??? Most of the best crochet stuff that I have was made by people working in offices vita literally the perfect activity for working in an office, what do you mean?
You might have been doing something work-related on your phone. There’s no plausible deniability of that if you’re crocheting.
I have the same problem. I can’t read a book or knit in the office, even if there’s downtime. Because the higher-ups can’t know there’s downtime. It’s our disgusting corporate culture that’s stopping me.
Work-related on your phone personal? I’ve never had a job that would let people use their phones willy-nilly because there might be something “work related”.
i started with this tutorial but got confused at some point and started winging it.
to make the hat above it did roughly this:
magic circle for 6 stiches,
then increase in each stich for a total of 12 stiches, then i mark the last stich done this way and continue without rows as one contionous row. the marker acts as a way to know when you’ve made a whole loop.
top: after the increase in every stich i do a basic circle method - so an increase every second stich, then next loop is every third, then every fourth, every fifth etc. until i reach the loop where i increase every 15 stiches. after the 15 stiches loop i stop increasing (because that’s how big my head is, for smaller heads, stop increasing sooner, for bigger, later. though finish most of the hat before judging the size, as at first i thought it’d be too big but then it turned out perfect).
hight: and then i do 13-15 normal loops, basically keep going until it reaches just above or just over your ears, depending on what kind of hat you like wearing
brim: here i used this random tiktok video for how to start the brim. i do exactly the same thing as with that basket, but outward and increasing every 15th stich. after that loop it’s normal increases again, every 16th, 17th, 18th, until you have a brim you’re happy with :)
edit: oh yeah also i used a 250g thread “suitable for macrame crafts” whatever that means, and a 4mm hook :)
for activities that can be dropped immediately if needed i recommend crochet :)
you can make so many cool things even when you work only in very small bursts between other tasks!
i’ve been making summer hats lately
My wife has recently picked up crochet for a similar reason.
She’s on maternity leave and needed something she could pick up and put down quickly. She’s having a great time.
I work in an office, don’t think that would be a good choice sadly.

Probably some managers don’t like it.
