We’re sure that laughing at other people’s knit and crochet misfortunes will come back to haunt us next time we pick up the needles or hook. That’s the way karma works. But we still can’t resist having a chuckle at these funny fails that brave crafters have shared with the world - we’ve all been there!
Mr Tickle
“This pattern has come out with crazy proportions!”
Hip to be square
“I’ve been trying to learn how to crochet. Needless to say, it is not going very well. This is supposed to be a square”
Broccoli, anyone?
“This was supposed to resemble a fedora. Sigh”
Tree-mendous
“This pretty much sums up my experience of learning to knit with no wifi or resources except a glossy but god-awful reference book. Let’s try this one again, shall we?”
Never forget
“Always remember to swatch…”
Chef's special
“I love this yarn but this hat looks like a freaking chef hat”
Sparkly balls
“It’s for a public yarn bomb – it’s NOT what you think it is!”
Silver lining
“Crochet fail, but my lipstick totally matches!”
Tiny tears
“Made this for my friend’s baby-to-be, but it’s so tiny I’m going to give it to my eight year old neighbour for her doll”
Puffball
“I think I’ve misread the pattern, it’s supposed to be flat…”
Rhubarb and custard
“So I wasn’t paying attention when trying to upsize a pattern and I used the wrong hook… Oops!”
Heaps of potential
“This is supposed to be a granny square with four corners. I lost my way somewhere with the pattern and ended up with this pink princess crown. I could add a fastening to the back and turn it into a pretty hair clip though. If I was 12”
Squeak piggy squeak
“When you try to make a mouse and it looks like a pig!”
