Thank you for the video, im a beginner and I keep making the same mistake! Im starting with sml blankets just to get used to stiches. Will have to undo my work and start again but thats all part of learning. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm brand new and I keep making little "skirts"...ha ha ha!! I think I get it now...we shall see..LOL!
we have all done it. These are all mistakes and problems for every crocheter when starting. keep at it. it will all come naturally soon. Happy Crochet!
...and I thought it was just me....thank you. Stitch markers are GREAT! Dont crochet without, I have developed a habit of using them. When I reach for my yarn and hook i grab them to. Just remember, "stitch markers are my friends, they make me happy" 😉
True me too, because I’m notorious for skipping or adding stitches 😖
Do you use stitch marked with every stitch you make ?
This was very helpful as I was heading towards crocheting a very large triangle. Thank you.👍
Glad it was helpful!

Haha oh no!
I can remember when I started years ago doing that. And honestly, just recently working on a blanket, I couldn’t believe the mess I had made doing it again. I have been crocheting for years and can attest how easy it can be done lol
Ha ha ha! I crocheted my sister a whole blanket like that. Thanks for the great tips.
Iol, I did that too
I literally just did that 😣how did you fix it?
Thank you for this! My first hat has gone all kinds of wrong. I'm gonna try again with your advice!
My first granny square/project turned into a little hat because i lost count. Hehe. I joked with the lady teaching me "oh, so I'm advanced!" Hehehe. Ive since had hats that have looked less like a hat. 😂
I’ve had it happen a few times and my crocheting only improved when I watched this channel.
Thank you SO much - it is Exactlyl what I needed today and with HDC! perfect! time to rip out those rows but.....that's life!
You are talking to me😂 Thank You for Sharing.
God Bless You! My poor Husband has a couple blankets that r unique the edges go in & out but he loves them I guess that's all that matters LOL
Thank you exactly what I needed. I did the majority of a whole blanket that slanted. As usual your videos are so easy to follow. Onto the next blanket!
Currently undoing like 10 rows of work because I made this mistake and didn’t realize. I’m a beginner so I’m grateful for this video! Thank you!!
Thank you Finess Dickson !
Thank you very much . I mostly get it right but it's nice to know I'm not alone in making easy mistakes xo
Hi Molly, yes I do it all the time haha I am sure there are other things I always get wrong, like miss increases and have to frog it
bobwilson123 hi bob , I can mostly hide a mistake or three . Those reached hidden stitches drive me nuts but I so love crochet. It comforted me when I couldn't get out of bed and on days when my body fails me I can pick up some wool and go from there . I have made some wonderful blankets for my grandsons and that's enough for me. Have a great day/night xo
I think I would get it all wonky because some patterns would say ... crochet to end, chain 2, turn, SKIP first double crochet, then continue across. 🤷♀️. I have to admit 🤭. Some baby blankets were off! 😂😂😂🤦♀️. Thanks for the tip! 👍🏻
Thank you! I finally get it now. So glad you made it very clear, and thank you for the encouragement not to give up.
I've been crocheting since I was a kid. Now recently I just bought stitch markers love them; thanks for ur video 💞
I am stiching my crochets as a skirt
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been crocheting for years, but have always had this problem. I think that part of my problem is that I have such a tight gauge. I don't know why I crochet so tightly, but the stitches are so tight that I often cannot tell when I am truly at the end of the row.
Do you have any tips on how I can crochet more loosely?
really practice is the only advice i can give. you can also try using a larger hook as well
bobwilson123 I guess I will just have to keep practicing. Whenever I use a larger hook, the gauge goes wonky and everything goes out of proportion. I'll keep at it. Thanks for the reply. 😊
Keeping my hands farther apart, and in one place helped me. I’d place painters tape on the surface I’m working below as a guide.
It took me years for figure this out!! Thanks for the tutorial.
G'day Mimi Sagadin thank you and you are very welcome, thank you so much for watching my video and for supporting my channel
I've been crocheting for years but I tried a new pattern and just couldn't keep it straight. Tried doing it over and over to make my edges straight that thinned out my yarn.
Maybe now I can try it again???
Thank you for sharing your talent. Imagine how many projects you have inspired all over the world!❤
WOW Sara, I can even imagine ! It would have to be hundreds of thousands. Crochet is awesome isn't it !?
Am just learning and for my 1st project I made that shape.
don't worry it happens to us all in the beginnin
I wish the beginner tutorials out there mentioned using the markers
yeah they're a lot of things that can be added to videos
🙋🏻♀️ I’m here because this keeps happening to me. 😆 I am a beginner. Thank you for this helpful video!
You are very welcome. Keep at it you will get it !
I just had to undo half of a sweater because of this problem. Not fun 😅
Oh gosh no !
Oh it helps alot 😍 from Philippines.
No more frankestein crochet😅🤣 thank you very much!
lol! Yay! You're welcome!
Thank you for watching.
This happened to me yesterday! Ripped it out, will try again today!
You got this!
Thanks for the great demonstration. I’m a beginner and learning from watching UA-cam videos. Yes I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong.
Hi I am commenting because I have somehow managed to add 5+ stitches and I have no idea how, can anyone help, using fluffy yarn so I cant see the stitches very well, I am using single crochet
depending on what you are doing, you may just have to rip back until you reach a row that is correct
@@CrochetwithClare yeah, i redid the entire scarf and it is done now
I wish I could like this video 1000 times. I only started crocheting a couple months ago but I keep coming back to this video every time I take a break in between projects! Thank you :)
aww thank you. I really hope it helps. you will get the hang of everything in no time. Happy Crochet!
Oh thank you so much ping bong it clicked and made sense. Xx
You are very welcome!
just starting out and this really helped. I am more coming out wider instead of staying stright so I am sure I'm adding stitches but the help for the stitch markers is great
G'day Naomi Matheson thank you for your comment, thank you for watching. Yes I would say you are adding stitches :)
Is there a way to fix it without starting over? I've been working on a blanket and reall don't want to start over if I don't have to.
if it's not really noticeable you can always just add or remove the stitch you need. otherwise yes you would have to start over
Always good to refresh...thanks for taking the time to do so.
Yes she is right you are not the only one that did that and nor will be the last one ether.... we all do it... and yes I said it clear do it... we still doing it...
Just started and I'm getting rows straight but for some reason I'm getting holes at the edges as well XP idk what I'm doing wrong
Hello, what stitch are you doing ?
Just watched this. You changed my beginner crochet brain. I watched a lot of videos and couldn't figure out what i was doing wrong. This was my issue l and you fixed it. Thank you. :)
Yay! I am so happy my video helped you
Thank you. This tip helped me a lot , now my edges are straight.
Awesome news Rhonda !
Thank you!
Thanksss I'll try again and hopefully it turnes out good😁😆
Genial!!! Como todo lo que usted hace sería formidable subtitulos en español. Gracias
I have been back and forth with crocheting. I took it up many years ago and did not like the way it looked ( edges not straight) then I took up cross stitch and loved it now I am to old for that ( my eyes are not good enough for the intricate work) so I am determined to do crocheting. Have watched so many videos I am cross eyed. There are so many ways to turn a corner it is confuseing. Everyone out there in crochet land pray for me
This helped so much! I have been so annoyed because I cannot do back and forth crochet lmao. But I was doing awesome in the round. Now I see what I was doing wrong. Thank you. Time to unravel some projects lol 😁
you are welcome. i really hope it helps
Great video. New subscriber 🥰
Thank you and welcome!
Umm, yeah! My work is all wonky. Thank you for such a great teaching video!
Okay now you know my secrets. I still do that . Now I will,use stitch markers when I know where to put them Thanks
The second image made me literally 'LOL " . I have done many a blanket that starts going wonky ! Even though I know pretty much what Im doing it happens !
yes it happens to all of us from time to time. lol! Even me. usually if i am tired
I used to do this a lot when I first started crocheting, great video as always Clare
Thank you Emma !
I learned to turn and stack stitches to keep it straight. I'm lazy to keep putting the stitch marks in and out.
This is exactly how my project looks. I am going to use the stitch markers and COUNT after each row thanks
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for your clear, easy explanations. My first project was a total pyramid, so I watched another video of yours, got it down for my second project, but then it started getting wonky again :( So glad I found this additional tutorial of yours!
you are very welcome!! it happens to us all.
Ahhhhhh! Just starting out and have made several wonky practice pieces. Thought it was impossible and was ready to give up! You've given me hope 😂! Thank you!
i am glad i was able to help. we all go through this stage when first starting
Thank you so much couldn’t figure it out Must get stitch markers
i’ve spent the last 3 days on a shirt and had to redo the whole thing bc of me not knowing how to do this lol (this is my first project tho lol)
it happens to us all. you should have seen some of my early projects
@@CrochetwithClare everything I made turns into trapezoids! Every time! I'll try this when I get home, thank you so much!
Thank You Clare for the tip because I do it all the time. WIP is one stitch short and I know it's from the beginning of the end. LOL
You are very welcome Billie
Thank you for this video! Thank you !
Fabulous. So very easy to understand the Aussie version.
Excellent and clear lesson, Clare! Thanks so much! I'm a beginner and have just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for subbing! Happy crochet!
I know this is 4 years old, but I needed to comment. I have made "wavy" edged blankets and scarves. Now I know what I was doing wrong. Fingers crossed for my next blanket.
Awesome, hope it helps! Also too using a smaller crochet hook when doing the border that can help with ruffling
Thank you for sharing I make animals and hats never blankets bcuz my sides never end up straight and neat looking. Now that I'm trying again to crochet a twin size blanket I hope not to have the problem again.. Thank you
You are very welcome Shanna. I still use stitch markers when making blankets and I have been crocheting for 20+ years. Just takes out the thinking LOL Also if you do not notice for a few rows it saves having to pull out so much work!
I've definitely made that shape before. My best friend taught me to crochet when I was 13. I didn't know anything about making turning chains. My piece went in and out on the sides so bad. I wish I had kept that just to show people that they will get better with practice.
yes it is too bad we have not kept the first thing we made to see how far we have come
I've been crocheting for a while and I started this Afghan with blanket yarn Yes watching TV blah blah yeah it was ridiculous thank you again
You are very welcome!
Oh man! I can attest to this I have been working on a blanket for my daughter in law. Can’t tell you the number of times I have had to undue and restart. I’m thinking again I have some to take out, that darn TV grabs my attention and I find myself starting over one more time. I have always thought stitch markers a pain Now however they may be a pain but they really are a time saver.
stitch markers are lifesavers. so is counting your stitches every row so that you know you have the right amount of stitches
Yes! For many years I made crooked projects. I would lose stitches and try to pick them up later and had very weird looking edges.
Yes, I still do it now if I am not paying attention hehe.
I've been crocheting since 1974 and just learned the linen stitch. I carefully count stitches but end up with at least two extra on each row
Are you maybe accident working into the same stitch as you chain from? This can increase your work on every row
You complicate things.Very confusing.Sorry
what part are you having trouble with? this video is to just show you how to keep your sides straight when you are learning
I made a lovely dish cloth in that same weird shape!… lol! Thank you for sharing… this was very helpful! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best IV ever seen this explained...was about to give up...lol...Ty so much x
G'day amanda Mason thank you so much ! So glad that you saw this video. It is the most common problem for crocheters of all skill levels.
Happy crochet ❤

I make that mistake no matter how hard I try,,,,I think I have it already in the back of my mind that it’s going to be wonky so I do it no matter how hard I try...Crazy ,,right,,thanks
i always count my stitches every single row
Thank you so very much you’re so helpful and God Bless Always 🙏🏽🧶
You are so welcome
is there any way to fix the wonkyness😭 i was fine for a LONG time but it became like this and im almost done crocheting a queen size blanket help
depending on how wonky it is you can just add a border to even it out but if it is really wonky, you will have to rip it back and fix it
My trapezoid crochet shapes have been EPIC! Miigwetch for the tip 😊
Hahha we can get some interesting shapes cant we! Yes this video will help you out
Yup, just tore out a ruana I'm making for Christmas 🎄, twice! Was slanting in on one side.
Oh no!!
My first scarf and umm it's not a known shape but i love it
everyone has that scarf at one point in their crochet journey
My project is straight edges it’s just getting dinner as I keep going and I have no clue what’s happening. Does anyone understand
this could be either tension or you are missing stitches in the middle of your work.
You are the first video that i understand and been searching of how to continue my blanket ;) thanks you so much i am so happy i get it
You are very welcome!
Thanks for the tip. Do you have the video you suggested for the double crochet method?
Yes I have, this video hasn't been released yet (due in a few weeks) I have made it so just you can watch it :) Hope this helps
ua-cam.com/video/0hUBWq6m3TA/v-deo.html
I made a blanket suppose to be about 40 × 40 but the center is like 37 it looks more like a star, what went wrong?
You could have possibly missed a stitch or two is a few rows. You may be able to block it out to an even edge.
Thank you that helps me a lot cuz it always end up I always end up cricket it helps me a lot thank you very much
G'day nancy Simms thank you and you are very welcome, thank you so much for watching my video and for supporting my channel

Haha, I’m a beginner, and my first try looks exactly like that wobbly, stitch-missing thing. I couldn’t figure out where my stitches went, so this was a BIG help! Thank you!
Glad I could help!
If you were following a pattern and followed your way of doing a stitch into the first stitch instead of a chain then into the next how would you incorporate that into the pattern ?
You would just ignore what the pattern tells you for the first stitch.
For example, if the pattern says chain 2 and then half double crochet in the next stitch, ignore the chain 2 and do it this way instead.
Hope that helps. Thank you for watching my video.
thank you so muchh!! this happened to me when i was trying to make a potholder. i kept restarting but still cant make it straight. i was so frustrated i haven't picked up my hook after lmaoo. will be picking it up right now!!! thank youu
Omg. It’s been so frustrating. Thank you.
You are very welcome Moni
I'm making one now... Any way to fix it after the fact?
it really depends on the mess up and how many rows are off. if it is just a couple rows you may be able to get away with it but any more and you may just have to frog back to fix it. you could try to hide it with a border but sometimes that doesn't really help either

I am making a baby blanket. The number of rows, so height of the stitch, is meeting gauge. My blanket is looking like a parallelogram though, even with using a stitch marker and counting the number of stitches in each row, so this is correct. What can I do to correct this please?
Hello. I am not sure why it would be doing that, it could be that the first row was looser and now you are used to the pattern your stitches have evened out.
How many rows have you completed?
@@CrochetwithClare Thank you so much for responding Clare. I figured it out. I had the rows facing me vertically, instead of horizontally. Have a wonderful evening!
I have a hard time keeping my product straight by the 10th row
Pat, did this video help you fix that?
Hiya, thank you so much for that. Very helpful! But do you have any suggestions for how to rectify a project which is currently 'pyramiding' without pulling it out and starting again?? I have already done that once and really don't want to do it again! :( Again, great video. Very clear an informative. Thanks so much.
I am so sorry for the slow reply! I promise I am not usually this slow at responding. Been changing over the website and took longer than expected
Have you been using stitch markers at both ends of your row? Unfortunately it can be very tricky to fix, have you used the same colour for the whole blanket so far?
@@CrochetwithClare Now I'm sorry for the slow reply. I have pulled it out several times since posting that comment!! It is really crazy, but I am having the devils own job with this project!! I have created several blankets, several pairs of fingerless gloves, and my piece de resistance.... a cardigan for my daughter! But this cardigan for me is just driving me nuts! It is a simple (seemingly) rectangle design, then add collar and sleeves. But the measurements never seem to quite work out. I have pulled it out I think 3 or 4 times so far. But, I am not going to let it beat me! Thank you again. Take care x
You got this ! That's the way don't let it beat you!
I can’t thank you enough for this video! Thank you
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching my video
This is so helpful am a beginner making lots of mistakes but this video has helped a lot
i am so happy it helped you. you will be a natural in no time, Happy Crochet!
❤
This is so hilarious because mine looks exactly like the second one
this happens to most people
is there a way i can make it straight? i’m like 15 hours into a project and realized it’s been getting smaller and smaller
That's what I came looking for
unfortunately no, you will have to rip back to the place where it starts getting smaller.
somehow I'm adding a stitch in every row
are you counting your stitches every round?
Do you have a pattern for straight single crochet
What type of pattern are you looking for? Hats, blankets, scarves? I have a lot of different types of patterns that can be done in just single crochet. All you really need for that is the make your chain for whatever you want as long as you want it and then just single crochet across. Make sure to count your stitches every row to prevent shrinkage
Thank you!!
Do you ever help with more complex problems in projects? I am making a vintage crochet dress from a 1970-71 pattern. (It is not nearly as helpful as today's patterns, plus the sizing chart is way different!) That's my problem. I chose a size that should have matched my size, and even had the gauge worked out to size. But, my finished skirt portion is at least 5 inches larger than it should be! I am trying to figure out how to alter it without starting all over. I have searched the internet without success so far. I know without seeing what I am talking about it would be hard to help, but I thought perhaps you had some suggestions on where to go to find help. Thanks so much for your patterns and videos. I have made several of your patterns with success!
i am sorry but from the sounds of it and for the fact that it is a garment you will most likely have to start the entire skirt over. there really isn't a way to alter crochet to fit after a piece or fabric has already been made.
Thanks 😊
