Does anyone on here have any experience with crocheting a picture blanket? I was thinking of trying it out but have no idea where to start. I considered Tunisian but then I saw where someone else used single crochet. I the pictures I need in a pixel art form, but I don't know how to actually create what I am seeing in my head. I am including a picture of what my idea will basically look like. I tried reaching out to someone who did something similar but unfortunately it seems like they are no longer available on the platform I found them on. Thank you in advance to anyone that can help me out!

Hey everyone!!! I'm looking at purchasing a board for blocking my 2024 crochet along squares.  What would you all recommend?

Hi Tiffany, I'm not sure if I can post this here or if I should post it in another section.  I heard of this a few months back and was able to make and finish and mail off one blanket for this blanket donation drive to Camp Boggy Creek in FL, it's a camp for kids with chronic illnesses.  The kids get to go for free and each kid gets to take home a hand made crochet or knit blanket with their own sewn teddy bear.  The ladies who are running the blanket donation drive will start recollecting blankets in Aug 2024 of this year.  

If you would like more information you can find it on the following YouTube channels:  @ShezgotYarn  ,  @CharmedGrammyCrochet  ,  @ninasknotscrochet  and  @CraftyFloridian  .

The requirements for the blankets, they must be knit or crochet and be the following size: 30" to 40" wide by 40" to 50" long. Thanks and I hope we can all chip in and help and reach the new goal for 2024- 2025!!

Here is a link to the video that was created by the camp from when the blankets were dropped off from the ladies running the blanket drive and dropping off all the blankets on 2/13/24.

I seen in one of your videos that you had a hippo. Where can I find that pattern?

I am still a beginner. I am working on the wrapped in love baby blanket using Caron big cakes yarn weight size 4. I made my foundation chain 148 which reached 40” but now that I’ve finished row 4 and I measured it the length went to 47”. Can I just leave it or should I start over. What do you suggest Tiffany?

Gauge question….. my gauge is 10cm = 18 dc and 8 rows = 10cm. 

My 18 dc matches. But my rows do not. What do I do?  How do I adjust?

I need some help with this pattern, I have enlarged the filet pattern as stated in the pattern. But I think the pattern might be wrong on the count of stitches. So my question is the written pattern does not match the pattern chart.

Example row 2 and 3

Row 2: Ch 2, tr 27, ch 1, sk 1, tr 31, ch 1, sk 1, tr 28 and turn.

Row 3: Ch 2, tr 25, ch 1, sk 1, tr 3, ch 1, sk 1, tr 27, ch 1, sk 1, tr 3, ch 1, sk 1, tr 26 and turn.

Now the chart blocks white ones do they represent stitches ? If so when you come to the black block that is the ch 1 sk 1 do you count the next st as the start of the group of stitches? I have frogged out the first 6 rows at least20 times. I am not a beginner crocheter. I consider myself advanced but this written to chart is confusing. Hope that is clear what I am asking.

Question on blocking. I am making my first garment. The fiber is cotton/bamboo and is machine washable. The pattern says to block but I have also been told that blocking isn’t as important when fibers are machine washable. So…. Block or not?  

Tiffany do you have a granny square bucket hat pattern. I have seen some but can't remember where I found it. I hope you have a great one. Please let me know.
