Robin, I am a 65 yr old woman, and in my day, it was just something a girl, or young lady was taught to do. I've been crocheting for years now, but I must tell you. . . I have learned more in the past month, watching your videos, than I have my entire life! I have actually WANTED to crochet again~! lol. . Thank you for that! . . Needless to say, pretty much everyone will be getting hand made items for christmas this year! :)

[@HookedbyRobin]

This is the most wonderful comment and makes my job all worth while, thank you so much Lisa! 😃🥰

[@lisawoods9391]

@@HookedbyRobin And THANK YOU! Robin! :)

[@elizabethbuck1556]

Lisa Woods you have written exactly the words l was going to write, except l have quite a few more years. Wish l had met Robin a long time ago. I now think crochet is faster than knitting. Still love both.

[@lisawoods9391]

@@elizabethbuck1556 Exactly! I used to knit as well, in fact, I still do, a bit, but only for scarves, and HUGE needles. lol. . I much prefer to crochet. . Robin teaches so well, and is so patient with "how" she teaches, I much prefer to watch her. lol. .

Hi Robin! I have restarted my blanket 5 times with different v stitch tutorials, and this tutorial is exactly what I needed 😂 I absolutely love this method! Thank you so much!!! I adore your channel 😻😻😻😻

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awh, thank you so much!😃🧶

[@elizabethjury2930]

I taught myself to crochet from a book in the old days before Utube or computers 🙀 At 82 i am thoroughly enjoying your videos and all the new interesting stitches. I prefer the sturdier V stitch. I’m beavering away with the C2C with edging and next i will try the V stitch. Thank you so much for you time and excellent teaching method. Greetings from South Africa 🌻

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hi Elizabeth, that’s amazing and I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos.😃🧶

[@amberstephens6947]

I love to watch your videos. You are slow enough to really understand what is going on. I’m new to crocheting and appreciate your willingness to really explain what is going on in the video. Thank you 😊

[@HookedbyRobin]

That is so kind, thank you Amber! 😃🧶

[@Haunted_Ham365]

This has officially become my favorite v stitch!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yay!😃🧶

[@TiffaniShontelle]

Yes! Yes! This is what I needed to see 🫶🏽 Thank you Mrs. Robin for continuing to bless so many of us, whether you know it or not. My aunt taught me to crotchet when I was roughly 10 years old. The pandemic encouraged me to pick up my needles and thread again after mehhh, 10 years? I am now 28 and according to my aunt.. I have completely taken what she has shown me and took it to another level!!! I hate to be cliché but this is the truth. Your videos have brought me tranquility when the past 2.5 years have been nothing shy of a whirlwind for me. As my generation says, “Your aesthetic is EVERYTHING!” lol. From your high caliber of editing to your clarity when explaining even the most basic stitch.. down to nail color. Phenomenal is an understatement. I just attempted the snowflake last night and was able to work up 2 of those cold boys in 30 minutes with Velvet yarn. Anyway, I pray you and your loved ones have a peaceful, safe and blessed holiday and more. I am grateful 🌻 Never stop teaching.. well, unless you want to of course 😄 Selfishly, I hope it’s no time soon! Thank you 🙏🏽

[@TiffaniShontelle]

Apologies for the long winded essay but all of the above was on my heart. Thank you and happy stitching 😊

[@HookedbyRobin]

"Your aesthetic is everything" is the highest compliment I could receive! I know I should be taking flattery from the teaching side but it's so nice to hear the tiny details that are so deliberate on my end are actually noticed! 😄 Call me shallow but those tiny details are the bits I obess over LOL 🥰🧶 Thank you so much for taking the time to write all that! I genuinely appreciate it xxx

[@TiffaniShontelle]

@@HookedbyRobin You’re more than welcome! You deserve the credit! Us “artists” are sensitive about our crafts even when starting out. Please take it and know that you are truly deserving of such praises!!! There is absolutely nothing wrong with paying attention to details and being confident in your work. That’s what makes or breaks quality, in my opinion. It really is the little things 😊 and I am fortunate to have a great example. You efforts need not go unnoticed and whoever fails to see it.. sucks for them. Missing out big time!!!!!

[@bkdoerge9039]

Miss Robin, I don't know how long you have been at your craft. I am below a beginner and in order to improve my attempt at any needle craft i have watched many many tutorial on the subject without any visible improvement. I am most grateful to you for taking the time to show all of us newbies. Your tutorial is the first I have stumbled upon that I could come close to following your instructions much less actually understand. I'm a visual learner so being able to follow and complete what you are showing. I can never thank you enough for the wisdom , tips and tricks you share during the videos. Please keep up the great work that truly gives hook challenged people like me hope. God bless ❤

I prefer this alternative to the traditional v-stitch method. Your tutorial was perfect and this will be used, down the road, for my next blanket. Thanks for sharing this with us!

You’re welcome Jodie, I’m glad it helps. 😃🤗

[@adrianbryan1275]

Gurl! I know I’m late to the party but thank you for sharing this oh so easy pattern!! It ABSOLUTELY makes sense and when making a baby blanket you don’t want the traditional big gaps that the v stitch will make, so this was a perfect stitch☺️

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hi Adrian, no one is ever too late to the party on my channel.😅🥳 Yes definitely, I’m glad you like it too.

[@sharonhoffman9539]

[@ChrisKsGarden]

As a returning crocheter, I am so happy I found your videos. I hadn't crocheted for many years. But there are 4 young couples in my family who are expecting in April and June. So I pulled out my yarn (yes, I've kept it for years!)and my crochet hooks. I had some patterns that I printed out years ago. Even though I can read patterns, videos are so much easier. And of all the videos I've seen, you are the best instructor. You explain each stitch clearly. I have made a couple of the patterns and they look wonderful! Thank you!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awwh, congratulations to them! Great idea to get back to crochet.😀🥰

[@karenreeves3958]

This is such a cool stitch. I haven’t seen it before but I like how it is tighter than the original v stitch. Thanks for sharing.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Definitely! Especially for blankets it is nicer to have it tighter.😃

[@RoseA.Dewine]

I actually like the look of this way so much better! Love your "byeee" at the end! You're my absolute favorite crochet teacher! You allow your personality to come through!💜💜💜

WOW! I have to take a minute to tell you that I have been crocheting for 50 years and was even a crochet editor for Annie's Attic Publishing for several years. I have never seen or used this particular stitch before today and I am just so amazed. I've had some bulkier type yarn and was in search for a new stitch that created what I wanted and this was the one! I'm using a #5 weight yarn with a K size hook and it's turning out beautifully. I can't thank you enough for sharing with us all.

Thank you for this video. What a wonderful stitch! I started a scrap blanket in this stitch yesterday. And it took me 2 or 3 rows to get the hang of it, but now I can hardly put it down! It's such an easy stitch that gives you a happy feeling. I think it will look as beautiful on a luxurious bed spread as on this scrap blanket. I'm hooked!

[@GrampiesCorner]

I prefer things that do not pull apart and stretch like the traditional v stitch method. My biggest pet peeve in crocheting is the stretch and pull and lack of stitch tension. I can't stand half of the crocheted dishcloths is because the holes get massive as the stretch so bad when wet. As usual, another brilliant tutorial Robin!!!!🥰

[@HookedbyRobin]

Me too Joe and I am glad you like the video.😃🥰

[@Rubilynn22]

I LOVE IT !!!!! when you've been crocheting for some time it's great to learn slight variations, I love the upside down V , so cool, ideal for baby and child blankets and scarves because as you say it's a little more robust to the stretching and wear and tear of young ones, and a few older ones too lol, thank you 😘

I really like it and hope to finish an afghan in time to enter my project for our county fare this year. And I will surely credit you for this variant stitch on the entry form.

Awwh, that sounds great. Good luck with the fair.😃🧶

This is perfect!! It’s like the V Stitch for those of us who are OCD.😂

[@HookedbyRobin]

(I know I’m sooo late😢) But, I’ve got to say, you’ve helped me find my solution to make blankets a whole lot quicker than before. Ive almost finished up one, and, I really love your videos. You inspire me everyday, so I want to thank you for that ❤❤❤❤ And, as a 12 year old, I must say, very impressive, and I love how you make the most simple things seem so beautifully creative, neat and colourful so thank you for that inspiration 😊

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Robin!! I love this stitch! I was looking for a new stitch for a blanket for my niece. PERFECT

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re so welcome Cena, it works so well for blankets! 😃

Curse my brain - now I want to go and figure out how to use this in a v-stitch triangle shawl. (I got this straight away, thanks to your excellent demonstration and explanation. I prefer this to the standard v-stitch.)

[@kellys5731]

My brain went to triangle shawl as well. Great minds. 😉

[@HookedbyRobin]

Have fun making your shawl! 😃🤗

[@user-it7xz9we7l]

I absolutely love this stitch! It was a bit confusing to start out with but now it’s easy

I love the V-stitch, but always felt “wobbly”. I like that this version makes a much more “sturdy” looking stitch. I’ve got 2 shawls in the hopper right now, but this will be my next one … thank you for sharing ❤

[@HookedbyRobin]

It is definitely more sturdy Collette, perfect for a shawl! 😃
