This scratches that impossible itch in my brain like I need to make every sewing pattern a crochet pattern 🤗
I have been resisting the urge to try this for ages! Felt so good to give it a go :)
@ComplicatedKnots I never knew if it could be done was too much of a scaredy cat to give it a go but I have a collection of sewing patterns to turn into crochet and knitted ones now! I'm super excited to try out a vintage Winnie-the-Pooh one I have 😄
Man am I glad I wasn't the only one thinking that every time I've ever looked at a SewDesuNe pattern
It's specifically her patterns that caused this!
The part about plushie making is my dislike of sewing, I can't imagine giving myself MORE sewing to do! That being said, this is a GOREGEOUS piece, it came out really good. Thank you for bearing the burden of this task so the rest of us don't have to o7
I mean, technically we could crochet around the outside of the pieces to join them together, I was just taking a shortcut by sewing :)
@@ComplicatedKnots True, depending on how you want to play the sewing-to-crochet game. I was imagining you just make your "fabric" out of crochet.
That being said, bless you, take all the shortcuts you need you were already a plucked chicken by the time you got to the sewing part!
From the title, I thought this was going to be about clothes. I really love that you are trying this out. I hope you try it with clothes, too! (I’ll be watching for it)
I thought so too! I’ve often thought about crocheting a top from a sewing pattern to see if it would translate well.
Maybe this video will push me to try it
Such a good idea. So many crochet clothes patterns are dull beyond the telling. Definitely worth a try. I have some yarn I have been struggling to find a pattern for that this might be the answer…..
That’s what I thought too. Though I am glad she chose a plushie as those are often more difficult imo (depending on what you’re sewing specifically). I may have to use this technique to make my own clothes though as it seems a lot more accessible to me than just cutting and sewing fabric ironically
good news! she did
"If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands." "OH no" hahaha It's midnight and I am delighted in this.
I think he's super cute!
The vibes of assigning one material texture to another material shape are super Yoshi's Wooly World/Little Big Planet! Sewing seams like this on crochet feel innately wonky, charming, toylike: playfully illogical. I adore it.
Always such a relief hearing far more experienced crocheters saying it's hard to tell the right and wrong sides apart! I swear, sometimes it feels like some sort of conspiracy or prank when a pattern refers to the right and wrong sides, especially when there are pictures of what, to my eyes, look absolutely identical! Thankfully, i figure if I can't tell as a crocheter, the average person probably can't tell, either, lol!
This turned out SO stinkin' cute, and I do hope you try with a wearable, because this is such a fun idea and so interesting to see how things translate!
"Witchcraft accomplished" 😆 The result is amazing ❤
I'm totally with you on rather untangling my yarn fifteen times than trying to get my yarn into my needle more than once!
"You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should"
It's SO CUTE. I think Peaches will enjoy their new toy.
"Oh, nevermind, I fell in love with it."
Yep
My brain turned this into "Can you crochet a knitting pattern" and would not let me read it otherwise and i was so confused why there was a sewing machine in the thumbnail
It's giving "substitute doll" and I love it
This looks like the crochet toy patterns in the book my grandma gave me from the 1970’s. I am so grateful for the strides made in amigurumi design 😂
I did not know there was such a designer out there. I did not know I needed to sew roughly 2/3 of their free pattern library. I'm a very beginner sewist.
But having seen you try to crochet it I think I'll learn to sew.
Thank you for testing the witch-fiber-craft for us !
Such a great idea, and the results is really impressive. The stitches of seam adds character plus their real seam stitches. It’s like a new style of crochet. What sorcery is this?! It’s super cool, would be interested in future videos like this too. 😊❤
Oh, man, I've been a cholyknight fan for ages. I can't wait to see what this looks like when it's done.
Oh I love this. I have actually sewn up this t-rex by Choly Knight a few times and the teeth trip me up each time🤭. I would never have thought about creating it out of crochet, he came out so cute.
The slightly unhinged: “NINE HOURS LATER.” Represents me on every project.
That actually turned out really well! I'd be curious to see how a garment pattern would turn out.
This was a lot of fun!
I'd love to see a wearable, I've thought about trying it myself a few times. I don't think it'll be dissimilar to sewing with a chunky knit fabric but will probably work best with a simple, looser, pattern without much shaping or it'll get bulky at the seams/darts etc. Larger pieces are always easier to sew together so I'm sure it'll be easier than the tiny adorable T-rex.
I love the dinosaur! I implement a similar technique with knitting. I wonder if you could tape the paper pattern together and then work this same method over the 3D shape?
As someone who is a plushie maker and makes lots of choly knights patterns, you did an excellent job.
That is so cute. Yes you can crochet a sewing pattern! I still think amigurumi is easier. I would love to see wearables from sewing patterns.
OMG! SUPER ADORABLE!!!!
Only thoughts I had while you where working thru this is as follows:
1. You should follow nap lines to determine the direction of your stitches. If you look at the arms vs head the stitches will be different (like I think I also.saw on the body) as you followed two different directions.
2. Yes.... you should include the seam allowance to allow for a smoother join.
Otherwise FANTASTIC JOB!
I've been thinking of doing this for a few years with wearables! I'm so excited to see I'm not alone 😂
I love this idea!!
It was strangely both more AND less fun than I make it look XD
this is so cool, i’d buy a pattern like this if someone wrote it
I LOVE THIS! Also, I wonder if you went around the outside edge in single crochet before assembly if that would neaten it off? And yes now I have a very strong urge to make this out of felt. I also wonder have you looked at knit amigurumi patterns? They are often flat and have lots of sewing witchcraft involved and I think it would be interesting to see one of those in crochet. Again I absolutely love how this came out- especially the contrast yarn you used to stitch up with.
I’ve always had this thought too but never been brave enough to try it (which is silly because craft is about creating and experimenting)
I’d really be keen to see how crocheting a clothing sewing pattern would turn out!
Love this video because you actually took the risk and made the jump
you can sew your crocheted pieces on your sewingmachine wrongsideout jfyi than turn it rightside and close the hole. much faster 😊
THIS IS WHAT IVE NEEDED
Love the wearable idea 🤗🩷
He turned out super adorable 🥰🥰🥰
He's adorable 😍 but I might just sew him from fabric because it's so much faster 😂
No idea how you come up with these ideas, but you pulled it off again!!! Truly incredible, Kylie!!! Inspired. What a terrific episode of “Witchcraft accomplished”!!! Love! ☺️🥰🧶🦖
That looks so good! The finished product is adorable!!
I really love the stitch work quality of it-- it makes something so unique. I think I'd want to lean into it, and make the stitches bright and obvious. It's just a delightful handmade vibe.
THAT LITTLE FELLOW LOOKS ADORABLE! Great job, sorry it plucked all your feathers out!
My feathers have recovered, so all good XD
I'm obsessed with this little guy! ☺️ I really like the look of how he came out - i may have to try something like this!
I’ve been meaning to test that theory for years now! Thank you for showing us that it is indeed possible !! I am now going to make all of Choly Knight’s patters 😆
In german there is a saying about the longer thread debate that always made me seeth with rage whenever i was told it growing up and learning to craft/sew in schools or at home
"Langes fädchen, faules mädchen" ugh just typing it! It means "long thread (cute form), lazy girl"
It just played in my head over and over. Its so ingrained. And yet. I never stopped using a long pieve of yarn or whatever because you cant make me
haha wrote this too xD *german high five*
Ooh I can relate. In Finnish it’s called “laiskanlanka”, translates to “lazy one’s thread”.
Wow the timing of this video is incredible, my friend just bought a sewing machine and I've been teaching him how to use it with the cholyknight patterns, but as a chronic yarn addict and crocheter I have been wondering how these sewing patterns would look in crochet form! You have answered my curiosity perfectly! What an adorable little guy
This whole process looked so torturous but the end result was adorable and now I kind of want to do it. 😂
He’s so cute!!! I love him!!! Also I love the idea of him being Peaches little toy dino 😊
This turned out super cute! As someone who sews I've often wondered the opposite: If you could sew a crochet pattern. With that I've concluded that the only way to do it is to use a photo of the finished pieces as reference to design sewn pieces based off of.
It would be cool to see a sequel like that: Where you try to make something like this again but recreating the shapes with your normal crochet techniques.
I have also made that T Rex pattern before and it's definitely not an easy one. You were very brave for attempting it!
I’ve been wondering if you could crochet a sewing pattern for so long I’m SO invested!
Is it possible to join the panels together using crochet instead of whip stitches? Also, if you want an invisible seam, mattress stitches :D
I cut it for time, but I did consider slst to join, but decided that the stitch counts around the edges were too unpredictable. Also it was basically midnight XD
this is so funny to me bc i cant do amigurumi so this technique is exactly how i make my plushies xD to play into the blockyness of the single pieces i really like doing minecraft things
Same! At least that's how I started, I figured out how to do things in the round/ magic circle style recently but I use this technique 75% of the time anyway😅
I love love love how you think outside of the box, it's so inspiring, thank you
NO WAY! I tried to crochet that same exact t-rex from the sewing pattern. Great minds think alike I suppose! I learned to sew before I learned to crochet and I've been a fan of choly knight's work for a while!
Unfortunately, I was not able to figure out how to crochet this sewing pattern, but you did amazing.
I did end up making a t-rex tho... I used her finished plush as a general reference and struggled my way through coming up with my own crochet pattern. But uhhh... I didn't write it down 😂.
I never would have thought of this. The dino came out great!
Omg that worked out so good. So cute!
Yes!!!! I've been wondering if someone could do this and this is perfect!!! thank you so much!!! beautiful work ^_^
That turned out way too cute!
I wonder this every time I see sewing patterns at the thrift store; but no crochet books or magazines. I'm really hoping you'll do this with a wearable pattern! Maybe start with something small; like a baby t- shirt?
I will also die on the same hill, so at least we won’t be alone lol
Who has the patience to thread the needle twice 🤣
It's such a nice hill, glad to have company!
I love his teeth! It reminds me of a kid with an overbite who hasn’t got their braches yet. I was also wondering if you could “fake” those sharp lines with BLO or something. To kind of make “croched-fake-sowing-pattern”-creature.
instead of sl-st, you can force your hands to do opposite hand crocheting like knitting, but on a flat plane, so it's like a right handed patern faces to the right, left faces to the left. so reapeat between the two and you got crochet version of a purl when doing this! let me know if you'd like me to explain better!
Doing a sewn piece you could probably get away with doing the mosaic crochet method of cutting the yarn at the end of each row and obv using the same colour next row instead of the next. Yeah you'd have a ton of ends but you could easily sow and tuck them in so you'd not have to deal with them.
Just food for thought
Choly Knight pattern and crochet!! Amazing! I've made loads of plush from her patterns and they're all super cute
I'm definetly NOT running to Choly Knight's website and grabbing a sewing pattern and a crochet hook **dashes out of the room**
Yes i made a sweater that way
Just finished a huuuge cloak (inspired by „the strain - the master) my mom was like b4 i even ordered yarn „ dont u think sewing it using fabric wont be easier?“ well maybe..but i cant sew except by hand..no machine…so ive crochet it and it turned out so good xD used 53 skeins of 50g sports weight yarn …which is close enough that ive tackled something similar
I haven't even fully started this video, and I'll just say that it IS possible to take yarn and craft it into the shape of pattern pieces - I've done it with Knit and essentially copying over a sketch of a plushie, and that turned out...relatively well (probably would have been better if I'd drawn the entire front view of the creature at the same time, as it is the head doesn't quite look proportionate).
(Finished video) Yup, about how I thought it'd go. It IS a good idea to know where you're going, and if you're still a little less than confident that you know what you're doing with a 3D yarn-shaping direction (like, I'm always somewhat nervous whenever I'm trying to knit or crochet a shape that's 3D from the get-go), you might want to just start from drawing your shapes on paper and then working your pieces flat first. Probably if you were to attempt to do this method again, you'd probably make the shape inside the dotted line, and then do, like, one row of single crochet around the outside of the piece for seam allowance, skipping stitches to allow for the notches.
My first crochet project that made me learn crochet was a full outfit based on a World of Warcraft "trash" armor set. So I literally used pants and tank tops I already owned to know the shape. It looks terrible one me (I'm very overweight, mainly in my abdomen) BUT, it came out great! Sewing and crochet are not a bad combo.
Choly Knight is fantastic!! I've made a bunch of her plushies, crazy high quality sewing patterns.
I think it's very cute and I can see it being something to do when you REALLY want it to look like a crocheted sewing pattern lol
like if that's the look you want it's totally possible and cute
and!!!! I would love to see you do wearables!!!! I find them more intimidating than amigurumi and with you being the first channel I really followed any patterns from and learned how to crochet? from? I think it'd be cool to see and go "look! if complicated knots can do it so can I!!!"
This looked both delightful and painful at different moments of the video. The end result was really cute though! I love the look combining both techniques gives. Well done! Hope you got proper rest afterwards XD
Omg, thank you so much for making this video!! I’ve been wondering if this was possible for ages, now I finally know the anserwer🤣
Short rows for amigurumi have been bugging me for the same reason! The solution I settled on for myself was to crochet the wrong side from the back (I actually crocheted for several years from the back because I learned by mirroring my leftie mom). A month later I found a tutorial for the same technique.
I’ve been asking this question since I learned how to crochet (just last summer). Thanks for answering it! I would love to see you do this again but only if your up to it. Trauma such as this may never be recovered from😂
"Should you Crochet and Sewing Pattern?"
No idea, I can't Crochet! Should you a Sewing Pattern? Let me get back to ya on that!
Haha! You were so busy trying to see if you could you didn’t stop to ask if you should! (Seriously though I love him as Peaches’ bedtime plushy!)
Cute little dino. It really turned out great. Lots of work having to hand stitch everything. I would like to give a go using a pattern for a dress. Wondering about the size yarn to use for that? Would want something that would have a good drape and would gather easily. Any suggestions? Thanks for showing us that crocheting from a sewing pattern is doable. Love you and God bless.
He's absoulutely adorable! However, it looked like way too much work compared to the standard way of crocheting an animal. :)
Such a cool idea! the way he comes together reminds me of some "crocheted" items in video games where someone threw a crochet texture over a plushie that looks to be sewed together. Thanks for another great video :)
Yes you can. I've explained the basic process many times. It's similar to converting knit patterns from a schematic. It's how my Grams taught me to crochet. You crochet to the shape and to measure. I wouldn't have started on the side. Start from the center and shape out. I use simple patterns to create things. It's a lot easier to do with panels and clothes. With the head because you want stretch you'd add more of the seam allowance, knit you wouldn't need to.
I prefer using sewing concepts for making crochet. If you aren't familiar with clothing construction, the patterns don't end up with tapers or proper fitting. It drives me nuts.
I knitted a gabardine with a sewing pattern! It was so...oddly hard yet not imposible and turned out majestic, would i do it again? No, never, ill rather lick the floor of nyc but hey, was nice.
in germany we say ''langes Fädchen, faules Mädchen'' and it fits 100% to everyone like u and me who rather die than using small pieces of yarn to sew something
Oh this is a very interesting idea. I never even considered that. I imagine it would work well with sewing patterns for closing as well... something to consider (I say as if I don't have enough projects already)
the way that I have been wondering about this very thing!! I love crocheting wearables and I love a tailored look, but every time I find myself modifying patterns and unraveling rows over and over again to get the fit just right, I find myself thinking about taking up sewing instead lmao
Yes!! Cholyknight is underappreciated, so many cute free patterns ❤
Ohhh myyy gawwwd I was literally just talking to my friend about this! Inspired even more to try now!
Im kinda doing this rn, i got a sewing corset pattern and making the pieces in crochet then I'll probably slip stitch then together(so much work btw, I'm like 4 hours in anx got one piece and a half)
You know you could always work every other row backwards, like a herringbone stitch. It's hard at first but u get the hang of it fairly quickly.
currently i'm trying to crochet a sewing pattern for a pouch and oh boy i'm beyond struggling even though i picked an easy rectangular shape pattern, i'm honestly in awe of your ambition here.
I'd love to see you try this with a garment! Larger pieces would be more forgiving, I think. Great video!
Little tip if you want to do this again in the future, while you’re doing the freeform crochet parts, put a stitch marker anywhere you see a dart. That way you can still match everything up the way you would with the darts, but it’s removable for sewing!
This reminded me so much of the T Rex toy from Cocomelon. The toy is knitted up but in pieces like this. It was clearly not designed by an amigurumi maker! This turned out so cute though!
You look great in this video!! Idk if you maybe lost some weight or picked up a new skin care routine or something, but you are glowing!!
I'm glad you attempted this and the end result was really cute! I think the next step would be to attempt to create this sewing pattern as an amigurumi. So you'd use traditional amigurumi methods to try and recreate the design. You could compare the final results then. I hope that makes any sense 😂🙈 but it would be interesting to see
You did an awesome job! I’ve also wondered about using crochet for sewing pattern pieces. Now I might give it a go.
I was hoping this was going to be about clothes! My body does best in clothes with princess seams, darts, etc. and there aren’t many crochet patterns with those sorts of features. I have some sewing patterns that I think would be cute in crochet… I just need to bite the bullet and give it a try.
I made this pattern a few years ago sewing a few dinos by machine, and I can say you definitely aren't the only one who had issues with the teeth! I end up trying a few different methods to get the teeth to sit in place properly and end up using a similar method as you but of course with double layered fabric. I also found that like you top stitching made the teeth sit nicer and helped to secure them in place. I do remember having to go in by hand to manipule the ends of the strip and tack it inside with hand stitching aswell.
Hope this helps anyone who is wanting to try this pattern!
That was really cool! I love it! It seems like something really fun to do, but stressful at times 😅. You're so awesome. I hope to be that good one day!
I can actually see a reason for crocheting the piece and then sewing it! At least for me after cutting the fabric for sewing the fibers irrate my nose really bad (i think it may be related to a dust allergy not sure). If you dont have to cut fabric and get lose fiber everywhere it may be better on peoples allergies and an alternate way people could sew. Not sure if irratation is common with people but if people have that issue this may be an alternative!
I’m had a very similar idea nagging me, so I’m working on designing a knitted version of a specific top design! Interesting to see this and the comments of other people with a similar line of thought!
This is absolute Insanity as far as efficiency of time use is concerned. I have to say he is super adorable like those vintage toys from the 40s and 50s. I think the contrasting green stitch on the head really enhances the aesthetic and it's super cute.
I did so many creations from her patterns! Like all the eeveeolution or pumpkin bulbasaur :)
I would also be interested in seeing this with clothing patterns- I've been trying to figure that out for a cosplay project.
