How to start crochet designing | User guide for beginners

July 7, 2021

This is the first part of my “tips for you on how to start designing”. You may read the second part here, where I dive …

Hi! I’m Tanya.

I am a fiber artist and a crochet designer.

All of my childhood has been a one long DIY journey: knitting, crocheting, drawing, weaving, inventing, wood burning, sewing, you name it!

My heart goes out to all people suffering from the war, from all wars.
The only way we can keep peace on our planet is to eliminate hate.
If there is no room for hate in our hearts, there will be no conflicts.
It is a long way to go but all together we can make it much shorter.
I pray for peaceful sky above our heads, I pray for all wars to end, I pray for people in hot spots to wake up in the morning.
Make love, not war! Spread love, not war! 🤍

I stopped counting how many attempts I took to get back to crochet and Instagram. Well, I guess this is another one.

Come celebrate my birthday with me:
1) subscribe to my account
2) like and save this post
3) a) if you want the first present, tag a friend in the comments below. One friend per comment, unlimited comments.

P.S. you may apply for both.
Will draw a winner on Thursday, February 17th using @lizaonair .
If first comment is drawn for the key chains, then I will draw more people until I get to a comment with a pattern. And backwards.
US continental shipping is on me 🤍

🎃 Hiya, guys, how are you doing?
I'm very happy to announce that "Felix with pumpkin" #world_of_felix has been released and you can find a free version of it on my blog (link in BIO)🎉💃
The pattern contains instructions and charts on how to make the pumpkin.
You may use the pumpkins as appliques or make a garland to decorate your home, attach it to your Thanksgiving tablecloth on the sides and behind the chairs.
Felix could also be used to decorate your desk at work and he will make a good fall housewarming gift even for adults.
If you prefer a PDF file, you may find this pattern on Etsy and Ravelry.
The file is too large for a single Etsy download, so I had to split it into 2 parts😔
On the other hand, Raverly has been great with large files, and it is uploaded over there in a single file.
As usual, the pattern is tech edited by amazing @scorpioshook ❤

Today this trio is going to Relief Share non-profit organization ❤
I wanted to crochet some octopuses to donate to my local hospital. But I was so disappointed to find out that hospitals no longer accept handmade donations due to Covid restrictions.
However, I happened to find the right person at the right time.
This organization has existed for many years and thus is trusted. I was told they accepted all kinds of donations. Yay!💃
Will get to making octopuses sometime soon but meanwhile sending these guys out to find their new home and become friends with their new little owners.
It is so easy to be happy 🥰
P.S. Pattern coming soon in English and Russian.
Описание так же выйдет на Русском языке.

Aaaaand... A baby is born.
I'm very happy to announce the "Incredible Me" poncho is now LIVE on my blog (link in BIO).
The pattern is very simple and customizable. #IncredibleMe_poncho
I've been bearing a thought to create a blog with free patterns for a while. And here I am! 🥳
This was one of the most out of my comfort zone experiences I went through recently.
I'd love to share my knowledge and my creations with many more people. And I believe you will find the information on the blog useful.
The site is currently working in a testing mode.
Please take a look and let me know what you think, if you find it convenient to use and what you would like to change to make your experience better.
Your opinion is very important to me ❤
Happy Monday and have a wonderful week!
Thanks for my testers @boulder.ridge.designs and Rebecca.
And as always the pattern has been tech edited by amazing @scorpioshook.

This was supposed to be a very happy post but... life happened...
I knew some people were looking forward for the "Incredible Me" poncho pattern. And I imagined myself recently telling you it was LIVE.
Even though it is ready and I desire to share it with you, I can't due to some technical issues.
I believe everything happens for a reason and always for good and very much hope all issues will be resolved as soon as possible.
Meanwhile take a look at a custom order❤

***PATTERN TESTERS NEEDED***
It is finally here! Let me introduce this "Incredible Me" poncho to you. I'm in love with it. The moment I saw this yarn, I knew what I was going to make.
This pattern is adjustable. You may choose to crochet the same size as mine or customize it to your own needs. Isn't it great?
If you are interested, please comment below.
• If you have a daughter or a niece and you would like to adjust the pattern to make matching ponchos, that would be awesome.
• If you make a bigger size, you will need 3 skeins of yarn mentioned below.
Will choose people on Saturday and will notify via DM. You will have 3 weeks to finish. Deadline is July 29th. If you are able to finish earlier, that will be great.
You should be able to provide a feedback and picture of finished poncho.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- Caron "Latte Cakes", #5, Bulky weight, (58% Acrylic, 42% Nylon; 530 yds/485 m per 8.8 oz/250 g)
* I used approximately 1003 yds/917 m (16.7 oz/473 g)
- 6.5 mm/K-10.5 and 7.5 mm (for a foundation chain) hooks or the one which matches your yarn
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Stitch marker
P.S. The colorway I used is Shocking gray. Feel free to use any other color.

The moment you realize almost all body images out there are copyrighted and you don't want to take a chance.
Surprised it came out pretty nice since I am very bad at drawing. Guess if you really need something, you would be able to get it, just need to work a bit harder ❤.
Have a great week guys.
P.S. Something is brewing up here 👀

Despite my love for natural fibers I decided to go with @yarnspirations "Caron latte cake".
Love the way it looks so far, works up pretty fast and doesn't look cheap.
Any guess what it would be?
Have you made anything with this yarn? How do you like it? Does it still look cute after several washes?

Discovered a last skein of cord @hello_bobbiny. Why not to make my favorite shell?
The last time these baskets were sold out pretty fast.
Shop this beauty on Etsy (link in BIO). Only one left.
Not sure if I will be making more of these any time soon.
Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend 🐚
