Can you crochet a dinosaur from a sewing pattern?

[@justanotherstory3027]

This scratches that impossible itch in my brain like I need to make every sewing pattern a crochet pattern 🤗

[@ComplicatedKnots]

I have been resisting the urge to try this for ages! Felt so good to give it a go :)

[@justanotherstory3027]

@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 😄

[@lazyperfectionist3978]

Man am I glad I wasn't the only one thinking that every time I've ever looked at a SewDesuNe pattern

[@ComplicatedKnots]

It's specifically her patterns that caused this!

[@stephenie44]

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)

[@ShainaMakesStuff]

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

[@dees3179]

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…..

[@saltydinonuggies1841]

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

[@hcwtr4gic]

good news! she did

[@InfinityWayvern]

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

[@ComplicatedKnots]

I mean, technically we could crochet around the outside of the pieces to join them together, I was just taking a shortcut by sewing :)

[@InfinityWayvern]

@@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!

[@SoMagicalMichele]

"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!

[@mackenziedesire7515]

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!

[@keylimecat1982]

"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.

[@alexaliss8233]

It's giving "substitute doll" and I love it

[@Juushika]

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.

[@niniemecanik]

"Witchcraft accomplished" 😆 The result is amazing ❤

[@aceof_frost]

I'm totally with you on rather untangling my yarn fifteen times than trying to get my yarn into my needle more than once!

[@azraelthanos9400]

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 !

[@TheReganasaur]

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 😂

[@miriamvlachoulis6875]

"Oh, nevermind, I fell in love with it." Yep

[@joannethompson6301]

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.

[@rusted_ursa]

Oh, man, I've been a cholyknight fan for ages. I can't wait to see what this looks like when it's done.

[@celebuial]

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.

[@MrRepublicking]

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. 😊❤

[@agricolaterrae]

That actually turned out really well! I'd be curious to see how a garment pattern would turn out.

[@waarzegster1518]

As someone who is a plushie maker and makes lots of choly knights patterns, you did an excellent job.

[@BeaniBunnii]

I've been thinking of doing this for a few years with wearables! I'm so excited to see I'm not alone 😂

[@love_to_crochet315]

Love the wearable idea 🤗🩷

[@love_to_crochet315]

He turned out super adorable 🥰🥰🥰

[@NegativeOctopus]

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

[@LoriBirdy1999]

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

[@elizzabethwilmes4604]

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.

[@kitwickliff]

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!

[@ASquareGranny]

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! ☺️🥰🧶🦖

[@MuppetMissile]

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!

[@ShakespeareJones]

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.

[@Ivy-Woods]

That looks so good! The finished product is adorable!!

[@Onjago]

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.

[@oasispond2591]

I’ve been wondering if you could crochet a sewing pattern for so long I’m SO invested!

[@lulubellsshoebox1650]

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 😆

[@24shineon]

THIS IS WHAT IVE NEEDED

[@HandleTaken77777]

The slightly unhinged: “NINE HOURS LATER.” Represents me on every project.

[@Evie-rp6pe]

That turned out way too cute!

[@Kayaya]

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.

[@Tunanunaa]

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.

[@Tunanunaa]

I have also made that T Rex pattern before and it's definitely not an easy one. You were very brave for attempting it!

[@TheTigersDenOnline]

I never would have thought of this. The dino came out great!

[@ahooka2727]

I love love love how you think outside of the box, it's so inspiring, thank you

[@Midge5184]

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!

[@Creato-Gaming]

I love this idea!!

[@ComplicatedKnots]

It was strangely both more AND less fun than I make it look XD

[@rojachan]

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

[@aynDRAWS]

I love him! He's such an adorable aesthetic!

[@itzyforever17]

this is so cool, i’d buy a pattern like this if someone wrote it

[@amara560]

What a wonderfully, bizarrely creative idea! I adore the result 🤩

[@dracenathe6th383]

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

[@nireynoctem]

haha wrote this too xD *german high five*

[@Onjago]

Ooh I can relate. In Finnish it’s called “laiskanlanka”, translates to “lazy one’s thread”.

[@lisapeacock14]

Choly Knight pattern and crochet!! Amazing! I've made loads of plush from her patterns and they're all super cute

[@lmcarl]

That turned out amazing! You are so talented, Kylie, thank you for sharing with us!

[@katyspaink8870]

Choly Knight is fantastic!! I've made a bunch of her plushies, crazy high quality sewing patterns.

[@sussybaka119]

Yes!! Cholyknight is underappreciated, so many cute free patterns ❤

[@artofalos]

He’s so cute!!! I love him!!! Also I love the idea of him being Peaches little toy dino 😊

[@maverickmayhem6409]

I just got a bunch of fabric patterns to try this. You're the first person I've found that's asked this question

[@ivygarcia6878]

You *have* to crochet more sewing patterns! This was fun to watch!

[@Bendyzebra]

Omg that worked out so good. So cute!

[@aschetrash9878]

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!

[@writing_noah9726]

THAT LITTLE FELLOW LOOKS ADORABLE! Great job, sorry it plucked all your feathers out!

[@ComplicatedKnots]

My feathers have recovered, so all good XD

[@CobraCreates]

Honestly, I really like how it looks! I like the different texture this technique gives. I think with a little practice it could really work.

[@barbaraallen4824]

I think you did remarkably well in making a sewing pattern into a crochet project. He is very cute!

[@nickzoner9965]

From sewing I know all the quirks shapes come out during assembly. Cool to see it all come together!

[@boxerdogsmom]

He is adorable ❤

[@barbaraeckman2588]

This came out ADORABLE!!!

[@stayshiny4775]

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 :)

[@glowingsoulfire819]

You have such creative video ideas! I am always looking forward to your uploads.

[@TheTwistedFry]

Cholyknight is the best. I love her patterns.

[@alicemacgregor]

I can't lie but I think your crochet version is so much cuter than the felt version!!!

[@sharonjameson8412]

Love this, as I sew also, it opens up a whole new avenue of patterns! I think I would crochet it together, inside out, just leaving the head and accents to sew. Thank you 🙂

[@ComplicatedKnots]

I'd get smoother lines that way, for sure!

[@c0ldlight1]

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.

[@glittermytimbers]

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!

[@eagleironic5815]

This guy has such a sack boy vibe, and I love it!!

[@nicoleh3703]

I've been thinking about this for over a year now. I'm sure there would be a HUGE calling for more of this type of pattern. As an amigurumi maker, I find it impossible to take my projects traveling without having them half completed. If they are made flat, they are great for traveling. I'm also a knitter, especially of teddy bears. I used to make them while waiting for my office to open. I would leave all the pieces attached to one another, and take a giant string home. I would then take them home, cut them apart, stuff, and assemble them at home. I would then put the teddies up for adoption on my desk. My office building ended up full of teddies!

[@MamaTata86]

It turned out so well!! 😊 I would love to see other sewing patterns. Like you mentioned, with larger panels.

[@Vampiratelycan]

I don't know why but the dino head getting pulled off the table cracked me up during the sewing

[@CraftyKayC]

How adorable! Wonderful job

[@jelianabean3716]

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😂

[@binglemarie42]

I'd love to see you try this with a garment! Larger pieces would be more forgiving, I think. Great video!

[@preciousodyssey]

i think perfecting the shapes of the pieces in crochet would make these with the sewing seams a very cool, collectable and marketable aesthetic and toy.

[@ComplicatedKnots]

I completely agree. It has a really nice aesthetic, just needs a whole lot of polish!

[@Raediamoon]

I'm with you on the long thread. I'll fight tangles all day before I have to rethread with shorter ones.

[@wolfmaster8464]

This is awesome, despite the slight hiccup in the beginning and all the witchcraft, I say if ur looking for a challenge and have the time on ur hands this is worth doing

[@wendyshort6900]

This was so interesting to watch Thank you for sharing your trials ❤

[@mamapooki49]

I used a paper pattern to shape the sleeve cap of my Molly Weasley sweater with the frilly cuffs. It worked out great.

[@singerofsongs468]

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

[@jennishoesmith5286]

You did an awesome job! I’ve also wondered about using crochet for sewing pattern pieces. Now I might give it a go.

[@mariairina6143]

Oh my, I never knew the sea of cute sewing patterns. Her finished products look so insanely professional and cute, I might have a new hobby on my list. I say might, but I already ordered the plush fabric haha I might need to do a hobby giveaway with how many I have

[@amandanicole624]

I think it's cute with the seams and stuff like that

[@mishellegarrett9243]

He's adorable!!

[@MillsSkits]

What a creative idea! It turned out cute! 😊

[@jessherselfable]

This whole process looked so torturous but the end result was adorable and now I kind of want to do it. 😂

[@cookiesandcrumbsyt]

it came out so cute! id love to see what it would look like as say a sweater. i imagine it would be "easier" (not at all easy lol) since it would have bigger pieces and less small curves. i imagine it would be more forgiving in the end when sewing it together. great video! have a nice one!

[@TapperPlushMom]

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.

[@sambeawesome]

The amount of cute though is off the charts! I think you nailed it :)

[@jaderawkins1946]

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

[@safirespeeddrawing]

I love this! It looks like you could make the head into a little bag or purse

[@lauratwyford8527]

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!

[@black_winterr]

Yes!!!! I've been wondering if someone could do this and this is perfect!!! thank you so much!!! beautiful work ^_^

[@DarkRubberDucky]

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.

[@nandadejesus636]

I'm definetly NOT running to Choly Knight's website and grabbing a sewing pattern and a crochet hook **dashes out of the room**

[@mr-67890]

Ive wanted to do the same with knitting , since i knew out about cut a sew with knitting machine knits. Crochet is a great idea too.

[@maxinenall9950]

He's adorable 😍 but I might just sew him from fabric because it's so much faster 😂

[@sStellaAlexandraA]

Ohhh myyy gawwwd I was literally just talking to my friend about this! Inspired even more to try now!
