Is there a pattern for the Iris flower you showed at the beginning?
@@maricharelhair yes! payhip.com/b/uPfYA
Hi there. Working on bonez and have a question about the diagonal up & down. In the pattern the “check mark” Takes up 2 stitches “boxes” Does that mean once we do the sc and the DC immediately below, do we then skip the next stitch and then do the next DC? I’m referring to line 38 of the pattern.
@Chickie12112 a diagonal stitch is always 2 stitches (2 boxes), so if the slant is across the second box, that's the stitch you're skipping.
Thank you!!
My new favorite channel! Please post more! You are the extremely talented!
@annatrusty thank you so much! It's been a busy 2024 but I have videos planned for next year💜
Since it’s in the round could I swap colors on the last stitch of the round instead of connecting with slip st?
@karlamontalvo2712 yes. This is actually an old technique and I don't connect in the round like this anymore. You should check out the other in-the-round tutorial ua-cam.com/video/62vdMuvNsBY/v-deo.htmlsi=cUObVgCRY8Us6uVd
@SixelDesign 🙏❤️
“2023 was too much for me…I’m ready for a fresh start.” 2024: Hold my beer. Maybe 2025 will be better…

Love LOVE all your designs!
Bellissimo tutorial, grazie 🖤💀💀💀🖤
I made a couple of these and they all look amazing. Great stash busters and a fun way to use some metallic yarns. I would love to buy the pattern after making so many of these, but cannot find the actual design or bauble patterns on your site or etsy, could you link it please? You should get paid for this work!
@LittleKaori thank you! The Mini Skulls pattern is available in my shop (just added the direct link to the description), but it doesn't include the ball tutorial. That's only available here, but I'll make a note to add a written tutorial to my website. I get paid for youtube views, so no need to pay for a separate ball pattern❤️
@@SixelDesign instantly purchased it! It even includes the hand warmers I've had on my WIP list since forever!!! Love it, the instructions look amazing. I'll definitely return to this video for the start of the bauble, and will keep the tutorial printed in my workbag. Thank you!
@LittleKaori awesome! Enjoy😁
Do you block your panels before assembling? I just made your sunflowers with acrylic yarn.
@@erinwenningham9992 not always, just when it really needs it. Pillow panels sometimes even themselves out when attaching them together.
I literally didn't know about mosaic crochet until last night, and now I've binged most of your tutorial videos (sometimes twice). You rock at describing and showing the stitches!! Are these special stitches ones you came up with? I've only found one other video for mosaic crochet using stitches other than single and doubles (and border stitches), but their special stitches were completely different.
@khshugochara1313 yes I came up with these. A lot of designers do things differently, so I'm not sure how they make theirs. Glad it's been working well for you!
This is still my absolute favorite pattern! I wear them all the time and even made a couple for friends and family, so so many thanks for sharing them! All of your patterns in general are so lovely, I'll probably always come back to them ❤
@bidsgee awe I'm so happy to hear that! 😁❤️
First one I made with a 5 mm hook was HUGE but gorgeous. Now making one with a 3mm and it's a perfect bauble size
You are amazing! I've learned mosaic from you. I recently bought your beginner pack and can't wait to try it!
@melissaswann74 thank you! I'm happy to share this awesome technique!
How come the join in this bag is different than the skulls bag? We are still working in the round. Or is it because its smaller? Just curious is all.
@karlamontalvo2712 because I designed this pattern after the skulls bag, when I was able to improve on the technique 😁 they both work, but this one is better in my opinion.
@SixelDesign oh ok that's great to know! I just didn't want to try it and mess it up lol appreciate you're reply 😊
Your work is epic!!!! Thank you!
GORGEOUS!!!!!
Moose 🫎 skulls or deer skulls for xmas ? Im going on a side quest lol
I don't know how to DM you. I was wondering if I maybe able to sell the Skull Christmas Balls in my Etsy shop, ty!😊
@AkoMurphy-q4q yes, that's fine with me!
@SixelDesign Awesome, tyvm, I love the patterns!💕
Wonderful
I thank you so much for this very clear and easy support in learning the really beautiful work with mosaic crochet pattern !!!
Oh wow so beautiful.
Im having trouble keeping the edge straight of the thumb hole where you need to cut yarn is there anything im doing wrong??
@altijdmarley3383 I'd have to see it. If you could send photos on IG or email, I might be able to help.
I bought your skull design and I’m anxious to learn the special stitches for this project!
Is there a part 2

@SixelDesign thanks i found it after I commented. I'm a little slow today lol. I do have a couple questions is there an email that's easier to ask you these questions?
Wow, this is so beautiful and logic (surprisingly to me!) You really made me want to keep going with mosaic crochet :)
@@AudreeAdam thank you! I'm so glad to hear that! 😁
Thank you !! I am working on one of your blankets and i was using red heart and i was having a lot of issues.
Nice, I use the same counting method for increases cuz I hate having to constantly count and my ADHD just can't track where I'm at without counting outloud lol
I'm so sad that it's like 8 days until Halloween and I'm just seeing this. Of course, I bought it but it won't be done in time 😢. I'll probably make some wall hangs. Thanks for your spooky stuff!
@@jonathansfavorites now you have a whole year to make it 😁
Thank you!❤
This skull is worked different thennthe all skulls mosaic blanket. Is the result the same? Thank you
@@EMTlife86 that's because there are other stitches around the skulls in the blanket to make it rounded. This one is different.
@SixelDesign thank you for explaining it. I thought I was wrong the whole time till I pulled out the pattern lol. Great tutorial tysm!
Not me crocheting a blanket with mercerized cotton while watching this video 😂 But if you're in the south like me and a super breathable cotton is essential for blankets, my trick is instead of just crocheting through back loops, do the back loop and the third loop. Mercerized cotton likes to get really distorted on just the back loop and create some big holes. But crocheting through both those back loops tightens down that front loop. When you're doing special stitches where you might ned two DCs in one front loop, just grab one of those other loops on the front. It ensures that front loop doesn't get too long and prevents the opposite color from peeking through.
I just bought one of your patterns from etsy (you are so talented!) and this will be my first mosaic piece and all your videos have been very helpful! you explain it so well! Thank you!
@@vide0lover thank you!!❤️ have fun!
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I’m diving in going to do this.
OMG It Is awesome 🤩🤩🤩I am gonna start this bag right away. Thank you 🤗
I just bought this pattern....it's amazing... people like you who design patterns are not only excellent crafters but most of all true artists...

This is going to sound like a stupid question but...if I want my skulls white do I just switch the colors around?
@@lauriegarant1574 the skulls in the tutorial are white
Thank you so much for showing us how to make your lovely designs💜
Hello! I’ve just purchased one of your mosaic patterns and am so excited to get started. Thank you for providing this video. Do you happen to have a video demonstration of the border stitch?
@caitrepp1407 yes, that's covered in the beginners tutorial, linked on the first page of the pattern
Very cool. Thank you💘
is the third row when you first do the mosiac thing, do you colour change for the double chrochets?
@lesyamicallef6616 the 3rd row is when the mosaic pattern starts. There are no color changes... please watch the video to see how the technique is worked.
Hello, I absolutely love this video and omg the end result is awesome! The colours of the yarn are amazing. I wanted to make this for my brother since he loves DND. Could you please tell me what type of yarn did you order from evergreen yarn studio, since there are a lot of categories of it on the website. Please let me know! ❤️
@Zumbabazinga132 it's in their "made to order" section, and I used Evergreen Worsted. Glad you like the project!!
@@SixelDesign thank you so much!!❤️
My finger and wrists joints are going to have to come out of crochet retirement to work your patterns! These are fabulous. And thank you for taking time to do these tutorials.
