If you could be actually making the stitches along with the pattern it would help me immensely. I’m a visual learner. Thank you doing this! It’s cleared up a little bit more info for me.
Thank you for explaining this so clearly..I have been crocheting for three years now and consider myself intermediate....I am a visual learner, and have been doing great watching videos and it has been awesome...I realized there are so many beautiful written patterns out there...I found one at the library and was excited to be able to learn something different...but I was so confused...hahhah I thought I was looking at these instructions in a different language...the written patterns are for intermediate, but I think I will have to get the written pattern for beginners just to get familiar with crochet jargon.
Taylor, I’m so glad I found you! I’ve learned so much from watching your tutorial’s and tips. The one thing that really gets me is the chain at the end of the row. Is it a stitch or not. And when the pattern say it is or isn’t what does that mean you do? And what do you do with it when you get to the end of the row? I have not seen anyone explain this in any “beginner” tutorials. Thanks!!
It depends on the project! It’s called the “turning chain” and depending on what stitch you’re usin. it sometimes looks nicer if you skip the first stitch of the row and count the turning chain as a stitch. For example, with single crochet you usually don’t count the chain as a stitch but with taller stitches like double and treble crochet you often count the chain as a the 1st stitch.

I have odd phrase in a pattern for centered buttoned place to hold a book. The phrase is for rows 49-60: SC in every stitch all the way down. Then row 61: SC in the first 16 stitches... What is "stitch all the way down" after 48 regular rows are done?
Hi I find your instructions so informative… I have one pattern instruction that I just can’t understand….. (1 Dec [1 SC from 2 Half ST], 1 SC)* 5 Rep Could you send me this in either video or just hand written instructions? Thanks so much Linda Donnelly Faithful follower
August of 2023- here are 2 rows of a pattern for a bear leg. I need help understanding it. V 13. sc, dec, 11 sc, (dec, sc), dec, 11 sc, dec, sc (31) V 14. 2 sc, dec, 6 sc, (dec, sc), dec, 6 sc, dec, 2 sc (25) Can you help please! You've made it easy to understand!
Is there a notes section in the pattern? Sometimes designers use parenthesis to indicate when multiple stitches are put in the same space (same stitch from previous row). I would definitely take a look at the notes and see if there’s more information that might be helpful! It’s hard to tell from just seeing a couple of rows of a pattern and not knowing the context. Happy to chat more over email bagsbybento@gmail.com
Hi can you help me read these patterns too? (Sc, inc)*3 (2sc, inc)*6 Is the 1st pattern means you have to make a single crochet once and do an increase on the same stitch?
1 increase means 2 loop stitches in one space. So loop stitch 1 in the next stitch, loop stitch 2 in the next stitch. For the next portion, loop stitch 1 in the next 2 stitches and loop stitch 2 in the next stitch. In brackets means to repeat all the steps in the brackets 5 times.
There are so many you tubers trying to teach but have a clue on how to do it…I’ve been looking for someone to just understand the gibberish of crochet instruction and now you are added to the people can’t teach…wayyy too mychbtaking and very little clarity…👎👎👎totally dissapointed
Disappointed that I can read the pattern as you read it. I use my iPhone mostly and making it landscape didn’t really help. Kinda defeated the purpose of the video. Try getting the camera closer in your videos please. I think you have a great teaching personality!

Good feedback! I can definitely do more pattern reading tutorials while crocheting along. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@BagsbyBento you!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS GREAT AND USEFUL INFORMATION🙏✝️❤🧶

It is like a different language! I recommend trying a pattern that also has a video tutorial!
Is there any way you could do a tutorial on gauge? Actually doing swatch, it really would help to see you doing it and explaining it.
Great idea! I'll add that to my list of tutorials!
Super helpful, thank you so much!
This was really helpful!! Been having a hard time understanding brackets and asteriks.

drop the tutorial vid pleasee🙏🏻
Please start crochet series with symbols help for beginners
Thanks a lot!🌷 Could you please tell me if I also start the 11 row with ch 1 , turn or do I immediately start with what written in the row 11
If I understand correctly, You only ch 1, and turn when specifically written!
whats the difference between * and [ ]
Hi can you help me read these patterns too?
(Sc, inc)*3
(2sc, inc)*6
Is the 1st pattern means you have to make a single crochet once and do an increase on the same stitch?
Written out line by line it would be:
SC 1
SC 2 (in same stitch)
Repeat 3 times
First SC and increase are not in the same stitch.
The second one line by line would be:
SC 1
SC 1
SC 2 (in same stitch)
Repeat 6 times
@@BagsbyBento thank youuu!
Row 3-10 ? Does that mean I'm doing 7 rows in total?
Yes!
Hi. Can you help me read this line? Round 4: 1 loop stitch, 1 increase, {2 loop stitches, 1 increase} repeat 5 times.
1 increase means 2 loop stitches in one space. So loop stitch 1 in the next stitch, loop stitch 2 in the next stitch.
For the next portion, loop stitch 1 in the next 2 stitches and loop stitch 2 in the next stitch. In brackets means to repeat all the steps in the brackets 5 times.
