Ooooh giiiirl! You are the best crochet teacher on youtube. Thank you so much for your well detailed videos. They are much appreciated! Got it on the first try... not because I'm good at crocheting... but because you are a very patient teacher. God bless!
OMG....Thank you soooo much for zooming in and going slowly!! I can't tell you how many videos don't zoom in or go slowly or even show you how to end the project for those of us that are learning...thank you thank you!
I confess to being confused with the number of stitches as at one stage you said you had '26 stitches'. It was in fact 27 trebles plus the turn = 28 stitches. I managed to finish the pattern successfully at last!! Thank you for this lovely pattern.
Thank you so much for this video, I am loving the waffle stitch in a baby blanket. And to all the people complaining the pattern is repeating on 3 stitches, the plus 4 is the 2 stitches on the start of the piece you are crocheting and then at the end you have another 2 stitches. So it does work out with no problems.
I'm having a problem with that part. She chained 28 total. I did exactly as she did but then she counts up 26 stitches in foundation and I'm getting 27-28. I've gone on to rows 2 and 3 but then I'm not ending on the same count she does. Where am I messing up?
Bella Coco has been a staple in my crochet journey over the years. The way she repeats yarn over pull through yarn over pull through 2 etc really helps because it becomes a mantra and allows me to continue with the video without having to look at what she’s doing cause I’m repeating yarn over pull through etc x
I do the exact same thing!! 😂 I am continuously mumbling yarn over, insert, yarn over pull through, year over pull through 2 etc... It's like chanting. 😅
Nabanita Mitra yeah exactly, like a mantra! If I take a long break from crocheting I still repeat it to myself! I’m currently crocheting a mini sofa for my cat, complete with blanket and mini pillows I’m so excited! X
I made a throw blanket for movie nights with my husband and it is very cozy and warm. Thank you SO much for your wonderful tutorials! I'm excited for the next one 🙂
I am so glad to finally find this tutorial. My all time favorite waffle pattern. I am going to make few pillow covers for my boys' beds as a start, after I will make a blanket. Thank you so much for sharing
I've been crocheting for over 30 years and can't believe I've finally found this delightful pattern! I've seen the waffle before, but couldn't find anyone who knew the pattern, nor could I come across a pattern book with it. Then I forgot about it, and Voila!! Here it is on your site! You have just made my day! My year! LOL!! Thank you so much for your videos! Well done!
I'm not sure which tutorial I started with, but I kept putting my blanket down to make others. Then when I did pick it back up again, I totally forgot how it was done, but here comes Bella Cocoa to the rescue 🛟☺️❣️ Thank you so very much ❣️ I've always enjoyed watching your videos! Hopefully I will finish MY blanket before someone else asks me to make them one❣️😂
Great easy tutorial,I am a beginner as far as crochet is concerned and your tutorials are always helpful. I have decided to use this for a baby blanket and wondered which stitch/stitches would you recommend for an edging
I don't crochet too often but have always wanted to learn to crochet the Waffle Stitch. - It is my first tutorial and you have made it so easy and such a pleasure to follow . Thank you Bella
My grandma taught me how to crochet a simple continuous circle, and she wanted to teach me more, but I was not very receptive as a young child. Soon after this, she developed Alzheimer's and was unable to teach me. When lockdowns started, I was living in her house, without her, only with her memory. I remember coming to this channel at 1 or 2 in the morning to learn a new stitch and to try to spend some time with her. I've been quite busy the past couple months and haven't had much time to crochet, but I am so glad to have a afternoon today so I can take a deep breath and come back here, where things are a bit slower, and I can crochet a dishcloth rather than going out to buy a sponge. So thank you for this bit of peace and thanks for a connection to my grandma ❤️
I've been trying to get myself out of my comfort zone and learn new crochet stitch techniques. Your video was amazing! Thanks so much! I just started making a dish towel just to see how this works, and I love it so much I'll be not only making a bunch more dish towels for Christmas, I'm going to make a baby blanket for a friend of mine! Perfect instructions, and definitely will be checking out more of your videos. Thank you again!
Thank you for this video! It was so helpful, and I even appreciated that you included that you ran out of yarn to complete your project. It helps to make a beginner like me, feel less imperfect, knowing experts can still have the same problems!
i need to practice this one ...managed to do least 3 rows after just watching it ...but i cannot seem to get a straight edge ( edge that has the tail at start).. soo frustrated - but excellent tutorial :)
Thnx for sharing creative knowledge. As the salvation Army needs blankets for the children in the orphanage, I decide to learn a new stitch. This one is easy and neat. Thank you. Milly (from the Netherlands )
I just made my first blanket with this tutorial! You made it so incredibly easy to follow along. This will be a gift for my daughter on her wedding day I’m beyond proud and so very grateful! Thank you so much! 💗
Bella Coco Hello I've followed your directions to start out your 1st dc in the 2nd ch from the hook & I've done it over 3x & I keep ending up with 27 stitches. I also count my chains on my foundation ch 2x & it's always the right amount. Do I need to dc into the 3rd ch in order to get 26? Bc I would skipping 2 chains.
+Justin Webb MY BROTHER-IN-LAW TOOK IT UP WHEN HE WAS LAID OFF BECAUSE IT GAVE HIM SOMETHING TO DO FOR JUST THAT REASON. IT'S WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO KEEP YOU CENTERED.
Like other commenters have said, I love your accent too! But also, I wanted to say thank you for pointing out how much of a difference hook sizes mean! It's funny how much of a difference 1mm makes!
I am JUST NOW starting to leave the "single stitch" crochet and wanting to learn others. I have to say this one looks REALLY AWESOME, however extremely complicated but you make it look so easy to do. I am going to be downloading this video to my phone so I can watch it over and over and over and over until I can get the hang of it. Thank you so much for this video. You are an EXCELLENT TEACHER!!!!
I don't care the video is old...i luv the way she step by step the projects. So a beginner like me can remember how to do certain stiches and...learn terms in another langue...2 tribles please..yarn over👏👏👏😍😍😍💪😛😀yarn color always works as well
Hi I started learning to crochet 2 weeks ago and I've learnt C2C. I've finished that and this is going to be my next project and I'm looking forward to it. She is very easy to understand and follow. Love her videos 😀
Oh my god! You’re the only person I’ve seen that does a ch1 for the turning ch when doing a dc/tr crochet. Everyone else either does a ch2 or ch3. I hat how loopy and gapey it looks with the long turning ch.
this stitch gives a lovely effect and I'm making the back of a cushion cover with it, but I have to say I have never seen anyone do a UK treble like that! all the tutorials I've seen (and how I learned years ago) is YO, through the stitch, pull yarn through (3 loops on hook) YO, pull through 2 loops, YO, pull through the other 2 loops.
Thankyou Your tutorials are great you explain it so well you have a soothing voice and explain it so clearly Always recommend you to people that need to watch a tutorial
Perfect I made a baby blanket in this stitch , it was perfect , I used bernat pop and it has stripes but with the pattern stitch came out most interesting . Justin Webb,keep on keeping on , in down time the fishermen mend their nets, nothing more than giant tools for giant knots , aka crochet , smaller tools , smaller knots 😊 If men could see it this way , more would be interested in giving it a try . Keep up the good work .
I made this waffle stitch and I made a pouch using this stitch.Your tutorials are best for beginners like me 😁.I'm glad that I found your channel.Thank you Bella Coco☺👌🏻👏🏻
Love your tutorial. The only thing I would recommend is adding a brief text version of what you did in the video which is really handy for looking at the pattern another way and for moving faster than the video.
Your tutorials are so easy to follow! I used this stitch to make a facecloth with a cotton yarn (my first proper completed piece of crochet!), and it turned out great, so I went on to make a cowl as well. Thank you for de-mystifying crochet for me, it has given me confidence!
Thank you for all of your tutorials, I have watched a few now and you explain things so clearly, and I particularly like your explanation of US v UK terminology, this has always confused me. Keep them coming! I’m planning to make a blanket out of all the swatch’s that I am making using your tutorials, it’s going to be so cosy and have lots of different textures 💕thanks again!
Thank you! I’m fairly new at this crochet thing, and I think this might be my favorite stitch I’ve used so far! So pretty. I’ve made two dish cloths today. Thanks again. :)
Just had to say THANK YOU! You are one of the few people I've found that does really great tutorials but also includes the US version of the stitch. I've found really great videos but always had to look up the US stitches which took a bit of time. So thank you for already including them. It just makes it a bit easier!
To make a front post treble you insert your hook from the front, round the back, and to the front again as shown in the video. It's called a front post treble because it pushes the stitch to the front of the work 😊 A back post treble (or double) means inserting your hook from the back, round the front, and to the back again, and pushes the stitch to the back of the work.
I was looking for something different to do for my new grandson's baby blanket and this is perfect. Thank you for such a great tutorial it was really easy to follow.
Just started crocheting and thank you so so much for this video ❤️ it's so simple but the end product looks incredible!! Thank you for your teaching, it's so easy to follow!
chain in multiples of 3 then add 4. Then dc's starting from second chain from hook! This will leave us with 3 extea stitches from the original multiples of 3. But you say we will have 2 extra stitches from the starting multiples? I see in the comments many others confused re. this.
The reason there are 4 extra stitches: one for the chain skipped at the first turn, one for the waffle pattern first ridge (technically the pattern is a repeat of 3 plus one for the extra ridge that you begin with), and then the two extra stitches that frame the waffle pattern on each side.
Ugh, I counted my second row so many times and ended up removing a stitch so that I had multiples of 3 plus 2. Then find out at the end of the next row that I actually needed that stitch. I hate frogging. 😒
I am new to crochet and now I have the main stitch down wanted to learn a new one but I am getting the same issue as you described I do not have the additional 2 stitches to my original groups of 3 + 4 HELP………… I love this pattern and want to master it
You are so easy to understand! and having the camera zoom in when explaining a particular part was a real nice help. thank you so much. Really looking forward to more of your lessons.
I need clarification, you said you chain in multiple of 3 and then you add 4 and then double crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook and every stitch across and then you should end with the original number of your chain plus 2 stitches, however that could only be possible if you started your double crochets in the 4th chain from the hook....I even paused your video and counted your double crochets and you did not end up with 26 you ended up with 28, you should correct your video.
+Heather Burleson I'm also having the same issue. I've tried this like 5 times on just a sample size project and I never end up with 2 more stitches than my multiple of three. If I follow the video I end up with my multiple of 3 plus FOUR additional stitches (including the little false stitch for my chain up). Something is off and I'm afraid to start a larger project because I want to be sure my waffle pattern lines up correctly.
+Heather Burleson MEEEEE TOOO!!!! I've done it at least 6 times and come up with more every single time. It's making me crazy. Finally gave up and chained an extra two instead
I end up with a total of 28 stitches. there are a couple of other ladies that replied that have the same thing, so I don't know if I should continue. I am going by your example.
You make this look so easy, and judging by the comments..it is! Why am I getting gaps as soon as I go into first row after the chain..have tried and tried and will keep at it! Ty for your tutorials 🙂
Great tutorial. Finished product is beautiful. I'm a beginner and this is so easy yet it looks so difficult! Thank you for sharing your talent with us freely.
Bella, You are such a talented person and you are also a great teacher. Thanks to your tutorials (they are the best on the web in my opinion) I have been able to make sentimental and useful gifts for others. Keep up the great work!Melissa
Love this video! I made 2 face cloths now with cotton yarn and am so pleased with them! Thanks so much for teaching me:) I think I will make my hubby a scarf for this winter.
So glad I found your channel. Been wanting to learn the waffle stitch and basket weave stitch. Could never find someone I Could follow very well. Your explanations, the clarity of how to do this in an easy, timely manner is wonderful. Thanks so much, learned two new stitches today.
I’m always discouraged to learn a new technique so I’ve stuck with the same one for years. This is the first time I have easily been able to learn a new technique. Such a great tutorial you’re awesome at explaining, thanks so much. I’m definitely going to check out more!
I love your videos you are a VERY good teacher.......lm left handed and can’t get that video to work, it goes for a few seconds and stops.😒 But I can follow pretty good right handed, my grandma tough me the basic chain and stitches 40 years ago. Anyway you are great!!!!!!! 😘
I️ thoroughly enjoy all of your videos! As someone who finds it difficult to follow and learn from many videos on UA-cam, I️ find yours to be super helpful and I️ am so excited by what I️ have learned from you in such a short time. Thanks so much!
Why do you only chain one at the end of each row instead of two? Most patterns tell you to chain one for single crochet and chain 2 for double crochet.
Your tutorials are always so easy to follow. You seem to always know just when we can carry on. Thank you! I have made the granny square blanket using five rows of black around each colored square. I used five colors that were vibrant and set off the black. I also finished your increase/decrease blanket with yarn I had around. So fun to be able to crochet without having to use a written pattern constantly!!
i am totally confused! at the begining of this tutorial you advise chain in multiples of 3 then add 4 you chain 24 then add 4 more giving you 28 then a just a wee bit later on you say you chain 24 and add a further 2 giving you 26. I am not sure which it is. I am new to crochet. Can you advise please?
Flora, remember when she started her first treble she skipped 2 stitches at 3.26 minutes into the video. So she started with 28 skipped 2 stitches at the very start of the treble pattern leaving 26 stitches.
When starting you dc in second st from hook, then when you ch 1 and turn you do a dc in first dc before you start the three St pattern, then at the end you have a dc in the very last St after the pattern sts...those are your 4 extra sts.
This was just a wonderful video! Thank you so very much for taking the time to teach us! We are going to have a lovely dishcloth hanging by the sink later today!! :)
Just take it slow and pause lots I've never followed more than a double then single crochet as a patterned stitch and messed up on this one a few times but went back and fixed it up. Try again.
Ooooh giiiirl! You are the best crochet teacher on youtube. Thank you so much for your well detailed videos. They are much appreciated! Got it on the first try... not because I'm good at crocheting... but because you are a very patient teacher. God bless!
Denise Thompson - Your tutorials are always so easy to follow. It doesn’t matter which tutorial I follow I always come back to you so thank you.
You are welcome and thank you for your support :)
Awesome tutorial! I have made almost a million of these dishcloths! I wish all instructions were as clear as yours! Thankyou

The reason there are 4 extra stitches: one for the chain skipped at the first turn, one for the waffle pattern first ridge (technically the pattern is a repeat of 3 plus one for the extra ridge that you begin with), and then the two extra stitches that frame the waffle pattern on each side.
Ugh, I counted my second row so many times and ended up removing a stitch so that I had multiples of 3 plus 2. Then find out at the end of the next row that I actually needed that stitch. I hate frogging. 😒
I am new to crochet and now I have the main stitch down wanted to learn a new one but I am getting the same issue as you described I do not have the additional 2 stitches to my original groups of 3 + 4 HELP………… I love this pattern and want to master it
❤
you are my best crochet teacher
Thank you so much :)
You are so easy to understand! and having the camera zoom in when explaining a particular part was a real nice help. thank you so much. Really looking forward to more of your lessons.
thanks so much... I've made a scarf for husband and he loves it... unusual pattern so has been admired. thanks for all you do with your tutorials😚
I need clarification, you said you chain in multiple of 3 and then you add 4 and then double crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook and every stitch across and then you should end with the original number of your chain plus 2 stitches, however that could only be possible if you started your double crochets in the 4th chain from the hook....I even paused your video and counted your double crochets and you did not end up with 26 you ended up with 28, you should correct your video.
+Heather Burleson I'm also having the same issue. I've tried this like 5 times on just a sample size project and I never end up with 2 more stitches than my multiple of three. If I follow the video I end up with my multiple of 3 plus FOUR additional stitches (including the little false stitch for my chain up). Something is off and I'm afraid to start a larger project because I want to be sure my waffle pattern lines up correctly.
+Heather Burleson MEEEEE TOOO!!!! I've done it at least 6 times and come up with more every single time. It's making me crazy. Finally gave up and chained an extra two instead
I end up with a total of 28 stitches. there are a couple of other ladies that replied that have the same thing, so I don't know if I should continue. I am going by your example.
Did any of you ladies ever get a clarification on this? It's so frustrating.. When I can't figure something out.
+H Johnson no haven't had any clarification so I went onto something else.
You make this look so easy, and judging by the comments..it is! Why am I getting gaps as soon as I go into first row after the chain..have tried and tried and will keep at it! Ty for your tutorials 🙂
making a baby blanket for a friend who is due soon and I'm using this stitch and it looks amazing so far I love it :)
+Heaven Jones This stitch will make an amazing blanket! I'm sure she will love it x
i want to make a baby blanket too, how many stitches did you start off with roughly?
Great tutorial.I am a big fan of Bella coco.
Thank you :)
Great tutorial. Finished product is beautiful. I'm a beginner and this is so easy yet it looks so difficult! Thank you for sharing your talent with us freely.
Really nice stitch and very clear in showing how to do the stitch. Am making a baby afghan in a variegated yellow and its beautiful
Bella, You are such a talented person and you are also a great teacher. Thanks to your tutorials (they are the best on the web in my opinion) I have been able to make sentimental and useful gifts for others. Keep up the great work!Melissa
absolutely love how you talk/ explain each step! I'm new to crocheting and I find this very helpful and clear
Thank you for the detail of the stitches. I watched another video on waffle and was confused so came here. Excellent teaching!! Thank you!
i can do this and im only 10 years old but i do crochet club at school
i just made a ear warmer
same
Dude you have a crochet club at school?? Lucky.
I wish we had crochet club when I was in school! Lol
ching lang , this is so nice to hear. When I was your age I learned sitting in front of my grandma because I am left handed.
Thank you! Your tutorial was demonstrated in such a way that I was able to follow your instructions and understand exactly what to do.
You're very welcome 🙂
Love this video! I made 2 face cloths now with cotton yarn and am so pleased with them! Thanks so much for teaching me:) I think I will make my hubby a scarf for this winter.
+miss carol that will be snuggly :) x
I'm going to use this to make a bed throw for my sisters' Christmas. Impatiently waiting on my delivery of wool to get started.
Justin, it is nice to see a guy doing this... And I agree, it is very relaxing and Bella does a great job with her tutuiol .
I’ve always loved this stitch! So much depth!!!
So glad I found your channel. Been wanting to learn the waffle stitch and basket weave stitch. Could never find someone I Could follow very well. Your explanations, the clarity of how to do this in an easy, timely manner is wonderful. Thanks so much, learned two new stitches today.
Brilliant instructions to get an even edge which is perfect to add a boarder on to. Thanks
I’m always discouraged to learn a new technique so I’ve stuck with the same one for years. This is the first time I have easily been able to learn a new technique. Such a great tutorial you’re awesome at explaining, thanks so much. I’m definitely going to check out more!
I love your videos you are a VERY good teacher.......lm left handed and can’t get that video to work, it goes for a few seconds and stops.😒 But I can follow pretty good right handed, my grandma tough me the basic chain and stitches 40 years ago. Anyway you are great!!!!!!! 😘
Thank you, I have checked the video and it all seems to be OK, could it be a local issue? :)
Yes it could be on my side, thank you for checking😊
I️ thoroughly enjoy all of your videos! As someone who finds it difficult to follow and learn from many videos on UA-cam, I️ find yours to be super helpful and I️ am so excited by what I️ have learned from you in such a short time. Thanks so much!
I'm so grateful to you.. It's beautiful and I'm proud i made it.. Thanks a million 🥺❤️
My pleasure 😊
Why do you only chain one at the end of each row instead of two? Most patterns tell you to chain one for single crochet and chain 2 for double crochet.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Love this tutorial and new found stitch!! You are a wonderful teacher ❣️
You're very welcome :)
Made a blanket with this stitch. It turned out beautifully, and it was fun to do. Thanks for the great videos!
Mary Lu Seidel okay
How many stitches did you have in the foundation one?
new to crocheting i love your tutorials easy to follow along and very clear thank you x
Your tutorials are always so easy to follow. You seem to always know just when we can carry on. Thank you! I have made the granny square blanket using five rows of black around each colored square. I used five colors that were vibrant and set off the black. I also finished your increase/decrease blanket with yarn I had around. So fun to be able to crochet without having to use a written pattern constantly!!
+Sandra Roels Im so glad you like them! Thanks for your message :) xx
I'm just learning to crochet and i love this stitch!! Did a practice one now going out to buy more yarn to make a blanket!!
i am totally confused! at the begining of this tutorial you advise chain in multiples of 3 then add 4 you chain 24 then add 4 more giving you 28 then a just a wee bit later on you say you chain 24 and add a further 2 giving you 26. I am not sure which it is. I am new to crochet. Can you advise please?
Flora Arbuckle
Flora, remember when she started her first treble she skipped 2 stitches at 3.26 minutes into the video. So she started with 28 skipped 2 stitches at the very start of the treble pattern leaving 26 stitches.

CHRISSY 😉
When starting you dc in second st from hook, then when you ch 1 and turn you do a dc in first dc before you start the three St pattern, then at the end you have a dc in the very last St after the pattern sts...those are your 4 extra sts.
Such a great tutorial!! My dishcloth turned out fantastic! So happy, thank you!
You're very welcome 🙂
This was just a wonderful video! Thank you so very much for taking the time to teach us! We are going to have a lovely dishcloth hanging by the sink later today!! :)
Thank you for your video and explanation! I was really having a hard time until I found your video ☺️
The beginning chain count + 4 screwed me over 😭
Just take it slow and pause lots I've never followed more than a double then single crochet as a patterned stitch and messed up on this one a few times but went back and fixed it up. Try again.
Your a great teacher. I'm so happy I found you💃😊
Thank you for this. I've made a cover for my tablet using this stitch. Because it's nice and chunky when finished, it adds extra protection x
+Sarah S Oh yeah! great idea x
+Sarah S Had the exact same idea :)
+Sarah S It would also act as extra insulation when used in a blanket.
+Sarah S You're welcome!
7 and 8 yea
What a great tutorial. Thank you for teaching me this stitch, I love it!
You are welcome :)
The waffle stitch tutorial was fine well and had me confidence I can learn and complete a project. Thank you.
