@Alchemists Fire: haha yep! Thats what I was picturing xD I've definitely made those before. And I’ve done that sliding knot too! I prefer just tying them on tho xD

@Lina: yes!!! I’ve made one of those too! Or I started one anyway, I can’t remember if I finished it or not xD I think one of the first things I ever made was an octopus so same concept lol

I totally understand the practical things lol I hurt my arm crocheting too much and now I’m like, I wanna make this but then what do I do with it lol
When I first started I made so many granny squares xD I should put them all together into something one of these days. I actually made a few granny square hats! Its like 4 around and one on top and then 2 rows of single crochet around the brim to finish it off. But I like the hats I make now much better lol they’re quicker and all one piece. I can make one from start to finish in about an hour. It was a pattern from tiktok for a bucket hat. Its a frog hat but I’ve been making them without the eyes lol I can try to find it if you’re interested. At the very least I have the pattern written down lol
Its all double crochet in joined rounds. It takes up a little more than half a normal sized skein.

Also to pop in to your other convo real quick, yes it is crochet that takes more yarn than knitting haha

And thats so cool that you have a coloring book! Its very pretty~

@Alchemists Fire: I feel like I probably know what you’re talking about but would need to see a pic first xD I’ve made several different kinds lol

Oh gotcha, I literally just tie mine one with the ends lol I like to braid the strands together and then tie the braids in a loose knot around my arm. I hold one end in the hand on that arm and then use my free hand to pull it tighter. I’ll show you in call or person sometime ^^

@Alchemists Fire: that’s fair! I’d love to show you someday <3 I don’t really know how to explain the friendship bracelet knots either without showing you lol I guess same with crochet so you can see how I hold it and everything lol

For my friendship bracelets I always just left two ends to tie together lol I couldn’t figure out the fancy loops and stuff xD so I’d hold my string like 4 inches down so I had room to tie and even out the ends and then I’d stretch it down my arm almost to my other shoulder for length. That always gave me enough to work with. But it also depends on the number of strings in the design and like, how many knots are in that color. Because they wont end up even lengths at the bottom if theres a more complex pattern. So sometimes you need some of them to be longer than normal to accommodate.
