Absolutely the BEST demo of DC Foundation I've seen! Thanks SO much! I think I can actually do it now.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, I struggled to learn that one, thank you for watching

[@tendrluv2]

Love it! I'm in the process of using your cluster v stitch and making a scarf for my aunt for Christmas. The colors are really pretty.

[@calicocado]

That yarn is absolutely gorgeous, I'm envious!

[@andujarmcarmen]

Just to say I finished my scarf and it came out great. Thanks

[@brandiaxell8400]

I think this is my favorite project I have watched from you! Between the absolutely stunning color fade and the stitch -- it's GORGEOUS!

You have beautiful yarn and thanks for being so accurate, it really allowed to get benefit from your videos for beginners (like me;))

[@patfountain11]

This is beautiful! Our winter last year here in Georgia was warm, and, so far this year, it's too warm for scarves and hats. Right now at 3:30 pm on Dec. 27, it's 73 degrees outside.

[@andujarmcarmen]

[@SuperJBFan67]

[@valkiernan8306]

[@tlouis5904]

[@janicedoherty3905]

Beautiful stitch; beautiful yarn! Thank you!

[@tammyt870]

I love your tutorials because you hold your hook just like I do :-)

[@gailmiller7102]

love this pattern..so easy and pretty.

[@MarvinBla]

Thank you for a stich! I've made a scarf for my friend, and it is gorgeous! nd thank you for your videos! They're very useful

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes you can use this to make a circle scarf. Make the foundation chain as wide as you want your scarf ..So make it so that when you put the ends together you have the correct size for your circle) When the foundation chain is long enough, join the start to the end by slip stitching into the FIRST stich. You should have a circle If you have made my Cross stich hat then you will know that after you have joined you have to slip across to the second stitch and do a chain 3 and start you cross stich

[@lizmaynz]

The foundation row is quite stretchy I mean has a soft give to it this had been fun thanks again dear :O)

[@Frayamina]

It looks so soft and nice ! Thank you for the Video :-)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes just use the single crochet foundation, though it may be tighter than the double crochet foundation

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes make a chain of even numbers , just make sure after you crochet the first row of crochet that you still have even numbers :)

[@lolimacanoli]

GRACIAS POR EXPLICAR TAN BIEN Y POR TANTAS LABORES BELLAS QUE NOS ENSEÑAS ! SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO !

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI Sandy, I think it should be possible, I have never tried it myself, I will add it to the list of ideas :)

[@bigsbydog]

I have found when I use a hook that was made from a mold, like plastic hooks they tend to have a seam and tend to split the yarn.. But a machined hook such as in some aluminum, tend to be smooth and let the yarn move smoothly with out catching or splitting the yarn..

[@bigsbydog]

I so so so love this I am going to try this in a baby afghan for my grand daughter. Can I chain an even amount and then double crochet the first row is that what that first row is..I have never seen it done that way before.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, It means you are missing /loosing stitches. Do you have the same amount of stitches that you start with as you do on your last row ?

[@BibiN204]

GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR ESTE VIDEO, ME ENCANTO LA PUNTADA, SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO

[@CrochetwithClare]

If you haven't made a cross stich hat go and watch it and that will show you how to join rows :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes it is the same :) Sometimes when I do the chain and then double crochet back across i get a loose chain so I prefer the foundation version best. You can do what you feel comfortable with :) Thanks for watching

[@GingerRootable]

Love this completely!

[@thingsaboutlife]

It might be what kind of material your hook is made of. The best ones in my opinion is Boye hooks as they are very slick.

[@Gorakhparki]

really so pretty stitch thanks

[@bernie66ful]

Hi, my what a beautiful color. What is that color. I went to the Morris and Sons website but I could only see solid colors.And thank you so much for your tutorials, you make them easy to follow.

[@w.cookiejones7354]

Hello thank you for the tutorial I love this stitch, I must let you know that I used a super chunky yarn with 8 rows and it came out wonderful will making another one with the chunky yarn!

[@mariajosehurtado2430]

Muchas gracias por compartir esta puntada.España😘

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there, Yes it is a crochet cross stitch :)

[@TheBooper73]

I shall try this pattern, I love it...........xo

[@chandramcdaniel5676]

I started my patteren with double crochet, as I began my second row of cross stitches, it startes to bend, and curve, how can I keep it straight.

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI, I think your starting chain may be too tight

[@cpiascik25]

Ok so what is the difference in making the double crochet foundation and doing a regular chain with a double crochet stitch in every chain across? Seems it would have the same outcome or no? Just wondering:) great video and I love this stitch.

[@barbaraengel622]

what a lovely scarf.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you

[@amandaross6827]

can you use a regular row of double crochet with this stitch? or does it have to be the foundation double crochet?

[@sandyghorbani5821]

Not sure where to post my question. :) I have posted in other areas. This looks like the right place. Is their a video (or can it be done) of checkered crochet, black & white? I have request for a scarf, checkered.

[@jorgequezada8338]

i would want to know if you could give a very very easy lesson. i just bought a kit and i can't find a good tutorial so can you please give me a link to a easy one thanks bobwilson123

[@kbootie56]

can you make a circle scarf with this scarf pattern??

[@rcananda]

it is a beautiful stitch tq pm

[@amerislyons3926]

beautiful thank you

[@333DFG]

I disagree that foundation dc makes it less loose. I find when I do it is loose, so I perfer the original way. However doing sc and hdc foundation works better for me.

[@xXLindasFishXx]

How could I do this with a single crochet foundation?

[@darshipurewal703]

that is lovely scarf. i was wondering if i could make blanket with pattern?

[@CrochetwithClare]

darshi purewal Yes for sure, all you need to do is make the starting chain longer :)

[@darshipurewal703]

thank you

[@johnguarnieri4591]

Hi Clare: I've been experimenting with the dc foundation and am having trouble with it. I can't seem to identify the stitches to go back into to make another dc. Thanks. Rosemary

[@CrochetwithClare]

+John Guarnieri Hello Rosemary. When you do the chain before you complete each stitch i recommend putting a stitch maker in the chain after you make it, then complete the stitch, when you are ready to do the next stitch you can see the chain because you marked it with a stitch maker. This is what I did when I learnt, because as you say its hard to remember where the chain is you need to work into :) Hope this helps :)

[@kitkattsclaybabies]

great video..thanks :)

[@kelleydaniels9520]

I took this pattern and changed it a wee bit. I can send a photo when done if you want.

[@susiedecarle7614]

Hello Clare, Is this a fairly easy blanket to make? I am still kind of new at this and I just finished my first blanket. I used the shell stitch and it took me 7 months to complete it.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes it is easy to make :) Depending on your speed will depend on how long it take you to make :)

[@susiedecarle7614]

Is there an easier pattern I should look for?

[@TheBooper73]

Oh! btw where do i find the written directions, please? Thanks, Betty

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Betty Horne hello, here is where you can find the written pattern, www.bobwilson123.org/scarf-cowl-gloves-and-mittens.html

[@debbiemiller927]

HELP!! My scarf is getting narrower as its getting longer!

[@luanne115]

How many skiens of this yaen have you used to make this scarf?

[@CrochetwithClare]

i used two balls of yarn

[@susanssoulshines9847]

Hi Clare, lovely work a usual! I love this stitch and have a question about it that hopefully you can answer. Yolanda Soto Lopez and The Crochet Crowd have videos with a stitch that looks like this one but they call it the "criss cross" stitch. Meladora's Creations For Crochet has one she uses in her Birds of a Feather hat that looks like this same stitch and she calls it same as you, cross stitch. I thought you might find this interesting, too :) thx a lot for any help!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, this could be a similar stitch or the same :)

[@susanssoulshines9847]

ok, thx!
