i have figured out how to do the different colors, one color one side and the other side the other color with the double crochet. haven't figure out the single one yet.
I started the thermal stitch beanie and couldn’t figure out how to count the rows. I must have watched 20 videos, trying to figure it out, until finally, I found this one. You’re awesome Mikey.
That pattern has been in my family a few generations. Its an Awesome pattern. This work grate as potholders. as long as you use 100% cotton. You are awesome Mike
❤Thank you for keeping this video available. I love how this makes a thicker material. Sometimes, it is hard to find thick yarn, so this is a great way to make a project thicker and use the 4 worsted or other yarn that is sold already 😉
My jaw dropped and I said "Whaaaaaat?" When you said that we won't need to turn our work I was like: yeah right how are we gonna crochet!? BUT THEN YOU TURNED IT AROUND BY CROCHETING THE BACK LOOP AT THE TOP AND FRONT LOOP AT THE BOTTOM AND I GENUINELY CRIED OUT IN DISBELIEF THIS IS SO COOL. How am I so excited about crochet!? Thank you for the tutorial! Imma use stitch now.
My first introduction to this style of stitching was about 25 years ago, while making a beaded watchband out of #10 cotton, using a very small steel hook, where only the stitches on one side had the beads. I was amazed at how dense, strong, and sturdy it was, and now use the same method, without beads, to make purse straps, because it resembles a strong flat rope. I have also used this for rug making, using single crochet, in worsted weight cotton, with a G sized hook. I am currently working on a light weight coat, with this stitch method, in half-double crochet.
This is very easy to do in hdc and makes great scarves. I generally make them two different colors (1 color each side0 and it creates fringe at same time.
Hi Mickey , how are you? I love all your videos!! thank you so much for the time you take to show us all beautiful work and your knowledge.This stich would be wonderful for a carpet or small rug.love love love.Thank you so much again !! huge hugs..
Mikey, I found your video on my Google News feed, and I'm very glad that I did! What an excellent stitch! Your video and instructions are so clear. I really appreciate learning this new stitch, and will be making some lap blankets for the veteran's home with this. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Mike... I’m new to your channel. A couple years ago my sister gave me a crocheted wash cloth her mil made. It was really thick and I couldn’t figure out how she did it. I’m trying to get back into crocheting again and wanted to start with small projects for instant gratification. What I really want to make is an oven mitt using this thermal stitch. Not super sure that it can be done but, where there’s a will there’s a way. I will then add some coordinating dish cloths, square potholders, kitchen towels, rugs, coasters, drapes etc. Lots of great suggestions from your fans!
Hi, thank so much for the tutorial. I have been trying to get it down for several days, and was about to give up, thought I would give another tutorial a go, and found yours... I was trying to get it done with a half double crochet, and you are correct it was just too difficult. I have made two so far, and will be doing a few more here shortly. Thanks for taking the time do to the tutorial.
you have always saved my hide when Learning a new stitch.. Just coming to this thermal stitch and boy is there a mess of messes out there to do this.. I like yours best.. the others don't work. lol :)
I tried it out with 2 colors and that works fine. colors change just like normal, so don't finish the last stitch grab the second color and finish the stitch and chain 1. turn your work and put the first color between the 2 loops and single crochet it is a bit difficult to hold the thread in between, but make sure you do not pick up the other color in de stitch. and do the whole row and at the end do not finish the stitch leave the color you were working on and get the other color finish the stitch with it and put other thread between the 2 loops in this time see it better through the 2 colors. ( i posted photo's on Facebook at there account crochetcrowd )
Cool! I knew how to do it with the single crochet, and I wanted to learn how to do it with double crochet, and thanks to you, now I can! 😁 Thanks, Mikey!
Ive been trying to find a stitch that could be used as a weighted blanket. It may not be as heavy but should work. I can't wait to try it. Thanks Mike.
Wonderful stitch, Mikey! Was just thinking I could possibly make my own hot pads with my cotton yarn stash - and here it is!! You never cease to amaze me! 😳
I love this and your explanation is very clear. I thought since it was so dense that the weight of a blanket would be too much, but I made a sample and it isn't.
I have been making potholders with this stitch for the last 3 years, I worked it from watching Ursula Graf's "Double Density Oven Mitts" - Crochet level advanced
I use the single crochet thermal for pot holders using 100% cotton. Works great. The only difference is I use a slip stitch on the closing row instead of a single crochet.
I do the exact same thing. I have made and sold and given away hundreds and hundreds of these pot holders. The heat never comes through these potholders. Also, I chain 33 and then I start my single crochet in the ninth chain from the hook so that there is a loop to hang the potholder up. It makes it look more like a potholder in my opinion. I love seeing the double crochet version though. I've never seen that before.
So, you mentioned having each side a different color. I worked it out. Join the yarn just like normal when you're changing color, CH2 in the new color, the key is to carry the original in the ditch between the two loops. When you insert your hook into the first loop make sure you go over the carried yarn before inserting into the second loop, YO, pull through, DC, repeat. Changing back is similar just complete you last DC, drop that yarn into the ditch, pick up carried yarn and CH2, continue. The carried yarn is a bit visible between stitches, so a sample would be wise before you commit. I wish I could show you mine. I used two very different yarns to judge the technique. If I wasn't looking I doubt I would see it.
Love this - I made a bunch of face scrubbers with this stitch many years ago, and promptly forgot how to do it. Now I can make more! Just made like your washcloth, but only 4x3 inches. Would make a good dish scrubber too in a smaller size, maybe using some of the peaches n cream that has scrubby yarn too.
terrific! I can make a cat pad or rug without using two strands of yarn and still have a really nice thick project. Dealing with 2 strands is a real mess sometimes. Thanks for the tutorial!
Am on the hunt for an extra-dense stitch-which, if crocheted tightly (maybe using a smaller hook), will feel sturdy, and _not stretchy_ . (My original plan for creating a thick rectangle was to make two rectangles in tight single crochet, and sew them together.) Fingers crossed this thermal stitch is thick enough that I won't have to make a second layer!
Have made many afghans using this stitch. The only difference is that I come up from the bottom instead of going from the top. Gives a totally different look.
Change color each row, with two colors and you can get one color on one side and the other color on the other side. Now I know you want to try it so, have fun I am!
Hi Mike. I’ve been using sct to do pot holders for awhile now. So glad to see a tutorial for the dc thermal. Can you show how to use this stitch to do stripes for a blanket? Would you just change yarn like normal? Also, how would you do a decrease with this stitch? I’ve got an RV mattress that I’d love to use this stitch with but the mattress rounds out at the end so I’d like to decrease at that point
To have one side color A and on side color B, work side 1 in color A and side 2 in color B. Carry the non-working yarn on each side. I wish I could show a picture, but I had only a small amount of color mixing on the edge "seam," and otherwise the resulting cloth was one color on each side. It was nice.
I have a question..The piece you showed in the beginning is perfectly square but on the sample it is not square. How do you make it perfectly square? Thank you
Put a stitch in that step stitch at the very end of the 2nd row. Chain one and turn, beginning as usual. Whatever number of stitches you start out with for your row is the number of stitches you should have at the end. Not one less.

Do you do sc then hdc - instead of the dc? Thanks!
I'm hooked, I'm making pot holders, beautiful stitch.
That's a good stitch as a cover for my Frenchie's kennel for the winter.
Hi Mickey , how are you? I love all your videos!! thank you so much for the time you take to show us all beautiful work and your knowledge.This stich would be wonderful for a carpet or small rug.love love love.Thank you so much again !! huge hugs..
When it comes to my dishcloths and bathroom cloths I've always been a fan of the linen stitch, but this may be my new favorite stitch!
Mikey, I found your video on my Google News feed, and I'm very glad that I did! What an excellent stitch! Your video and instructions are so clear. I really appreciate learning this new stitch, and will be making some lap blankets for the veteran's home with this. Thanks for sharing!
I did know about the sc st. but did not know about dc, thank you for showing this.
Thank you Megan for the tip and Mikey for the tutorial
I love the thermal stitch I just finished a placemat it’s a great pattern

COOL STITCH!! THANK YOU 👍❤
Mickey, you are my all time favorite Tutor!!
Thank you Mikey, I was having a little problem with this one but I finally got it!
I love it! Thanks for the tutorial Mike.
Thank you for taking care to explain every step! I am enjoying this!
Cool! I knew how to do it with the single crochet, and I wanted to learn how to do it with double crochet, and thanks to you, now I can! 😁 Thanks, Mikey!
Ive been trying to find a stitch that could be used as a weighted blanket. It may not be as heavy but should work. I can't wait to try it. Thanks Mike.
Yes! I was just thinking that!
You,could also double up a worsted weight yarn and that should be heavy enough
Great stitch, just a bit of a yarn-eater, but it looks really nice and will make a great, thick afghan!
This would be a great stitch for coasters also!
Thank you so much. You have explain to do it very clear.
I love the thermal stitch. Its so dense and heavy.
New bathmat for me😄 I love this,thank you
Thank you for a terrific and step-by-step video. I'm going to use this for a bag strap and probably make your dishcloth too.
I will so be doing this in squares for a thick blanket!
Me, too, for my skinny cold legs. 😊
Wonderful stitch, Mikey! Was just thinking I could possibly make my own hot pads with my cotton yarn stash - and here it is!! You never cease to amaze me! 😳

Excellent.
Thank you MIckey! Really great tutorial. This is a cool stitch. Thanks again!
You're welcome.
Please do a tutorial on a half double crochet thermal Stitch. It will be nice to see what texture it has and give another option.
Love the stitch. Thanks you for sharing.

Thanks, I love the stitch and was wounding how to do double crochet in it. I'll be making lots if lapgaghns for donations with this stitch
I knew this was possible!!
Thank you!
😚
Brilliant!
Have made many afghans using this stitch. The only difference is that I come up from the bottom instead of going from the top. Gives a totally different look.
Beautiful, thanks so much for ur tutorial, looks amazingly beautiful 💕💜
Thank you! I love this!
Amazing. Ty
Amazing! Thank you
Love it! I'm making it!😀
Such a cool idea! Thank you for showing us :)
Thank you for the tutorial!
Suspicious this would be great for sweaters for those of us living in very cold climates... Hmmmm, maybe mittens...
I'm thinking wrist warmers for my arthritis, or fingerless gloves 🙂
Cool! Thank you...😊
Great I love it
Change color each row, with two colors and you can get one color on one side and the other color on the other side. Now I know you want to try it so, have fun I am!
Thank you 😘
THANK YOU
Great for placemats.
Awesome video! Subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks Mikey. I like the stitch. If you were to put a border on it how would you do it ?.
Hi Mike. I’ve been using sct to do pot holders for awhile now. So glad to see a tutorial for the dc thermal. Can you show how to use this stitch to do stripes for a blanket? Would you just change yarn like normal? Also, how would you do a decrease with this stitch? I’ve got an RV mattress that I’d love to use this stitch with but the mattress rounds out at the end so I’d like to decrease at that point
That is wicked thanks for showing us🧶🧶
I was wondering if Changing the colour every row, would it become a double faced progect?
My mind is blown.
Wiill that stich work for making potholders cuz of the thickest????
To have one side color A and on side color B, work side 1 in color A and side 2 in color B. Carry the non-working yarn on each side. I wish I could show a picture, but I had only a small amount of color mixing on the edge "seam," and otherwise the resulting cloth was one color on each side. It was nice.
That's a really thoughtful tip Mikala.
Would make a nice extra thick throw pillow cover for chair/sofa/bed. How would you make it a round /circular shape ??
I have a question..The piece you showed in the beginning is perfectly square but on the sample it is not square. How do you make it perfectly square? Thank you
Put a stitch in that step stitch at the very end of the 2nd row. Chain one and turn, beginning as usual. Whatever number of stitches you start out with for your row is the number of stitches you should have at the end. Not one less.
Can this be done in the round to make a hat?
Hi Mike . Do you know if we can crochet this stitch in round?
Im hoping this stitch might work for a well padded bag handle
👍 nice 🌺🥰💙🙏
