I was to use the Crab stitch as an edging on the ends of a shawl I’d made for my daughter 2 years ago. She doesn’t like fringe so I told her to bring it by and I’d fix it. I was looking for a refresher and your fantastic video popped up. So amazing yet so simple with no confusing maneuvers. So easy to keep the stitches uniform. Brought back days of baton twirling. Ive loved so many of your offerings and was surprised I wasn’t subscribed soooo I hit that button! Thanks again! WooHoo !
Thank you so much Tamara as usual your tutorial is excellent. Another useful point with this stitch is when your project is on the wrong side for Crab stitch & are going from right to left. I couldn't figure out how to do normal reverse single stitches so this is perfect 💕💕💕
Thank you so much for this. I needed to do a RSC in BLO and could not for the life get it. I came across this and it works perfectly for what I needed it for. Wheels on a Gingerbread train. Again thank you.
You can actually do the twisted in the middle of a pattern without hiding it. Do it in front loop only and then do the next row into the open back loop you left.
Thank you so much! I'm doing the edging on a macaron pillow and I couldn't do the crab stitch. I went up a full hook size and helped a lot with pulling through the twist.
*I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STITCH 💝💝💝!* I ALWAYS HAVE SUCH A HARD TIME WITH THE "CRAB STITCH" 🙈🙈🙈!!! YOUR TALENT IS AMAZING 💝💝💝!!! THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WITH ALL OF US 😊💝!!!
Thank you for the awesome tutorial. You always make learning these new stitches so easy to comprehend for beginners. I always enjoy watching and learning from your tutorials. Btw, this stitch is absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much! I have a pattern that calls for going backwards into the stitch behind you somehow... (my inexperience is showing. :P ) But the outcome looks like this & your method is way easier to understand & accomplish. I thought I was doomed to forsaking the project or having to try to change it somehow. Now I don't & it'll still look the way I hoped. Thanks! (btw: the 2016 CAL has been a real joy and taught me a lot - thx for coordinating something so fun & informative)
@@mooglyblog Love this so gifted. I've tried crab stitch but no joy. This is brilliance at it's best. Your comment above says it is on this channel in double crochet. Would love to do it. I can't find it. Would you leave the link please for the double stitch. Love from Ireland xxx
@@mooglyblog How kind ye are.Thank you for your reply. Very much appreciated. I'm going to use this as my 3rd row on my border on a King size c2c blanket I've just finished. 1st row I did single crochet chain 2 all way around...2nd row 3 double in each chain space. All contrasting colours. Now this 3rd row I'll do the variegated wool I used for the main colour of the blanket. It'll add a grand beautiful and unusual border.9pm here but I'm starting it now can't wait. Go Raibh Maith Agat ( Thank you) Ann Marie xxx
Great question! I don't think it joins well with a slip stitch, so I prefer to cut the yarn and sew the end to the first stitch, mimicking the look of the other stitches.
I like to use the seamless join, I find I can usually sew into the first stitch to create a seamless look: www.mooglyblog.com/crochet-video-tutorial-seamless-finishing-when-working-in-the-round/
+Naseem Uddin This stitch is typically done as a last row (or in the front loop only, with the pattern continuing in the back loop). If you worked another row on top of a row or twisted stitches, the twist would be lost, visually.
too much work :/ think I will stick with good ole fashioned crab...but gawd those furl metal hook are beyond beautiful and might splurge 29 bucks ..but my concern is the handle is it too thick is it heavy anyone have one to respond? love the look of that new 24/cotton but didn't realize it was so thin I like it I need some thinner cotton

I can't wait to use it. I have crocheted for 40yrs. I have never seen the crab stitch... Thank you.

Thank you Tamara! This is more fun than crab stitch...and easier than going backwards.
What a beautiful edging stitch!! I get so frustrated with the crab stitch and this tutorial is perfect!! Thank you for sharing your talents! :)
Thanks so much I was looking for the perfect twisted stitch to finish my blanket. It looks so clean!
Great video and instruction as always. I must compliment you on your excellent voice skills, calm demeanor and clear instructions.
Nice to see there's a nice looking alternative to the crab stitch, will give it a try on a basket I'm making! Thanks, Tamara!
Thank goodness! Alternative to the crab stitch! I have a very hard time with the crab stitch. Thank you!

FANTASTIC! Hate the crab stitch! This is so much easier! Thanks!

I would love to see an example of this!
Thank you so much! I'm doing the edging on a macaron pillow and I couldn't do the crab stitch. I went up a full hook size and helped a lot with pulling through the twist.
I wondered if going up a hook size would help, too. Thanks!
Thanks so much! Never saw this stitch before until a tiny preemie pattern called for it as the last round of a hat.

mommymoses2003. The link for the double crochet is down below in my comments just in case you're still interested.
So much easier than attempting the crab stitch….👍🏻
So awesome thank you !!!!!!!
Amazing voice.
When it comes to the corners do you just put in 1 twisted sc or would you put 2 stitches in the corner?
I've tried it a couple different ways now, and usually, 3 in the corner works best. :)
Haha I just found this, now that I'm done with the crab stitch all around my blanket! :D
Easy thank you
Thanks for tip
Kul video. Besøk oss
looks great. I have done the crab st/rev sc and its good. Can you crochet into this twisted sc or is it just a finishing row as is the rev sc.
You can crochet into it, though I do think it hides the effect quite a bit. :)
How do you end off this stitch if working in a round?
Great question! I don't think it joins well with a slip stitch, so I prefer to cut the yarn and sew the end to the first stitch, mimicking the look of the other stitches.
When you get all the way back around how do you join?
I like to use the seamless join, I find I can usually sew into the first stitch to create a seamless look: www.mooglyblog.com/crochet-video-tutorial-seamless-finishing-when-working-in-the-round/
@@mooglyblog How do you know which ones are the top 2 loops since everything is twisted around?
👍👍👍👍
How u do the second row?
+Naseem Uddin This stitch is typically done as a last row (or in the front loop only, with the pattern continuing in the back loop). If you worked another row on top of a row or twisted stitches, the twist would be lost, visually.
Could eny one do a zig zag stich please from jodie

and if yes can you saw us
cute but time-consuming

I think everyone has a favorite! :) I like the thicker hook as it helps prevent hand cramps and is more ergonomic, but again, to each their own! :)
