So I’m trying to crochet Luna Lovegoods radish earrings and I realised that micro amigurumi is soo hard. I can do granny squares but amis are confusing and complicated. So I have some questions:
#1 Stitch markers? My normal ones don’t fit in the small stitches.
#2 How to avoid holes? When I’m crocheting with the thread there’s always holes. Edit: I’m using a 0.6mm hook.
#3 Any tips on how to see your stitches? I have a lamp from IKEA but I can barely see the stitches.
Tysm in advance!!!
i’ve never done microcrochet, but i would say this:
and i know @Juniper2010 js micro-crocheted an owl (1mm hook), so maybe she can help!!
Tyyy. I didn’t think abt the contrasting thread. I’ll definitely use that!!
ofc!! i use it since i often crochet with a 1.75mm hook and size 2 yarn, so i have a similar problem lol. tho atp i don’t even use stitch markers, lolsiessss
Hmm maybe use a small safety pin for a stitch marker I’ve never micro crocheted before so idk about the rest of the stuff
for #2 possibly trying using a smaller hook? Are you yarning over or under?
I yarn under.
Okay so its great to use yarn under. I use a paper clip for my stitch marker!
1- regular safety pins!!!
2- you can get super duper tiny aluminum hooks :) and yea it is hard to keep tension with thread
3- uhhhh your phones flashlight? Idk a rlly bright light
Have you conidered lighted jeweler’s headset or glasses? I’m a retired nurse practitioner. I use the set I used to wear for suturing when I’m doing fine needlework.
I will never attempt micro crochet
But if you create a normal sized one lemme know because my mom absolutely LOVES Luna and I would love to make them for her
