💥How much yarn for your project: ua-cam.com/video/ZM9oEkDI7Ho/v-deo.html
I recommend using the below hook sizes depending on yarn used:
3 DK yarn : 3.5mm to 4.5mm
Size 4 Medium/worsted weight: 4.5mm to 5.5mm.
Mixing 3 & 4 weight: 3.5mm to 4.5mm
SIZE 1 Lace Weight - 2.75mm to 3mm hook used on slouchy hat
HOW MUCH YARN FOR YOUR PROJECT: The best way to figure out how much yarn you need is to create a one repeat swatch and then measure how much yarn you used of EACH color. This video walks you through the math: ua-cam.com/video/ZM9oEkDI7Ho/v-deo.html
Note on mixing yarn sizes 3 (DK) & Size 4 (Medium Worsted weight): THE TRICK TO MIXING YARN SIZES IS JUST KEEPING YOUR TENSION EVEN AND USING THE SMALLEST SIZE HOOK RECOMMENDED FOR THE SMALLER YARN! You can use any yarn size you like and can use yarn that is all the same size, you do not have to mix yarn sizes.
PROJECT IDEAS
This design is best suited for Top down constructed projects. You can create any project you like from Mosaic Crochet.
Working flat or in the round, you can make, Zipper Down Purses, Notions Pouch, Make-up Bag, Laptop bag, Sweaters, Kimonos, Scarves & Shawls can be made using the upright and upside down versions of the design so that you can switch direction mid Scarf/Shawl to allow the direction of the cactus to be in the correct direction when the item is worn around the neck/body.
Project info and starting:
To begin your project you will chain in multiples of 16 plus 4 at the end to work a flat piece. You will skip the first chain and begin working in the second chain from the hook, ending up with an odd number of stitches. EXAMPLE: I chained 36 and had 35 stitches at the end of my first Foundation Row.
TO WORK IN THE ROUND: chain in multiples of 16 and slip stitch to the first chain. begin working the repeat in the first stitch [same stitch you slip stitches into) and follow the Repeat as given in the video.

    As you said, your methods are familiar. But Courtney, your unique style is delightful and inspiring. I did one of your designs as a blanket, then you showed me how to use Excel to design my own and ditch the graph paper. I like to fit a mosaic into almost anything, but market bags and beanies get used a lot and noticed a lot! Here in the 'Mitten' state a beanie with a band of mosaic around the ears keeps out the winter winds, and it looks very fascinating as well. So, as I was watching you present your work, ideas kept popping into my head, and then you'd add that as an option ~ hilarious! I hope you have enough people to need your tutorials, because I enjoy playing them while I work on current projects! I love your start on the Halloween jester top! Hahahaha! Great job - what a task. Whew!

    How refreshing to hear your laughter again! The lampshade was so ambitious and I'm glad you figured it out because it's wonderful! I love the burp cloth idea, but they appear to be about the size of a tea towel (I don't need burp cloths, but maybe when I ger really, really old?). I love your pillows - working in the round is my favorite way to go to avoid tails. The apron is too pretty to get messy - I'd hang it on the wall as a piece of art ;-P

    • @FiberFoxStudios
      @FiberFoxStudios День тому

      Thank you!!!! Only thing I would change on the lampshade is the glue to make it stiff. My friend told me her grandma used to make crochet bowls and she used liquid starch to form and hold the shape. Definitely going to try that on the next one. 😁😁😁 I do see adult burp cloths in my future at some point or maybe a bib 🤣🤣I tend to dribble drink on myself now, I cant see this improving with age 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I love the blanket! I need that zipper. You should leave the A/C on so that you can be comfortable and let leave whoever is so picky that they can't tolerate hearing a slight hum of an A/C unit in the background.

I did grow up in a house full of kids though so I'm used to noise 🤣🤣🤣 I'm definitely going to have no choice other than to run it this summer because it's just too hot this year.

    I always watch all the way to the end, and I never fast forward. I love your laugh. It is contagious, though, so I do have to be careful since my stomach hurts when I laugh. I still love to hear it though. I have to agree that the court jester was my first thought, too, once you put it on, but I think it's more the triangles around the top of the neck giving that appearance. I think it would be better if you could think of something that naturally increases in shape as it goes down. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that wouldn't be upside down when working top-down, though, like the butterflies and the hearts. You would need something that has the shape decreasing from bottom to top like a pear since you're, in essence working it upside down from a top-down perspective. Obviously, that's why your first impulse was the triangles. Maybe if you could do an upside down (to you) fleur-de-lis pattern ⚜which would grow naturally if you start from the top tip and increase out as you increase the yoke around the neckline? I don't know, they might still look court jester-ish. I love the idea of a top down mosaic sweater, though. I love the cardigans, but I think I like the one best where you didn't do the sleeve portion in mosaic but just the bottom half. That gives you more freedom to decrease on the sleeves if you want them more fitted or to even go all the way to the wrist without being baggy. I just find that my open/loose crochet sleeves tend to snag on everything from door knobs to drawer pulls to dishwasher racks, LOL :) So having the option to keep those snug at my wrists is a must, especially for winter cardigans which I'm more likely to make in mosaic. Hugs & blessings! Love you💜💜💜

Cactus is done, butterfly is next then I'll do the hearts. That's going to help me to be able to use them on the redesign of the court jester sweater 🤣 I'm glad you sew it too!! I definitely think the triangles are where I started to go wrong🤣🤣🤣 sent me in a direction that I wasn't trying to go 🤣 I've got a walk through "tutorial" uploading for the sleeve construction that will hopefully help the more advanced folks get started. I'll be doing a full tutorial for the back panel construction it's just going to take quite a while to film the entire thing. I'll get some more of the upside down patterns filmed so I have something to release while I work on the sweater stuff. The upside down patterns are great to use with top down zipper pouches etc too. Hope you have a wonderful day and hope to see ya in the comments again soon 😘😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰🥰

    This looks like a great technique, are the knots when binding off visible?

    • @FiberFoxStudios
      @FiberFoxStudios 4 дні тому

      If you stagger them they are hard to find. A crocheter could find them im sure but I feel they mask well. We have am eye like no other because we know the technique. But an average person won't notice.

  • @valeriehowden471
    @valeriehowden471 4 дні тому

    Great technique. I often weave in ends and place a knot after the first weave so the yarn doesn't slip out backwards. This would be just as effective but alot quicker!

    • @FiberFoxStudios
      @FiberFoxStudios 4 дні тому

      Yes!!! That's why I started doing it this way. I was wasting time and yarn leaving long tails to sew in a bind off. So much faster in my opinion. 😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰💙💙💙

      Thank you!!! Once you catch the Mosaic bug, it's a hard one to shake 😁😁🤣🤣 definitely look around at other designers like Sixel Designs or Tinna. Both have some great tutorials that i think you'll love. I think the right design that really grabs you can be just the thing to put you in the "I have to try this!!" mindset. 💙💙 I have an updated version of this tutorial where I talk WAY less, so I highly recommend that one IF you decide yo give a swatch a try.

    On the sweater that has the 2 colors mosaic at the bottom.How did you get the solid color at the top?Is that just double Crochet's

    • @FiberFoxStudios
      @FiberFoxStudios 7 днів тому

      I started at the top in the doling color doing HDC's, then once my top was done I added in the second color to work the Mosaic. You start at the back on that sweater so you can begin in solid or you can do it in Mosaic like the blue one. I'm not sure if I'm actually being helpful with this answer but I'm trying to be. Please let me know if I completely misunderstood the question. Really sorry if I did.

    I would love a full tutorial on ANY of your patterns. I find it confusing trying to put together different mosaic patterns to make a whole project. I really need to be shown each step unfortunately. How many views total do you have for the shawl videos you posted about 2 years ago? They may not have had a lot immediately after posting but I bet over time they have accumulated a lot more… as mosaic crochet gains in popularity and people discover you. It may be time to revisit the idea of full tutorials. See what happens now. I, for one, hope you do!

    • @FiberFoxStudios
      @FiberFoxStudios 7 днів тому

      I really appreciate your kind words and I fully understand where you are coming from needing to be walked through the full project. I revisted the farahan series at its 2yr birthday and went back over all numbers. The videos took 120 hours to film. During that time my channel tanked, and even with these videos going out rapidly my numbers stayed down. The revenue on the last video you commented on from Farahan for its entire lifetime of being out here on UA-cam is $44.03 as if today. In 2 years all 4 videos grand total in revenue was 262.78, for all 4, fir 2 full years. That's better than the year prior CAL, but this one took me 4 months to design, perfect, write and test. Pattern sales did not help much, they have remained slow since gas prices rose in April of 2022 just prior to the release. There were a number of people who fast forwarded through and I know this because they missed rows and came at me about how I had messed up, and I was missing rows blah thru blah. The first few times this happened I really thought I had messed up on these different areas. Sent me into a total panic and i spent hours watching all the rows they said were missing 🤣🤣🤣 I definitely don't think everyone does that but it happens on all my longer videos. I do everything knowing I'm not really going to make money at it but I want to share and have fun with yall. I want to make all the people who truly do watch and also care about me as a person happy which is why I decides to show the sweaters and see which one yall would like to make. I think sometimes that I should do memberships but then I feel bad because I do not want to leave anyone out. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place🤣 from a business standpoint, I do this allllllll wrong 🤣🤣🤣

      @@FiberFoxStudios that’s not enough $ for the amount of work, I agree. So either you have to decide to do it as a non-paying hobby, or you have to tweak your system somehow. I hope you don’t stop though. Bag-O-Day took about 10 years to gain the audience she has … so it can definitely take a while. I think if you made more step-by-step tutorials, eventually “they will come”. You’re so good at making tutorials. Your lighting and focus is on point. One can see each stitch. I had zero questions throughout the Farahan Shawl videos. Please keep going.

    This is a fantastic pattern and you teach it so well. I had no issues whatsoever following along with you. I hope you record another full project one day. I know it’s a HUGE amount of work for you… but I don’t really know how to put together the smaller patterns to make something bigger. I get easily confused trying to figure out how to put together patterns with various multiples. I also think you’d get a lot of views for videos like this one, where you record a whole project. All of us who need the handholding would watch each video several times while we’re making the project. Anyway, I thank you many times over for recording this project. I’m about to finish my 2nd shawl.

Please continue to do all this for the crochet community...we appreciate you! I've tried to crochet tops but never completed them...the sleeves don't fit right ...granny arms...or the football linebacker....lack of shaping... look isn't for me.

    I prefer inset sleeves. I just don't think those knit/crochet seamless garments look good on women - particularly from the back. They make women look like football players. Not good - in my opinion. If you would be so kind, please make a full complete tutorial from a - z. Assume one knows nothing. If you could make a tutorial with inset sleeves technique, that would be great! Thank you. Your creations are wonderful.

    • @FiberFoxStudios
      @FiberFoxStudios 11 днів тому

      You bring up some very valid points. You look WIDE isn't the sort of thing every gal wants to hear for sure 🤣🤣 BUT I think it's also very important to consider the yarn used. A lot of people use size 4 and a 5mm hook for most projects. The second sweater I showed is in size 1/2 with a 2.75mm hook, and it doesn't create the line backer look. It lays properly in the back. Sweater 1, because I used size 4 and to me it was on the bigger side for a 4, I will NEVER wear it in public EVER. I made it for around the house knowing the outcome was going to be unflattering on me. The next one i make will be in smaller yarn for sure 🤣🤣 THANK YOU so much for your comment and suggestions. I appreciate the feedback and suggestion for another construction methad to think about and explore. 💙💙💙😘😘
