the first loop but when i did that the first time and got to round 13 i only had 6 fans

Have you looked at the free written pattern on my blog? Rounds 8 and 9 : Sc 1 back into lp just formed, * ch 5, sc 1 into next lp* repeat from * to * ending with ch 2, dc 1 into first sc. Hope that helps! 😊💕

@@alyssathigpen4536 Rounds 10 - 12 : Sc 1 back into lp just formed, * ch 6, sc 1 into next lp* repeat from * to * ending with ch 2, tr 1 into first sc. I think you may not have done the first sc 1 backwards into the the loop just formed? hope you were able to work it out!

Thank you so much I worked it out!

@alyssathigpen4536 oh, that’s great, sorry if it’s confusing. It is quite a challenge to make but worth it in the end! Please ask if any more issues,!

Thank you! 😊💕

So glad you like it! Thanks so much for commenting 😊💕

You can use any yarn you like! I think I have understood correctly that you're asking if it is OK to use a 50% polyester and 50% acrylic yarn? That's fine! 😊💕

Yes you have understood my answer 😊. I will try. Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse. Très belles journées à vous

Hooray! 😊💕@@geraldineg.9684

So glad you like it! 😊💕

Oh, so glad you like them! 😊💕💕

Thank you! What other uses were you thinking of?

@@crochetlovemelbourne I’m not sure - pretty bus pass cover? Credit card wallet? Hmm… 🤔 You could prettify any kind of cheap case or small holder with it I think 😊

@FionaC1 True! I love when people do their own spin on my ideas ! 😊💕

Yes sorry I know round 13 sucks but once you work it out it’s worth it! Or maybe I am just really bad at writing down patterns and should just do videos 😂💕💕

Nah, sometimes I need both written and video instructions @@crochetlovemelbourne

That's great that you're onto the second one and good to know talking about the UK terms is helpful, I will do it more often! 😊💕

Sooo, both times I say 42 sts, not sure why that is confusing? I am just explaining it in more detail at 14:29 , I.e. exactly how to make sure you get 42 sts, but to be honest the number of stitches doesn’t matter that much as the most important thing is that it fits you, or whoever you are making it for, so definitely try it on you or them and then decide what the best number of stitches may be! Now you’re probably more confused 😂💕

Have fun! 😊💕

Hi, it’s the trickiest row for sure! I think you possibly have made a mistake where it says in 13a to sc back into the loop just formed, if you sc into the wrong place it will result in not enough stitches. All you can do is to frog and repeat till it works sorry and watch the video very carefully whilst also looking at the written pattern on the blog. If you have purchased the pattern it should be clear in the step by step photos. Please let me know if this reply helps.

Yes sorry, I don't usually have music during the video, but I just wanted some kind of transition and it was difficult to kind of pack all the info I wanted into the video. I am very self- taught as you know, so still learning how to actually do this! Will definitely take that on board for the next video, thanks for the constructive criticism! Unfortunately it might be too late to change this one but I will have a look.

I also didn't realise my voice was quiet, I will use a proper microphone next time then..

@@crochetlovemelbourne I could hear your voice when I turned up a notch, it was just the balance of volume with the music. I hope you don’t take this as a criticism - I can’t imagine ever being brave enough to make crochet tutorial videos so admire you doing so well 😀

Oh not at all, your comment is very helpful, I have a thick skin and it’s something I will be careful of in the next video. I will give anything a go, it’s never a mistake, just a lesson learned to do better next time!! 😊💕

Thank you! 💕

I bought them from someone on Instagram a long time ago in a huge lit, but I can’t remember who it was!! I would suggest searching on eBay and Etsy for magnetic closures as lots of people sell them. Yes, they’re perfect for that kind of bag!

@@crochetlovemelbourne Thank you!!! :)

Heart squares are so much fun and easy as well, enjoy! 😊💕

Thank you!😊💕

You could try, however it will probably be quite large as it is designed for a thinner yarn. Depends on what head size you are making it for, if for a larger adult it might work but I think it might be a bit big. I would try with a 3.00 mm if not too hard to crochet with that thickness of yarn.

@@crochetlovemelbourne thank you. I'll give it a go and see how it works up ☺️

Always worth a try! Normally I would say reduce a few stitches but a bit tricky with this pattern. Definitely do rounds 16-18 with a smaller hook to tighten it a bit! Let me know how you go!

Great!
