AI Crochet Images and Patterns

 The Rise of AI in the Art World What do you think of this image? It's very pretty at first glance, isn't it? Does it make you immediately want to seek out the pattern to make them yourself? You're not alone. I took this image from a random page on Facebook that showed up on my newsfeed. I have no idea who originally made it. It's being shared by pages that appear to be run by bots, as the caption is always the exact same.  So What's the Problem? The problem is these crochet parrots are not real. That is not real crochet. The photo is generated by AI. How can you tell? Firstly, they are too perfect. Creating crochet birds that could sit like that on a perch without falling over would be challenging. The direction of some of the stitches doesn't make sense. If you zoom in, you can see the stitches on the head especially do not look like crochet stitches. The yellow feathers on the left bird's head look like real feathers, which you wouldn't be able to rep

Barry the Bat Pattern Dropping Soon

 Barry the Bat

My first crochet pattern that I've prepared for sale, is this adorable little guy here:



Cute, isn't he? The name came from one of my lovely colleagues. This was a spur of the moment kind of idea, I wanted to make something but didn't know what to make so I just kind of went with it and ended up making this little dude. 


I shared it and got a good response. I loved him. So I made another one from the notes I'd made. After that, I decided the pattern was worth sharing. I typed it up and put out a call for some pattern testers. I got a handful of lovely volunteers and sent the pattern off.

I've had some great feedback from testers, which meant I could perfect the pattern, make sure it was easy to follow and the instructions were clear. It's important to make sure that the pattern works for other people too. I kind of know what I did, but I had to make sure other people could follow along. 

All the tweaks are done and the pattern is ready to share. It includes step by step instructions, hints and tips for making the plushie and also a couple of tutorials for the trickier parts. I'm almost ready to sell the pattern, and it will be available on my website in the next few days. I will update on all my social media platforms when I have set a date. 

I'm excited. I've been knitting and crocheting for a few years now but I've only recently started making my own designs and patterns. So hopefully this one will just be the beginning.

Crochet Basics Part 2 - Introducing New Stitches

  Crochet Basics Part 2 Hi, welcome back. This is part 2 of my crochet basics series introducing crochet and teaching you how to get started. In the first part we went over the basics of beginning a piece of crochet, the slipknot, the chain stitch, double crochet (single crochet in the US) and how to fasten off at the end. Today we're going to cover a couple of new stitches you can use for different textures. The half-treble and treble crochet stitches are fairly easy to work. These stitches are taller than the double crochet. You'll see what I mean.  Half-Treble Crochet (htr) Half-treble is between double and treble crochet in height. It is worked very similarly to a double crochet, the difference is you wrap the yarn around your hook before pushing it into the next stitch, then you pull the yarn through, pulling up another loop. This leaves three loops on your hook instead of two. You wrap the yarn around the hook again and pull it through all three loops together. That's

New Pattern Coming Soon and Plans for the Future

 New Pattern Coming Soon Bertie the Bunny Pattern will be available soon! It's currently being tested by a handful of lovely crocheters so there will be updates soon when I get feedback and photos from them. So if you want to make this little cutie, watch this space.  This is my second ever plushie pattern, and it took a little bit of experimenting to get it right, but I was able to incorporate some of the feedback and lessons learned from the Barry the Bat pattern and apply it to this one. I've designed it so that the ears can be placed in either upright or lop position and it will still look cute.  I've got a few other ideas in mind I'd like to work on so there will be more patterns coming soon. I'm also planning to write up and share my daffodil pattern fairly soon, this one will be available for free, and will come with lots of photos and video guides.
