First attempt at a blanket🌸

Here is the beginning of my 1st crochet blanket. It’s all half double stitches. Wish me luck! I’ll update once I finish it!

2024/10/17 Edited to

Crocheting has become increasingly popular among crafters of all skill levels, offering a therapeutic and creative outlet. For beginners, starting a blanket project is an excellent way to practice essential techniques like the half double stitch, which is both versatile and easy to learn. To make your crochet blanket uniquely yours, consider experimenting with different yarn colors and textures. Many crocheters recommend using a larger hook size for a cozier feel and faster progress. If you're looking for inspiration, platforms like Instagram and Pinterest abound with beautiful crochet designs and patterns. As you embark on creating your blanket, don't forget the crafting community is here to support you. Join local or online groups to share your progress, seek advice, and find motivation from fellow crafters. Wishing you luck on your crochet journey!

Cat blanket for Iris & my first attempt at a hat

A handmade, colorful crocheted blanket with various striped patterns in shades of pink, blue, brown, white, black, and grey, laid on a dark carpet. The blanket, described as a first project, shows a mix of solid and patterned sections.

I learned how to crotchet about two weeks ago, I threw myself into it so I wouldn’t be focused on grief and made an over 5 foot blanket in 6 days. I think I did pretty well for it being my first one, I know it’s not the best and it’s not even. But I think it’s pretty decent :) #crochet #crocheti
