Frequently Asked Questions

I use worsted weight (4) acrylic yarn and an F (3.75mm) hook for almost everything. My stash is mostly store brands.

Yes, you can make any of my patterns in blanket yarn! I recommend a J hook and using yarn-under sc’s. See my tutorial here:
Yarn Over vs. Yarn Under, and Blanket Yarn — Crafty Tibbles
You can use any yarn-hook combination you like, they’ll just turn out smaller or larger!

I don't advertise my patterns as beginner-level, and they won't teach you HOW to crochet. However, challenges are how you learn! My newest focus while designing is to make things look impressive, while keeping it technically simple. (The Dragon Head crochet pattern is simpler than you might think!)

I like little critters, computers, video games, fantasy/sci-fi, martial arts, and learning new skills and hobbies. I was a professional tattooer for about 13 years, and retired from it.
I grew up always making things, and loved stuff like Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, Conan the Barbarian, Warcraft, etc. Fantasy remains my biggest inspiration. ⋆˙⟡
