    Hello! I am crocheting a shirt and after i finished crocheting the back panel i realised that the shape of the back part was a bit like an arch, and the top and bottom have very very uneven stichs. Will this trick work on my project?

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  4 місяці тому +1

      The arching , no I’m afraid not. It sounds like the starting chain might have been a bit tighter than the rest of the project. You might be able to fix that with blocking the piece.,
      It might help straighten out the uneven stitches if you aren’t joining them to other parts of the shirt . The only way to know for sure is to try it 💕

      @@higharchs yes because you're working sc's on top of those slip stitches so everything will be back to "normal" at that point. I recommend though that you make a practice front and back panel to test it before doing on your final piece so you can see how it will look. xx

    I discovered this technique just recently when I was making an envelope border for my mosaic crochet blanket. It does make a much better finish. The trouble I had was that my slip stitches were too tight and it was a pain to crochet into. I’m going to try it again but I will go up two hook sizes trying to get it loose enough especially since I’m a tight crocheter

      For squares I usually work a round of sc’s and at the join areas I sometimes do “2 sc together” to tighten that part up.

    Little bit confused as I am a new crocheter. After crocheting the row of slip stiches do you crochet over the top of the slip stitches or through the center of each slip stitch😢

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  9 місяців тому

      Well I guess it would best be described as going under the slip stitch . Watch the part where I’m working into the slip stitch and you’ll notice that there are two strands are yarn above the hook as I’m going in - that’s the v like shape that a stitch makes.

    I'm still a beginner so I haven't done many stitches just yet but I do like to learn new things. This is beautiful and made such a huge difference. Thank you for sharing and I usually do a thumbs up on videos when people put an effort into their work 😊
