I just finished my first cowl with this pattern - it really is fun to do and very warm. I used a DK yarn. I'm going to try a chunky yarn and make some for my homeless shelter. Thanks, Mikey!
Very nice tutorial. Thank you for explaining about not "counting" that last loop when completing a round. Now I know why my stitch counts keep coming up wrong.
I have SOOOOOOOO MANY skeins of the patons metallic from previous yarn tent sales, never knew what to do with them. Now I have a pattern for them, thank you!
Awesome 👏 I’ve been using LYKKE wooden hooks here lately great stitch definition. It’s working great with Caron Simply Soft. I’m not a beginner but I love to work on a easy piece that looks fabulous. Thanks Mickey👍
I used the caron simply soft yarn and H hook but it was stiff/bulky, no drape to it. Would going up or down a hook size help so it drapes like the photo in pattern?
My stitches on top of my trebles are huge...I'm trying to keep things tight and close to the hook, I've even gone to a 6 mm (which has helped somewhat). Is there anything else you would suggest? Thanks! And love your work. Julie
Mickey, this cowl is fabulous. I does drape beautifully. I used a Stylecraft Special DK weight, G hook. Also, I keep the suggested width in mind, but try the scarf on to see how it looks. If you're making it for a friend, like I was, she tried it on and said STOP. Again thank you for always showing good technique, like 3 times ends weaving. Did you know some tutorials show one knot and snip! 😻
i love all your crochet projects, they keep me busy! as a somewhat beginner, i find it hard to understand joining rounds with slip stitch vs not joining (continuous rounds). also having a hard time understanding this video in the part where you said you will know when it's the last stitch (leaving an empty gap) and you slip stitch to the first stitch. can you please make a beginner-friendly video on working in the round and how to recognize the end stitches without counting every time? thank you!
When you say "not joining (continuous rounds)" I'm not really sure what you mean, could you be more specific? The reason he is choosing to make a slip stitch in the end and beginning of the rounds is because it can help with not leaving gaps in the garment, sometimes you'll see a row of gaps running through a finished piece where the rows begin. If you're talking about the moment in 4:30 he means that you can see in the "v" there already is a treble crochet made, the first one of the round and that means your row is complete. imgur.com/a/9bH12wA (Screenshot from video with notes) I hope this picture helps. The more you crochet the more your eyes will pick up on things like that. For stitch markers you can use a paperclip that you bend a little, a small twist-tie, a bobby-pin or a piece of yarn in another color. Fasten it in the first crochet stitch you make in your row, and you'll see where you started. I hope that helps a bit, please tell me otherwise, I'm a visual learner and had a real hard time when I wanted to start to crochet. I'll gladly help.
thanks for your reply! firstly, some projects call for "slip stitch to join each round" and some other projects say "do not slip stitch because we are working in continuous rounds" (like a hat?). i'm not quite understanding between the two. if let's say i want to try making something on my own without a pattern, how would i know if i should be slip stitching or not? thanks for the picture, i think it's kind of helpful. i think i just have trouble identifying which "loop" belongs to the first stitch. sure i can use a stitch marker but then i would like to get better at identifying without them :) appreciate the help!
Ah okey! I guess with for example a hat, if you make it as you go and use a ruler to get exact measurements/ try on for size and size down as you go then one wouldn't need to slip stitch to end a round. I haven't heard the term "continuous rounds" before, so I googled and thought the beginning of this article was helpful: www.ehow.com/how_12079321_crochet-continuous-round-joining.html I'm doing a beret with slip stitches in the end, (even though it's worked as a spiral) for the fabric to have a fuller look. On the "other" side it's not noticeable. I still sometimes have to look closer at my stitches to see if yarn has been pulled through it and it's time to do another row, my tip would be to pull and drag til you're sure (if not, just guess it usually still turns out great.) Oh, also, my first made-up pattern was a cowl in double crochets, and I didn't slip stitch between rounds. It's striped black and white, and one can clearly see where the colors are changed, like this: mimuu.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/amigurumi-renk-degistirme-nasil-yapilir-mimuu-com-13.png instead of smooth at the top. But for this cowl I don't think a missed slip stitch would make much of a difference.
Those types of details ar eprovided in the pattern link in the video description. There is a ton of details if I go through everything. So I rely on that if that makes any sense.
@@TheCrochetCrowd it's' way too little to be viewed on my phone screen - even when enlarged as much as possible. Not everyone has a pc with a larger screen, but thanks anyway
I liked your tutorials more when you didn't include all the technical stuff, charts, long explanations. Most of the beginning fiber artists I've talked to feel the same way. That said, I'm sure for intermediate to advanced stichers they are fabulous. 😃
The trick about making the base circle is a life changer! Thanks for sharing it and the pattern!

Wonderful!
Finally someone explains where to slip stitch & what they look like. Thank you!
LOVE the hint of looping the beginning chain so it does not twist.
Just made this and it turned out beauitful. Thank you so much for all your tutorials they are so helpful and you explain them so well.
THANK YOU!!!!!!! No more twisting.
Thank you for the great idea to keep the starting chain straight. 😁
Very nice tutorial. Thank you for explaining about not "counting" that last loop when completing a round. Now I know why my stitch counts keep coming up wrong.

Beautiful and easy pattern❤
Mikey that is awesome..you are a great teacher..keep up the great work..
Love this one, you have the best simple and fast projects for family and friends 😊
Brilliant how to join chain.
Cute. And easy! Thanks for sharing!
I love the look of this pattern. It’s also beginners like me. Thank you.
Thank you very much ❤
Beautifully shown, beautiful voice. 👌👌👌
Thanks a lot 😊
Love this pattern💞looks quick and easy but very nice pattern
And this is great for the next craft fair I'm going to! Thank you! Making it with the Latte Cakes and it's turning beautiful!
Fantastic, Mikey! Thank you!
Hi Mikey, thank you for this easy to follow pattern.
Thank you for the tip!
I have one skein of Chic Sheep that I’ve been searching for a project for. This just might do!
Awesome 👏 I’ve been using LYKKE wooden hooks here lately great stitch definition. It’s working great with Caron Simply Soft.

Pretty scarf.
Chain 90 = what length? I'm using a smaller hook/thinner yarn. Thank you.

Great tip! I always worry about twists...Knitting or crocheting...
Hi Mickey. I like your color red is my favor color I will be doing this one
AWESOME video presentation dude . HUGS
Seus trabalhos são maravilhosos . Mas precisa colocar legenda em português.
Well heck! I missed it where you connected the 2 ends . 0H WELL ILL DO it later at the end
How can you tell when to end a row and slip stitch?

Subtitulado por favor...
Are you skipping a stitch when you treble crochet?
It's a cowl for cat or for Chihuahua.😊
Um.......kind of important but missing.......how much yarn is required?
