I have admired your work for so long and now to have a free pattern and tutorial from you is so exciting. I so appreciate this video. It really helped to work out some problems I had experienced with this type of crochet. I have both yarns on hand so lets get started! Wish me luck!
Aww Karen, this makes me so happy!! You’ll do great... let me know if you have any questions along the way ☺️
@@TLBPatterns I do have one. I just printed the pattern, but the graph was not included. What have I done wrong? I have a total of 11 pages, but no graph. Help!
@@karenn993 Oh my goodness you are a lifesaver... I forgot to attach the graph to the pattern... Fixed!!! I just added it. If you don't want to post your email address here, send me an email at twolittlebirdspatterns@gmail.com and I'll reply with the full pattern and graph. So so sorry!!! And thank you for bringing that to my attention...
@@TLBPatterns Thanks, Emily. I just downloaded it again and will be able to just print that page.
@@karenn993 Wonderful!!! Again, thank you for bringing that to my attention... Have fun crocheting!!!
I really enjoyed this tutorial thank you so much. Very informative and your voice is so relaxing. God bless you
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it... :)
Just beautiful! I'm struggling with carrying colors and not having it show through either side, especially when using a dark main color with white. What tip do you recommend on carrying two different yarn colors? I'm crocheting a headband with three white letters. How did you make your graph? Thank you.
Hi! Yes, show-through is often not completely avoidable especially when using a dark color with a light color. You can try to crochet a little tighter or use a flecked yarn to camouflage it a little better. I use stitch fiddle to design my graphs. :)
@@TLBPatterns Thank you for this information.
Very cute!! How do you make the graphgan? Is there a software for that?
Tahta I use Stitch Fiddle to design my graphs ☺️
Hello!!! if I do more colors I have to carry all too? since the beginning ?
Hi! When I use more than 2 colors, I use the Intarsia technique (a different bobbin for each color section). I have a video on that also. It might help to watch that technique because for more than 2 colors at once, I find it to be easier. :)
Also, could this be done the way you did the BEAUTIFUL pillow.. I am doing red and white, red really bleeds through, not sure if you said that or not.. also using a different word. Hugs. More videos please.. you have taught me so much just in 2 videos.. 😘
Yes, I can be done in Intarsia, but the row count would be different since Tapestry is done using double stranded thickness which makes it work up a little quicker. :). Also, yes, using a light and a dark color together can be tricky, which is why I recommend the fleck yarns to camouflage it somewhat. So glad you learned so much!
Hello 😊 I’m getting ready to start my back panel for the letter M I ordered. I’m just curious why the front we chained 70 across and for the back we’re doing a chain of 65 across?
Hi Mindy, in my experience from all the color changing and tension required for the front panel, it creates a slightly more narrow panel at the same amount of stitches. So I use 65 for the back because I need less stitches to achieve the same width. That being said, you can use whatever amount of stitches you need to get to 18". This is just what consistently works for me.
@@TLBPatterns ok thank you! I thought it was probably something like that! 😊
How can one make their own pattern? like If I wanted to make a design I can't find, Is there a program or app people use to create the pattern graph?
Hi! I use Stitch Fiddle to graph my patterns, but I also create custom patterns so if there's something you are interested in, send me an email and we can discuss it. :) twolittlebirdspatterns@gmail.com
About how much not sure if you can say you would charge to create a pattern for a pillow with names?
okay Im in...I cant go out due to quarantine so I hope I can follow along?
i gave up😒 i followed your video u til row 7 where you leave and join later. I couldnt do the color changes property after many tried so gave up.
@@gwenritch you can.. sometimes you just have to take a break when you start to not be excited over it in a good way or get frustrated.. then watch video again and try again . I have tried and tried the fair isle crochet beanie. For my sons football games. With a big heart , his name under that and his number in heart and his team Fh on back. Finally understanding it. After walking away and trying different yarn brands. Seems I needed a thicket one to make it look the way I wanted. You csn do it. I seen you posted this months ago.. I hope you figured it out.. hugs
Nice design, what tool did you use to make the graph?
Thanks! I use Stitch Fiddle :)
Hi 😊 Is there a way to print out the graph pattern on one sheet like you have there?
Hi! I do believe the download is on one page. But if it’s not printing on one page for you, then send me an email and I’ll email it over ☺️
@@TLBPatterns I got it figured out! One more question. If I use a 5.75 hook will it be that big of a difference? I have every size but my 5mm. Go figure. Thank you! 😊
You can definitely use that size hook, but if you come out closer to 13”x13” it might be better to go with the 14”x14” insert instead of the 12”x12”. 😊
Question: left handed crocheter here. So for me would I read it backwards from righthanders?
Ok, so you will be crocheting from left to right, where I crochet from right to left...
As far as following the graph, you will follow it right to left on all odd number rows, and left to right on all even number rows. The only difference is that when you crochet odd number rows, you will be facing the wrong side of your work (where I would be facing the right side) and when you crochet even number rows, you will be facing the right side of your work (where I would be facing the wrong side). Hope this helps! :)
It absolutely does thank you so much for the help. I’ll give it another go. I was wondering why nothing was matching up. 🙌🏻
What size hook did you use
For this pattern I used an H-Hook (5.00mm)
Are you planning to put out more videos?
Unfortunately, no not at this time. Is there a question I can help you with?
Hi - I am unable to access the link to the pattern. Could you please reply to this comment with the link? Thank you.
Hi Barbara, you can get the pattern using this link: mailchi.mp/6a03320bcca8/thehipillow
@@TLBPatterns thank you but the link isn't 'live'....
@@barbaracohen429 Hmmm... Send me an email at twolittlebirdspatterns@gmail.com. I'll reply with the pattern download.
@@TLBPatterns will do. can you send me the link to the circle pillow as well as that link doesn't work for me either
Need this type of alphabets pattern?
MR Sowfiya here’s a link to my Monogram Pillow. It’s designed for one uppercase Monogram letter for each pillow. www.etsy.com/listing/521373659/crochet-monogram-pillow-pattern?ref=ss_listing
This looks terrible the black shows through, it shouldn't . I went to another site where she showed us how to better hide the black yarn.
I'm so glad you were able to find a way that works for you. :)
