Ashlee, a Canadian stay-at-home mom, designs interlocking crochet & overlay mosaic crochet patterns. Every design comes with the full written pattern and chart for both techniques (with a handful of single-technique exceptions). These videos will teach you how to use the patterns, how to read the charts, and how to do the stitches. You'll also find a few full-length pattern walk-thrus!

Ashlee and Popcorn's Peel and Stick Desk Upgrade
Переглядів 26921 день тому
I recorded this over a year ago and it's been taking up space on my phone. There's no crocheting, but this new pretty desk has been visible in a few of the videos I've made this last year! I promise to get more crochet videos posted soon!
Tip for Interlocking Crochet after a Long Unlocked Section
Переглядів 405Місяць тому
My number one for interlocking crochet is to count, count, count. But there are also a few ways we can skip counting EVERYTHING by making sure things are fully lined up and only counting ONE layer. In this video I was already sure I had completed the proper number of front stitches but I needed to make sure I placed the next stitch (a back stitch) through the proper window. #crochettips #croche...

Using a Yarn Swift and Winder. From hanks to cakes 🎂
Переглядів 2682 місяці тому
Do NOT try using yarn directly from a hank. A 'hank' of yarn is a big loop (like what's on my arms in the cover image) that has been twisted for packaging. It is VERY different than a 'skein' of yarn that can be used by pulling the yarn from the inside or by using the end on the outside. You need to wind that hank of yarn into a ball or a 'cake' before you attempt to crochet or knit from it. Us...

I couldn't get the screw out of the back of the winder so I whacked it once with a hammer and it did the trick! I hope your pillow is always cold for sharing this
Oh my 🤣🤣 not a hammer! I'm so shocked that worked!
@@AshleeBrotzellDesigns I meant I whacked the gear with a hammer to slam it back in place not the screw 🤣😅
@@scarletthenderson4864 🤣🤣 ok that makes a bit more sense!
TYSM I thought I had to go buy a new one
Saving landfills and your wallet, one machine at a time 😉🥳
Omg thank you. I was getting so annoyed and frustrated that my winder stopped working properly!
It's pretty much useless when it's making donuts!
Thank you soooo much. Joined your newsletter and bookmarked your web page. I used DK weight and 4mm hook and it came out beautifully. I am going to make a table scarf with the squares . Practicing this method. I really like your designs. I hope to practice this technique with your designs so that I can work up my confidence to do your turtle afghan.
What a wonderful goal and plan of attack! I'm so glad you liked this square ❤️ Thanks for the support!
You are my Joan of Arc❤
😍 glad I could help!
I would’ve never known that was a dog
Which works up faster?
Whichever technique you practice more! I started with interlocking and that was faster for me for a few months, but I'm now equally quick at both techniques. However... the optional enveleope border on the mosaic crochet projects takes extra time.
Love this….please show the back fully
I want to learn interlocking!!!!and I live the dogs!!!!🐶
:D Thanks so much! Try one of my small squares first: ua-cam.com/video/_3So3Pe8GWc/v-deo.html
I love this pattern. The best of your patterns
Aw thank you so much!!
I love this pattern. How many total skeins,please
Thank you so much! This pattern is adjustable, so you can easily make it larger or smaller. To make one the same as I made you'll need 9 black (Obsidian) and 6 light blue (Tundra) of the Furls Wander yarn.
When you were weaving in ends, it looked like you were passing through the underside of stitches. Does this ever show on the opposite side, or is there a technique that wasn't explained? Love the video- just discovered your channel from the Crochet Blanket Seminar!
I always make sure I weave the ends into the same color, so you shouldn't see ot no matter which side it peeks out a bit on. I try to make sure I go through the fibre of the yarn and not just around the stitches themselves.
404 error following link to written tutorial. ;( Do you have a link to your original pattern?
Oh dear! I'm so sorry about that! This is the proper link: ashleeslint.com/tunisianmosaiccrochet/
Obrigada por compartilhar seus lindos trabalhos, adoro mas gostaria que se possível em português, sou do Brasil, não entendo sua língua ❤🥰
Obrigado! Adicionei legendas a todos os meus vídeos, mas meus padrões estão disponíveis apenas em inglês.
I'm sorry, chart is blocking row 4. Google translate isn't very well, so I find it most difficult to follow the corners
I'm so sorry about that. You're not the only one that has had that problem. I added the chart at the last minute and my quick check didn't see that problem before I uploaded it. This video also shows the corners (on a different pattern): ua-cam.com/video/NunsCkH1Dr8/v-deo.html
@@AshleeBrotzellDesigns thank you, I will try again then, with the other video.
You did a great job. Like the wood look. Thanks for sharing with all of us. 🎉🎉😅😅
Thank you for the support! I really love the way it looks and I think it does help my videos and photos to look better with this nicer background ❤️
Thank you for this video! It was super helpful for me, as I didn't know where to even begin on reading the chart!!!
I'm so glad it helped!
You are awesome!!!!! Thank You for all your wonderful work and designs.
Thank you for your support! 😊
Thank you, Ashlee! My wife was so disappointed when hers stopped working.
Glad I could help! It was such a shock the first time mine did this to me!
Hi, I'm a newbie to Tunisian crochet but have been doing normal crochet for a few years. I'm really excited about using all the new techniques. I wondered if you know of any benefits for doing tunisian mosiac crochet to just normal crochet? I would like to do a mosaic blanket but not sure if I should use Tunisian mosiac or not. Any advice is appreciated 😊😊😊
Thank You
❤️ hope it helped!
I wish I had watched this before I replaced mine! And, oh, it is a Phillips screwdriver (the little cross one).
Oh no! Darn! Well, now you know for next time? Lol thanks for the screwdriver info!
I find I do crochet better when I have the pattern in front of me with the boxes not the writing
That is a wonderful skill! It does my head in 🤣
Your blanket looks really pretty, but when you’re trying to show somebody about crochet I think you should’ve done a lighter colour
Thank you ❤️ yes, that has been mentioned a few times
Thank you I like this I normally do anchored way
I love how there are so many individual options available and need things to try ❤️
I think that colorway is I Love This Yarn brand Paint Party
Oh I did manage to find the yarn! It is Red Heart Super Saver, colorway: Monet ❤️
Thank you was ready to go buy a new one. Instead I buy more yarn
Wonderful idea!!
Got to say thank you ive been wanting to learn this way of crochet this is so much fun to learn between you and fiber fox im finally learning something new
You are so welcome! Learning new techniques is definitely fun!
Thanks!
Aww thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Ohhh this this great! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I hope it helps ❤️❤️ are you working on an interlocking crochet project currently?
Какой очаровательный рыжик! Помощник!
<3
I moved to Florida almost 2 years ago now but with me I brought my life savings of yarn LOL and I want to use it😂😂😂😂 at least I can send My crochet blankets back to my family in Michigan❤
Your designs are awesome! You're so freaking talented. I'm glad you're living your dream
😁 thank you so much for the compliments!
Yeah I like the ones with the dots in it also
I love that purple letter A you have in your background
Thank you! That's my "Sophisticated A" square. I tried to make the purple match my website logo 😁
Well I subscribed and started looking through your videos. Your last one was 5 months ago. So hooray! You're still on here. I look forward to looking at many more and learning your techniques🎉🎉🎉 thank you very much for sharing with us
I am here! I haven't been very active on UA-cam this year (2024 has not gone to plan!) But I have lots in progress ;)
Oh my gosh Ashley! I absolutely love your technique. So glad I found you! LOL this is the first video I've seen of you so I hope I see many more and learn the way you do it. I love it and you made it look so easy and very explainable thank you again 💜🦩💜
Yay! Thank you!
I wish I googled and found this before I went and purchased a new fancy winder. Oh well I will fix my cheap one and have two. Great video.
Better late than never 😅❤️ at least you will now know how to fix two machines and won't need a third 😉
Sorry but is not clear. First the color of the yarn is dark, and I can't understand what you do, all is too quick. Where is the 4th loop on the hook from? What I have to do if I have a double crochet in the first stitch after change color? You should show how you get at this point, not show just a single stitch.
I can definitely see how this video would seem to be lacking context if you've just come across it and not seen my other videos. It's more of an add-on to my long tutorial found here: ua-cam.com/video/O30h0TVGixE/v-deo.html
Would u suggest someone to learn with x first if they never done this before ? 😊
I would suggest learning the mosaic crochet stitches and then reading from the written patterns 🤣 I don't like following from charts. It is probably a little easier to follow charts that have the x's though. Did you want me to drop a link to one of my tutorials?
i’m on a low consumerism journey and i found this and WOW i hope your pillow is always cool and your dreams sweet this was SO HELPFUL. you are a beautiful angel 👼 🎉 so thankful to have saved my ball winder from the land fill
Perfect!! We don't need to be throwing things away that can be fixed! ❤️❤️
Totally love this hack ! Best hack ever !!!!!
I'm so glad it helped! 🤩
Your video was a lifesaver. Now I don't have to buy a new yarn winder machine.
Perfect! More money for yarn and patterns ;)
I recently bought one and my first cake was perfect. Then next ones were doughnutty and thought was doing it something wrong. Thank you so much
It's amazing how quickly the machine can get out of line and make us think WE did something wrong! ❤️❤️
Wow! I love your pattern and your blanket is beautiful. Thank you so much for being such a patient teacher; you are incredible. But please, next time do not use black for an example. It is so hard to see what is being done and I find myself having to go back many times to see exactly where you are placing your hook. But I love your patience and your thorough instructions. Thank you again! Happy crocheting.
Thank you for your comment! I have definitely learned my black yarn lesson 😬 To be honest, I hadn't planned on making a video when i picked the colors, it was an after-thought but I couldn't switch yarn by then because it was part of the collaboration. ❤️
Omg thank you so so much you’re the best! 🎉
😍🥰 happy to help!
Popcorn is very cute, He's helping you when you work on blanket? We love cats
He always wants to sit on my desk while I work. Usually I let him sit in my arms while I crochet but when I'm recording a video I need more space 🤣 I was surprised he laid so close to his usual spot while I recorded that video!
Awww, he’s so cute ❣️ I have two orange cats now and they’re so sweet 😻😻
He's truly a sweetie!
I am so grateful for your help!! Now I can get back to my project and finish on time. Plus I don’t have to buy a new one.
I'm so glad it helped!
