I am so happy to FINALLY have found a freaking video that goes over the confusing differences between the slip stitch and the chest 1 and which ones u skip over to start the join. NO ONE ELSE EXPLAINS THIS IN OTHER VIDEOS! Lol It's been driving me crazy for months! Thank you for explaining and recognizing that beginners may be confused why there's these 2 stitches extra and wether or not we're supposed to use them. Now I can get back to getting projects done and enjoy it knowing I'm doing it right!

[@VincentMo]

Completely agree! I've bookmarked so many other videos that have incomplete instructions, and they contradict each other. This is the only video I've found that explains every step clearly and shows how to count the stitches!

[@emilylouise6798]

I've been struggling for so long, wondering why I'm ending up with extra stitches - only to find out you have to pull the slip stitch to close the round! You saved me

[@diletta-5780]

me too i didn't know that 😭😭

[@diana_rayne]

Yes, that tug to hide the slip stich is the best advice and I've been crocheting in the round for years.

[@bugnbunnymama]

Thank you! Finally, a clear video that shows each step slowly. Your explanations helped so much!

[@hdclark09]

Your explanation is the best I've heard since I've been crocheting. I have been crocheting for maybe 40 years now. Thank you for your time.

[@dianegaspard9932]

Finally! No one else has ever described it the way you do! Thank you so much!

[@a_silver_wolf6028]

Finally! A video where the person takes much more time on how to stitch in the round, count and join the row. Thank you 😊 I struggled so much to understand before seeing this. I've started a round crochet and so far I'm doing far better than before. Thank you so so much ❣️

[@DV-1972]

Fantastic video. The camera work is exceptional . Very clearly explained for crocheters like me who were struggling with counts n joining ..thanks a ton ❣️❣️❣️

[@Misakimedz]

Same here ahahaha im looking for an answers xD

[@sheilaridge3348]

THANK YOU!!! Finally, a video that explains closing a round with a slip stitch in single crochet! Wonderful video! I have been looking all over the internet for a video explaining this in detail!

[@ninanegron6975]

Wow. You explained a lot of this I’ve only guessed on because nobody explained them before. Now I feel like unraveling my other work haha. Anyway thank you. Great tips and explanations.

[@Ella8i8]

Thank you so much! I struggled a lot with whether or not should I work into slipstitch, and my count was always off. You're the first that explained it clearly.

[@afropique]

Your tip about pulling the yarn back to find the slip stitch was a HUGE help. Thank you!

[@b.e.withart9700]

After three years of crochet, this is the first time I understand how to handle a slip stitch. GREAT video. Super clear explanation and visuals. Thank you so much.

[@mariannenelson]

That was the best explanation and I’ve searched and watched many videos. Thank you!

[@lauralazarus2429]

This video is great! Super high def - I can see all the stitches and what's happening. Thanks!

[@annag8894]

Thank you, very much! I finally realized what I’ve been doing wrong. I didn’t know what to do with the chains that don’t count as a stitch (when crocheting in the round or making hats, etc), and I couldn’t find an explanation anywhere until I came across this tutorial. I truly appreciate you taking the time to explain each step.

[@mastimacaroni]

Anna Gerlach I had the same problem :)

[@toshiyaar7885]

Me too!

[@CamilleGG451]

Yep! It's like "which one of those little suckers am I supposed to go into?!" 😄 Glad I found this too!!

[@mariannenelson]

Exactly! She explained it perfectly.

[@i7zha]

Huge thank you for this video! As a beginner who used double crochet to make a circle as a starter, I was so confused on how to join a round for single crochet and this video tackled all my concerns! The trick you did for the slip stitch was a game changer, thank you for making me finally understand! 💗💗

[@kabaom3]

Thank you! I was struggling with this and you did a great job explaining! Best video!

[@katherinemayeurlanda9257]

Thank you for explaining the slip stitch so well in correlation to counting stitches! I searched so many videos trying to look for the answer and you were the only one that explained it so well!

[@justme-on7bn]

This is an excellent video! Not confused about that darn slip stitch anymore ! Thanks so much!

[@veronicalee25]

Thank you so much! There are so many patterns that require a slip stitch and chain at the end of each row. Now I know you don't count these! Thank you so so much!

[@DH-wx4iz]

Thank you so much!! I always ended up with one extra stitch and couldn't figure out why. You are the first video to explain it. I appreciate you!

[@gevigevigevi]

Excellently explained! Thank you so much. It was so frustrating that I had been going so wrong with these particular stitches. Thanks a million!

[@monicamann9881]

Super helpful! - I could not figure out what was happening to the ‘slip stitch’ and thought I was adding one. Now I know how to do this properly (and not go crazy!)

[@virginiawilliams9998]

Working in joined rounds can get very confusing at the joining point! I love your trick of tightening up the turning chain after it's made. I haven't seen that anywhere else! Also, thank you for showing where to place the next stitch after the turning chain. This is THE best video on this subject!

[@Danceswithfishes]

This video is the clearest I've seen. Thank you for taking the time to do such great close-up❤

[@tjoftjof]

This is a great tutorial. Clear explained the method of adding chains. Thank you very much.

[@trishas.2636]

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL. As a long-time knitter, the anatomy of crochet stitches has always vexed me. Now that I’m expecting my first grandchild, I have been looking for information to help me make all the cute things done in crochet. This tutorial takes the time to identify the parts of the stitch and how the needle interacts with each stitch. Thank you so much. I am now a subscriber!

[@maggiem.5904]

I really appreciate you showing so clearly which strands belong to which stitch, where to put your hook, and what to count as a stitch. These little details can cause so many problems, and it’s hard to figure out where you went wrong. Thank you so much!

[@aneb2562]

Finally a clear video on the slip stitch! I have a pattern that requires the slip-stitch and I have not been able to do the pattern. I now have hope I will finally get it right😂 Do not use the slip stitch as a stitch. Got it now. Pull it! Got that as well. Pattern here we come to attack you again😂 Thank you so much!

[@shayemiller80]

I have been struggling with ending rounds on circles. Thank you so much for explaining it so well! 😀

[@donnapage1877]

This video explains how to see the stitches so well, better than any other video I’ve seen. I think the biggest challenge is learning to crochet is seeing the stitches and understanding where to place your hook, how to count the stitches. So well done! Thank you!!

[@toshiyaar7885]

OMG! THANK YOU🙏 I have been so confused about wich stitch to use etc. You are the only crochet person who explains it in such clear detail!!!! Xxx ❤️

[@thefraug3827]

Thank you so much for explaining this! Pulling that slip stitch closed and showing how to find the first stitch by what is underneath is also helpful to do this right. Why do we have a turning chain? I have been crocheting in the round and not slip stitching or putting a turning chain in. I hope you have a video on how to end a round without having distorted stitches and when changing colors.

[@emmellick5856]

Thank you so much. This is the clearest explained video I've seen. You're an awesome teacher 💜 x

[@audreyjohnson4695]

Such an awesome tutorial. Been watching video after video and this is the only one detailed enough to understand, slow enough to follow along, and perfect for learning how to join a circle with a slip stitch! Also showing how to tighten it is awesome!!!!!!!! Thank you

[@ashleycarlyn6760]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! This video majorly cleared up something that I had been doing wrong in joining in the round for years, my joins are much cleaner now!

[@deborahhamsho4799]

Wow! Awesome tutorial!

[@Leykys]

THANK YOU! this video talks about something so simple yet so difficult for us beginners

[@mermaid78ful]

Thank you so very much for this video. Even in a number of different “beginners’ books” that I have , this is not clearly explained. I really appreciate your thorough explanation of which exact stitch to join into. I look forward to watching your next videos.

[@Purpleiris444]

Your explanation is very clear and precise and thorough! I finally know how to figure out the slip stitch and most importantly knowing where the first stitch begins on a round.

[@psychopippi4]

You are an amazing teacher in every way possible. Thanks for teaching me several things I didn't even know I needed to learn!!

[@elaineharris611]

Thankyou,thankyou eventually the slip stitch explained,and no extra stitches.

[@juliegordon6352]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I like the way you explain each and every step without using too many technical terms. From many young Saffricans, we thank you for helping us learn.

[@cindywoods2487]

Thank you for making this so clear. You are a very good teacher. And thank you for adding the hug at the end!

[@lucrecialongshore7997]

[@DV-1972]

Excellent explanation ... Thank you ❣️

[@schwarzedrache]

The bottoms of the feet of my stuffed animals have always been a little janky because of the spiral of crochet in the round. This is a total lifesaver.

[@preethinp]

Thanks for the clear explanation

[@_aiyojunjun_]

thank you so much, i was going crazy bc my stitches keep increasing.. , now i know why haha

[@sheena8869]

[@wyverngem4939]

You're a lifesaver. I've been stuck on a bunny doll for two days trying to figure out what stich to place my slip stich.

[@ofarenaowen8468]

Thank you for this. very helpful and clear. Do you have a tutorial how to increase puff stitches in the round?

[@sandratutsch9739]

As a beginner this was excellent in explaining a concept that has been challenging me. Thank you

[@tamagojiken8672]

thank u so much ♥

[@CamilleGG451]

Thank you so much for this really nicely detailed tutorial! It was very helpful, so thank you!! On a side note- does anyone know why they don't make the head of crochet hooks more pointy?? I know that some are more rounded than others, but why don't they make them "sharper", like say as pointed as a knitting needle? Would be so much easier!

[@Oshroth]

I think it is so you don't split your yarn, just like tapestry needles

[@humanbeing1044]

I want to give u 100s of likes
