I Have picked up along the way and Also what Has worked For Me :)
Have Fun & God Bless :)
Hello Everyone☺
I just wanted to share a few things I have picked up along the way on creating your own crochet pattern.
When I'm getting ready to create a new pattern I always look for inspiration, whether it's looking at stuffed Animals & dolls to watching animals on YouTube.☺
Then I try to draw a picture of how I want my creation to look. I also write next to my drawing how big I want each piece to be, just to get a general idea where to start.
Once you pick out the colors of yarn and size of hook it's time to start.
Make sure you have you notebook and pencil nearby to write down each step of your pattern as you go.
Also when you have all your pieces finished take pictures, so you can add them to your pattern.
After you have finished all these steps start copying your pattern on a computer or phone using Microsoft Word or something similar and don't forget to add your pictures.☺
Some programs are able to turn you word document into a pdf but if you are using a phone there are lots of apps that can turn doc to pdf in the play store.☺
I hope this helps you in creating your cute patterns ☺
and if you have any suggestions please feel free to leave them ☺
Have Fun & God Bless
Hello Everyone ☺
Crochet can be a little scary, if you never had any experience. When I started about almost 3 years ago, I admit it was all a little overwhelming.
So here are a few helpful tips that I hope makes it a little easier ☺
Your going to need a crochet hook & yarn. The size of hook and type of yarn are completely up to you☺But
Here are a few suggestions:
Clover Amour crochet hooks 10 pack , they can be a little pricy but we'll worth it. I bought my set at Joanns Fabric store with a 50 % off coupon , so at $74.99 I saved about $37.00 dollars yay☺
here is the link for hooks
Clover Amour crochet hooks 10 pack at Joanns fabrics
Red Heart yarn & Bernat yarn are my favorite brands.
If you already chosen a crochet pattern, whether it's a blanket or Amigurumi ( stuffed Toy) the pattern will tell you what materials you need to create it ( what size hook & type of yarn ).
Also Try to pick a pattern that's simple and has plenty of pictures. Most crochet patterns will have the difficulty listed on whether it's beginner, intermediate, or Advanced.
Lastly the basic stitches used in most crochet patterns are:
Single Crochet
Double Crochet
Magic Ring
Increase ( 2 stitches in one stitch )
Invisible Decrease ( making 2 stitches into 1 stitch )
chain stitch
slip stitch
There are tons of video tutorials on YouTube with help on how to create these stitches or if prefer pictures there are plenty of tutorials online.
I will be coming out with video tutorials on all the stitches at a later time☺
Also just in case you haven't chosen a pattern yet here are a couple of places to find them
Ravelry has lots of Cute crochet patterns for sale and for free☺
&
Etsy has lots of cute crochet patterns for sale ☺
I hope this helps☺
Have Fun & God Bless
Hello Everyone :)
I wanted to share with you a few tips for getting better pictures :)
If you are like me, you have struggled with trying to get the perfect picture without a professional photographer.
Of course we all research online and you can get really Great Advice like:
Take pictures in Natural sunlight
Hire a professional Photographer
Use a Digital camera ect..
But what if you don't have Time to take pictures in natural sunlight, or money for a professional or a Great Camera.
What I would suggest is getting two white poster Boards, lean one against the wall & place the other on the Floor.
I found that White reflect the best light.
Then place your creation right in the middle of the poster boards.
Take your Smart phone and snap the best pictures you can , Try to get lots of Different angles, poses, & positions.
I know even doing this the pictures can still come out a little dark.
But Don't Panic, Here is where the magic starts lol.
I found this app on the Google Play store called
Adobe Photoshop Express.
This App is Amazing, absolutely the best picture Editor I've ever used.
Download PhotoShop Express on your phone & Start Editing.
This app Enhances your pictures making them clear and crisp.
Also there are so many different types of features that truly help brighten up your photos to make them look like they were taken in natural lighting or by a professional.
Here are some Before & After pictures:)
Let's get started ☺
No white poster Boards & No Picture Editor ( Above )

As you can see there is a Big difference. ☺ Better & Brighter Pictures with just a few simple steps. ☺
I Hope you Enjoyed these Tips & I Hope it was Helpful. ☺
Have Fun & God Bless
