Spent two days trying to learn this stitch unsuccessfully for this another video im following. You taught it to me in 2 minutes. Thanks a lot.

[@debjordan4399]

Thank you, This is a great tutorial for this stitch. Beautiful.

[@carolynflores1495]

Mikey you have done it again. I love this stitch and I learned in less than five minutes 😊 Thanks again

[@SophieTrudel]

Wow !!!! J’adore votre façon d’enseigner. La vidéo est très claire aussi. C’est très apprécié 💖

[@happylittleloozer3565]

Thank you so much! This is such straightforward instruction video, so easy to pick up and learn

[@ginaduncan9607]

Love how you teach. You are such a sweet, gentle soul.

[@t.doughty7389]

you made something so complicated so easy to understand thank you!!

[@kalenreichert]

I love how well you demonstrate the stitch and give us time to practice the stitch. ❤️

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thanks. I am trying to slow down.

[@-Reagan]

This is less awkward, and imo more enjoyable than the double or treble crochet X stitch. This is perfect for double sided projects like scarves or shawls that you want to be reversible or for mesh clothing - Love it! So versatile! Thanks for teaching us to do this so patiently!

[@trollmomjo]

You just gave me the perfect stitch to finish my hat. Thank You and Merry Christmas..."23"

[@judieribic4847]

YOU make me crazy. I’ve been crocheting and knitting and sewing for 59 years. Have 5 sewing machines, three are embroidery Machines. Then I got STUCK ON YOU. I have to try all you do. You have taught me soo much. While my machine is doing a design, I sit and watch you. Thank you for making my life a little challenging.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thank you for your trust to follow me.

[@florencecathcart9588]

Thank you so much for this video! And for going so slowly. You made it so easy to follow. Could never understand i t from written instructions. You're the best!

[@robbybarbaras5412]

This has got to be the best X stitch for a lacy shawl or scarf. Thank you for going slowly through the steps. I wish you had started at the beginning of the chain and showed how to start the second row. BTW, your voice is soothing.

I'm glad to help when I can.

[@lorir.6469]

This is the coolest stitch I have seen in a while. I enjoy your voice. It’s so full of joy! Everytime you mention your mom, I think to myself, “I would love to spend an afternoon with that lady.” She sounds quite lovely. From the things you say about her, I think your expressions and fun ways of remembering steps and stitches come from her.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You are so welcome! My mom knew how to reach me when school teachers were using text book knowledge. She saved me and brought me to adulthood.

[@amandah4834]

Thank you mikey that was a great tutorial very thorough and easy to follow 😊Amanda xx💖your mom sounds awesome 🫖☕️

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

She is a smart cookie.

[@UFOCrochet]

That is a neat stitch pattern. I'm grateful for the video. I would have been so confused with the written pattern alone.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I super appreciate that.

Gracias!!!!!!!😘🇲🇽🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🧡

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thanks so much.

[@sandraouaguena3292]

Oh I wasn’t expecting the stitch to be done like this, not that I know how to do it 🙄 . Interesting and I love it!! Thankyou!!!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Always learning new things.

[@zentierra7803]

I love, love, *love* this! The funny/weird coincidence for me is that I am finishing the back panel of a tunic vest (with med. 4 weight yarn, as a transitional seasonal garment) in a crossroad stitch, which is basically a simple pattern using two full treble stitches to make a two-step, "X" (so that one is over the other. Hope that makes sense). And just a little bit ago, as I finished working on it for today, I was thinking to myself that it would be so lovely to be able to make a less bulky (for lack of a better word) "X" stitch that I could use with lightweight yarn, for a summer vest and...voila! The first thing I see when I open You Tube is this tutorial. Thank you! ♥

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

What are the chances of that?

[@pcavesnana]

Thank you Mikey!! You've made this gorgeous stitch look easy to crochet. I'm going to be using this one a lot! ... I wonder if this could be used between granny squares ... hmmmm

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Try it and see. Only way to know.

[@teresanolasco354]

Thank you. Great tutorial! Can it be made in the round ? And the joining ? Cant figure it out

[@susananderson3478]

Hey Mike been awhile! You are an excellent teacher! Mike could you tell me how soon in advance to get to your cruise or don’t you do those anymore?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

We have retired them Susan. We are doing Travel with the boys and the registration is open for those now. For 2023. thecrochetcrowd.com/welcome-to-crochet-cruises/ We are no longer doing conference portions of events to save money and for you to have a cheaper option.

[@sherryevans709]

Hey Mikey I was wondering could a blanket be made with this stitch and if so could you make a video to show how it's done Thank you so much for being the best teacher ever I have learned so much from you 💞💞💞💞💖💖😉😉😉

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It can be but the yarn needs to be thicker.

[@deannawalker7022]

I love this stitch. It would make a beautiful spring shawl. What yarn and color way are you using in this tutorial?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It's Patons Grace, Light Pink.

[@deannawalker7022]

@@TheCrochetCrowd Thank you so much

[@michelem8686]

I was trying to do this and my brain kept running the DoDoDaDoDo.... DooDooDaDo tune instead. 😂 🎶

[@ycamiller]

I love this stitch. If I want my X to show a little better, could I skip 2 after the first leg and ch 2 after the 3rd leg? If so do I need to adjust my stitch count?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Probably so, try it.

[@georgiahuy5302]

Where can I find the x pattern written directions that follow you? I didn't sit and write it down while I was watching you but I wondered if there were written directions somewhere that I missing

[@florencecathcart9588]

Could you please show how to do the second row of an X stitch? Where do you start the X?

[@user-ux2xp7dt2m]

9:30 a kadar alt sırayı gösterdiniz ,acaba üst sırası nasıl olacaktı merak ettim 🤗

[@arieemetcalf8804]

how do i keep the ends straight

[@eeshaw]

Would love instructions for the beginning of the row.. like the very beginning

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Okay. I have to crochet this woman's top that has this pattern. It's sitting on the studio table for me to film up but I haven't done that yet. I'm sorry.

[@eeshaw]

@@TheCrochetCrowd no worries love the video and appreciate your hard work...

[@ochako_chip_c00ki3z9]

I love how you waited😭

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I sense you are being sarcastic. You can slow me down by using your player settings. Any video on KZbin can be slowed down. You probably already aware how to do it... If not, here's a video on how to change your settings. It's impossible to teach at the speed that everyone loves. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqfXc5mieK6Fbdk

[@ochako_chip_c00ki3z9]

@@TheCrochetCrowd I was being serious 😭🩷 I really admire how you waited for the viewer to catch up. I felt seen! I apologize for the misunderstanding

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thanks.

[@Esmeralda-ml9ns]

😅is hard for me!!!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Just practice.

[@JanScogin]

The stitch instructions were great. A+ But you do not tell the crocheter how to get started on the row, chain 4? Standing triple crochple? or standing double triple crochet? That is a D- (I have over 48 years of crochet experience)
