Thank you for taking the time to "decode" the instructions for us. That 3rd one always gets me! lol I know it's saying the samething, but it would be so much easier, especially for me, if they just wrote it even simpler. For example, repeat--6sc, 1 increase all the way around & u'll end up with X number of stitches. Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to get use to another type of "language". 😉
Thank you for giving me hope!!! I was so lost, but your tutorial is wonderful. I'm going to watch all of your helpful videos.
Here is a hello and a big thank you from a fellow North Carolinan. This has been so helpful in learning to read all patterns.
The second way just wants to make our lives harder... I started practicing using a pattern like that and after 3 faults I am still trying to understand what I am doing wrong:)
Edit: I finally made sense! Thank you for your tutorial video, it was the most helpful I've found.
Thank you. ❤
Very very helpful thanks
very helpful thanks
How can you tell that it different stitches in that sequence
Hi great video thank you. Just one question. After finishing the brackets sequence then I’ll see like 2sc, so that means after the sequence just do 2sc? Thank you.
Do sc 2 in the next stitch mean the whole of the next role or just a stitch? Thanks for the video
Does you chain 2 after you do the magic circle to begin the 6 single crochet in the magic circle?
Pattern reads : WH SCx 20,(V, SC ) x5 V BR SC x21, WH SC x2 (60). Reads using white, single crochet 20 stiches, increasing single crochet by 5 ? [V in the symbols is increase] can you help me with this?
So for R2 does it mean that you do 1 single crochet and then an increase and that's the pattern for that round?
I’m interested in joining your Pinterest but I can’t find it. What would I search for? Thank you!
Beginner and started a cow pattern.. pattern reads 3 round: ((1 sc, inc)* 3 times, 12 sc) * 2 times = 42 Can you please explain this. Many thanks
I needed the visual for (1sc,inc) *6 (18) and you just skipped it. And unfortunately you camera angle is off 😞
what is the name on ur pinterest page i cant find it
What does “work even” mean?
How do I find your group
on the decrease, are you only doing the front of the stitch not the whole stitch (front and back?)
Yup! The front loop of the two stitches. You just pick it up with your hook making sure you’re only going through the front one.
Hi!! I came across a pattern that instructs: DO 20 RUN
I’m completely baffled DO help !
Hmmm. Was this pattern translated from another language? Sometimes translated patterns don’t make a lot of sense, unfortunately :(. I wish I could help but it baffles me too!
What is your pinterest group name?
what is the name of the Pinterest group?
What’s the name of your group Pinterest page. Thank you for this video. It really helped.
I'm also interested 😊
It sounds like a wonderful Pinterest group!
Or page?
Here’s the link to the groups Pinterest page :) pin.it/7pggLLX
is there a way i can contact you i need help ❤️
What can I help you with??
thank you for replying i needed help i am still confused on what “*” means and in one row it says “*Sc 1, 2 sc in next st, * 6 times. (18 sts)” i do not understand the “sc 1, 2 sc...6 times”
@@susiedonjuan so the "*" symbol just means that you're doing those instructions within those symbols for a specific amount of times. Sometimes you'll see parenthesis ( ) used instead of the * symbol. You'll also see in the pattern that it says something like "repeat after * 3 times" or it could be 6 times, any amount of repeats that are required in order to do the pattern correctly.
So for the *Sc 1, 2sc in next* 6 times, you will do this: one single crochet in next stitch THEN two single crochets into the next stitch (meaning, you are literally putting two stitches into one hole because that is called an "increase").
It's a total of THREE single crochets going into TWO holes (single crochets from previous round). And then 6 times means that you will repeat that step of one sc and then increase (2sc) SIX times in order to complete the round correctly.
If you check out my other videos on my channel, I do a lot of step by step tutorials and I don't go too fast on them. I slow it down so you can see where the hook is going and how to yarn over, hold the yarn, etc.
I hope that helped!! Let me know if I made it more confusing lol.
@@magdalenamathilda5476 omg thank you!! this helped so much i understand more now ❤️❤️
I'm sure this is a very good tutorial...
But I can't finish watching it because I got very nauseous from the motion sickness caused by the rocking picture
I don't know if you have an unstable table... or you just somehow let the camera moving almost constantly...
Just letting you know... maybe there are people who started watching but didn't finish like me
Hello, how are you?
I need to know what the acronym "DAN" means in crochet
Greetings from Chile
@@jimenadiazgallardo818 hmm that is a new one for me! Can you tell me how it’s written in the actual pattern?
@@magdalenamathilda5476 I just found the meaning of "DAN" and it is "repeat the round"
@@jimenadiazgallardo818 lol wow that is a weird way to say “repeat” Thanks for letting me know! You learn something new every day lol
