Does anyone know of a video tutorial on how best to fix this? It is commercially made but i really like it.
PSA: dont wrap gifts on favorite crochet pieces. Cutting wrapping paper is not to mix with yarn crafts!
Oh, how I wish I could help! I am just sending emotional support and hoping for you to find a great resource!
It’s one of those things that I think I could fix if I was doing it in person. Like if I had a few options of crochet hook sizes, and a few yarns to try with. But I have no idea how to tell you to fix it from afar.
Thanks, guys, moral support is good, too! I’m going to muck around with it (and hopefully not make it worse! Haha!) this weekend.
I wonder if you could find a similar pattern on Ravelry, to see what the steps they did in the crocheted blocks were.
That’s gorgeous!
I’d probably try reproducing the thread pattern using crochet thread and a big sewing needle.
Also, yet another time i wish our homes were connected to the Floo network.
I’m no help but…that sucks! Sending emotional support.
Do you crochet at all? If it were me I’d just kinda crochet a small grid and then use the same color thread to sew/wrap the new yarn to the old yarn. That way it’d give it strength to not rip/pull out more. The coverlet is so big I think an imperfect fix that will help it keep its integrity wouldn’t be too noticeable.
Or just get crazy and do some visible mending. Giant flower appliqué…right?!
I do crochet, and I like visible mending! We’ll see which path leads to success this weekend… dun dun dunnnnnn
