How To Crochet An EASY Stitch - Great For Crochet Blankets and Scarfs

[@lindaneff2558]

I am 73 and I have been crocheting since I was 20 years old. You are so thorough and skilled that I can still learn from you, Crystal. And I enjoy just watching and listening to you.😊

[@sharonlikes2416]

Absolutely beautiful! Something shuts down in me when I look at a crochet pattern and try to make sense of it but watching your tutorials I can follow and make beautiful things! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@amydavis4945]

For our beginner crocheters - just a little clarification... although you START by chaining an EVEN number, when you work the single crochet back you will end with an ODD number of stitches - you haven't done anything wrong. For instance, you chain 20 (even), and then work the first row of single crochet back, you will have 19 stitches across. This is correct! :)

[@theresespencer2827]

The reason you lose a stitch - going from 20 to 19 - is you work the first sc into the 2nd chain. This is important to understand if you work up a foundation single crochet, which I prefer for color changing yarns.

[@diannerobinson1075]

Thank you!!! I was wondering what was wrong with my project!

[@greekgrl88]

Thank you! I was thinking great I messed up 😂

[@amydavis4945]

@@theresespencer2827 Yep, exactly. Also something to keep in mind if you DON'T do a "foundation row" of single crochet... like if you are switching to this stitch from another stitch pattern in a project that you are designing yourself.

[@clairewood9607]

Crystal does explain this thoroughly in all her videos xx

[@Me_Ewe_and_Yarn_Cheryl]

I think it's amazing that you have all these stitch patterns in your head. I know you had to learn them when you were young, but I would've forgotten most of them by now if it was me. So I thank you for once again sharing your knowledge with us, and teaching it in an easy to follow manner. It is a very pretty stitch.

[@Me_Ewe_and_Yarn_Cheryl]

@@MARCIA.ZZZZZZ 😂 It's just all yarn overs and pull throughs to me. 😂

[@Me_Ewe_and_Yarn_Cheryl]

@@MARCIA.ZZZZZZ That's a shame. Keep trying and one day it will click. Do you use a stitch marker at the beginning and end of a row? I still do most of the time. It lets me know exactly where to put the first and last stitch.

[@Me_Ewe_and_Yarn_Cheryl]

@@MARCIA.ZZZZZZ I put my stitch marker into the stitch as soon as I've completed it. I put it in through both loops of the stitch that rests just under the loop on the hook. I hope that makes sense. I would be easier to see in a video rather than reading words about how to do it.

[@flash963]

WOW! That is an gorgeous stitch, and you make it amazingly easier for us to follow. You're a Great Tutor! The best!

[@StitchinGranny]

I love this stitch! Thank you!!!!💗🧶. Your tutorials are always so clear!

[@karenlaws3019]

Oh how pretty! I think this stitch will make a beautiful cardigan ❤ Thanks Crystal!

[@GDMCreations]

Hi Crystal. I just started crocheting this as a blanket. It's so easy. I'm using Nako mona Lisa in the same color as you. I bought the yarn when they had the sale and the code you gave us. Thank you very much for all that you do for us. It's much appreciated . Hugs Donna 💙 💙💙💙💙

[@sylviaseri4235]

Thanks for a year of beautiful stitches and projects! So many to choose from. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!

[@MariaMales-k6b]

Yes, So much to choose and not so much time…🎄🇬🇧

[@LindaFraboulet]

You've done it again. Thanks you Crystak!

[@Kriskrafts]

Love this stitch so much, I see a blanket made with this stitch in my future 💕

[@barbaracabrera207]

QUESTION: Would you use a bigger hook to do a blanket?? To give it a better drape?? Austin TX USA

[@kareninman220]

Very pretty stitch! Thank you Crystal for all you do! ❤

[@Pammy_Yolo]

What a pretty stitch😍 Just finished your cowl/neck warmer for a friend of mine & now he wants a cat hat so I'm making that now. Ty Crystal!! ✨✨✨

[@sandratanner8138]

This is a beautiful stitch. I love the texture that it had. Another good one. You go girl

[@jeanhorne5893]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and God bless you and your family.

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Happy holidays!

[@jamiemiesler322]

That’s such a pretty stitch. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@chelleschimmoller6503]

I have 2 baby blankets to make for some friends. I'm going to use this pattern. I love the texture! Beautiful!

[@kristenconner5705]

This stitch is my new personality 😍😍😍 so nice to do something easy AND looks super elegant, I'm tired of boring old double or half double crochet 🤣

[@kerrygauffin2946]

Hi Crystal, I love your tutorials and the photography is also amazing. I’m just a beginner, so those close ups are so vital to us newbies.

[@deborahsthisthat5034]

Crystal!!!! You're almost at 1,000,000 subscribers!!!!!! Woohoooooooo ❤

[@smokeykitty6023]

Just received a knitted scarf from my daughter in the mail. I think I'll use this stitch to crochet her one in return! Love the stitch. I'm new and was able to follow along easily. Thanks so m6ch for all the great videos.

[@crissycrochet2127]

I love all your tutorials! Thank you!! ❤

[@merlinefranchetto2418]

I love this stitch, OH! Crystal, since 2018 I have learnt a lot from your teaching , my hands and feet starting with arthritis, so I have slowed down crochet is coming back in vogue.lovely thank you ❤😊

[@wynamaarp7024]

Though this is not a pattern I want to use, you are my absolute favorite on KZbin to learn patterns from. Right now I’m 3 1/4 off the way finished with a big 3d seashell puff stitch. Soon I’ll be using another of your patterns and several projects from now I’m planning to use your pattern for motifs for a big body blanket for my sister. Thanks for saying in the ones that look intimidating I know this looks complicated but if you can do a double crochet, you got this. You tend to say that right about the time I’m about to say I can’t do that

[@norineblanc8523]

Beautiful. I like how you break down the stitch. You take a stitch that looks complicated and make it do-able. Thank you.

[@joanlemp8270]

I enjoy every crochet showing so precisely how to do every stitch. You are excellent at showing and explaining every detail. I love watching you❤

[@loriroberts8194]

Can't wait to try this one! Thank you Crystal!

[@KimWilliams-p7t]

Going to be the first project of 2024. Thank you!! Beautiful

[@debbiemize1229]

Thanks!

[@nancybailey1635]

Wonderful stitch. 2 row repeat🤩🤩 Thanks so much Crystal.

[@debbiemize1229]

Thanks to you I’m learning how to crochet. I found one of your videos from a year ago and you went slow explaining every step and I was so excited. I thought yes I can do that. I appreciate you and your channel so much and just wanted to say thank you.

[@paulahallman2870]

Wonderful stitch. Once you get into the rhythm, it becomes almost soothing.

[@donnastroud9294]

You always make it look so easy. If i can ever get the chain stitch doone i may be able to do more. I will practice. Thanks for the tutorials.

[@jlkulit]

I swear Crystal, I have a love hate relationship with your crochet tutorials....I 💞them because you're always showing us wonderful stiches and I feel more like an expert every time you teach me a new one. I hate them - because you're constantly showing us new beautiful stiches that I want to drop whatever I'm doing to start the new one I've just learned from you. I HAVE TO FINISH MY WIP's!!!!! - I think at this point I 15 projects because I keep something new from you....😍 - Thank you again for another great tutorial. May you and your family have a wonderful and blessed Christmas.

[@KarenUntz]

Very nice stitch. I'll try this one soon! Thanks Crystal! You are such a great teacher.😊

[@snichols8563]

Crystal, you have so many beautiful stitches to choose from that my mind gets boggled but this stitch really spoke to me. Going out for the yarn today. Thank you for all your work with the rescue animals too.

[@susanlong147]

Looks like a fun stitch. Thank you for sharing.

[@emma-woodhouse-721]

Oh what a gorgeous stitch!! 😍 I’m heading over to my stash right now to grab some yarn and start a blanket. Thanks very much, Crystal! Love this one. ❤

[@kimberlycarmona490]

Is there written instructions? The video is too dark for me to see.😢

[@carriejcrochet]

Beautiful stitch. I've been enjoying your stitch tutorials and people have loved what I've made with them. Thank you!

[@mercedesdeavila6307]

[@goscream1]

Thank you, I love this stitch. I had some ugly yarn lol and I used this stitch. It actually looked really pretty, so afghan here I come. Love your tutorials, so easy to follow.

[@floief]

I love this stitch! Thank you so much. My daughter just passed by and said "oh, that's pretty". I think she's hinting....

[@WilliamAKincaid]

This is stunning stitch. Ill replay it in my save.

[@susanmahaney2456]

This stitch is just what I was looking for. My 15 yr old chi is always cold and needed a new blanket. She only weighs 7 lbs so I wanted a pattern that wouldn't be too heavy but still kept her warm. This is perfect and is so pretty. Thank you Crystal!

[@mariamfaria7727]

[@danamiceli4948]

Love it! Thank you for sharing another beautiful stitch, Crystal!

[@amydavis4945]

Ohhh, I like this a lot!! It's very similar to a stitch I'm using now for the "hood" part of a "turtleneck hood" I'm making. The stitch I'm using is another stitch tutorial you did recently - a 3-stitch cluster without skipping a stitch in the middle. I don't remember the name of it. In fact, if I ever had any criticism for your tutorials, it's that you don't put the name of the stitch in the title (so I can remember them and find them again in my HUGE long playlist of your stitch tutorials I have saved). Thank you so much, Crystal... you always keep something on my hook!

[@TLMaryN]

A new addition to the stitch library. I see a stitch sampler blanket in my future. One block at a time😊. Thank You Crystal for helping improve my skills.🎉 Merry Christmas 🎄

[@craftingadventureswithamy2385]

I love the look of that stitch. I’m making scarves for Warm Up America. I will be using that stitch for my next one. Thank you.

[@KellyValdez-yj6mb]

Thank you for being so generous with your time and knowledge! I first saw/learned this stitch on another creators channel...that creator did not speak at all, did not give the name of the stitch, and for the pattern you had to buy a subscription! I figured it out, mostly, but the edges were all wonky because she didnt explain how to ent the row...That creator does do, beautiful projects but to not even name the stitch seemed wrong to me...i knew you would have a better tutorial, including the info I needed to have nice, straight edges! I literally searched every blanket tutorial you have that looked similar until I found it! Thanks for being you!

[@valeriewoodhouse7817]

i just did a swatch of this stitch as I love it. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your video's XX
