The Moogly Crochet Alphabet has been a labor of love! So many letters, some easy, some a challenge, but all fun! These applique letters are great for the Perfect Party Pennant Garland, but they have unlimited uses. Monogram a blanket, make toy blocks, make puffy letters for beginning readers, decorate a child’s bedroom – you name it! And there are crochet number patterns available now too!
The specific yarn weight and hook size doesn’t really matter for these, as long as you use a hook size a couple sizes smaller than you normally would for that yarn. The bigger you go, the bigger the letters! Use thread and a steel hook for tiny crochet alphabet! These letters, made using the hook and yarn listed, were about 3 1/2″ tall. Leave long tails at either end if you plan on sewing these to another piece of fabric!

One recommendation: When planning a project, use the Print Friendly button at the bottom of the pattern. This will allow you to delete the letters you are not interested in and only print out the patterns for the letters you want to use! Just remember, if you are in need of a W or Z, you’ll need to include the instructions for M or N. I hope you enjoy The Moogly Crochet Alphabet and are able to use it to add a personalized touch to some of your projects!

How did you know this was just what I’ve been looking for? You always seem to read my mind. Have a new grand-baby on the way and I wanted to use initials on a couple of hats and blankets. THANKS a million!

Shana says
Hi Ms. Kelly! I have a question regarding the Letter “A”
Row 4: Sc in the back hump of the 2nd ch from hook, sc in remaining 2 ch. Sc2tog, working into the same st as the last sc of Row 3 and the next unworked st (sts #5 and 6 of that side of the A.). Turn. (4 sts)
What does the “Sc2tog, working into the same st as the last sc of Row 3 and the next unworked st (sts #5 and 6 of that side of the A.).” mean?
Hope you reply ASAP! Thank you.
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Shana! Sc2tog is single crochet two together – it’s a decrease stitch. Insert the hook into the same st as you made the last st of Row 3 in (on the right side “upright” of the A), yo and pull up a loop. Then insert the hook into the next stitch on the right side of the A (left unworked in Row 3), yo and pull up another loop. You now have 3 loops on the hook. Yo again and pull through all 3 loops on the hook.

Ali
Tamara Kelly says
Thank you all so much!
It’s been a lot of fun to make, and I hope to add the numbers soon!
Marrie says
I’ve already seen numbers of moogly!..they were also tooooooooooooooooooo cool an’ awesome!!
Julia Tellier says
Thank you for posting your Moogly Alphabet, I’ve been looking for a way to personalize my Teacher Husbands classroom with banners and these letters will be perfect for that. He teaches Algebra and Pre-Algebra which I will now crochet to put up on his walls. Thank you so much.
Tamara Kelly says
Sounds wonderful Julia!
Claudia says
Wow, Thank you!
jo says
What about the letter m and n??
Tamara Kelly says
They’re there! Just scroll to their spot and you’ll see the patterns.
T says
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! These are AWESOME!!!!
Brenda says
Thank you so much for sharing these!! Awesome!
Dianna says
ok i need some help. do i crochet the ‘f’ like the ‘e’ ? i am trying to place the correct letter next to the instructions and i seem to be off a few letters.
thank you for sharing your talents
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Dianna! The instructions for each letter are beneath the photo for that letter. Yes, the F is just like the E, except without that last “arm.”
Dianna says
thank you. but the way my printer printed up the letters are not near the instructions that is why i am a bit flustered over which is which.
Tamara Kelly says
Ah, gotcha! That does sound super confusing! Did you use the Print Friendly button at the bottom?
Dianna says
yes but when printer started printing i saw the craziness and didn’t want ink wasted so i kept going.
can you help me where to connect each ?
Tamara Kelly says
Yikes, sorry about that, it should have stayed lined up! All I can recommend is comparing the printed version to the online version and marking each set of instructions as it’s letter. They are at least in order I hope?
Tamara Kelly says
Ok, I just took a look at what the Print Friendly does to this pattern – what a mess! I’ll add text labels so that will help with future printings. I had no idea it would rearrange it all like that!
Dianna says
thanks. i will check your pattern site again
Dianna says
ok i will recheck the pattern
Tess says
This is so awesome… have been looking for an alphabet for crochet!! This is perfect! Thank you so very much for sharing!!! And the videos!! Haven’t checked them yet, but will be so helpful for visual!!!
GOD BLESS!!!
kristen carlton says
i seem to be having trouble with the ‘a’ the end of row three and row four is not working out for me is any one else having trouble or is it just me missing something
Tamara Kelly says
Hi kristen! The A is one of the trickier letters. The chain at the end of Row 3 are the start of the cross-bar of the A, and Row 4 is working back across those chains, and anchoring it back on the side, before working back onto the cross bar. Does that help at all?
Giuseppe Lucarelli says
Hi, I am getting stuck at this point too. Not getting when/where to anchor back to the other side. Is there a step missing?
Tamara Kelly says
Let me see if I can help. Ok, so you’ve got the left upright side of the A and the right upright side, and the cross bar that connects them horizontally. Now, when you read Row 3, it says
Ch 1, sc in the first 11 sts. Sc2tog over next 3 sts, skipping the center st. Sc in the next 4 sts, leaving remaining sts unworked. Ch 4, turn. (16 sc, 4 ch)
So, you sc up the left side (Ch 1, sc in the first 11 sts.), made the sc2tog that creates the top point between the sides (Sc2tog over next 3 sts, skipping the center st.), and start working down the right side, but stop after 4 sc (Sc in the next 4 sts, leaving remaining sts unworked.). Then you chain 4, which will be “pointing toward” the left side of the A (Ch 4, turn).
Now, we move to Row 4:
Sc in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in remaining 2 ch. Sc2tog, working into the same st as the last sc of Row 3 and the next unworked st. Turn. (4 sts)
Working back into the ch 4 you just made, skip the ch closest to the hook and sc in the next ch, as well as the other 2 ch (Sc in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in remaining 2 ch.). Then: insert the hook into the same stitch as the last sc made in Row 3 (the 4th sc on the right side of the A), and pull up a loop. Insert your hook again into the very next st on the left side of the A (the first unworked stitch left over from Row 3, what would’ve been the 5th st of that side), and pull up another loop. Yarn over and pull through. This completes the sc2tog (Sc2tog, working into the same st as the last sc of Row 3 and the next unworked st.).
Now for Row 5:
Sc in the next 4 sts (the sc2tog and the 3 sc from for 4). Turn. (4 sts)
Without chaining, sc in the top of the sc2tog that you just made, and the 3 sc sts of the cross bar. This gives you 4 sc sts.
So for Row 6:
Ch 1, 2 sc in the 1st st, sc in the next 3 sts. Sc2tog, working into the last st of the last sc2tog and the next unworked st. Sc in the remaining 4 unworked sts from Row 2. (10 sts) Break yarn and finish off.
Chain 1 and work 2 sc sts in the first st (still working into the cross bar). Sc in the other 3 sts of the cross bar (includes the st worked into the top of the sc2tog). These are the last stitches worked on the cross bar. Now you’re going to make another sc2tog like you did in Row 4 – first insert the hook in the same stitch that you used for the second half of the previous sc2tog (the 5th st of the right side of the A). Yo, pull up a loop, and insert the hook into the next (unworked) st on the right side of the A (what would’ve been the 6th st of Row 3 if you hadn’t made the cross bar), yo, and pull up a second loo. Yo and pull through again to complete the sc2tog. At this point there should be 4 remaining sts on the right upright of the A, so sc in each of those and you’re done.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you’re still having trouble!
Giuseppe says
Perfect! It turned out great. I had to sew the bridge onto the side by hand is that right?
Tamara Kelly says
Yes!
I’m so glad it worked for you!
Meegan says
You are awesome for sharing this! Thank you so very much!
Jill_in_Alabama says
can’t wait to pair the initials with the crochet bib patterns you listed a couple of weeks ago! It’s such fun to make fun things!
Ray says
These are fabulous! I’m making a thank you garland for a friend.
Angie says
Thank you for the letters! Sweet! I was also having trouble with the A….I did it like 4 times and finally gave up but I couldn’t five up forever. Because my whole family has an A in every name lol. I did the steps just like it said but for some reason I was missing the part where you would anchor or tie into the other bar. I finally just worked something out. My S looks great!!! My M is a little weird but I think that was just my stitching. I tried the B and had to give up last night but I’m going to try again tonight. I love your site and have shared it with friends. When I need a pattern for something I always come here first and see if you have it. Thanks again for all you do!!!!
Tamara Kelly says
kristen says
Thank you so much! That did help also trying it during those few min of quiet time i get helped a lot too..haha again thank you so much for all the wonderful work you share. I have my daughters name done and ready to go…her name is Aria so i really had to master a…making a diaper bag now to put it on…thanks again
Tamara Kelly says
hatangel says
You are a LIFESAVER! I have been so stressed trying to find a really good FREE (yea!) pattern for the entire alphabet. Do you have a numbers pattern, please, please, please? Thanks, hatangel.
Tamara Kelly says
hatangel says
YEA!!!!!!!!!! I, like another poster finally “gave up” (getting too old and impatient) trying to make the letters and numbers come out looking professional. Looking forward to the numbers! God bless you!
mjmb says
I was excited to make this alphabet but I’ve been stuck on the “A” . I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
think I’ll take a break and try again another day.
Tamara Kelly says
Sorry you’re having trouble mjmb! Did you read the comments before yours? There’s a walk-through there that might help. It’s a pity the A is first, it’s probably the trickiest one!
mjmb says
Success! I tried it again today and it worked out fine. The “A” looks great! The additional instructions helped plus a good nights’ sleep
Thank you!
Tamara Kelly says
I’m so glad!
It is indeed tricky!
LIz says
Wow! I can’t wait to get these done. I’m going to give them as gifts for first birthdays!
I’m having a hard time with row 12 on the “B” though. Can anyone help me out? I’m just not understanding.
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Liz! I’m sorry you’re having trouble! Row 12 is made working into the outside curve of the upper curve of the B – into the edges of the rows. So Rows 1-11 make the straight upright line and the top curve. For Row 12, you slip stitch along the bottom outside edge of the top curve, then chain 1 and work a sc, hdc, and dc into the edge as well. The exact placement of the sts doesn’t matter so much as that they’re about “stitch width” apart. This starts the bottom curve of the B.
Does that help?
Tania says
These are great! Will be using them soon for an upcoming project!
Tania
Lisa Lockhart says
Tamara, you’re just the BEST! These are awesome.. I’m going to make banners for my granddaughter’s and my “coming in late April/May 5th” grandson’s rooms. They are SO cool! You give so much back to the crocheting community with your free patterns, videos and tireless help with all our questions!
I love your patterns and videos! Thanks again!
p.s. My cell phone pouch (I was the one who asked you to design one last April!) is kinda dirty but still hanging strong.
Gigi Lee says
These letters are great. I’m going to make bunting for my craft show tables. Thanks. Love your patterns.
Tamara Kelly says
Great idea Gigi!
You’re very welcome!
Natalie says
Fabulous, thank you!
Any chance of a pattern for the & sign or is that too ambitious?!
Am making wedding bunting for a friend and the & sign would be a welcome addition between their names!
Thanks x
Tamara Kelly says
It’s already up!
http://www.mooglyblog.com/perfect-party-pennant-garland/ You’re welcome!
Natalie says
Thank you but I think I confused you! I’ve made the pennants already but need a pattern for the symbol
&
So I can make ‘Tim & Helen’ to stitch onto the pennants!
Does that make sense?! Thank you x
Tamara Kelly says
Aha! LOL, yes I was confused! Sorry about that. I don’t have any symbols made up currently, but I could maybe whip that one up.
Natalie says
Thanks lovely! I’d have no idea where to start LOL! Xx
Tamara Kelly says
Well, you could start with A… but that’s one of the trickier ones… LOL!
Aimée says
What a great tutorial! I’ve free form crocheted letters, but these directions make it so much easier! I crocheted some blocks for my son when he was little and out his name on them…. Take a look!

Tamara Kelly says
Those look great Aimee, fun post! I would’ve commented on it but I couldn’t since I don’t have Blogger.

Sue Martino says
Jus a note to say thank u for the pattern to this alphabet. I thought it would be a good way for my grand daughters (3 & 5) to Learn the letters and spell words and play games with them. Again thank you.
Tamara Kelly says
You’re very welcome!
Gemma Blackwell says
Such great instructions thank you! I’m fairly new to crochet but found your instructions clear & easy to follow. I now have my friends little girl’s name crocheted to go with my crocheted hearts to make some pretty bunting for her 1st birthday!
Tamara Kelly says
I’m so glad they were easy for you to follow!
Thanks for commenting!
Hope says
thank you very much I’ve been looking for a written pattern cause I still can’t read the pattern with symbol
I have a Q .. in LETTER A I cant get it ( skipping the center st. Sc in remaining ) in row 1-2-3
again
thank you very much for this easy pattern (:
xoxo
Hope says
its seems everybody have a trouble with letter A , so kindly can you make a tutorial ( how to crochet latter A ) thank you
Tamara Kelly says
I’ll see if I can make a video!
Mercedes Smith says
I just came across this site… LOVE IT! Is there a link to how to attach the letters to things (like crochet blankets)? Thanks in advance!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Mercedes! There isn’t a link for that, but I would recommend leaving long tails on the letters and then sewing them on if possible.
Adele Anderton says
Have you go a lower case set as well?
This looks amazing a will use very soon.
Thank you
Tamara Kelly says
I do not, but I might in the future – great idea!
melissa says
Awesome!!! Are you working on numbers next ?

SUE HELMICK says
CAME ACROSS THE NUMBERS WHILE CHECKING THE SITE. WAS MORE THRILLED WHEN I CHECKED OUT THE LETTERS! CAN’T SAY THANK YOU BIG ENOUGH!!! HAVE WANTED THESE PATTERNS FOR A LONG TIME.
Tamara Kelly says
Nicole says
Hi! Love this! Any tips on how to switch some of the letters around for a lefty? The only thing I have come up with is attaching the letters backwards o_O
Thanks! Love your blog!
Tamara Kelly says
Ack, I wish I were better with the lefthanded thing! Though sewing them on backwards might work since they’re in rows and not in the round… heh.
Farah says
Thank you so much for the patterns , I just made letter s for a bag ,it was very easy to make thank you soo much
Tamara Kelly says
Glad to hear it Farah!
Nadia Fuad says

philippa says
I was wondering if I could post a link to your site as a reference. I have been thinking about making a bunting saying Ramadan Kareem and was wondering if I could add a link to your site so that people can use your pattern to make their own letter buntings.

Tamara Kelly says

Serena says
I used these cute letters on a pillow for my nephew and his fiance for their wedding shower. I posted a picture on my Raverly page. (Rena19)
Thanks for all your posts and patterns!
Tamara Kelly says
I just favorited it Serena! Looks fantastic!
E. J. Pyewackit says
Ms Tamara,
Thank you so much for this how-to crochet letters and numbers! I’m a newbie with crochet and love the ease of making the letters and numbers from your directions. Awesome!
E.J. Pyewackit
Tamara Kelly says
You’re very welcome E.J.! Thanks for commenting!
Ann Marie Lindsay says
What is the finish size for the letters?Thanks
Tamara Kelly says
About 3.5 inches tall as written.
Penny says
Hi Tamara – I just wanted to thank you again for sharing these patterns. I just made an iPad cozy for my mother in law, and she is a HUGE Nebraska Huskers fan, so I made your letter ‘N’ to put on the front of the cozy. It turned out great! Many thanks.
Penny
Tamara Kelly says
Andrea says
I’ve done the letter S 3 times now and still it comes out like a C. What am I doing wrong?!?!
Tamara Kelly says
It’s hard to say without seeing it, but it sounds like maybe you’re missing a Row 5 repeat, or possible repeating rows 2-3 when it’s supposed to be 3-4 (or vice versa). Those are my best guesses anyway!
Serena says
It took me a few tries to get the “S” to come out correctly. I had to wait until I had no distractions so I could make sure I was doing the correct repeats. Take a break and come back to it…hopefully it will work for you!! Good luck!!
Jo Ann Bigham says
For: Tamara Kelly,
I am a bit confused about which patterns I would be allowed to make and “sell” at a craft show.
For instance: I just bought the Sven Sweater. I AM allowed to make and “sell” the finished product. Correct?
Yet, the Angel Pinafore dress (turquoise) downloaded for free on Moogly, I AM NOT allowed to crochet and “sell” the finished product correct?
How do I know for sure which ones I CAN and CANNOT crochet and sell?
How about the Antie “M” baby Abigail sweater? Yes or No to selling he finished product?
Tamara Kelly says
Any of the patterns I’ve written (all of which should say either copyright Tamara Kelly or copyright mooglyblog at the bottom), you are free to make and sell – that includes the Sven Sweater and any of the free patterns. The patterns in the roundups, such as the Angel Pinafore Dress, are not my designs – I didn’t write them, and I don’t own the copyright. I’m just sharing the links. You’ll need to read the fine print or ask the designer on those, as each one will be different.
The Auntie M Abigail Baby sweater, while hosted here on Moogly, is not my pattern. Auntie M no longer has a blog and has given me permission to host the pattern so that it doesn’t get lost. In the original post on Auntie M’s blog she did ask that people not sell items made from that pattern.
Andrea says
Its not turning to make an S. i will keep trying though!!!
happy star says
you know what?…i have tried them to make within the couple of week!..but I know…u are genius!..I love u an’ your tutorials!..♥♥♥! ;)..it’s awesome!.specially ”V” is difficult!..an’ that is the 1 you make V.v nice ♥
Tamara Kelly says
Thank you happy star! I’m wondering if charts will help with the letters? They’re definitely not beginner patterns- lots of twists and turns!
Marrie says
please can i get a video tutorial for letter ‘M’?
Tamara Kelly says
I’ll see what I can do! Would charts help?
marrie says
yes!..but if i will watch a video so it will be better
Marrie says
sorry Tamara!..you haven’t replied!…well,if you have any cannot make so no problem!..i know you are busy person!.. thanks for your charts help!.& they are written in so clear words!..so no problem!..actually i am Saudi!..i have a little problem in understanding English!…THANK YOU for the help!…♥…still watching your tutorials!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Marrie! I will see what I can do – I can only make 1 video a week, so to do all the letters would take many months. I hope to get the charts up soon – as they aren’t in English I hope it will help faster.
Mel Kel says
I also am having problems with the M. I was able to do the T with great success and it forced me to learn the foundation SC. I can get half the M perfectly but as I start up the other side it just gets all muddled. Any advice? And yes, a chart might be helpful to make sure I’m not off in my counting.
Thanks so much, I really love the letters!
Melissa
Tamara Kelly says
I’ll start working on charts asap!
Mel Kel says
Thanks!!
Connie says
Wow! This alphabet is just what I was looking for to compliment Christmas gifts I am crocheting for my 13 ” grand-angels “. They are easy, just the right size and the photos are most helpful. Thank you, and God bless you for sharing.
Tamara Kelly says
Naomi says
Hi I am doing a yarn bomb for Christmas and was looking for an alphabet to be able to make “merry christimas’ out of, how easy do you think this would be to make larger? We are looking at our panels to be 30-40cm long.
Tamara Kelly says
Those are some big letters! I think it could be done – using several strands of yarn held together and a great big hook would get you close! Then work a nice sc edging all around. You might need to make the lines longer but it would take some experimenting to know for sure.
Kim says
How do you do a foundation single crochet? That’s the only thing I’m having trouble with
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Kim! There’s a tutorial for the foundation single crochet here: http://www.mooglyblog.com/foundation-single-crochet-fsc/
Dawn Goode says
Foundation single crochet
Help, I’m loving your crochet letter patterns, I have even done letter A without too many problems thanks to your video. I have got stuck on H when I have got to the six foundation single crochet. I can’t see anything on your page, is there a video for how to do H? Any help greatly received
Dawn Goode says
Don’t worry, just seen post above mine, sorry xxx
Dawn Goode says
Is there a video for H, your tutorial on foundation single crochet is very helpful but I’m missing something as the rest of the chain is thick but the join is thin. I have worked back and tried numerous times but still stuck. I’d be very grateful xxx
Tamara Kelly says
I’m afraid H is the only one with a video tutorial. I’m not sure what part you mean by join?
Dawn Goode says
No problems, finally sorted it, thank you for all your lovely patterns
Dawn Goode says
No problems, I managed it eventually. The fsc threw me. Thank you for all your lovely patterns
Tamara Kelly says
Valerie says
These are terrific! I’ve been crocheting hats for my daughter who is about to turn four (a Batman hat / mask and a tiger, so far). Can’t wait to make one with an initial on it!
Tamara Kelly says
Heather G. says
I am really off on the G. Don’t ask me how but the first attempt looked more like an S than anything.
Tamara Kelly says
Ouch! My best guess would be you skipped a row of sc sts – which would send the curve off in the opposite direction! Such a bummer though!
Holly says
Would love love love lower case if you get around to it. Tried out the R & S tonight and your pattern was very easy to follow along
Thank you soooo much for making this & your numbers a free pattern 
Tamara Kelly says
Thanks Holly! I might have to add lower case to the list!
Rachael says
Hi! Love your letters! Thanks for sharing! I’m so confused about the fsc on the h and t. Your video tutorial is very helpful but is it exactly the same when in the middle of a project instead of beginning? Do I still chain 2? When I chain 2 it creates separation.. I’m sure I’m being confusing.. Sorry. If you’re able to help me it’d be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Rachael! Sorry for the confusion – this is something I need to make a video about specifically, but it’s a simple trick. Don’t chain, but treat the last regular st you worked as a previous foundation stitch. In other words, insert your hook into the base of the stitch that you are extending from to start the fsc. Does that help?
Rachael says
Yes. Thank you sooo much! You’re so sweet!!!
Melissa says
I used this tutorial to make a “M” for my daughters blanket I made her. Is there a trick to attaching the letters to a crochet blanket? When I winged it last night the M turned into what looked to be the W from the ‘Wu Tang Clan’ haha.
Tamara Kelly says
melissa says
Your alphabet pattern is exactly right for my daughter’s preschool teacher. I am having a rough go with the M pattern. It’s going wonky in the middle. Any suggestions?
Tamara Kelly says
It may seem a little spread out in the middle, but sewing it down as you want it to lay helps. I’m not sure if that’s what you mean?
Melissa says
Well, on each attempt the middle ‘v’ of the ‘M’ either goes wavy or in the wrong direction. I will not give up, but simply move on to the next letter and come back as another post noted when it’s quieter and I can concentrate better. A video tutorial would do me well for this one, too because I don’t read patterns very well. Your patterns are giving me a lot of practise though!
OAN, I hadn’t thought about bunting for my daughter’s preschool room but that may work out better than an extremely long two to four row sc chain.
doneva says
finishing up an afghan for my great grandson and decided to use the moogly alphabet so I could put his name on it. the A was fun but the video is pretty good and after you watch it the directions make sense. I did decide to slip stitch around each letter to even out the edges especially for those letters that curve and it really looks nice. thanks for offering the letters for free. always a good day when you not only find the pattern you need but it’s FREE.
Tamara Kelly says
AlexandreA says
Hi I was wondering if you have a lower case set I’m making gifts my kids and want to put their names on them would love to have a lower case set
Thanks for the upper case
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Alexandre! I don’t have the lowercase done yet, but it’s on my to do list for the future!
Melissa says
Is anyone else having trouble understanding the directions for row 4 of the letter K? Or the K overall? I am struggling and I NEED that letter!! LOL HELP!!!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Melissa! How can I help? Basically, in row 3, you sc in the first 8 sts and leave 7 sts unworked. Then, in Row 4, you chain 9, ignoring everything from Row 1-3, then skip the ch closest to the hook and sc back down that ch toward Row 3, and the sc in what would’ve been the 9th st of Row 3, if you had continued crocheting that row. Does that help?
stella says
Hi Tamara!
Thank you for thw wonderful pattern! All the instructions are well written and easy to follow and the result is amazing! I was wondering if you could help me with something.. I wanted to crochet a streamer that says Merry Christmas in Greek but the letter S in greek is different! All the other letter are alike and I can adjust them but S seems impossible! It’s Σ in greek!
Thanx a lot!!
Tamara Kelly says
Thank you Stella! Have you taken a look at the numbers? I’m thinking the #3 could work – just mirror the top on the bottom?
Ashley Bri says
I really like these letters, they’re really helpful for presents and personalizing projects. Thank you for putting them up. I’m having a little bit of trouble with the letters with S and C. When I try to do an S i get a large C and when i do a C i get a small awkward S. Can you help me with the pattern?
Tamara Kelly says
It sounds like you’re working the wrong number of sc 3 rows in the middle – one too many or too few, which will affect the direction of the bottom curve.
Teri Robbins says
Thanks so much for the crochet letter patterns! I’m pretty good at improvising things I need when I don’t have a pattern, or even altering a pattern to fit exactly what I want, but I’ve never done any letters before. And yes, only a few days ago I agreed to crochet a letter to go on an afghan for a friend’s friend! Are all us crochet-ers guilty of that kind of thing or is it just me???
Either way, I just wanted to say thanks! I love your blog and you inspire me on many of my own projects!
Tamara Kelly says
Harmony says
This is an amazing resource and the video for the letter “A” was very needed (for me anyway). I used the letters to make a new picture for my Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/creatingharmoniously
Tamara Kelly says
Thank you Harmony! Best of luck with your page!
Kimberly says
Hi I was wondering is there any way you can explain how to do the letter Y I seem to be having trouble with it I am very confused thank you.
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Kimberly! Essentially you’re working from the bottom up. You make the vertical base, 3 sc wide, and then make the V at the top. You ch 10 to make one side, sc back to the middle, and then ch 10 to make the second side of the V. Then it’s just shaping up the rest of the V. I hope that helps!
