Crocheted Pet Bed 🐾🐢
Crochet designer and blogger at The Loopy Lamb, Ashley Parker, tells Bored Panda that she got into crocheting as a way to cope with postpartum depression and anxiety after having her first child.
“I initially began with loom knitting, but I felt limited by the types of projects I could create. That led me to pick up crochet, and I’ve never looked back.”

My Mom Crochets And Donated 40 Blankets To Sick Children This Year
Brian Droste 11 months ago
That was very kind of her. Must took her very many hours and expense for her.
Auntriarch 11 months ago
My boss's mother in law does this, people donate spare wool, and I pick up cheap wool in charity shops so it benefits both ways. But if she buys her own wool, then goodness that's a huge expense. 52 weeks in a year, 40 blankets is a lot of crocheting.

What she enjoys most about this craft, or rather art, is how limitless it is. “Since you can place your crochet hook almost anywhere in a piece, the creative possibilities are endless—it’s amazing how a simple hook and yarn can transform into something extraordinary.”

LukewarmSoymilk 11 months ago
I feel like crocheted dresses tend to be hit or miss. This one here however? This one's a bullseye.
However, as with most things, crocheting also comes with its own unique challenges. For Ashley, the most difficult thing is balancing creative freedom with clarity in pattern writing. “Crochet allows for endless possibilities, but the lack of standardization across patterns can be tough, especially for beginners. I’ve learned how important it is to design with both creativity and accessibility in mind, ensuring my patterns are easy to follow while still being unique.”

Please Someone Tell Me It's Pretty. I'm So Close And Yet So Very Very Far
“I used fur yarn,” she continued, “which made the sloth extra soft and cuddly—and nearly impossible to tell it was crocheted at all! It’s a great example of how basic stitches, like the single crochet, can be transformed into something truly unique when paired with an unexpected yarn choice. Sloths are one of my favorite animals, so he’s extra special to me,” Ashley fondly shared.

Lastly, we couldn’t let Ashley go without asking for some advice for those who might be interested in starting to crochet. “My best advice is to be patient with yourself,” she said.
“No one’s first projects look perfect, and that’s okay! It takes time, practice, and persistence to build your skills. I’d also recommend learning how to read a crochet pattern early on. While video tutorials are fantastic, many patterns don’t include them. Limiting yourself to videos could mean missing out on an incredible range of projects and designs.”

tameson 11 months ago
I don't think she was "likehunting". Here is what she originally wrote on Reddit. "I posted earlier about realizing half way through that I was using too small yarn, which caused me to have to create more stitches around. It resulted in the skirt being way too wide, which causes it to bunch. Aside from the bunching not looking great, it obscures the beautiful pattern I worked so hard on! I showed my mom, who also crochets, and explained what happened. She said the bunching looks really bad and I should cut off the skirt and do it again with fewer stitches around. She was like, you're not going to wear it like that right? Is it that bad? Any suggestions for improving it without redoing the skirt? I cant think of anything honestly."
Maggie Fulton 11 months ago
If “bad” is slang for “damn, that’s incredible,” then yes. You’ve done a fantastic job?
Beth Wheeler 11 months ago
No it's not bad, you just need to line the skirt so it's not see through. LOVE the color/
YakFactory 11 months ago
Just because it doesn't fit her, she doesn't need to criticise. Your dress looks great. Enjoy wearing it.

I love the effect the "bunching" makes. It's like a pleated skirt. It is sad about hiding the pattern though.

Wait a minute. A flatmate picked up a plastic bag that was in your son's garage and arbitrarily threw it out? Who would do such a thing? Fleas or no fleas, it was in a plastic bag, in the garage, and it did not belong to him/her. Beyond a head-shaker. It is gorgeous, by the way.

I've always wanted to learn how to crochet. My mother-in-law crocheted, and I had asked her to teach me but she replied "I can't teach a backwards handed person to crochet." I'm lefthanded, not backwards, and that was back in the 1990's, and the arthritis in my hands now won't let me do a lot of things that I would like to do. ☹️

CAL stands for Crochet-A(Long). It's when a group of people (usually part of the same craft club or community) all do the same project at the same time. It's a fun way to connect with a community and if you're a beginner or nervous, other people will be doing the same thing and you can give each other advice and support. It's harder to tell it's an acronym because of boredpanda's title format making everything lowercase except the first letter of each word

Handicrafts in general are a wonderful hobbie. Working with wool and yarn is particularly satisfying for me personally. As you can see here - you can create practical, useful things or simply things that exist for the sake of existence. It's relaxing in the process. It makes you proud when you learn a new stitch or finish a particularly stubborn project. It's great to see that, especially the 'old people crafts', found their way back and are proudly presented. I can well remember being laughed at for liking all kinds of handicrafts with wool and yarn.
