    I’ve avoided the Harlequin & the Catherine Wheel stitches because I thought they looked too complicated. However, after watching this careful tutorial, I’m ready to give this one a go! Thank you Crystal!

    Using this to make a throw for my best friend. 🥰 Her living room cat-magnet throw is made with the cheapest, scratchiest acrylic, plus it’s starting to unravel. Can’t wait to replace it for her with something soft and beautiful! 🥰

    This is a beautiful stitch. You always do a great job showing us the exact space where to put the stitch and you take your time showing us. I have watched a few others and if you didn't know how to crochet, you'd be lost. You are a great teacher! I have suggested your channel to many people out here for many of your tutorials 😊 I have also suggested your channel to ladies in the craft stores.😊
    I'm going to make this just have to choose colors from my stash. Thank you again for everything you do for us!🤗 love you 🥰
    Wishing you a beautiful blessed day and many blessings to you and your family 🙏🏻🤗💖💐

    I have been practicing this stitch and Catherine's Wheel stitch from many different tutorials. I've settled on the Harlequin stitch. I'm a beginner, but I feel as if I've got this figured out. What I love about your tutorial is that you work a foundation row in the chain, which I feel stabilizes the first row of the repeat pattern, and makes it easier for a beginner to count the stitches. 3 colors of yarn chosen, wish me luck, cuz here we go. Thanks so much.

    I must say how much I APPRECIATE how you give details on the yarn needed for each of the projects; and your recommendations of the best weights for project . So many sights do not give how much to purchase to make the project which is very frustrating. Thank you -- I can tell you are a very kind person. God Bless

    I always thought this would be a difficult stitch. Not with Crystal as a teacher! I am using scrap yarn and I am absolutely loving this stitch pattern! Thank you Crystal for a great tutorial! I just finished this blanket and loved making it-my last row of the border I did the twisted single crochet stitch instead of the reverse crab stitch. Another blanket for my donation pile!

In a town nearby (43 miles west of my home) we have all the IMPORTANT stores in a triangle. My husband called it the "Bermuda Triangle" LOL you know Joann's , Michaels, Hobby Lobby (and a grocery store) all within a 1 mile radius LOL I will have to find what yarn I want to use for this... LOL LOL I hope your friend will make this into a pattern. I need to purchase more of your patterns.... this way I can carry it with me wherever I go while working on this.. Wow Crystal this is so beautiful.. I want to make it now lol lol I'm in love !!! I heard of this stitch before but was always too intimidated to try it. You make it so understandable in this video ... I know I can do this now..... Ty Ty Ty Ty did I say Thank you??

    I just finished my first harlequin afghan and love this stitch. I've never attempted anything like this before but your tutorial made it easy. A few days ago when Mary Maxim had their kits on sale I saw one for the Catherine Wheel and the colors are exactly what I wanted. Furthermore, buying the kit at the sale price was cheaper than buying just the yarn. So, I got the kit. I figured I already knew the harlequin so I'd do that. As far as I can tell the only difference I see is the chain on the dctg stitches is 6 instead of 7! I didn't spend a lot of time on it but I'm pretty sure it's almost exactly the same. Anyway, mine will 😮❤be a harlequin.

  • @ChristinesCraftTable

    Thank you for another great tutorial! I just finished this throw using Caron Cotton Painterly Cakes (4wt) with a 6.5mm hook. Pictures posted on your Facebook page. I didn't color control on the stripes and would definitely do that in the future. I love the pretty pattern and the reverse sc border looks very cool. I don't know if it's because I used a bigger hook, but I found I needed to put a stitch marker at the beginning stitch on every row, to know where my last stitch needed to be. I also LOVED not having to count stitches every couple rows to make sure I stayed on track! Thanks again!!!
