Best tutorial I’ve seen on how to complete an Intarsia Crochet project. I love your method for determining the number of bobbins and reading the chart. You made me want to try my hand at this again. Thank you.
Oh gosh, you are so sweet! I'm so glad you found it helpful, and hope you have fun trying this technique out again!!
This is exactly what I needed!!! I’m crocheting a blanket right now and I was stuck on how to calculate the number of bobbins I needed and couldn’t find anything on it. You answered all my questions and you were thorough every step of the way!
I'm so glad this was what you needed! Thank you so much for the kind words! :)
Thank you so much for this EXCELLENT tutorial! I wish that I would have had this tutorial 25 years ago and completed tons of Intarsia by now! I will now be able to take out a kit out that I threw in the closet years ago for a baby afghan and complete it. I will be purchasing your patterns! Keep up the good work!
I’m so happy you found this so helpful!!! Thank you so much for the kind words!!! ❤️❤️
Oh my goodness Emily! I have to thank you for making this video. It was so informative, detailed, and easy to follow. I'm so excited now. All my questions were answered. Thank you thank you thank you!
You are so welcome, Vanessa. Thank you so much, I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much for your time in this awesome tutorial. Just what I needed for changing colors and making the project look neat. Awesome!
Finally watched to the end. I have to comment again . You did a fabulous job teaching how to do this pillow.. one if the best I have seen, and I have watched alot of videos on here. Thank you again
That's such a huge compliment... Thank you!!
This is an excellent tutorial for intarsia crochet! I have looked at several and this is by far the most fully explained and demonstrated. Thank you so much for the explanation and free pattern. I was looking for a tutorial for another project that I'm making for a friend and your tutorial has been invaluable. I may even use your pillow pattern as a practice before I begin my project, which is much larger. Thank you again!!!!🥰
I'm so glad it was helpful for you!!
Love this hope to see more videos come out I love watching crocheting and knitting videos im such a visual learner
Thanks Tara!! I can definitely relate... I plan to do one on Tapestry Crochet in the near future!
This is what is called "Intarsia" crochet...I find that other UA-camrs carry their yarns along 5stitches sometimes and they yet they call it "Intarsia"....To me, once you have to carry the non-working yarn across, it becomes Tapestry...like you said, sometimes we crocheters cheat 😁
I just received your blessed pillow pattern and yarn from Mary Maxim today!! I'm so excited to find you have a video explaining everything.
Hi Jamie! So excited! Thank you so much! This video actually explains a different technique than the one used for the Blessed Pillow. The Blessed Pillow uses Tapestry (carrying the non-dominant yarn through each of the stitches)... This video explains Intarsia (using bobbins for each separate color)... If you have any questions about the tapestry technique, let me know... I hope to get a video out about that in the near future... :)
This is a fantastic tutorial...thank you so much! I've always wondered how people turn the pieces with so many bobbins. I would love to a tutorial for tapestry crochet as well, if you're up for it!
Valerie Young Thank you so much Valerie! So glad you enjoyed it! I do have plans to make a tapestry crochet tutorial this year 😃
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I wish there was a left handed version.
HI! Unfortunately, I cannot crochet left handed, so I can't demonstrate it that way, however, you can still use the pattern and it will come out the same. Here's how: you will be crocheting from left to right, where I crochet from right to left. As far as following the graph, you will follow it right to left on all odd number rows, and left to right on all even number rows. The only difference is that when you crochet odd number rows, you will be facing the wrong side of your work (where I would be facing the right side) and when you crochet the even number rows, you will be facing the right side of your work (where I would be facing the wrong side.). :)
Thanks a Lot! Great work with clear explanations!
So glad you found it helpful!!
Congratulations!! Your work is amazing and your video is fantastic, even for a newbie in this technique! Thank you!!
anaclf thank you so much!! ❤️
Just awesome! Thank you a million for making this detailed video. Off to make some bobbins....:)
Fun!!! You are so welcome...
Your pillow turned out so beautiful🥰
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
This is an amazing tutorial, it’s a shame that u have only 2 videos. You should keep on posting ur tutorials ur too good at it.
Aww thank you so much! ☺️
Thank you for having this video. Love it.
You're so welcome!! :)
Thanks so much for this tutorial!! It really explains alot and makes it easier to create your beautiful patterns!!!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
Absolutely wonderful tutorial‼️
Your video is amazing! Thank you.
Susie thank you!! ☺️
Beautiful tutorial, very detailed!!
Really good tutorial. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for such a great tutorial! I get confused because I just don't "get" how to read the graph. I did not use your pattern; perhaps I should. But I drew a pattern on graph paper. And one leg of my minion is the correct size and the other is too skinny. I am guessing it happens when I come in from the left side which for me is the back side...something with how to count. Alas, I will just keep watching you teach me.
I can't speak to a pattern I didn't design, but good luck with your project! I'm glad the tutorial was helpful! :)
Love this. Want to make a beanie with a big heart with a number in middle with mybsons name on it.. thank you.. watching all kinds of videos and trying to learn the best look for me. Thisbis very nice. Thanks for sharing.. hugs ps: you are an awesome teacher.. 😊
Thank you! There's an amazing designer that sells the beanie patterns you are referring to... Justyna from Lady Jay Crochet. I'll link her Etsy shop here: www.etsy.com/shop/LadyJayCrochet
Love this making mine now!!!
Yay! Have fun! :)
This is a fabulous tutorial! I am just so thrilled with what I learned here. Regarding the slip stitches around the 3 sides? Can sc also be used? Again thank you for spending so much time teaching us this great new way to crochet!
So glad you enjoyed it! If you use single crochet around the RS, you can probably use a contrasting color to create a "border" effect. If you use single crochet on the WS, it might be a little bulkier and less seamless when you turn the pillow cover right side out.
Muchas gracias, excelente explicación ❤️
Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for such an informative video! I wanted to know why do you yarn under vs. over?
Hi Erica! I yarn under only when I am making the color change. It provides a more seamless transition between colors. When you make the first half of the stitch in the original color, the yarn "under" with the color you are changing to finishes that stitch more cleanly. The rest of the stitches that are made are done in regular single crochet where you pull up a loop, yarn "over," and pull through both loops on your hook. :)
You are awesome! Thanks for the help! :)
Can you do a video where you do a color change after a stitch on the wrong side? I love your video.
Hi! So glad you love the video! You can see how I do color changes on the Wrong Side starting at 43:30. :)
I like your video but I couldn't tell how you was changing colors cause your camera was too far away.i was wondering if you can do another video with your camera up closer.
Ohhhhh that's really gorgeous 💐
Hi, I tried to download the pattern here and on your instagram account without any luck. Can you fix this problem? Thank you!
Have you ever tried washing the cushion with the crochet case? Is there a reason why you don't slip stitch on the bottom when you put two pieces together?
Yes, you can wash it on gentle cycle (in a laundry bag or pillow case) and then dry on low fluffing as needed. As for slip stitching the bottom, the reason why I don't do that is because it creates a "lip" and I prefer a more seamless, finished look. The slip-stitched edges around the sides are hidden when you turn the pillow case right side out, and then a whip stitch provides a cleaner look for the bottom. Hope this helps explain it! :)
Did u when u say u got to put the white yarn back to u when I put the new color on put the old color under the new one before carrying on with the new color
Like when your new color is on the hook u take the old one and put it underneath the new color that’s on the hook does that make sense ?
Do u know how to do graphgan?
Blankets that is .. can I apply putting the old color under the new color kind of cross I g it over while my new color is on the hook ?
Would that work to give me a
Cleaner look
Hi Cassandra, I'm really not sure I understand what you're asking... My advice is to follow the video step by step, pausing and replaying as needed until you understand the technique. Graphgan blankets I think are more like my tapestry technique where the non-dominant color is carried through the other stitches rather than separated into bobbins like the Intarsia technique where there is no carry through. Each technique if done properly gives a clean look. :)
I see you did a regular chain what does mc mean?? I though it was one of those special chains.
Vic Si MC stands for “Main Color”... basically it’s the background color yarn 😊
@@TLBPatterns oh my goodness😂🤦♀️ I was th thinking Magic Circle...magic chain. As is chainless foundation. Lol thank you!
I like your video but I wish your camera was a little closer so I can see how you do the color changes on the front side and back side.
Thanks... Sorry it wasn't close enough for you. If you have specific questions, feel free to message me! :)
Hi Emily. I'm from Brazil and I love your vídeo plenty of details. Thank you só much for share with us. I don't know why I couldn't make the download of the graphic. I tryied a lot of times without get It. Do you mind send It to my e-mail? I will really apreciate. Thank you, once more.
Hi Inah! That's no problem at all... Send me an email at twolittlebirdspatterns@gmail.com and I'll reply with the pattern... :)
I have a question
I follow the way you do your technique intarsia with my blankets
But I have a question is that how u do blankets
Wrong side the yarn goes in the front right and right side it goes in the back something like that.. than again I just watch another video and that says my yarn should always be in the back … which is it for blankets that are graphgans ?
No matter what the project is, the bobbin should always be left on the wrong side (WS) when finished working with it.
Hi! Just a quick question: on RS rows, why bring the bobbin forward then back? Why not just keep it in the back when starting the next color?
Hi! I guess that's just my way of ensuring the yarn sits in the right spot during the color transition. I feel it makes for a more smooth color transition visually and also ensures that the bobbins go back to the WS. If you find that you don't need to do that, then you are definitely free to do it in a way you are comfortable with. :)
Do you make bobbins like this for the patterns with just the main color and 1 contrast color? (like your baskets or letter pillows)
Hi Holly! For the Monogram Baskets, yes. For the Monogram Pillows, no. The Monogram Pillow uses tapestry. For the baskets, I didn't want to carry the yarn through, so even though there's only two colors, I chose to make it using Intarsia. I'd say as a general rule for my patterns, any pattern with more than two colors I use Intarsia (with bobbins). MOST patterns with only two colors, I use tapestry (carrying the yarn through each stitch). Some exceptions to that are the Hunter Monogram Baskets, the Chillaxin Pillow, and The Abigail Monogram Towel which use intarsia... Its best to read each individual pattern description to see what technique was used. :)
Is it also okay to just carry the white through if making this into a pillow where the back won't get seen anyway?
You can, however theres a few things you will want to take into consideration... First, it will change the look of the stitches slightly where you might see a little bit of the white through the color stitches. Also, your panel might be slightly larger (taller) than it should be due to the increased height of each stitch from the carry-through. Other than that, its all what you prefer.. :)
Can you please let me know what website you use to make your graph?
Sure! I use Stitch Fiddle...
@@TLBPatterns Thank you 😊
Hi - I am not able to access the link for the pattern. Would you be able to reply to this comment with the link? Thank you.
Hi Barbara, you can access the pattern through this link: mailchi.mp/45f7c9607b22/thebeautifulpillow
Hi, love your tutorial but I don’t see where to get the pattern?
I found it, thanks very much.
Oh great! I was just about to send you the link 😊
I really appreciate the time you take to explain how much to allow for each bobbin. That always bothers me so I do tapestry but it can become stiff or thick. Thanks!
I’m so glad you found that helpful!!
Hi,Emily,can you do almost the same video but have your camera up more closer.i love your video but I couldn't see what you was doing.
Hi Elizabeth! I won't be making another video, but if you have specific questions, feel free to email me! I'd be glad to help!
What is a bobbin?
Natalie Cardon a bobbin is a small amount of yarn which can just be balled up or wrapped around a small piece of cardboard. They even sell plastic bobbins in craft stores I believe. I find it easier and quicker to just ball it up, but that’s just my preference ☺️
I love your video but it needs to have a more close up view so we can see what you are doing.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video! I am definitely not a pro at filming, lol, so I just tried to get the best shot possible to explain the steps. Hope it was still somewhat helpful to you. :)
