How-to: Crochet around Fleece Fabric (using the Skip Stitch Blade)

[@handmadebylayne]

This is the EXACT video I needed. I'm literally about to crochet around fleece! Thank you!!

[@janphillipps2367]

This is great. I have fleece to make blankets for my fur babies. I was just going to fold the edges over and sew them with a sewing machine. This looks much better. Thank you.🐶🐶

[@kasugaifox8571]

I always wondered how this was done. Thank you. Now I have my next project. 🙂

[@dec2057]

Awesome tutorial. I loved that you went at a normal pace so it was easy to quickly see what needed to done. This is an excellent tutorial with clear easy to follow information and visuals. I am giving the link to all our charity volunteers. Thanks so much!

[@pattimoose1]

Loved the video!!! You explained everything great!! wish we could see the finish product, but went to your blog!

[@iamthediz]

I wish I'd know about the skip stitch blade before I bought the fiskers one XD The #3 will be perfect for my sized hook!

[@sweetefelicity]

I didn't know there were blades like this; thank you for the tutorial!

[@Erin_NM]

I didn’t know that blade existed! Thank you!

[@oh72911]

Awesome tips and tricks, i will use them on my next project!

[@bevdreyer2568]

Followed the first roung, but going too fast, can't see where you are putting the crochet hook for the second round, I am a complete beginner!

[@melaniesmith1313]

Looks like she is doing a single crochet in each stitch. The top of the stitches look like a V. She does go very fast, not good for teaching beginners. Luckily, there are others on KZbin who specialize in teaching beginners. After you master those, you can come back to this.

[@maureenkearns5376]

Very good video but I’m new to crocheting and when you were doing the second row, it was too fast for me. Maybe it’s me. But I do like the rounded corners better than some of the other videos I’ve seen.

[@karenlewkowitz5858]

Love this! Cute hook too!

[@Nicoledaly87]

Hey thank you for the video, this was awesome! I was wondering to do the crocheted toppers on dishtowels, could you use that blade to make holes across the dishtowel? I have been just punching the darning needle through to make my holes. Thank you :)

[@gailrussell9104]

Dishtowels will ravel if you cut the threads. You can use a large needle and blanket stitch then crochet later.

[@debbittybears]

where'd you get the cute hook? (thanks to this video I bought a rotary cutter, a skip cutter, and the fleece, AND the mat...lol

[@gailrussell9104]

Me too!

[@mariakauflin2523]

Thank you for showing us how to do this! One question... my shell row won’t lay completely flat, it kind of looks like a ruffle. I’m crocheting loosely and adding a chain after each shell and slip stitch to try and correct this. Would you have any other tips to help this issue? Thanks!

[@courtneyshanahan8908]

So pretty. Wish was slower on the shell part so could see what you’re doing

[@GrammyClaire]

I just purchased Fiskars perforating blade and find it is not cutting through either fleece or fabric. Did you find the same issue?

[@jilllovesbeegees70]

Maybe I missed it but how come you don’t use the skip stitch blade tool instead recommend the Fiskar‘s one to use with the skip stitch blade?

[@cariannedolan4475]

How do you secure in the yarn? When you first begin, after pulling it through? And also when starting a new color?

[@LIAISAGREENBEL]

Woah you’re so fast 😧 neat !

[@sarahtracy4395]

I had trouble doing my 2nd row. I couldn't get my hook into my chains and I can't tell from the video if she's going into the chain stitch or underneath??

[@mariannenelson]

I had the same question. She says every stitch but does that mean in the chains between the SC also? I couldn't tell by watching.

[@bobgade6733]

I imagine you can pick up the cut wheel at dominoes pizza as that's for the pizza seams to always be cut

[@lauratibbles6598]

This is what I need

[@joncampos1412]

When u start the second row, are you going into the original holes? I couldn’t tell cause you crochet at the speed of sound. Lol

[@Justme-pe8bt]

She is not going into the holes on the 2nd row. She goes into the first row, as you would do with a crocheted piece

[@Monica63375]

You can go to settings and change the playback speed, it helps a lot.

[@janeinglish1980]

Where did you purchase your crochet hooks with the nice little handle? I'm a beginner and this looks easy enough. Definitely will try. But first I have to get the Skip Stitch Blade.

[@anitamelton259]

I want to know if you can do two layers together? Or do I cut them separately and the holes will line up to crochet?

[@kathytoppe4392]

You can do two layers together. I just did a large blanket with two layers. Worked great.

[@anajones3202]

This is a great idea for the edges, unfortunately i cant find the blades used on this project ☹

[@melindamoreland1607]

Walmart has the blades by the rotary cutters

[@dec2057]

You are looking for the Fiskars perforating blade at Walmart or Amazon. I just ordered mine from here: www.amazon.com/Fiskars-193610-1001-Perforating-Rotary-Replacement/dp/B06Y4HVRHW/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=perforating+blade&qid=1559001780&refinements=p_72%3A2661618011%2Cp_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=gateway&sr=8-3

[@christinarogers8285]

love your needle!

[@erikagholston6610]

I need to purchase one of those blades.

[@sylviah1234]

everyone does fleece..how about flannel baby blanket with trim..crochet :)

[@tulintascoglu4288]

Thank you!

[@perfectfan2006]

could this work for towels also?

[@wendykrzak7304]

Joanne fabrics blade works good.

[@StitchUponAStarr]

can you tell me what one you got or post link please?

[@oh72911]

this blade is good . June Tailor Wide Skip Rotary Cutting Blade 45Mm www.joann.com/june-tailor-wide-skip-rotary-cutting-blade-45mm/14137798.html

[@uroojqayoom8317]

Hi can you please send me the link to the cutter

[@michellenash6802]

So cute!! Ty!!!

[@maxinedavis5902]

What’s the name of the thing you use to punch the holes

[@carmenmuniz3663]

Where I can find that lovely hook?

[@anajones3202]

I tried this, went to the storw and bought all the tools, and the blade was difficult to find and finally when i started to cut, it only made visible holes on one side only, the other side doesnt, the blade doesnt make holes ☹ I should have never tried this.....

[@gailrussell9104]

I used a see thru quilt ruler and a soluble fabric pen to mark 1/2" places for holes.Then I used an awl to punch the holes.

[@WhateverHunterLiz]

When you do the second, single crochet on the corner do you chain one again?

[@thelonerabbit1537]

yes :)

[@annawolden34]

Too fast for me, I am trying to learn. Thanks for the video.

[@freezo244]

Go up to settings: Playback speeds. Set it to 75% or even 50%

[@maryannmoreno494]

Very nice

[@ninabiesinger5133]

Loved your ideas, just too fast for me!

[@bdozler9]

Why didn’t you turn the edges over and and sew a seam Then start the crochet???

[@pearltears8039]

every time you said Cornerhole......... made me think of bevis and butthead......lol

[@joerethalawrence9286]

Nice

[@distinctivefabric3083]

I'll try this techniqque

[@LisaCSCO]

You blocked out the audio and video with your head when you went to show how you cut the fabric and you went to fast to see exactly what you were doing. If you're trying to learn this video is not for you.

[@inhim4158]

Like your video but you go way too fast. We need to see closer your crocheting and slower.

[@michelebourdeaux5591]

C joli mais crocheter trop vite on ne peut rien voir...😢

[@alivnism]

Wow, too fast for beginners like me to follow

[@alivnism]

*whoa

[@ademaulina452]

That will better if you go bit slower, for beginners to learn.

[@melbalugo]

Icant find the web site

[@grammyn2]

I thought the Caron yarn only split and separated for me. It is so soft and color choice is great, but I hate when it splits! BTW, I bought my skip stitch blade from skipstitch.com . I love mine, plus she is the one that basically invented it, small town America!

[@Barb5000]

skipstitch.com

[@barbararivera2380]

:)

[@bethanyshepherd6454]

not much of a tutorial if you go so fast we cant follow. I guess I need to find someone who goes slower (for beginners) to follow in their tutorial. looks nice though. thanks!

[@oh72911]

if you click on the little gear on the bottom right of the video, you can adjust the speed to .25x, which is super slow =)

[@forahigherlove]

Bethany Shepherd how slow does she have to go. If she's too fast maybe this is too advanced for You

[@Liz4Gush]

For this tutorial you need to know the basic stitches: chain, single crochet and double crochet. Learn those by heart, then come back here to learn how to do this border.

[@jenniferbatista9415]

For a beginner wanting to learn how to do this, you go too fast!

[@LITTLEAIKENFAN]

Way to fast, your head was in the way, doing a corner was to fast. Yes I know one can slow down video but we shouldn’t have to. Couldn’t see the very beginning of cutting because your head covered what you were doing. Do you start cutting right at the edge or how far in?

[@andreatucker7200]

You went way to fast!
