Thank you for the new border ideas! Just finished a set of wash clothes for my daughters new apartment and thought they couod use a border! Now I can do 2 different borders yay!
I really like this stitch, in France we call it the Suzette stitch. I'm going to use a white cotton that can be washed at 90°C. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Have a nice day!
@@JewelsandJones In American English it is pronounced pi·kuht, in British English it is pronounced pee·kow (as in low) And in French it is pronounced pi•kow (pi as in pig and kow as in low). As an American, your pronunciation of pi·kuht was correct.
The pattern is very effective with edges as well, show many chains would be required to crochet a blanket? say about 1 meter wide x 1.50 meters in length?
Hi there, I personally haven't made a blanket with this stitch yet, so I'm not sure on the measurements. But I would recommend making a quick gauge swatch of the stitch and then this way you can easily figure out the measurements.
Been crocheting for almost a year and a half and have learned both single and double, apparently I've been taught all wrong and just discovered this... any tips on vids that show these much slower? And maybe a little closer so I can see better? Looks beautiful! Also, I've been told I do it backwards, but I push thru the same way you do so now my brain is all confused... but she explained it's why my stitches always look different from hers
Oh no! I'm glad you figured it out though. 😊 I don't know of any videos that make it slower, but you can make the video go a bit slower on any tutorial. There is button on the bottom of the videos that you can click to select the speed of the video. I think that might really help!
Thank you! No, you're definitely not doing anything wrong. This just happens sometimes in crochet. I've seen people work the foundation chain differently to prevent this from happening. So you can flip the foundation chain and work in the back bumps or you can make a single crochet foundation chain. I've tried the first method before and it does help in removing those gaps when making your initial row.
Thanks for another easy to follow tutorial!! How do you keep the rows so even? I started and even after 2 rows it's more like a trapezoid shape - the 2nd and subsequent rows are wider than that first chain stitch row. :(
Thank you so much! How is your tension when you crochet? If you crochet a bit tighter, your stitches might budge a little bit. I would maybe try going up a hook size and seeing if that will help loosen up those stitches. I'm naturally a very loose crocheter, so I think that helps when making my stitches. So I would try going up a hook size, I think your rows will come out a bit more even. 😊
Hi there, are you adding a chain 1 at the end? Sometimes this can cause an uneven edge. Also, what is your tension like? I find that when I crochet tightly my edges always come out a bit uneven. If your tension is a bit tighter, I would try going up a hook size. That should help smoothen out those edges.
This is so beautiful I made this but when I wet it and use the washcloth stretch and it is regtangular in stead of a square. Anyone some advice please?
Hi there, so your washcloth will definitely stretch a bit when it's wet and you're using it. You could always block it to it's original shape and let it dry. It's just something that naturally happens when your washcloth is wet. 😊
Thank you for the video. Your work is beautiful. However, the second border is a picot stitch, pronounced “ pee-koh”. It is not a peacock stitch. That is something entirely different.
I too LOVE this stitch!!! And soooo easy!
Yes, me too! It's one of my favorites. 😊
Awesome tutorial!
Thank you! 😊

You're welcome! I'm so glad you like the borders. They really add the perfect finishing touch to a crochet project. 😊
Love this, and I will be making this. TFS! New subbie from Northern Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦.
Thank you so much for subscribing! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial. 😊
I love this that was so easy 😊thank you 😊😊
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for this lovely pattern! Your work is beautiful. This pattern could also be used to make a hand towel for a powder room (small bathroom).
Thank you so much! Yes, you could increase the foundation row and make a cute hand towel. 😊

Thank you so much! That's great to know. 😊 I love making the suzette stitch, it's so pretty. I hope you enjoy making the washcloth.
oh yes! Thank you so much! 🥰🙂@@JewelsandJones
I made mine, I love it. So easy, thank you
You’re welcome 😊
I love this washcloth stitch. Also FYI, the "picot stitch" is pronounced pea-ko. It's French.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy making it. That's so cool, I had no idea. Thank you for letting me know. 😊✨
Yes…you are correct! Pronounced “ pee-koh”.
And in the time stamps it says "peacock" stitch. 🙃 Either way, it's very pretty!
Thank you!

What colors are you going to choose for your crochet washcloth? 🧶😊

HookedbyRobin on UA-cam has great videos on how to do single and double crochet. Her videos are how I learnt to crochet :)
Lovee this washcloth!! Mine always has these big holes above the initial chain though, am I doing something wrong??

You should show how you do the border corners
Hi there, I have separate video tutorials for the borders used in the pattern. 😊
in the borders it is essential to explain and show what you do in the corners..
Hi there, on my website you can find step-by-step photo tutorial on how to work a border around your projects.
I like this stitch, thanks, but my edges aren't straight. Am I missing a stitch at the end?
Hi there, are you adding a chain 1 at the end? Sometimes this can cause an uneven edge. Also, what is your tension like? I find that when I crochet tightly my edges always come out a bit uneven.

@@JewelsandJones Hello! Yes, I think my tension is a bit tight, will go up a hook size. Thanks!
This is so beautiful

Thank you so much! Yeah, another reader told me as well. 😊 There's just so many different stitch names.
