Hi friends! I hope you enjoy this video. This stitch is a popular one and can be worked in many ways but my favorite is in the round. In this video I share solutions to 2 common issues that you'll encounter with this stitch that will improve the look dramatically. Let me know if you have used this stitch before! xx
I crochet blankets for my local hospital. I've never heard of a mental health blanket. Would you mind sharing what a mental blanket is please.
@@minhchu9980 if she doesn’t elaborate, it’s very similar to a temperature blanket . Instead of recording daily temperatures, your do a row or round to reflect the mood you’re feeling for that day (or however you decide to log in for the year. )
I’m doing something similar called a mood blanket.
I create a square daily as well as log the day into a journal to help reflect even further.
Here’s a link to the video I made in January:

I Love these Granny Squares and that sure is some Beautiful Yarn!❤❤❤
@@reneejohnson4361 thank you ! It’s a fun yarn for sure 💕🧶
Love this stitch! Simple and so pretty!
This is one of the BEST INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS I’ve ever watched… and I’ve watched hundreds! Clear, concise, some really great tips to avoid common issues AND why they work. JOB WELL DONE! (And a s an educator I don’t give that praise Willy nilly!)
PS your two cats look exactly like my brother/sister cats!!!
Thank you so much , that means a lot to me, most sincerely 😀🧶❤️
I watched 4 videos on moss stitch granny squares and had absolutely no luck trying over and over … until I found this video!!!! You are amazing!!!!! Thank you so much!
I’m so glad it helped! 😀👏🏻👏🏻💕
Thank you thank you! I have watched 8 videos from others, and even though this stitch is not hard, each vid was slightly different and I got confused.
Your video is so calm and plainly explained, that im now ready to start something
I’m so glad , thank you for letting me know 😀🧶👏🏻
Hi roz! I’m the one who asked for this tutorial and i’m so glad i did!!! This was Exactly what i needed and i knew you’d create an amazing video. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!You’re the Best!!!xoxo Linda
Oh , good , I’m SO glad you found it useful! Yay , I was hoping you’d see it and I’m most glad it answered your question 😀👏🏻💕💕💕
I made a mental health blanket with this stitch last year, and I fastened off and joined new yarn at the end of every round, even if I was going to the same color next, just to avoid a seam. I was buried in ends after, but I accepted my fate hahaha. but I've been wanting to make a continuous round for a blanket with this stitch, and this is just the video I needed to help me feel confident about it!
The ends can be a beast. The smart thing is to carry the yarn to eliminate weaving in but do I ever do it? NO 😂
🙄
Glad the video was inspiring 😀🧶💕
What is a mental health blanket? Is that like a temperature blanket?
What is a mental health blanket? Never heard of it. From São Paulo Brazil
I made a moss stitch sweater over the summer, and I wish I'd known these tips back then. My square skewed and I wound up using it diagonally which made the whole construction so much more complicated. A simple t-shirt turned into a 3-month project. This video is a keeper!!❤
Ah, what a shame after all that hard work. I’m glad you found the video useful, though 🧶💕💕
Thank u !!!! I needed this tutorial for my tempature blanket, I'm about to start !! I hated how the squares always ended up crooked, and u mastered it !!!!! ❤
So glad you found it useful, thank you ! 🧶💕
I had fallen in love with the moss stitch for dishcloths a few months ago, rows of it back and forth. This is a wonderful twist on that and it was wonderful to work up--thank you. Then I had the idea to not turn at the end of each round and just went round and round and it also looks great for a dishcloth! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love this stitch. It’s the only one that allows me to figure how to keep straight edges. Which have been impossible until now. Thanks.
This is fantastic, I so love the moss stitch and was looking for something simple but difficult looking pattern and found this along with an easy way to get around the corners neatly. Thank you!
Yay 👏🏻💕
I love this stitch
Your tips & solutions are the best. Thank you so much. 💖💐
Wonderful tutorial…clear, concise instructions, and your voice is very easy to listen to. Thank you for this great video!
Thank you so much, Cynthia 💕
I really needed this!!! I’ve been postponing a blanket for moons until I could find a solution - so thank you so very much 😊
So glad! 💕
Thank you for your video, really didn’t know what i was doing wrong to make my previous moss stitch blankets in the round all wonky. You explained very well. I'm already trying your technic out. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, it really helped.
I’m so glad it helped, that makes me very happy 😀👏🏻💕
Good morning!
When I grow up I want to crochet just like you!!! 😁❤
Thank you so much for another Wesome tutorial. I'm 65 and thought I had learned a lot crocheting but I know nothing. LOVE your channel and your tips and tutorials are life savers. Thank you so much. Have a very blessed day!😊❤
So kind of you, Linda, thank you so much 😀🤗💕
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I’ve lost count of the number of tutorials I’ve watched and the number of times I’ve frogged my work then I come across your tutorial and everything just fell into place, thank you so very much 😊😊
I’m so glad it made sense and was understandable, thank you ! 🧶💕
i hope one day i can do this until then i keep learning you are a very good teacher one day i will make that blanket
Yes , you will ! 💕
Amazing. Thank you. I had been struggling until now.
I’m so glad it helped 😀💕
I love the moss stitch. I look forward to using it this way.
Your instructions are great: clear, concise and calm. Thank you for sharing!🇸🇪
Thank you so much! 😀🧶💕
I am surprised at how quickly I understand your explanations. Keep up the good work. I just started a double bed cover and I am delighted to see that the result is splendid thanks to you. . Sorry if I make mistakes cause I am French. Friendly yours Jean Claude
Merci beaucoup! I’m so happy it is making sense 😀👏🏻 ❤️ 🇫🇷 ❤️
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.
At last a video I understand!!! Thank you so much🎉🎉🎉
So glad 😀💕
Love the moss stitch 😍 it makes a blanket have a wonderful texture 🥰 I also use the hdc for corners to keep things even 🥰 Thanks for the excellent video 🥰
Thank you, Maxine! 💓
Thank you. Your teaching this was great.
That was loaded with super helpful tips. Cheers. Love your stitch work. Thoroughly enjoy your crochet clips. Thankyou.✌🏻🩷🌷🌿
Thank you so much 👏🏻👏🏻💕🤗
I found your Retro Daisy a couple of months ago after trying many other patterns. Your way of teaching and demonstrating fits me perfectly. So when I wanted to make a square using the Linen Stitch I was thrilled to bits to find your video on the matter. You make it so easy and explain why you do each step the way you do. Most of us learn the “how” but we need the “why” to understand and remember. Thank you so much 🇦🇺🧶🍷
That makes me so happy, thank you for telling me 💕💕💕
wonderful instruction. thank you!
Love all your tutorials. I learn so much. Thank you
Thank you, Brenda 💕
Very pretty, thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you ! 💕
Thankyou so much! I love watching your videos - you make my new craft so much easier!
I'm so glad! 🤩💕
You are such an amazing teacher thank you for this!❤
I’m so glad you found it useful , thank you 😀💕
Great tips, I hate the jagged line thank you! Yippee!🥳
Very helpful! Thank you so much!!!
I just found your channel!! Love your work and instruction. Quick, clear and concise. I learned a lot. Look forward to working up some of your projects. Keep the awesome tips coming. Thank you THANK YOU! ❤
Thank you so much and glad to have you here ! 💕
Great tips! Thank you!
Once again this fiber artist shines!!! I love the clear instruction and the way the problems are pointed out prior to actually making the square. Love it so much ♥️
You spoil me, Jean , but it sure does make me happy to read, thank you so much ❤️
Thank you so much for filling in the gaps. I love how you teach. You made it easy to find confidence.
Thank you , Cherrie, I’m so glad ❤️
Thank you for this tutorial. It is excellent. Your technique is brilliant, as is your presentation. I'm off to the races with a baby blanket, and it is looking so pretty with a pastel, variegated cotton yarn. ❤
Glad it was helpful! Sounds like beautiful yarn!
I just want you to know how helpful all of your tutorials have been for me! You are thorough, concise, and have really clear visuals for someone who is new to crochet (oddly I think I've picked it up quickly). To second many other comments, I have watched numerous moss stitch tutorials and could not understand the placement into the ch 1 space or why it kept going wonky. I also love the HDC join! This makes such a LOVELY corner. Thank you for enriching us with your tips and tricks!
Ohhh, I’m so glad. Thank you for telling me, you’ve made my night ! 💕
Absolutely a great tutorial with wonderful instructions, thank you
Thank you so much 😀👏🏻❤️
I really like ending in the corners and the half double crochet in the corner. I also really like no chain at the beginning of round after turning. Makes a very nice square square. Thank you.
Always love your videos! Problem solved! 😂 Thanks for your expertise and attention to detail! 😊
Thank you so much 😀💕
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I love moss stitch and use it for borders mostly, but now I'm thinking I'd like to make a blanket in the round. Your tips are priceless!
Thank you ! 😀🤗💕
I like your explainations, it makes for a pleasing project and easier for me.
Wonderful! Thank you 💕
Beautiful
Excellent tutorial, thank you.
💕So glad you found it useful
The Best tutorial showing how to made The moss stich square. Thx!
Thank you so much, I’m glad you found it useful😀 🧶💕
THE MOSS STITCH IS BEAUTIFUL & EASY. ALSO GREAT FOR BLANKETS & COASTERS. THAKS & HAPPY CROCHETING. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! 😊 🧶
The moss stitch has become one of my favorite stitches in general. Thank you for giving a clear tutorial on using it in making squares. I truly appreciate your tips for making a beautiful square and especially for giving the rationale for the technique you used.
Thank you ! 😀🧶❤️
Beautiful video! So helpful!
Thank you ! 👏🏻💕
This is the very best explanation I've seen on UA-cam. With the camera from behind het shoulder ❤
I’m so glad 😀💕👏🏻
Comme toujours! Très bien expliqué, très accessible, grand soin de son interlocuteur! Bravo et merci, j'aime beaucoup vos vidéos et j'apprends beaucoup de vous.
Thank you so much, Alena , your words are appreciated 💕💕💕💕
Thank you for another great video!!
Thanks for watching! 🧶❤️
Great Job well explained

Thanks for the hdc tip at the end of the round. I don’t usually turn my granny squares. Will definitely try this - thanks!! Love your channel ❤
I hope it works well for you ❤️
Thanks for the great tips. I appreciate it. 😊
Glad it was helpful! 👏🏻💕
Thanks! Will wait patiently for “scrap cake” technique
Awe , thank you so much , Sandy. ❤️Please let me know what you’re specifically wanting to know about it? Is it just the general steps or how to tie the yarn together? I want to make sure I cover what you’re interested in knowing.

Wonderful! I love the square corners. I have had so much trouble trying to crochet true squares, and have experimented with various techniques. This looks like just the ticket. Excellent instructions. Like others, I appreciate your reminders and tips to avoid problems before they happen!
Thank you so much 😀🧶💕
Love this!! Thank you ☺️🧶
Thank you! 😊🧶💕
Thank you for a very easy tutorial follow, I am making a blanket with squares made of my leftovers from other projects and this is a great square to show off some pretty yarn and also works for simple/plain yarn.
That will be so beautiful 😍
Love Moss Stitch and love those stitch markers you use. They are truly one-handed.
I love them - they don’t suit all projects but things like this they stay in place w really well 🧶👍🏻💕
Yes, I’ve never seen stitch markers like this. Can you give a brand name?
Thank you so much for your tutorial- your tips for keeping the work square are very helpful !!! I am making an historic temperature blanket, and these squares work up so quickly and easily. I am doing a square for each month and then will join them together. I can hardly wait to see the finished project :-)
Sounds great! It’s going to be amazing 🤩😍
Thank you so much for this clear and precise tutorial,,, for years I have struggled to get my Moss stitch square PERFECTLY square,,,, frustrated doesn’t cover it , ,, I’ve finally managed it thanks to your tutorial !!!!! 👏👏👏☺️☺️☺️
Oh that’s awesome news ! So happy to read this 😀🧶💕
Thanks for the tutorial, especially the tip about the hdc! I have tons of yarn I spun that I don’t really know what to do with so this looks perfect for that. :)
Ohh, it sounds perfect for this 👏🏻💕
Definity wanderful work ❤😮😊
Thanks for that extremely helpful video. I use the moss stitch in the round and have never known what to do to correct the problems you pointed out. I will use your suggestions from now on. Thanks again!
So glad it helped 👏🏻❤️
@@PlayHookywithMe ❤
I'll wait patiently ... 😊
Thank you so much for your video. It is super 😀
Thank you so much 😀🧶💕
Muito bonito esse Square,obrigada por compartilhar❤
Thank you so much 🧶❤️😀
Hello Roz I'm catching up before I get to today's video and as always there's something to learn each time . I always use markers whenever a pattern calls for it , because the project turns out project . Lovely to see biscuit and his brother whose name I can't remember having a ball . Enjoy your day .
Opps . Properly
Hi Angela! Biscuit's brother is Loki. I thought he was going to be a mischief maker but he took on a different form of the word , "low-key". 😆
Have a great week and thank you for watching xx
I have never done this stitch before. It's pretty.
I hope you give it a try 👏🏻💕
thank you that was very helpful ❤😊
I'm so glad! 😀🧶
Thanks
Thank you so much 💕💕💕
Oh! This is perfect! My Son bought some glow in the dark cotton yarn and I've used this video to make a pillow to go with my retro flower blanket (your tutorial)! I'm going to try to make a large retro flower to attach to the pillow! I've never designed anything. I'm sure I'll rip out a thousand miles 😂😂.
Oooh, Dinah, that sounds amazing ! Good luck and yes, embrace the ripping out , it will come together. 🤩
Make lots of notes for yourself . It helps me a lot because I find I tend to make the same mistake over and over again thinking ive tried something different and haven’t.
Then if I do something that worked, I completely forget how I did it ! 😂😂
This is my go to..I use a hdc to join the corner and turn each round..excited to see your tips! The hdc join/turn method has never resulted in anything other than a seamless, perfect, square! ❤
In place of the hdc join, you can also chain 1 and use a single crochet to join, then turn. ❤
Awesome ! Thank you for confirming that the hdc makes a difference. It’s so hard to really catch the difference on camera . And love the ch1, sc option. Excellent !!💕
@@PlayHookywithMe I was excited to see you use the same method! The reason I mentioned the ch 1, sc is because some yarn puffs out a bit more with the hdc join. It’s the perfectionist in some of us that make the best discoveries! And the work looked great on camera, I promise.
I really like this moss stitch. I have a lot of small leftover yarn. I can see how this might be a good way to put them to good use.
Thank you ! 🧶💕
Perfect technique and easy instructions! Still looking for your “magic ball” instruction video.
Gulp - I have it on my list, Sandy! I haven’t forgotten 💕
Love the corner trick! It's perfect. Thank you so much.
Do you have a video for doing this as a rectangle?
Not yet , but it’s on my list 💕
Love it
Thank you ! 💕
Eu ainda não usei esse ponto❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this tutorial and the helpful tips. I feel confident now to try a pot holder to start!
You can do it! It will be so cute! 👏🏻💕
lovely!
Thank you 💕
This is so different. It is so impressive that you can figure out how to change it up to make everything work out. Do you see it in your head or do you play around with it? As always, love your work. 🌍☮️🌲
Thank you, Jennie! It’s a lot of things but mainly it’s a case of starting something , discovering the issue and then trying to find the solution by researching several versions of a pattern. Plus, over the years these little tips crossover and work for a lot of different patterns so it has just accumulated.
For example, I learned something new with this video from a comment! Another option like the hdc in the corner is to do a ch1 and sc to finish the round. Very cool ! Same concept but might give a closer look to the chains in the corner. 👏🏻👏🏻
So that’s to say, I learn a lot of these gems from you all too.
This is my favorite thing to do, I think … find solutions to common crochet problems … but I usually come across them by accident. But when I do, I can’t wait to share with you guys! 😆😆😆💕
I am so thankful for that. I can really tell you love to crochet. I do too but, you really shine. I love your channel and all you teach.🍁
Thank you. That visible seam in the traditional approach to crocheting this square is annoying. Hiding the 1/2 double crochet, slip stitch in the corner, in my opinion, is priceless.
So glad you found that useful, thank you ! 🧶
Really wish i saw this first instead of third one about the moss square. Definitely going to do this one instead 😊
👏🏻🧶💕
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It's the best I've ever seen on this stitch in a granny square! Do you have a written pattern available for this?
No, sorry 💕💕
I I love your tutorial. Makes it so easy to understand. I would like to alternate two colors every row. Is it possible to carry the yarn or would you have to cut it every time?
Oooh, not sure on that one. I haven’t tried and can’t quite remember the organization of it. You’ll have to give it a try for us and let us know. 💕👏🏻
Hi I'm new to your videos and I am so grateful to have found them. I decided to restart crocheting after many years of not making anything. I am so excited to see all of the neat things that can be created using crochet. My biggest question is there a video that I can watch that would help me restart, that you have filmed? I love your explanations, your voice, the way that you go over the process more than once and you are easy to follow. Anyway, I would love to know an easy pattern to use so I can create my first blanket/afghan. I picked out a kit from a company on FB, and I am thinking that it might be a little to advanced. Also, how to I pick out yarn that is quality yarn and how do I find it? I'm sorry for the questions, I am truly excited to start learning and making. If you are able to answer my questions or if anyone would be willing to do so, I would be extremely grateful. In the meantime, I will be benge watching your videos. I really like the look of the square crochet. I hope it turns into a blanket. Sorry to sound like a need, just super excited. Thank you for your videos, all my love amy.
What a lovely message, thank you , and I’m so glad you are finding use out of the channel. 😀💕I would recommend that you look through my “playlists” to see if there’s a section of videos that would appeal to you. I create a lot of tip videos and plan on making more as time allows.
🤔hmm … I’m having a hard time thinking off the top of my head what would be a good video to suggest since I’m not sure what you’ve watched already so I would start there.
It means a lot to me that I get to be a part of your return to crocheting 😀👏🏻👏🏻💕
Pena que esse vídeo não está disponível para salvar na minha lista do youtube, amei o trabalho.
That’s strange. 🤔You should be able to .
Hi! This was very helpful, thank you 🙏 the moss stitch has always eluded me for some reason...I've been trying to get it right for a year. Such a simple stitch too lol
I wonder though, could the herringbone stitch work in the round like this?
Yes, you can do the herringbone in this way as well. The turning after each round is essential for that one. I’ll add it to the list for a tutorial. Great idea, thanks! 🤗💕
@PlayHookywithMe That'd be awesome, thank you so much 🙏😊
❤
Thank you for the tutorial. can you provide a link to the specific
Stitch marker that you used?
Link In the description 👍🏻👏🏻💕 Crochet dude stitch markers
. Thank you.
I finished the ripple stitch you taught and actually made a “water “ blanket for my son with an enclosed border and I have to say I’m actually super proud of it! Thank you for always being so kind and helpful.
I wanted to ask you, I love this stitch, I wanted to know, what do you think if I were to make a bunch of smaller squares, then attached them together, sorta like your mood blanket but with this beautiful moss stitch. Bigger squares, maybe 6inches or so.
I just love this stitch but find the ease of just making a square easier for me mentally and physically.
❤❤❤ any advice would be appreciated please and thank you
I’m a big fan of squares too, so I think that’s a great idea. It will be absolutely beautiful with multiple squares 🤩 go for it ! 😀💕🧶
@@PlayHookywithMe thank you so much for responding so fast and so kindly.
I feel I mentally need this project right now.
I wish I could send you a picture of the ripple blanket, it’s because of you I was able to make it (I have no social media platforms)
Your kindness and patience is so appreciated. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
@@masuganut2082 I'd love to see it - you can email it to me at rozfulcher@gmail.com
@@PlayHookywithMeyay! I’ll get it off my son’s bed and send you a picture! It’s actually pretty huge and heavy lol. ❤
Amazing tutorial! Just wondering something, I want to create a granny square blanket but I'm not sure which hook size to use. What size of crochet hooks do you usually use?
It depends on the yarn you decide to use. Look on the label and it will give you a recommendation for what works well with that yarn.
I usually work with yarn that requires a 4-5 mm hook. Both are pretty common for granny squares .
Hope that helps 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe Thanks :D
Is this possible to do in a rectangle like your other crochet to infinity patterns? I feel that it could easier be done by adding two longer sides in the first round? Right.

So I could use this pattern to make a blanket? Would I just keep going till my blanket is as big as I want? I will just be using a variegated yarn.
That’s right . It will make a square blanket 👍🏻💕
What did you do with the squares, did you join them or were they coasters?
These were samples just to show you the pattern. I’m not using them for anything but a coaster is a great idea as well as joining several together. 💕
Would you use this as a border for a moss stitch blanket done in rows?
That’s always an option - it would look interesting 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe Thanks for your response!
