I'm truly greatful! I've been trying to figure out for so long how to keep the shape of a cube or projects with this type of structure. And I hadn't heard about interfacing until now, thanks!
This is a brilliant video thank you - I like how you explain your reasoning and demonstrate different ideas whilst keeping the video short and to the point 😊
I have a video for how to make dice, but squares are very simple. In general, use as many rows as the square is wide. These squares are 8x8. If you are new to crocheting in rows, you need a turning stitch (chain stitch) before turning and making the next row. Make the foundation chain 1 stitch longer than you need (9 stitches for an 8x8 square) and start the first row in the second chain stitch from the needle.
Exactly the video I needed for my project! Quick question- with interfacing, do you still need to double layer the crocheted squares (like the cardboard example) or can you just see the single pieces to make the cube? Thanks :)
Glad I can help :) You only need one layer if you're using interfacing. However, if you're making something hollow, as in without stuffing, I would probably use two layers - both with interfacing.
I made 6 squares that are 8x8. Chain 9, turn, make 8 single crochet, turn with a turning stitch, 8 sc, etc for 8 rows (as in 8 stitches wide and 8 rows tall, not counting the foundation chain). Sew all the squares together, add stuffing before sewing the last side. A tip is to change the direction of the squares when sewing them together, as the bottom of the square can be a little bit narrower because of the foundation chain. I'm not sure for how long you will make squares by using the same number of stitches wide as you make rows tall, but it works for smaller squares. Hope that helps!
Hi, good question! I haven't washed anything I've done using interfacing, but since interfacing is meant for clothes, it's also made to be washed. However, it doesn't adhere as well to the uneven surface of a piece of crochet as it does to fabric, and therefore I'd recommend gentle hand wash. I generally think of crochet as only wash when absolutely necessary.
@@craftymisscrochet they are probbaly a beginner and want a step by step tutorial on how big to make the squares. Its their own problem, and they are prob just salty that they cant figure it out on their own. Kepp making content :)
ooOOOHH i have not heard of interfacing. this will allow so many possibilities in making rigid crochet structures !!
Can't get over how PERFECT the purple cube is. Can't wait to try that!
Yes, I was really happy to find that it worked that well!

I knew about interfacing before I started to crochet, and even so it took me over a decade to realise I could combine the two!

Thank you!
Thank you so much!!!!!! I need cubes for a project and these are amazing. Thank you!!!!
Thank you! This was perfect for me since I already have interfacing.
That's great! Have fun creating :)
This is an awesome option! Thank you for the video.
Glad you liked it!
I'm working on making a crochet rubix cube and this is soooo helpful thank you
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you! I
Do you have a tutorial on how to make such perfect small squares?

Hello my name is JoAnn, I am a new subscriber, nice to meet you.
Hi, happy to have you here :)
But wouldn't the glue wash down in the washing machine?
