EASY Crochet Stitch For Blankets and Scarfs / Beginner Crochet / Thicket Stitch

[@ijansk]

I am a guy. My mother passed away a month ago. She was a great knitter. Weeks before she fell ill to the hospital I expressed to her my interest in learning how to crochet. She taught me eagerly and happily. I kept practising but when she fell ill I stopped. Now I am resuming and I want to honour my mother by learning more until I become as skilled as my mother. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@cperm1]

My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your mother. That’s a tough one. 😢🙏 Stay with Crystal and you will learn to make anything you ever thought you couldn’t make. She is by far the best crochet teacher I have ever watched. And as a bonus, she’s the sweetest and most humble person. Wishing you much success and pleasure on your crochet journey.

[@skarlettsweb]

I'm so sorry that you lost your mom first of all. That is a pain like no other. I think she would be very proud of you right now because what you were doing is a tribute to her and you couldn't have come to a better group of people and a better teacher, I have been with this group for years and if you want to learn to crochet this is the place to begin. God bless you.

[@toshmarie3499]

Condolences on having 2 say bye 2 ur mom. I'm glad u had da opportunity 2 learn some of da craft from her before her passing. There's lots of ppl who post a slew of info, for u 2 learn more from. Try many of da creations from several sites...there's so much variety available! THAT is something I wish I had done before mine suddenly went 2 her heavenly home...huge regret of mine. I taught myself watching yt vids. P&B

[@angelawilliams4239]

So sorry for your loss. I think it’s wonderful you are learning to crochet, who says it’s just for women? You will love this channel.

[@Scorpio45Libra]

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, but what a beautiful way to honor her. I got my love of crochet from my Mother as well, who passed away almost 1yr. ago. So I can empathize with you. Best of luck on your journey! 💖🙏

Thanks for letting me know this stitch isn’t a yarn eater! I’m more likely to use it for a baby blanket or even a top now. Love your channel 😊

I bought some gorgeous bulky 5 yarn and was searching for a new stitch. Despite crocheting for over forty years I cannot follow written patterns, I love this stitch and how easy it is. I'm super excited to see how it turns out. Using premier puzzle yarn in the color Kickball. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@catherinegadime5149]

I'm not big on making blankets but I needed to make one and I knew if anyone could teach me an easy, pretty, and not bulky blanket ,you could. I love this blanket. It's perfect stitch. Love it. Thank you for teaching us💐💞

[@emma-woodhouse-721]

The yarn you used is perfect for this stitch! Love the way it looks. I’ve seen this as the “Suzette stitch,” but “thicket stitch” is a much better descriptive name. Anyway, thanks for another inspiring tutorial! Gonna have to get some of this yarn & start another blanket using this stitch. Too beautiful to resist! ❤️😁

[@cherb_soco1891]

Oh yes! Treat yourself & get some of that yarn. It's a dream to work with & very soft. I just love it for scarves & hats. 😊

[@MyTube2227A]

This is just a beautiful stitch, thick enough for a blanket, but not stiff like some stitches.

[@hoosierhometeam]

I have a long cardigan with this stitch made with a Pound of Love and I get tons of compliments on it! It is so easy and works up so fast! I appreciate that you used the Mandala Tweed though... it's nice to see how stitches work up in other yarns.

I’m about to make a long oversized cardigan with this stitch too I’m going to use Caron Simply Soft party yarn cuz I have to have sparkle ✨ Hope it turns out well.

[@promise372]

Love this stitch. I had been working on a blanket for almost a year (took unplanned breaks, moved, got a new job which requires a lot of my "free time") i began working on it recently. I was doing a triple stitch. Somehow during this year i forgot where to start the new row. I laid it out and realized i lost stitches in the middle but somehow gained them back. Blanket looks hour glass shaped. I have to start over. .. i decided to find a "quicker, easier" stitch. I began last night (not non stop) but I'm already on row 5. 334 stitches across! Its already looking beautiful. Thank you so mich!

[@terradeloach8540]

Found out I am going to be a grandma and I wanted to crochet a blanket for my new grand-baby. Had no idea where to start. Jess from Roots to Refuge recommended your channel and I am beyond thankful. This stitch looks simple enough for me to make a great gift with. Thank you.

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm a beginner crocheter and wanting to tackle making a temperature blanket this year, but was looking for something other than single crochet for every row. I've been trying different tutorials for different stitches and not having much luck finding something that wasn't going to be do difficult for the task. Then I stumbled across your video and I was able to easily follow along and quickly crochet up a little patch. I'm excited to go start my blanket.

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

This will make a beautiful temperature blanket!! ❤️

[@sallybrauss9379]

Oh. My. Goodness...this is the best blanket stitch EVER! I've done plenty of crocheting, but am by no means accomplished and the afghan I am making is working up more quickly than any other stitch I've ever used. The two things I love most are that it is a pretty mindless stitch pattern and the blanket remains VERY straight, which is something that I've really had trouble with in the past. This would be a great stitch for a baby blanket because you could get it done in no time flat! I also learn by watching crochet videos and this tutorial is excellent. I'll try to remember to post a pic when this blanket is done :)

[@phyllisdevonish859]

I started a baby blanket with it… no holes for little fingers to poke through… nice easy stitch and looking good!

Taught myself to crochet wash cloths last fall. I am inconsistent when crocheting the last stitch on either side. I finally came across your video and I am so glad that I did. I found the video on the thicket stitch and after watching many times felt that I could follow your instructions. I appreciate that you go slow and repeat the stitch and guide me through the stitches. I am pleased with my first (6 inch/40 chains) test piece but I am not picking up the last stitch at the end on each side. My work dips in. Thank you for your video and descriptions - you are the best!

Thank you for explaining and showing a lot of the stitches on the row. Some people just do 2 or 3 and stop. I have memory problems and I can't do complicated stitches because I lose count.

Hey you, and my favorite one to turn to when I want a simple stitch. Making throws for family. This stitch is my favorite.The thicket stitch. No matter what yarn used, it turns out awesome. My trows that I make will be given to my very special peeps. Family, friends and anyone that has thrown a kindly "HELLO" Some one that knows me as I walk into a business. whether it be a gas station, or maybe even a comment in Walmart. Or the waitress that give us a beer after a long days work. You all are appreciated, so very much. This is why I crochet.........to give back. when you give an almost stranger a hand made throw. It will mean the world to them. And they will never forget the moment.

I can't stop using this stitch for washcloths and I keep going back to it for blankets. I have Caron Blossom Cakes 2 in 4 different colors and I think I will use this stitch for a nice big blanket.

Well I watched the tutorial tonight and I'm making my five month old grand son a baby blanket. Nothing fancy and something easy. I live in north Alabama and it gets cold in the winter time. My daughter has lot of beautiful keepsake blankets. The kind that you want to keep spotless forever. That's not what I make. I call it a car blanket. Getting the kids in and out of the cars can be cold. So what i make needs to probably just stay in the car and that way they can just snuggle up while riding to and from day care the grocery store...you get the picture. So im giving this stitch a try instead of making a big granny square. Plus I use very colorful yarn to help learn their colors.

[@edithmeagher8509]

I love that in every video you emphasize that the “chain one” doesn’t count as a stitch. I learned how to crochet by reading a book. It was difficult to follow at times. I wasn’t sure if I should go though the whole stitch or just a part of it. It is so much easier to work when I’ve got a person to watch. I just ordered some rainbow yarn and might very well use this stitch for it. Thanks so much!

I had done something similiar, before, so I decided to just try this without knowing what I was doing. Funny thing.. i even did the single across the first row like you did. Now I know what it is called. I was calling it the" Patti was frustrated and just made up her own stitch" stitch. The real name is much easier to remember. I love the yarn you used for this.
