THANK YOU FOR TAKING ABOUT THE TURNING CHAIN. I’ve watched so many beginner videos and I feel like this is never emphasize. The sides on my squares were always messed up. This is the best explanation video yet. I really appreciate it!
Drops the loop at 6:29, without skipping a beat says "let's do that again" and does it again, no muss no fuss. That's the mark of an unflappable instructor. Thanks so much!
as a beginner, I found it valuable to distinguish between stitches and spaces. I have a good grasp on the stitch types. I appreciate the clarity on the placement types for where stitches can go. Thank you!
I have been crocheting very basically for many years childhood. I’m almost 60 years old. Now that I am retired ,I am enjoying “ learning “ all the new stitches and what the abbreviations mean. I’m a new subscriber and want to say thank you for this awesome tutorial.
I am a complete beginner to crochet, had my first lesson at a friend's and we didn't cover this stitch. Your tutorial is the best I've seen of several videos, thank you so much! Very clear, concise and easy to follow. :)
I love you tube for this reason. I am a visual learner and this helps a lot when starting out in crochet. Patterns are Greek to me but now that I have some basic stitches they a little easier to read.
You have such a pleasant and calming voice. I tend to get really frustrated and impatient learning new stitches and i need a calm teacher. The last woman i watched went so fast and had a very stern and deeper voice and i ended up wanting to throw my phone lol thank you for this video and channel ☺️💕
Thank you for making this very simple to understand. I feel like a lot of videos just go through it without really explaining it all verbally and those of us who are just learning or don't know how to read patterns are left floundering.
@Jennifer- Thanks for giving complete instructions for HDC & more importantly, how to make the transition to the next row. • I haven't crocheted in a really long time. And, just went blank. So, this is a great refresher for me, lol. Thank God for UA-cam, I don't have to ask anyone & look like a fool, lol.
Thank for this very helpful tutorial. I liked how you zoomed in on the stitches, so I could see exactly where to insert my needle. You went through how to make the stitch slowly. The perfect tutorial!! This is invaluable for a beginner like myself!
Thank you for explaining the turning chain stitches. I've watched so many tutorials and I couldn't understand why some used first and some used second stitch ❤
Your videos are really great, especially for beginners! I don't know how many "beginner" videos I watched where these women have a whole damn blanket trying to teach me a stitch....I'm not starting with a blanket, I'm starting with nothing lol This was very helpful. Thank you!!
This video is great for beginners and explains more than just the stitch, does s good gob of explaining how to use it in patterns. Will be watching more videos from this channel as I continue to learn!
You made that so easy to understand. Especially on the turning chain. I just downloaded a hat pattern that I need to follow which has the hdc st and was slightly freaked until your video.
You make it very easy to understand. I didn't know the difference between a stitch versus a space. If you dont know the basics you cant crochet. Thanks for the clarity.
hi! so it's always taught that for the first row we have to go to the chain 3 from the hook to start.But then after that you mentioned the "same pattern", does it count for the second row whether we want to start from the chain 2 or 3 etc? thanks!
Super easy to follow tutorial. Thank you for going slow and describing the difference between stitch and space. One question regarding the single crochet. After the single chain, you went into the third stitch. Why not the first? Is this done only on the first row or should I continue that each time I start a new row.
I'm a knitter, but there's this specific hat I want and the pattern is for crochet so I'm teaching myself how..... do you insert on the 3rd chain everytime? 🥲
I would like to know if the counting of 3 loops or v's is just for the very beginning? So you ever insert hook into the third loop ever again? Thank you! Nancy
just the beginning... I realized I had been doing it the whole time and my yarn length shortened (duh) ...watched another video and they didn't do it..I dont recommend this video for that
Thanks for this. You said to do two (2) chains to start the next row but then said "when we chained 3." The hard part is knowing exactly where to start the LAST stitch.
Question. When you start stitching into the chain, you hook through half of each “link” to start the stitch. When you moved to the second row, you hooked through the underside of the whole link rather than through the middle of it, correct? I just did several rows only hooking through the middle of the stitches and I don’t think it’s right. I guess I’ll keep doing it the way I’ve been doing it since I already messed it up but could you just clarify where exactly you are hooking on/in to each stitch? Beginner here so please forgive me if I don’t have the lingo down. Thanks!
I had to watch the video on mute so I'm not sure, maybe you did address this but: can you please explain why you do not work the stitches into the back bump of the foundation chain? That's the way I was taught and the way I've always done it so I'm curious why you don't, and if it makes a difference... thanks!
Thanks for your video but I have a question. The pattern I'm working on says start 5th chain over do I skip the turn chain or start at the turn chain? Very confused 🤔
THANK YOU FOR TAKING ABOUT THE TURNING CHAIN. I’ve watched so many beginner videos and I feel like this is never emphasize. The sides on my squares were always messed up. This is the best explanation video yet. I really appreciate it!
I too am grateful because not everyone addresses it, and sometimes I get confused.
@@rdawn27 yeah recently found out I've been crocheting wrong because of that.
You are so welcome, I'm glad it helped!
Drops the loop at 6:29, without skipping a beat says "let's do that again" and does it again, no muss no fuss. That's the mark of an unflappable instructor. Thanks so much!
Ikr! It was amazing! No diddle-dallying! It’s so clear and not wordy, only saying what she needs to say!

I am so happy that you have put subtitles as well in all your videos. It makes learning so much more enjoyable. Thank you.

What a good idea!Showing the stitch swatches was really helpful.

Love the way you explain things. I’ve learned more from this video than all the other ones I’ve watched

Thank you so much! I am about half way thru with my first blanket. I always get spooked with the turn around chain but after awhile it's easy.
Loved your video! Your speech is clear and to the point. Your demonstration is easy to see and understand. Thank you!
You are amazing! I have been crocheting for a long time and I learned a lot today. Thank you!

THANK YOU all the tutorials I watched go WAY too fast, also, they make it look really difficult! So thank you so much for this!
Thank you for the information regarding the turninto chain and putting needle in stitch or space. Thanks again!
Thank you for going so slow! Sure easy when you can see and hear instructions!!
I'd never even heard of a half double crochet!! Thank you. Very clear
Best video on how to do this stitch. THANK YOU!
Stitch tute starts at 2:57.
Chela Weitzel thx
Thank you. good grief

Thank you!!!

You’re a WONDERFUL teacher! Thank you so much for this!! Subscribed!

Thanks for the simple and clear beginner instructions.
It is so nice to have such a pleasant voice, and a very good tutorial. No wasted talk. Thank you.
Wow, how simple this was as compared to the written instructions in the pattern I am using to make an afghan.
You made that so easy to understand. Especially on the turning chain. I just downloaded a hat pattern that I need to follow which has the hdc st and was slightly freaked until your video.
You make it very easy to understand. I didn't know the difference between a stitch versus a space. If you dont know the basics you cant crochet. Thanks for the clarity.
Ive watched tons and you're the only one who has broke it down.
Finally, I'm no longer intimidated! Thank you🙂
Your videos are so helpful! I love the way you explain things! Thanks so much!
great video. so patient! and relaxing to watch. Most of the videos are frustrating to watch. Nice job!
everything is very accessible and understandable , thank you for this fine master class!!! 😉
Thanks for showing me the difference between the stitches and the spaces

One question regarding the single crochet. After the single chain, you went into the third stitch. Why not the first? Is this done only on the first row or should I continue that each time I start a new row.
This stitch is so hard!!
Which way gets the straightest edge if you are using bulky yarn?
Hello! Where can I find the rest of the videos for this pattern. I love it btw!
