Before Sending Us An Email

If you are inquiring about a pattern that is not one of Mikey’s or Jeanne’s original patterns, you need to contact the source where you got the pattern for help.

  1. Yarnspirations Customer Service
  2. Lion Brand Support Center

If your pattern is from other sites like Ravelry, Etsy or other places where the designer is uploading their own patterns, please contact them directly about their designs as they know their designs better than anyone.


We Do Not Offer Pattern Searching

Effective August 20th, 2014, we no longer offer pattern searching. We have a well-established crochet community on our Facebook Page for community members to potentially help you. Jeanne and I are the only ones that answer the Inquiry Desk, and we are overwhelmed with emails and cannot keep up.

A second option is to use our Facebook Page to inquire, as crocheters who use our Facebook Page may have a source or advice to offer.

    Hi Mikey. I have a question on how to find the multiple of a pattern that has this written for the multiples “Row repeat of 14 + 5 rows”. What does that mean? How do I find the multiples? I love your site because it is very helpful and you have a great way of explaining patterns. You do a great way of breaking it down when the written pattern makes no sense right away. Keep it up.

      I don’t understand what that multiple is Repeat 14 + 5 rows. I have never seen that before. I really have no idea. Maybe you can contact the designer to inquire. It seems like it’s non-standard lingo.

    I love your tutorial on granny rectangular blankets. However, it contains instructions only for a certain number of sizes. I want to make a size not listed: 6ftx3ft. Can someone advise how to do that?
    More generally, is the a “formula” that you can plug your dimensions into, so you can compute how to do sizes not in the list of standard bed sizes?
    Thank you!

      That’s a great question. I don’t have a formula but sure wish I had. I tried doing this once and people don’t honour the stitching gauge and so what I promise isn’t achieved as people tend to get different sizes by not using the same hook or suggested level of yarn. I have since deleted what I had.

    Could I link 2 of your YouTube videos to a pattern I’m creating? One for a foundation DC and one for a crab stitch. I figured I would mention something along the lines of “videos courtesy of the Crochet Crowd” or something similar. I just thought it would be helpful to link a video of the lesser known stitches and I find your videos REALLY helpful.

    Mikey, could you answer a question regarding foundation chains. When the pattern calls for a regular chain and you want to convert to a foundation chain how do you calculate the number of chains you need. For instance if your pattern calls for 82 chains, dc in 4th chain (skipped 3 chains count as 1st dc). How many chains should my foundation chain have. If you would rather tell me where to look that too would be good. I have tried several ways to find this info, but to no avail. Thanks, Zandra

      I’m really not sure of the answer to be honest with you. I rarely, and I mean rarely ever use a foundation chain. I don’t have any first hand experience. What I could recommend to you though. Chain 10, dc 4th ch and then dc in each chain left and count. You will have the stitch number from that. Therefore, you can know when you do the 82 chains, how many chains the first ch 3 is absorbing to subtract it. That’s what I would do.

      I think I am at fault Annette. I assumed people would know how to do that and didn’t film that part. I know… I shouldn’t have assumed it in retrospect. I have a giraffe where I have done the attaching of the pieces and it’s done the same way. I pin the pieces onto the main body and then whip stitch around the component to attach it. I’m sorry. I have failed you today to provide that extra attention you deserved.

    Help please! I’m working on a queen sized Captain America shield afghan for my son. I worked the shield from the center out into a 456 stitch circle. Now I want to finish as a square but I can’t figure out a pattern sequence to know how many of each size stitch to do??? I have marked off every 114th stitch…then also at every 57th stitch…but that is as far as I’ve been able to get. I have searched and searched but can not find any online help! I’ve reached out to 4 different Facebook groups and they all ask to see the pattern…but there isn’t a pattern. CKimban you help me please?!?!? I’ve promised him this blanket for 2 years and I want to finish it for Christmas…

      I have a blanket that I cannot show you at this time when the interior is a large circle. It’s not as big as yours but it’s about 300 stitches in the circle. For me, it took me 5 rounds to transition to a square. Yours probably will take between 7 – 9 rounds depending on you.

      You cannot rush the growth of the circle to a square. The trebles that will start should just be a few, then the next down dc can be about twice as long and I usually make the next hdc the same count as hdc. The sc will span the distance and you will mirror the other side. The trick is to determine the number of SC you need.

      As you grow bigger, the SC span will get larger and you will start to decrease the DC and HDC as it appears to be getting more square.

      For me, it took me about 5 hours to get to a complete square. I ripped out, re=jigged math and etc. So I am telling you that you need patience.

      I will help you do math stand by.

      You have 456 in the circle / 4 = 114 sts. BUT you have to subtract 1 corner from each side. 114 – 1 sts for a corner. = 113 sts between each corner stitch.

      From here… what I would do if I were you. Start with the corner with Ch 4, 1 tr, ch 2, 2 tr in same beg corner. Next 4 do a tr, next 7 do dc, next 7 do hdc…

      To figure out the SC before mirroring this before hitting next corner. Don’t count the corners. 4 tr + 7 dc + 7 hdc and then add the other side. 4 tr, 7 dc, and 7 hdc = 36 sts.

      Now subtract 113 sts – 36 sts = 77 sc.

      So first round would be corners, 4 tr, 7 dc, 7 hdc, 77 sc, 7 hdc, 7 dc, 4 tr then corner of 2 tr, ch 2, 2 tr in next st.

      Keep a count of your stitches per side so you can keep adjusting the stitches. I would do a couple rounds of what I suggested below and then re-examine if you have to change the your tr, dc and hdc counts. Eventually the sc stitches will get bigger in number as you will reduce out tr, dc and hdc.

      Unfortunately, I have to do it myself and run a test of test trials to get it right. You will need to be patient but make a judgement call early on in the first side of each round to check if it looks right. If so, keep on going.

      Keep notes so you can test try yourself and remember what to do for each side in each round.

      Best wishes.

    I just want to voice my opinion of the new header on the website. While it looks nice at first glance it is annoying to have the “white cloud” obscuring the view of the page as you scroll. (I tried to insert a photo but my iPad won’t let me. )

      It’s usually 7 balls for a decent size sofa blanket in granny square concept. If you are doing more solid stitching, it could be 7 – 9. It depends on your tension and the pattern choice. It’s not an exact science so an accurate measurement cannot be given as there are too many variables and our hands control the tension which is unique to everyone.

    I had a comment on here and Marina King replied, but her link didn’t really help me. Which I replied to her. Now my suggestion isn’t showing. How do I attach the zig-zag pattern section of the woven pattern mosaic crochet blanket from this spring, to the blocks section. I had to cut off the zig-zag and stacked blocks at the beginning of the blanket to make a new chain, and then ended up having problems. I cut off the zig-zag section from the offset squares by threading a length of yarn through the stitches in the row above where I needed to cut. I don’t know how to fix that row, as the length of yarn is the only thing holding it together. Do you have a video for crocheting a section to another section above it using sc, but not granny squares.

      lay one side you want to join, out flat right side facing you, then lay the piece you are adding on top right facing down (towards the piece you are adding it to) starting at one end using a needle and thread you work the outside loop (the loop away from you on the bottom piece, and the closest loop facing you on the top piece) of both sides onto the thread continues to the end.

        I’ll give it a try. I still don’t know how to secure the stitches above where I cut off the section and only have a length of yarn running through them to keep them from coming apart while I cut below. Any suggestions? There are tutorials that I don’t understand. Wish Mikey had one for this.

      2. Marina King says:
        July 21, 2020 at 3:58 pm

        if you want to join through that side, work the needle of the bottom of the stitch where you have the yarn running through it and join it to the finished edge of the other piece. as long as you are able to get all of the bottom stitches where you cut, you should be fine. even if you want to work around the yarn you already worked in there to hold the stitch for added security. its a bit of a pain and may take you a little longer than a normal join, but it is doable, I have done it.

      Some of the articles have links to left handed tutorials that have been removed due to complaints.

    Hi I was watching a video (the toy box baby blanket) that Mikey was talking about tension. Have you thought about trying to
    **WRAP yarn around your pinky under your ring finger and bird finger and over your index finger. **Just a thought.
    My grandmother taught me to crochet and this is how I was taught.

I haven’t been able to find a pattern on the loom to be able to make these for her. I would LOVE if you had any suggestions or help!!

I am 62 so I want to keep my mind as active as possible and the crochet crowd does that. I also enjoy the other folks on here as well, I have seen so many beautiful projects and get excited about learning new stitches. I just want to thank you for all your hard work it is greatly appreciated. Have a great weekend and I’ll be looking forward to hooking with you real soon. P.S. I have friends that ask me about stitches that I have learned from watching you so I tell them go to The Crochet Crowd they have lots of info on stitches and tutorials. I AM A VERY HAPPY HOOKER!

    Mikey,
    My 12 year old daughter has started crocheting this year. Since she has some learning and intellectual disabilities she is a bit slow going but certainly loves the craft. She has learned loads by watching youtube videos. She often asks for your videos when we sit down and marathon watch crochet videos. She recently bought a knook set and is trying to learn. We’ve watched a few videos but she really prefers yours. We were wondering if you have made a knook video or if you will make some in the future. Thanks for your time and all of your wonderful videos.

I have often taken doily patterns and made them into rugs or blankets or shawls. My hands do not let me use crochet thread any longer so I make the things i enjoy with yarn. Thank You!

I also like doing just two or three colors, and have even been caught using only one color (as in my Jesus pattern).

    PLEASE HELLLLPPP! Novice here. I have completed all my motifs for the Peppermint Throw ~ but I don’t understand how to attach them. The tutorial shows how to attach a small motif to a large one but it doesn’t talk about how to attach the big pinwheels. Since there are ‘attaching holes’ in all the large ones, I’m assuming that they are attached by those. How? If the whip stitch is used for these, as well, why are there holes in their corners? I have just finished the Dusty Snowflake tutorial ~ and that one made sense to me since you join them through the holes. I’m completely lost but I know it can’t be difficult because no one else seemed to have problems. And ~ I can’t figure out patterns. All the crocheting I do is thanks to Mikey’s wonderful tutorials. Please help. Thank you.

    I’m making this for my grandbaby for Christmas ~ he loves red. I am desperate to know how to finish it. Thanks.

Either Mikey Cathy or any of you other Hookers have any idea. I’ve followed the diagram shared by Mikey and wanted to know how many more of each motif would I need to add?

I have been living with nerve pain for approx. 15 years so I know a lot about that subject! Please don’t try to teat this yourself due to if it is nerve pain you could do more harm than good. I know from experience. I hope you feel better soon. If you would like to chat about it, you can contact me anytime day or night. You know my email and I am on Facebook. I’m sure you have plenty other friends to talk to I just want to let you know that I am here if you need me. Take care and God bless.
