Welcome back to the Cosmic Couch, besties—this is EP. 2, where I do what I do best: sit in my cozy little she shed and react to crochet projects that are… spiritually questionable. I’m talking “cursed crochet” in the most affectionate way possible—those makes that are technically stitches, but emotionally they’re a jump scare. We’re laughing, we’re cringing, and I’m also giving real crochet-brain commentary on why some of these end up looking the way they do. Even though we’re being dramatic (because it’s Cosmic Couch), I’m still looking at things through my plushie-studio lens: shaping, proportions, yarn choice, tension, and what happens when you trust a pattern that clearly did not go through a test crochet. My big takeaway is that “cursed” doesn’t always mean “bad”—sometimes it’s just a design choice, a weird yarn, or one tiny construction decision that snowballs into chaos. And honestly? That’s part of the fun of crochet. If you’ve ever made something and thought, “Why does it look like that,” you’re in the right place.
