Thank you so much for this! I am a knitter at heart so crocheting is very confusing without all the tiny details people tend to not mention . Your video helped a ton. The pattern I was following said to single crochet, but hers looked like stockinette stitch! I followed it for a while before tearing it out and researching my theory. You’re a savior!
this is so great!!!!!! i hate it when i find a cool stitch but i can’t use it because i don’t know how to decrease or increase it so thank you so much for including that in your videos! i’m subscribing :)
Thank you so much for this! I watched a couple of tutorials on this stitch but never was able to do it, because I crochet really tight and no one mentioned that this stitch needs to be loose.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m a new crocheter working with this stitch for the first time, and your instructions were so clear and so so helpful!
Great video Rose! Your voice is clear. Your language precise and you come across as warm yet informative. I learned this stitch your presented so quickly!
Thank you, you explained everything so clearly.. I only like how the stitch looks in the round & not how in all videos I have seen that it is not as nice or the same when it is done with the flat crocheting.. so I tried something different & it works & looks exactly the same as when you do it in the continuous round .. you just have to finish off at the end of each row .. & start again at the beginning of the row ( a bit like when you change colours, you have loose ends on each side but they can be crocheted in when you do a border) that way you can use it for both ways when making a cardigan etc & the stitches are all exactly the same.
Yes!!!! It took me a minute to figure out that the stitches will "spiral" in whichever direction you're working if you don't finish and start a new round every time you work a new row. There's a tunisian crochet stitch that can be worked flat and looks just like knitting as well, but I haven't tried it out yet. I'm just glad you found the video helpful, though! Thanks for the comment!
I love this! Can you show this stitch in the round for a raglan to show the increase in that way? And if you can do alternating waist coat to SC that looks like faux brioche that’d be amazing!
Did that tutorial get posted somewhere? I am also interested in it. Thank you for teaching me think knit stitch. I have been crocheting over thirty years and have never used this stitch. I know how to knit but it takes way too long. And once I drop a stitch, oh lawd, it’s all over. Lol.
Excellent explanation and demonstration - thank you! I love the shiny super bulky yarn you are using - can you share the brand and where to purchase it?
This video was really helpful! I am making a cat eared beanie with this stitch and had to find how to decrease. Only thing is that there are very large holes forming when I did the decrease, any advice on how to fix that? Thanks! 💓
Decreases are definitely trickier with the waistcoat stitch, and I haven't found a way to make them totally invisible. I find that I usually have to use more tension on the decreases, but since I don't have time to record a follow-up video, I'd suggest checking out With Alex's tutorial on waistcoat stitch decreasing! 🥰 Good luck, and thanks so much! ua-cam.com/video/7spn2ZoL9cE/v-deo.html
I have a question for you. If I am crocheting a hat and I go through the increases in the round do I enter both increased stitches. Say I have one sc and 2sc into next stitch. I completed that pattern all around. Now I'm starting new row. I come up to my 2sc in one space do I sc into both SC separately. Or is the SC just once through the double legs because there will be four legs not two.
Yes, you would enter both stitches! The trick to the split stitch is to NOT crochet between the “v’s” but into the center of each stitch. I HATE counting stitches, but for the first couple of hats I made, it really helped. Increases and decreases still trip me up all the time 😅 just to clarify, sc into both SC separately.
Will this work with double crochet? If doing Half double crochet can I join the chain, work the first round of half double crochet then start with the spit stitch in round 2?
Any advice for someone trying to use this stitch to make beenie out of 550 cord? It doesn't have the stretch like yarn does so makes it very troublesome to work.
I haven't done a lot of work with that kind of cord, but I'd say try experimenting with different hook sizes, and be sure to keep your tension extra loose when you're doing your stitches. Let me know what you figure out, and good luck with your project! 🥰🥰🥰
Fortunately, there's music playing and it's very pleasant! I love it when UA-camrs add a little ambience to the background of their videos. I feel like it helps enhance the viewing experience
This stitch is wonderful with chunky yarn and so relaxing to work with. Now doing this with sock yarn? What a nightmare. Cannot get past the first single crochet round 😭 I’ve tried about 20 times and I fell defeated. Any tips? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
OOF, I have an incredibly hard time with sock yarn in general, so i feel your pain. A smaller hook might help (some of the metal hooks seem to have more pointed ends, which helps to get through that first row of SC's.) Other than that, I'd try loosening your tension as much as you possibly can. Good luck! 😭 And please let me know how it goes!
Sorry, I should have clarified better in the video! When you crochet this stitch flat, the "v" shapes in the stitches are less defined, but it's still looks nice! Just not quite as clean as when you work it in the round.
Hey, sorry this video wasn't helpful for you! I know the stitch can be frustrating to learn at first. It definitely took me some time to get a feel for. I'd recommend doing this stitch in the round first, and then moving on to doing it flat. It's a lot easier to do in rounds. I'm trying to get better at filming and editing these videos, so your feedback really helps! Thanks!
Unfortunately there’s music playing and it’s very distracting! Not sure why youtubers feel the need to add music that does not enhance the viewing experience, but does the exact opposite.
stop and smell the roses, sherri. the music was a lovely choice, and it doesnt take away from how clear and wonderful this tutorial was, and for how cool of a stitch this is as well!

Her voice is clearly louder than the music. Go take ya some ADHD meds since you can't focus or a chill pill for your complaining. It's clearly a you problem and not the creator duh.

Hi Emily, use a hook one or two hook sizes bigger as recomended on you yarn banderole.
Thank u for the detailed tutorial and including the increase and decrease. Greatly appreciate u sharing ur talent and knowledge!

This is the best tutorial for this stitch. Thank you so much❤️
You are a Great crocheting Artist. Thank you for sharing. Learning took place
thank you! this is so in depth I already feel like I can do this ❤
What kind of yarn did you use it looked like Bernal. Decor
Was about to make a cardigan with this stitch! Thank you for warning us that it's a yarn eater! Will look for another stitch type
Thank you so much! The video that the mittens I'm working on doesn't explain this stich well. I got so confused.
Came for the increase/decrease, stayed because I love geek intersectionality :-). Now I'm off to find that Link hat, because hubby is a HUGE LOZ fan!
GOLLY thanks! Glad you enjoyed! I seriously need to finish that hat tutorial…i’ll get right on that!!!!
@rosefiasco yes please please do the hat❤

It’s the Yarn Bee Scrub-Ology from Hobby Lobby. If you can’t (or don’t want to) get it directly from them, I’ve seen people re-selling it on Etsy! ;)
What’s the brand and color of this yarn? It’s beautiful 😍

hiii thanks for the help!! i hope you’re still active:)) i was so excited when you said youd have a link hat tutorial
Thank you for the kind words!!! Yes, that tutorial is coming soon haha 🤦♀️
Super helpful. Thank you!

Je ne savais pas faire les diminutions cela va bien m'aider pour faire mes Amigurumis
🤗
Great tutorial. Thank u so much!
Thank you for your clarity!!
What type of yarn is being used in the video? It’s BEAUTIFUL 😍
It's Yarn Bee's "Scrubology" Yarn! It's one of my favorites!
Will this work with double crochet? If doing Half double crochet can I join the chain, work the first round of half double crochet then start with the spit stitch in round 2?
You CAN split a double crochet stitch, but it's not going to look quite the same. You could still get some interesting effects, though!
@@rolohooks okay thank you! I'll try it and see!
Excellent and VERY helpful vid. Kudos!!
Thank you! I have subscribed!
Great tips & tutorial. Thanks
how do you close the foundation row with the tail?? you didn’t show it

I’m not clear on how crocheting the stitch flat looks different.

I can't believe I just tried to learn this using black yarn 😂
@@maureenwong good lighting is helpful with black yarn, but it definitely helps to learn with something bright lol!!! You got this! 🧶
why did you skip how to do the second row? this video was very confusing and didn’t really show you how to do the stitch
