      to make teeth sharper, you can make a pico from one loop on top of a double crochet stitch

    What's better than a symmetry-breaking sassy croc? Uh, nothing?!
    I was going to ask if you had plans for more complex patterns with funky shapes (and also larger/more huggable), but you kinda beat me to it!
    Love the twisted pose and the striped back, it's a really clever design! The teeth are awesome too, not just embroidered on!
    I think I get way to excited about crochet, I've been working on a tricky pattern lately and I'm loving it, and I want more 😅

    if I were to do this left handed, will there be complications or will it turn out different? I learned to crochet left handed so I don't know if there will be issues doing it left handed compared to right handed (and I dont mind learning right handed, but that might be a longer process :'3)

    @crocodileteeth6994 Рік тому

    Hi! I love this pattern so much and I want to make one in the next few days. I am wondering though, if I wanted to make it larger and softer would the pattern still work using a chunky yarn and bigger hook? Or should I just stick to the same yarn and hook size you use? I’m a little newer to crochet so I’m not sure how different yarn size crosses over. Thank you!

    • @ComplicatedKnots

    I make the bottom and it’s backwards, and if I make the top, it’s too short. Could you help?

    • @ComplicatedKnots
      @ComplicatedKnots  2 роки тому +1

      Hi! The bottom being backwards is a bit odd, does flipping the top piece over help them match? As for the top being too short, first thing I'd check is if your yarns are the same size. It is meant to be a pretty tight fit. If it's only a little too short you could add a row or two of sc to lengthen the tail?

    I'm having problems with R10 and R11, I'm not sure if its wrong or if I'm doing it wrong but I had to change R10 to 3sc, inc to get 22 stitches at the end, then with R11 I can't do it at all because I'm only getting 32 with doing 4sc, inc, 3sc, inc. Do I try and get the amount of stitches the row says it needs or do I do the stitches it says?

    how do you decrease so seamlessly? my decreases (using the generic method mentioned in the video description) always end up lumpy! :-(

    • @ComplicatedKnots
      @ComplicatedKnots  2 роки тому +2

      Try using invisible decreases instead! You pick up the front loop only of the two stitches you are decreasing into, yarn over and pull up a loop. Then yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook to complete the stitch. Anything other than that is probably just tension and practise :)

    Hello again Complicated Knots. I have a question about the legs. Do you crochet in the yellow stitches in the Triple crochet or do you skip them completely? I’m almost done with my Crocodile. I just need to make the legs. Please reply to this comment as soon as possible.

    • @ComplicatedKnots
      @ComplicatedKnots  Рік тому

      You treat the triples like any other stitch (work into them). The only difference is that being super long, they'll bulge out to create toenails.

    • @ComplicatedKnots
      @ComplicatedKnots  3 роки тому

      Hmmmm, it's a bit tricky to say without seeing him, but my best guesses would be 1) Is the positioning of the legs causing the issue? 2) Are the stripes of the croc top laying flat against the base piece? His neck does curve up slightly from the head, but it shouldn't be hunching him over.
