I have made some wonderful blankets for my grandsons and that's enough for me. Have a great day/night xo

have you tried to use a hook yet. even just practicing holding a hook without even crocheting can help. the only way you will get used to using a hook is to actually crochet with it. you first project won't be perfect but you will have finished something. practice, practice, practice. that is how you will be able to get better

Hi Clare! Great video! I have been crocheting for so long (off and on over 50 years) and don’t usually make this mistake. Recently, Lo and behold I was looking at an afghan I have been working on off and on and saw that the edge was getting smaller on one side! Sure enough I had to rip out about 40 rows because I wasn’t paying attention. I just had to laugh. It happens to us all I think! It wasn’t the first time and it probably won’t be the last!😀

hello Rach, almost all of my videos and designs are suitable for beginners but you can always start with afghans as they use mainly one or two stitches to make. you can also check out the section on my website for cowls and scarves. www.bobwilson123.org/afghans--granny-squares.html

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

I love this tip. I have made and continue to make the wobbly shape. A teacher I had taught me the stitch marker tip and it changed my world. I think the question is aways about the chain at the beginning of a row, is it a stitch or not. Some patterns will say. Anyway, thank you for this helpful video!

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

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.

Yes i made this mistake and it is not easy to see the stitch. Will try your method, I have always counted the stitches but found that on first row there is 20 turned 1 chain into 1st to end counted stitches and there is always 19 sometimes 18 it is driving me mad. I realised it was at the end of a row did 10 rows. Work was straight finished there until next day started again and started to end up with missing stitches again. Don’t you loose one stitch on first row of chain therefore you are only working on 19 stitches? I adjusted this by making a 21 chain don’t know if this is correct but it worked for me. Glad I found you I was just about to give up and go back to knitting.

hi, no you are not losing one stitch each row. your starting chains almost always count as your first stitch unless otherwise stated in the pattern ie-{(chain 3, dc into each stitch across)(ch1, sc into each stitch across)}, the mistake usually is happening with either missing that first space or the very last one. you should also be making your last stitch into the turning chains from the row below. your patterns will usually state this. that is why it is always good to count every row to make sure no stitches were missed.

It's a lovely torquoise colour in eight ply, and would you use a bigger hook?. If you could help me it would be most helpful. Thankyou. Ros Lyle. WA.

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 ?
@CrochetwithClare
@CrochetwithClare 9 ай бұрын
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.

I'm not adding or losing stitches, and all 4 sides of my lapghan are straight. I'm using Patons Shetland Chunky (75% acylic, 25% wool) and a 6mm hook. The problem is the piece is no longer a rectangle but has become a parallelogram - the whole thing is slanted EVENLY on both sides, to the right. I've blocked it (steam) which straightened it somewhat but with handling it's creeping back to become slanted. The pattern is a 2 row repeat - row 1 is DC V stitches (2 DC, SK ,2DC) and row 2 is SC all across with a SCdec in last 2 st so row 1 will work. Any thoughts on what's happening?
