    I want to give you a shout out. For 5 years once a month for treatment in the hospital. My crochet went with me. But Chrystal it was all your patterns. For how ever many people complain how many of us you give new life to crocheting again. Until you came in my life granny squares was all I made.

    I gave up on fair isle yarn years ago, when I realized it was never going to look like the picture, when crocheting. I have no knitting knowledge at all! 😂 thanks, Crystal it looks lovely knit up. 🧶💚

  • @Jaydaydesign
    @Jaydaydesign Рік тому +36

    Use the “sc1, ch1” moss stitch for crochet. Use a slightly smaller hook that makes a tighter fabric. It creates a slightly different but very satisfactory fair isle effect like pooling does without all the hassle.

    • @tmtb80
      @tmtb80 Рік тому +2

      Yes! A knit stitch. It's flat and does make a pattern

    • @cherb_soco1891

      Do you think just using all slip stitch would work? It looks like knitted fabric when I've done hats with it.

    • @tmtb80
      @tmtb80 Рік тому +2

      @@cherb_soco1891 I have never made anything using all slip stitch. Interesting. Seems like it would use a huge amount of yarn and take forever. I think it would be worth trying though. Maybe a scarf or a cowl.

    I am usually a silent watcher, but I watched your Lion Brand Haul from yesterday and ran to the website and picked up 5 balls of the fair isle, the new baby soft, and some Jiffy for my mother. I am planning on knitting a hat and scarf set for my kiddos. I wonder if the fair isle would work with Bosnian crochet. I am going to try it

    Wow! For someone who doesn't know how to knit, they look great. I don't have a knitting machine, and would be clueless how to do fair isle pattern. I can do Fishermans sweaters which I did in the 80's, but not anymore. I'm sure Crystal you could easily learn how to knit with needles, as your skill with a crochet hook is amazing.

    Thank you Crytal, for all your generosity, due to the time you give tutorials - I knit very well, and I can Crochet, sadly that only started and stopped at the Vintage stitch.
    So I really want to learn all the new patterns to give my work a fresh look.
    If people don't thank you for your time, and generosity then that's just disappointing.
    You’re the only one that does tutorials with three or four rows - not a few stitches and turning the camera off and people like myself are left guessing.
    Thank you again. Tracey Australia. ❤❤❤❤
    Also, you and your husband are just too dam cute.
    Stay healthy - sending you lots of love and light...
