    I think where it said one double crochet over two double crochet, it means to decrease by crocheting the two stitches together.

    • @gabriellaglass6157
      @gabriellaglass6157 10 місяців тому +7

      That’s what I was thinking as well after seeing the next few round add less after the first 18 singles

    • @Blair_MUA

      Yes definitely a decrease!

    • @firegodessreiko
      @firegodessreiko 7 місяців тому +2

      Exactly this. Sounds like an Invisible Decrease to me! And then the stitch count appears to be going down after. It pays to have started with amigurumi, I guess!

    • @CandiceOutlaw
      @CandiceOutlaw 7 місяців тому +1

    I was liking the bone crochet hook. I remembered my grandmother crocheting rag rugs back in the 40’s and 50’s with a wooden hook that she had whittled out herself. The rugs were beautiful

You are AWESOME-- keep up the amazing work! ❤😊❤😊❤

  • @karmagal78
    @karmagal78 10 місяців тому +23

    Instead of masking tape, should use painters tape. It lifts easier because it’s made to lift off instead of sticking to.

    • @gangoolie68
      @gangoolie68 10 місяців тому +3

      Or scotch magic tape. It looks invisible you can write or use a sharpie on it and it definitely lifts up.

    • @firegodessreiko
      @firegodessreiko 7 місяців тому +1

      They also make highlighter tape that works quite well. Works even better if you slip your pattern into a plastic sleeve first. Then no masking tape, painters tape OR highlighter tape will lift the ink off of your patterns.

  • @MrsCraftyChris
    @MrsCraftyChris 10 місяців тому +20

  • @LaurieMcKee-pc7pc
    @LaurieMcKee-pc7pc 10 місяців тому +14

    When I made mine I worked 18 rows of ribbing to start. Of course I had the picture to count 9 ridges! This made the 10 red stitches work out perfectly on each side of instep. Hope this helps others!

    I wouldve added 2 perhaps 3 white rounds on heel side to fix my mistake first and then start the leg bit. When they said 16 more rows you should've done 16 more. And at reducing rows I think you skipped 1 plain row and you could've perhaps gone up to high when grabbing the sides on top of foot

    41:58 i think what happened is at the beginning you did 16 rows instead of 2+16 since it wasn’t clear whether it was a total of 16 or add 16 to the two you already did. That’s likely why there were stitches missing when doing the 10 sc in cardinal yarn for the heel part.

    Well a booty makes sence...they are cute, you are right, they are very easy to adjust to bigger sizes! After finding out what is ment in the pattern it is pretty easy. Thank you so much for figgering it out. I gues the boarder should go on both sides of the middle (going down and up) so you have the look of a real boot.
