How to finally master the magic loop, and a simple trick to tighten it
Great tutorial. I will be using this to cover some pillows that don't match my couch. It's a nice, dense stitch with interesting but not distracting texture, which is just what I want. Thanks for making it so easy to learn and follow!
Instructions are much clearer than the other videos, which i have seen to learn star pattern--- loved the way you explain - ❤
This video is fabulous. I am a recovering head injury patient and I’ve had to learn how to crochet all over again and the way you explain things is just wonderful and I can’t thank you enough. ❤
My earlier project had gaps at one end & this tutorial makes it perfect! I'm making a blanket with this stitch.
This stitch is gorgeous. I want to make a baby blanket with it.
I loved how alow this was for im going to be pausing it after to make sure it's like yours.
You explain this so well. I've done this stitch before in a blanket (and apparently forgot how), but now I'm using a metallic yarn trying to make a little clutch bag and was having the hardest time. Your tutorial is the best - thank you!!
This is my favorite stitch ❤Thank you
I am not sure what I am or am not doing wrong.. I tried a different pattern and it left a big gap at tail. Tried with your stitch count and ended up with another extra chain. Combined the two by using odd number chain and the count worked out perfectly to use your method at the end of first row to get no big gaps. Only thing I can think of is I'm not counting to the second stitch from hook in the correct way when I'm starting the first row.. 🤷🤷
I think it has to do with working in the back loop. I tried several times not working into the back loop (bc I don’t like the back loop on the foundation row). Every time I worked it into the side loop as she calls it, I ended up with an extra chain as well. I forced myself to do it again and work into the back loop 😅 and it worked exactly as hers and with no extra chain at the end.
Great! I can now work on getting the loop tight, thank you 😊
Thankyou so much. You are amazing 👍💖
I am a new subscriber and this is the clearest video I have seen on this pattern. Thank you.
I tried multiple times to close that gap at the end of a star stitch row and couldn't for the life of me figure out how. Thanks for making it so simple.
Wow! That's the 4th video I'm watching to try to understand that stitch, and Girl, you rock it!! Thank you so much! Best explanation! You show clearly where to insert the hook and I prefer the finish you do for the sides! ❤👏👍
Love, love, love
Excellent, clear instructions.
Best explanation of where exactly to insert the hook for the star stitch! Visibly and verbally clear. Many thanks!
How would the SC+CH instead of starting chains work for HDC rounds?
Great instructions! Thank you!
Best tutorial. ❤❤ Thank you 🎉😊
Very clear instructions…thank you so much…
Thank you a lot ❤
Thanks for the tutorial. It is very pretty and neat as well. Hope to do a shrug
Very beautiful explanation thank you
Ok just to confirm, you do not do 2 double crochet in the partial star eye at the end? Very helpful thank you!
How do i get this written pattern?
Hi do you have an invisible method for crocheting a flat round with an invisible join but stitching forward then reversing in single stitch please?
Hi there! Do you mean turning your work and going back around, or an actual reverse single crochet (aka crab stitch)?
@@squishyandco you work from beginning of the round to the end, turn your work and work the next round if that makes sense
@@gillianfawkes Yes, that makes sense! I don’t currently have a video for that, but I will play with it and see what I can come up with.
@@squishyandco Sorry I do mean that I crochet single crochet to the end of the round, join somehow, turn my work and go back the way I came but without the horrible line that a slip stitch join and turning chain makes,
Good tutorials
Thank you for explaining the differences! This was confusing for me umtil.now!!
For senior citizens whoch hooks you recommend.
Oh my!! This video/method is a true game changer!! I just recently tried the star stitch, and I loved it, but really really disliked the way the sides/ends looked with that “gap!!” This is a thousand times more lovely done this way!! Thank you so much for this tutorial!!
That's great to hear! I'm so glad you like it!
Another great tutorial! Easy to follow and straight to the point. Thank you! 😊
You’re welcome! And thank you for letting me know! It’s motivating me to get back to making tutorials!
@@squishyandco Please get back to it! 😄♥️
I’ve done this pattern before but really liked the way you do it. I finally have nice straight edges! Thank you!! 😊❤
That’s so great to hear! I’m glad you like it!
Love your instructions. Easy to follow. Fixed my edges.
That’s great! I’m happy I could help!
I really love this video 🤍 its very helpfull!!!
Awesome! I’m so glad you found it helpful!
I got the Clover Amour hooks and never even been tempted to buy the Soft Touch. I feel like there’s no way to improve upon the Amours. They’re so perfect. 💕
I’m sorry I missed your comment! After having them for a year, I admit I’m reaching for the Amour more often!
THANK YOU! I was struggling so much where whenever I tightened, it turned into a big knot. Thank you for breaking it down so clearly. <3
Yay! That part was a game changer for me too!
I actually enjoy the ST a lot. They are so light, which is great as I suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome. I find the grippiness of the Amour nice, but for some reason it makes me tighten my hand. 😮
That's funny because I have a tighter gauge with the Soft Touch. Crazy how different things work for different people!
@@squishyandco I actually ended up buying the ST, and Amour, and Tulip, and Prym, just to test them. Now I have a whole collection 😂 Not a set of each, just one of each😅
This is the best review I’ve seen of these two lines - thank you so much! Subscribed
That is a huge compliment. Thank you!
Unfortunately I bought soft touch and I hate them for dropping the stitches - doesn't matter whether the yarn is thick or thin. They are also very light and form me it's a big no. For 'pen' crocheters this feature may be helpful.
Ooooh interesting. So you like your hooks to have more weight? I tend to get hand pain if they're too heavy.
I wish soft touch made bigger hook sizes!!! At least to a K & L PKEASE PLEASE
YES! Me too! And maaaaybe a new color.
Thank you for your Video. Very helpful. Best wishes for your channel from Germany ❤❤❤
Danke! I’m glad you found it helpful!
hi i am trying this tip. However, why do you have to squeeze in 2 stitches in that last stitch? I had started a hat but I don't see that I need to do that part. Or I will have too many stitches.
What a wonderful sturdy ring, it looks like it will last forever. I can do a magic ring but not with a double loop such as you demonstrated so well! Thank you!
You’re welcome! 😊
Bless you for making this video. I can finally make the magic ring!
Aw thank you! I’m so glad it helped!
Thanks 🙏 those are all neat ways to do a slip knot ❤❤
Thanks, Angie! 😊
First time I have ever was able to do the magic circle.
I’m so happy this helped! 🥳
Wonderful video!!! I am gonna make this! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you!!!!! The best "magic" tutorial, and I have watched many!
I’m so happy to hear that!
This is the only tutorial that i could folliw and understand and then do !!!! Thank you soooooooo much !!!!!!
I'm so happy to hear that!
