Thank you so much! I’ve never found one person that crochets exactly like another. We all learn differently and it’s fine. Thanks so much for watching.
I feel money is a little tighter this year. So I’m looking for ways to bless more people with my handmade items. I used to get mags or containers at the dollar stores but the quality isn’t there. So thrifting fills that gap. Thanks so much for your comment!
Just came across your channel and subscribe. I love to crochet and do a lot for charities. You showed some great ideas in this video. Thanks for Georgia
New subscriber! Im left handed and a hand quilter. I’d love to learn crochet also. Do you sell these washcloths or just gift them to friends and family? I’m looking forward to going back and watching videos. Merry Christmas and happy homesteading! 💙👩🌾🎄💚🧵🪡
@ you are most welcome. If you ever decide to let someone mail order some, please let me know. Until then, I’m going to try learning with the help of UA-cam. God bless and Merry Christmas.
@@thetermite72 yep. It’s the way I was taught 50 years ago. It makes a more distinct x shape on the stitches. And it doesn’t affect the work at all. I find it faster to crochet. You just want to keep it consistent. If you do under, don’t throw in an occasional over or it’ll stand out. Great question.
The yarn under is an important detail to note, as the majority of crocheters work 'yarn over'. This is a lovely pattern with nice texture for a washcloth. Working 'yarn under' will make the work tighter, with greater stitch definition, and finished piece size smaller overall (vs yarn over). This is great technique for a washcloth that gets heavy use. Be aware, if you work this patter with the more common 'yarn over', it will be larger and a looser, less dense fabric.
This is a fantastic explanation! I appreciate you going into detail. I had way too many people tell me I crochet wrong. lol. No. I crochet differently. And honestly crocheting is an art with many ways to find success.
@@JustDoSomethingHomestead Both ways (yarn over or yarn under) have their strengths. I use both methods, depending on what I am making. You are correct, crochet is a fiber 'art' and there are many ways to create.
Different is NOT wrong. Am I also “wrong” because I have red hair, blue eyes, and live on a farm? I’m probably different looking than you. I simply crochet differently than you do. That doesn’t make it wrong. I’ve been crocheting for over 50 years. I was taught in 4-H. You can choose to grab over or under. You can choose to chain 2 vs a magic circle. You can hold your hook over handed or like a pencil. And you can choose to do a slipknot instead of tying a knot to add the yarn to your hook. All of those are choices. I am a teacher. Did you know for years I made EVERY student of mine a crocheted blanket for Christmas? I’m talking 25+ a year. All paid for and made by myself. And not one child told me that I crocheted “wrong”. Instead they had something to cover with when their heat had been shut off or when they needed to hold onto something and rock back and forth. They felt loved and warm and valued. Please don’t judge myself and others by your preconceptions that you are right and that makes others wrong. Instead we are creating beautiful items made with love to share with others.
Very nice idea ❤ Thanks
You are welcome!
Many people crochet like you do. Please don’t think you’re wrong by how you crochet. Very nice gifts.

Loved the combination of thrifted and handmade. ❤

Is there a specific reason you yarn under or is it just the way you crochet?

Madam you’re great ,
You do not crochet the stitches the right way. Wrong way to crochet

I could tell by just watching that you were highly experienced. I've been crocheting since I was a little girl. Thanks for sharing ❤
