This is the best skip stitch videos ever... I’ve watched 7 of them but still didn’t get it until i found this one.. I’m a noob so i found this extremely awesome to learn new stitching skills... 🖤tQ🖤 so muchhhh 😍😍😍😍
What "amuses" me on instructional videos, including excellent ones such as yours, is that finding the stitch into which you want to insert the hook is always CRYSTAL CLEAR - you couldn't miss it if you were blind, but when I follow along with my yarn and hook, it's like my vision has suddenly gone way out of focus. Tell me... where do you buy yarn like the magic yarn you demonstrators use - the kind where the stitches always remain clearly shaped and ready for insertion?
Hi there! I’m not sure where to but the exact kind of yarn that you are asking for, but if you are using thicker yarn, like in the video, the stitches will obviously be bigger and therefore easier to see (but remember to use the correct hook size, too). I also find that cotton yarn, compared to wool and some acrylic yarns, will leave more prevalent stitches, as it is sturdier. If you are crocheting with dark colors that can also make it harder to see your work clearly, so if you’re having a hard time, I would advise you to use pastel colors or similar. Hope this helps!
Rae0521, oh yes, even with this chunky yarn and big stitches, I cannot tell where she is inserting the stitch marker exactly. She explains everything very well but that. She just inserts the marker, like we know exactly where to do. Maybe need her magic yarn and then I cd automatically find the spot too. If you find such yarn for sale let me know.
I'm now on my 4th day working BLO slip stitches using a 5mm hook and #4 Simply Soft Heather yarn. So far I have a piece of fabric that is 2" wide x 12" long (making a neck for a pullover sweater), It LOOKS great - just like knitting - but talk about WORK! No matter how loose I hold the tension, the stitches are tight... and to make matters worse, this yarn SPLITS and FELTS easily. I just wanted to chime in with this bit of "heads up" because while Marly's using a huge hook and bulky yarn to demonstrate, in the "real world" of smaller hook & thinner yarn, it's a lot tougher slog.
I love your videos! They're super easy to follow and top quality. AND thank you for not starting out by showing us how to make a slip knot 🙄 I figure if someone is ready to do a slip stitch ribbing, they've moved out of the beginner phase of crochet and already know how to make a slip knot! It's hard to believe how many tutorials I've watched for advanced stitches/crochet techniques and they actually start off by showing how to make a slip knot for the crochet hook. UGH!
This was a great video tutorial. I've always wondered how to make the piece I was working on appear to have been knitted. Can you make other items using the slip stitch ribbing technique?
Who are you Marly Bird? A crochet angel? 😇 I was sold on ribbing idea but couldn't work it due to my stitches being too tight. I followed your tip to keep the hook parallel tp the chains and Whola!!! 💕🍫
People who learn in a different way have to search for a teacher/method that appeals to them. What is sad is that they use the Do Not Like instead of just leaving and going elsewhere until they find what *they* need. I know - from personal experience.
Excellent! I'm a beginner at crochet and I find your explanations very clear. The focus of the camera is perfect and you're going at the perfect speed. Thank you so much!
Great tutorial but I would like to see a video of after the ribbing is done and how to continue from there. ex. going on to complete a hat, what stitch rows to crochet into, etc.
For a hat, just turn ribbibg to top right hand corner and start making double crochets in each stitch until you get to the end. (Or double your choice of stitch). May only need to do one st. in each, depending how wide you need your project!
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I am an absolute beginner and I have bene trying to understand this technique but none of the other videos were as clear as this, especially that advice on keeping the hook parallel. I am so thankful for this! Amazing!
could I use this technique on a single crochet stitch used in making a messy bun beanie hat? I've made my hat using the single crochet technique and it is entirely too stiff I am going to go up two sizes on my hook but I wondered if I use this technique would it allow for more elasticity?
Oh, my! What a wonderful job explaining how to create this stitch. I have been trying to learn how to do this for a long time. Within a matters of minutes after watching you, I have made the most beautiful ribbing that I have ever made. I am so glad that I found your video. Thank you.
This worked great for me with synthetics and solved some problems for projects. But when I tried it with cotton yarn, it left a gap between rows looking more like a K1 P2 and not as much memory. Still usable but I wanted to let you know. I don't use cotton that much anyway. Haven't tried it on wools yet as am saving them for knitting projects.
Hi and Thanks for this tutorial! I would also suggest to go up 2 needle sizes when crocheting this rib-pattern. That will prevent from getting the tension too tight also. Best regards!
This was a very good explanation an instructional video. But man you talk fast , or maybe I listen slowly. Thank heaven for ability to slow down speed 75% was perfect. Thank you for sharing your talent. 1 question, since this is so stretchy, how do I determine the number of slip stitches to begin. Example if I need ribbing for 20 inches width item. No way 20 inches of ribbing would be needed right?
LOL ... I've spent the last three days searching all around my county and on the internet for an item that I know I already have, but it is napping with the lost socks. It is a 9" circular needle for knitting a ribbed cuff. Frustration. Hard to find at all and the prices they're asking are ridiculous, so I'd resigned myself to try again with the way mother did it with four double ended knitting needles (I don't like knitting but mom was a whizkid with it and did argyle socks for my dad while he served in WWII). He wore some of those until his death in 1999. Standing at my sink I thought to myself (thank you God, by the way) .... hasn't anyone come up with a stitch in crochet that does this? New education and I thank you so much. You saved a lot of time and money .... and I love the stitch and will be working it into my own creations "soonly". Will that little circular needle jump out at me from somewhere tomorrow?
Dumb question.....is there a video somewhere on counting slip stitch ribbing? I have issues remembering and forget to even mark on my paper each row. I use a stich counter as well but sometimes forget to tally a row.
I forgot to skip the first chain of the first row. And I already made 96 stitches. Mist unravel it and do it all over again or it wouldn't make a difference? If I did not skip first chain of first row then would it mean that I shouldn't skip the turning chain and can make stitch in it? 😭
Thankyou for the excelente explanation Mary Bird but can you help me please . I️ really want to use this in a hot but how I️ can joint the two ends is there another helpful video please . Mary Barragan from Deer Park Texas .🙋🏻
Perfect explanation, I am about to start a child's skirt pattern and just couldn't visualise how the waistband was created until I say your video, thank you so much!
Thank you, triple thank you. I have never done this stitch row after row and was working with thread. What a disaster! Decided to utube my dilemma and Voila! you were there with easy solutions and very clear direction. Now I can go forward and will definitely come back to check out your other videos!
Whyyy every time I try this it gets so tight I can’t get my needle into the hole?? I’ve tried changing the hook to a much bigger one but it keeps happening :(
I know it's a late comment, but thank you - putting the stitch marker in the last stitch of each row is genius! I've been accidentally decreasing on my crochet ribbing, and it's such a pain, so, thank you! /runs off to get stitch markers/
thank you for this video- ive been STRUGGLING for a long time trying to understand this stitch and this video gave me the confidence necessary- i understood the process and made my first ribbed beanie (well just the band so far but i know how to make a beanie) THANK YOU A MILLION times over
Thats a nice video Marly. I am a beginner, I have been crocheting small items. I need help. I want to crochet the Child’s Friendship Knot Sweater for my granddaughter. For the front band it says "with RS still facing, work Sl St Kt (see Special Stitches) across; do NOT turn." The special stitch is "Sl St Kt (Slip Stitch Knit)= With RS of work facing, working in opposite work-flow direction, insert hook in back loop of previous row slip st, yo and pull loop through st and loop on hook." Is there a video on this ?
Thanks. But I'm looking for crochet-knit stitches going vertical not horizontal and just working with a simple crochet hook. If you know of any please let me know. Thank you again 🤗
Hi Marly, thank you for your video. I am trying to make a ribbing with bernat velvet yarn. Even with the slip stitch, it doesn't seem to hold any memory. Can you advise me?
Thank you so so much for this video. You don't make me pay for the pattern and your very detailed with your instructions which is the biggest help for me. Also the pace is perfect. Thank you& God bless you! Planning on using this stitch for a waistband for pants. I'm hoping it will work. Thank you again.
Please explain how we join this stitch for a brim of a hat. I have tried so many time to figure out how to make it work, but I get a huge visible seam. There must be a easy way to do this
I'm sure this has been asked.. but is there a tutorial on how to add your finished ribbing to project? Or can it be done at the same time as your going up the side of a finished project
I’m so close to finishing Harry’s cardigan IM SO EXCITED
I'm excited for you OMG!!
I’m doing the same thing! How did it turn out?
@@wynn6240 so well!! i’m finishing the bottom ribbing right now and then i just need the blue button band and i’m done :D
congratulations friend!! Enjoy your cardigan

"Parallel" is such an easy thing that no one else has told me. You have saved me some frogging, that's for sure. My work has been changed. THANK YOU

This would be so great for skirts I feel. Thank you so much for this priceless video

Your tutorials are amazing. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Amsterdam! 🤗
Thank you! Will do!
Who put a "thumbs down"...really...wonder if they've done better...me thinks not...well done my lovely x

Omg, thanks for this, I was doing this stitch wrong the whole time and getting very frustrated and ripping it out! Thanks for explaining it! 😊💜
Yep me too! Just remember to skip the stitch!
Where has this magic been all my life? :)
What about a ribbed top or sweater. Here in Northeastern California can have some frigid winters. They expect this winter to be a whopper!
this is perfect THANK YOU
Oh that’s what I was looking for ribbing and thank you a wonderful tutorial!
could I use this technique on a single crochet stitch used in making a messy bun beanie hat? I've made my hat using the single crochet technique and it is entirely too stiff I am going to go up two sizes on my hook but I wondered if I use this technique would it allow for more elasticity?

Some people will put a thumbs down no matter what ,,,,it could be perfect like this demo and they would still put a thumbs down
i love your tutorials! I love your way to show and explain how to crochet different patterns; you are just amazing!!! ;)
I love this so much, im doing this for headbands
This worked great for me with synthetics and solved some problems for projects. But when I tried it with cotton yarn, it left a gap between rows looking more like a K1 P2 and not as much memory. Still usable but I wanted to let you know. I don't use cotton that much anyway. Haven't tried it on wools yet as am saving them for knitting projects.
Love the video. How do you attach this ribbing to the edge of your hat or garment?
Hi and Thanks for this tutorial! I would also suggest to go up 2 needle sizes when crocheting this rib-pattern. That will prevent from getting the tension too tight also. Best regards!
Great idea!
Struggled a lot with slip stitch ribbing. Thanks for explaining so clearly, "keep it loose" n "parallel" saved me.. 🙏🏼
That is where I go wrong and wondering why. Thank you Marly thank you skipping that first stitch is a game changer
Wonderful clear instruction. I tried another site and was thoroughly confused and never did achieve the desired result. this has made my day!
Thank you!!! I love this! I was having such a tough time before
Jenny Piasecki lp
yup, ribbing is useless if not springy, this looks good!
Hi Marly is there a brim video for the messy bun hat?
Loved this! You make it so easy to follow!!! Thank you!
Will this technique work with any texture or brand of yarn like the super savers?
So,So., VERY HELPFUL TO ME THANKS,ALWAYS FOR I'M BECOMING A BETTER CROCHETER.!!!!!!!!!!

What is best way to count your rows? I’m doing a project with 180 rows and I’m a little confused on how many rows I have. #4 yarn with size F hook.

Thank you for sharing this video and for teaching us how to do this beautiful stitch.
Love this stitch, have been practicing it but have noticed that my edges on both sides do not look very neat, and don’t know why. Any suggestions?
It's tedious but so worth it!
Thank you !!!! Your video was great to practice ribbing on a hat. The pattern instructions fail to mention a chain 1 on the turn.
Thank you so much for this video. I was going to try to knit some ribbing to add to the crochet hat I'm working on. This is so much better.
Thank you, triple thank you. I have never done this stitch row after row and was working with thread. What a disaster!

Great!!
Please Turn UP the volume on your microphone, I can NOT hear you, not even a little bit. Thank You
Whyyy every time I try this it gets so tight I can’t get my needle into the hole?? I’ve tried changing the hook to a much bigger one but it keeps happening :(
Beautiful stitch I am practicing it because mine is always tight .the parallel method and stitch markers help me
If you’re wear headphones, make sure you have both in. Lol

+Sanstitchuk15 great. That was my goal
Thanks so sooo much, this was really helpful, God bless you
Thank you for sharing this information it helped me!
Does the hook used for the garment should be the same for the ribbing?
Thats a nice video Marly. I am a beginner, I have been crocheting small items. I need help. I want to crochet the Child’s Friendship Knot Sweater for my granddaughter.

Thank You , it worked fin on granddaughters hat.
Can this stitch be used to make a whole blanket with only this stitch?
Hi Marly, thank you for your video. I am trying to make a ribbing with bernat velvet yarn. Even with the slip stitch, it doesn't seem to hold any memory. Can you advise me?
The velvet yarn has almost no memory and you won’t get a strong ribbing. It’s very hard to work with imho.
Thank you for this wonderful super-clear video - by far the best I have seen on this subject! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Do you always skip the stitch with the turning chain
Thank you so much for this clear and easy to follow tutorial. All the best💜
You’re welcome 😊

Can this be done left handed?. My crochet is backwards but usually works but after the first row I was working on the back of the chain.
Yes

I need my tops to not be so stretched out 😰
How would you connect the ribbing for a cuff? For example, the cuffs of mittens or fingerless mitts?
hi marly I bought 4 balls chunky yarn today and I don't know what to make with it. Do you have any suggestions
Traducción inglés-español porfavor gracias, hermosos trabajos
I'm sure this has been asked.. but is there a tutorial on how to add your finished ribbing to project? Or can it be done at the same time as your going up the side of a finished project
Im not sure I understand... isnt this just a single crochet stitch???
Is it hood for golf head cover ribbing
Hi i am crocheting long sleeves in ribbing from just past elbow to wrist, but not going well. any suggestions?
Keep track of the last/first stitch of the rows and keep consistent stitches.
hello. what stitch did you use for body of the dark blue hat in the middle, at tne beginning of your video?
Is it possible to do a whole hat like this please?
