Thank you sooooo much!! I can’t understand written patterns for the life of me and need to watch tutorials in order to understand how to do it. I watched many videos and most of them rushed through the tutorial and I was left feeling even more confused, but I’m so glad I came across yours!!! So easy to understand, thank you sooooo much!!!
first of all i really like this tutorial bc it is very easy to understand but do you maybe have an extended version of this where you make like 5 rows? if you dont that is totally fine i just dont understand how to make more rows while also keeping the oval flat and that was why i was asking.
Ik it's two years later, but I have a question 😅: So do you just keep increasing 3, then 4,then 5, etc. the the more rounds you go? Like, do you, every round, increase one more and SC one more the bigger you want it?
Hi. What if you are working anti clockwise rows, for an oval base? At the end of every row you trun back anticlockwise? Do you know how to join the rows in such a case?
The next round would still have 3 increases on each side. So Round 3 would look like this. Round 3: sc, (inc), sc in next 3 sts, *sc, (inc)* 3 times, sc in next 3 sts, *sc,(inc)* twice (24)
Hi, the pattern I am using says this:: chain 6, start at the 2nd stitch from the hook Rnd 1. inc, 2sc, 5sc in last stitch, 2sc, inc (13) Rnd 2. inc, 3sc, 5-inc, 3sc, inc (20) I really cannot figure out how the first round is supposed to come together? if you start from the 2nd stitch from the hook you'd have 5 stitches to work in and so the "5sc into the last stitch" don't end up in the last stitch of the chain. Alternatively if you're meant to work all of that into the first row of stitches you just made, there's not enough as there's only 5 stitches left and not 6.
Hey Emma, I’m not sure which pattern you’re using (if it happens to be one of mine please let me know so I can correct it), but I think if you Ch5 to start instead of 6 then those first 2 rounds will work :).
@@DarlingMapleDesigns Thank you so much, it was not one of yours. I asked for advice and was directed to this video (which was super helpful by the way, great video) and yes I think the pattern is meant to say 5. I appreciate the reply, thank you
The way I’ve shown the continuous oval rounds in this video, both ends should be the same size (3 sts in each end). The first sc and last 2sc are all placed in the same chain. In some patterns sometimes the designer will have one end larger than the other by either adding extra sts or taller sts (hdc, dc, etc). I hope this helps. :)
@@DarlingMapleDesigns i added 5 on one end because u said it would make it flatter. I guess when u go to the end on the other side on the first row do u put 3 sc in it or before u start the first side do u put 3 sc in the ends?
Ohh ok, I see what you’re saying. If you’re following a pattern then I would stick to the pattern because this will change your stitch counts. If you’re just working in oval rounds then here’s how to make it flatter (and even)… If you are wanting the oval flatter then place 5sc in last chain, then when you’re turning (rotating) to work in the back of the chs, place 4sc in the last ch instead of 2. This will give you 5sts on each end so it’s even. This means that you will want to continue increasing by 10 each round as well instead of 6.
Thank you so much! I finally did it after your detailed explanation of which loops to use to yarn into

Thank you, your explanations are so helpful❤❤
You're so welcome! I’m so glad they are helpful ❤️
Thank you for the video. Could you tell me what increase pattern should be followed if I want to make a larger oval.
thank you for this!! you're a very good teacher, honestly!!
Thank you so much ❤️. I’m so glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for making this video!
My pleasure! I’m so glad you found it helpful ❤️
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the video
You’re welcome
very helpful thank you ^^
Ik it's two years later, but I have a question 😅:
So do you just keep increasing 3, then 4,then 5, etc. the the more rounds you go? Like, do you, every round, increase one more and SC one more the bigger you want it?
I would continue increasing by 6 sts each round (usually I place them in the 2nd sc of the increase from the previous round).
Did you ever make a video showing how to fix the hole made when crocheting the increases into the end of the oval? I looked and couldn’t find one.
Thank you sooo much❤
You’re welcome ☺️
Hi. What if you are working anti clockwise rows, for an oval base? At the end of every row you trun back anticlockwise? Do you know how to join the rows in such a case?
So if i wanted to add another round, do i do 5 inc on each side, or more/less?
The next round would still have 3 increases on each side. So Round 3 would look like this.
Round 3: sc, (inc), sc in next 3 sts, *sc, (inc)* 3 times, sc in next 3 sts, *sc,(inc)* twice (24)

If you use 2 strands of thread held together may be even 3 your rug would be a lot thicker and stronger
Yes it definitely would :)
Is one end suppose to be smaller than the other.

@@DarlingMapleDesigns thank u. This makes since
Malo, malo, bad, bad,
So confusing

Glad I could help! ❤️
