I've heard of this stitch! I'm really glad you made a video for it, I always find your explanations easiest to understand and follow.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Aw thank you so much! 🥰🧶

[@gracyloupicard]

Robin, I want to thank you for helping me recapture the legacy my grandmother gave me as a girl. She taught me to crochet when I was young, but I forgot over the years and then she passed away in 2020. I wanted to pick it back up in honor of her, but I couldn't remember anything. I tried many other KZbin crochet tutorials and I almost gave up. The way they held their yarn made my hand cramp. And then I found your channel and your natural and comfortable style...and now I have made blankets and amigurumi for my children and am loving every moment of crocheting! I love having this skill from my Grandma again. A piece of her than continues on now, thanks to your excellent teaching and detailed guidance. Thank you, thank you!

[@HookedbyRobin]

That is so beautiful to read Gracy and I am so honoured I could bring you back to crochet.🥰🤗 I am so glad you're enjoying the crochet too.x

I can see making smaller squares out of this stitch with a nice border and do a mock quilt out of it. I just bought a bundle of wool yarn and I may try this technique for a puffy quilt-like afghan. Thank you for your videos, by the way! I just started in Septembef, and I have learned a lot about crochet within the past month because of your videos.

Hello Robin!! I absolutely love this bean stitch. I have crocheted an entire blanket with this stitch...unfortunately, I made the width shorter than I wanted, and I was wondering if you have a border that works with this bean stitch? I sure would love to see a tutorial if you have one. Thanks so very much. I just love your patterns, and you explain everything so easily.

Hi Nicola, there is no set amount as everyone likes different sizes.😀 I tend to eye ball it, chain as wide as I fancy then go from there.

[@Scorpio45Libra]

The bean stitch is one of my favorites........super easy, and oh so squishy!!! Is there a way to straighten out the edges without a border? I suck at borders but not having a straight edge makes me insane, almost like a crookedly hung picture on the wall. 😂😂

You explain everything very clearly and well. I wonder why your demonstration piece looks so much bigger than the piece in the background. Different yarn and hook size?

Robin, what a simple lovely stitch. I’m going to use for an afghan. Do you suggest a border on this? If so what stitches for border. Thanks much! 🧶

[@HookedbyRobin]

I personally quite like the puffy edging as is, however, if you wanted a more traditional border, I'd suggest something simple and plain - a few rounds of sc perhaps? X

@@HookedbyRobin Thanks! I was thinking that, but I usually decide if I put a border after afghan is fully made. I love Keeping it Simple. 🧶

[@LindaLanglitz642]

I like the easy repetition of this stitch. What is the largest weight yarn you recommend? Is 6 too large?

[@HookedbyRobin]

Possibly - you might find the Mini Bean Stitch a better candidate for such thick yarn (although I'd try a small sample first as I've not tried puff type stitches with such a bulky yarn before) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXbRoaihl7iFfKMsi=1U8dMcPNvZNjHzX3

Would it help if you dropped a hook size?

@@robinmoore7202 I tried it last week at s knitting group I wanted a fabric to drape so tried a slightly larger hook than yarn called for and didn't have my other hooks with me at the time. It was a project only going to be done at the groups as I don't have a recipient yet. So Iay try a smaller hook next time.
