Of all the crochet videos I've watched, you are the first person who holds your thread the same way as I do.

[@sherryduva5263]

Oh my gosh thank you so much! This is definitely intermediate to advance. I never learned to read a pattern correctly

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Glad it was helpful!

[@katangel115]

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Awesome!!

[@CafeLvr13]

Thank you so much for your clear explanation. I was on the struggle bus, but the way you teach was perfect for me!

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

I'm so glad!

[@suzykamps4547]

I agree with Lucy Gornick! This is the best, most explanatory video I've found on how to crochet the Celtic Weave stitch. I have only done 5 rows and my work is already GORGEOUS! This is my favorite texture stitch so far and I've been crocheting for almost 30 years! Thank you so much!

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Wow, thank you!

[@Cloverdoan]

[@philindalittle9350]

I am currently making this with two colors and it is beautiful!!! I really like this video, easy enough to understand, definitely not for beginners though…..

[@mcbradley13]

Thank you so much. I was having a hard time with the pattern instructions and your tutorial helped me figure it out. 😀

Really good and clear tutorial. Was able to get understand and do the Celtic weave. Thanks

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Thank you so much!!

[@tommyebravo8878]

Very nice stitch, planning to make a rectangular shawl. Believe that this stitch would be perfect. Thanks so much.

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

That would be gorgeous!!

[@judithbenton1475]

Your instruction is the easiest I have ever tried to do. Now I am going to try to make a pillow with what I have learned. Thank you ever so much. I've been wanting to understand this for quite some time. Then I can make a baby blanket. Great job

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Awesome!! Thank you!!

[@joancollier4488]

Thank you . That's a very clear and well explained video. T

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Thank you so much!!

[@philomenameyer3812]

I can't wait to do this for a blanket for my soon to be 17yr old great niece. I will be using Barnet velvet yarn variegated. I can see it praying I can do it. LOL The TFPDC is easy but the TBPDC will be tricky. Let me get my cheaters. 🤣Thank U You did explain very good.

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

That will be beautiful!

[@christineholmes2942]

Love love love this tutorial ♥️ love this stitch

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Thank you!

[@gmtegirl]

This is a really nice video. It's easy to follow and your instructions are great. I watched a number of other videos and got totally confused and nearly gave up bu then I found this one! Thank you

[@TheCrochetworld]

Great stitch...Thankyou

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Thank you!

[@comeong1001]

It's not too easy to follow the steps, but repeating to watch makes it better. But may I suggest, that (maybe for the next project) you put the camera a bit closer to your hands in order for us/me to see more details and see where you put your needle? Thank you.

[@bones7132]

just what i needed, thank you! i'm am trying a new pattern and being used to UK terms, it was a little challenging but this was perfect and easy to follow :D

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Glad it was helpful!

[@crocheteveryday3551]

Love it! I am definitely going go try this stitch

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Thank you!

[@sandraandrade3313]

Thank you! This wonderful. I have being following your si ce 2018 with CAL and I have learn a lot from you.

[@rose_brier]

I'm considering making a blanket out of this!

[@fleurgoffings3005]

I'm considering making my personality out of this! :D

[@stephczuprys8071]

I’m currently doing one. Alternating the waffle stick and this. Looks so good!

[@amberm4181]

Such a beautiful stitch!

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

I think so too!

[@Carola-By-The-Bay]

I wonder why double crochets are used in the cross stitch at beginning and end of each row? (Except a row where triples were used…. I wonder if that was a mistake?) I want to learn this stitch. I’ll try again, after Christmas, when I have more time. (This is a clearer video than the first one I tried.) 🌻🐝

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

That was intentional :) It's to make the stitches along the edges tighter so they aren't hanging loosely.

[@annettejohnson5425]

I love it , but it doesnt love me back, that 2 nd row is very tricky like you said. I guess im not catching the skipped back post trebles very well.

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! I wonder if using a larger hook will make is easier for you to see the stitches? :)

[@kayceegreer4418]

Marvelous! Wait a minute. Now you tell me I need to know all this stuff before I do this with you on this video? I thought you were going to show us how. I don't need to know anything if you're about to show me..... Monkey see. Monkey do!

[@doreenchristie1260]

Very good explanation

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Thank you!

[@pearl65]

Nice verbal description but it's helpful when the camera is closer to the work, especiallyfor beginners.Can't see of your stitches.

[@isabellacockburn374]

I would like to learn to crochet the Celtic weave stitch can you give me am pattern to start please

[@abigale5924]

You said do it in multiples of 4, I did 60. I shouldn't be adding 2 for the ends to make up for that stitch that doesn't count, correct?

[@TheRealAM1893]

So I seem to always have trouble with the last stitches of the rows (on any type of stitch really and it always seems to mess up my edges) when you say put a DC in the last stitch it is the last v type stitch and not in the stitches from the chain twos when you ch2 and the turn your work. Not sure if that makes sense hopefully it does. I just want to make sure when I do that last DC I am not supposed to put it in the last chain stitch from the chain two but the stitch right in front of the ch2 stitches that you see on the edges?

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

The last stitch goes in the last dc of the row not the ch 2 :) The ch 2 doesn't count as a stitch in this pattern

[@rosiepena1850]

Hi, how can you make it circular and how much you need to add and where. Thank you 🙏 for your help

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! Yes, I think you could. I'm not sure without making it myself. You would not be able to add increases (like at the top of a beanie). There would need to be the same number of stitches in each round.

[@Idratherbecrocheting]

Thank you!!!!! 🤗

[@jessicarenner7175]

So when you are doing your double crochet stitch after the chain are you doing it in every third stitch?

[@cloudyjmg]

No. You double crochet in every stitch. You just skip the first two chains.

[@mariajo2777]

Thanks ! Great job!

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Thanks!

[@rhedhaering]

Thank you so much for this video! I made a loop scarf but it's curling up on itself lengthwise in a way that hides the beautiful pattern. Any advice on how to avoid this for next time?

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! You could try adding some rows of single crochet and/or wet block it :)

[@rhedhaering]

@@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness Thank you so much!! I will try that. ❤

[@AzayCarrasco]

I’m totally lost with the stitches, you can said at the end of the round how many are there, I don’ have enough in the second round or I don’t see well how many you left, is it 22 stitches you’re working with? Or did you add 2 stitches at the end so it matches 24?

[@alphinery]

azay carrasco i messed up the first time too. i did 25 chains at the start and got the numbers of DC right for the 2nd row. there should be 2 chains and 22 double crochets for the 2nd row. hope this helps!

[@lauriejohnson5430]

Thank you for the video. My only suggestion is to zoom in a bit more on the stitches as you're working

[@terezezaroura7823]

Can i use this stitch for purse pl

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Definitely :)

[@terezezaroura7823]

Many thanks

[@dianeluna1092]

How do u end the pattern? Like the last row to make the ends match? Thanx

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

I just did a row of solid double crochet :)

[@winterwolf5813]

@hookedonhomemadehappiness Hi hon, I love this video very easy to follow, only thing I'm confused on is why do you put bpdc in the 1st 2 stitches on the wrong side beginning and end but bptc in the rest?? Thanks so much

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

That's because the bptr need to "travel further" I guess you could say. So they are a bit taller :) Hope that helps!!

[@rhiannachalifour1338]

This is a great video! do you happen to have written directions for this?

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! I have it written out here in this blanket pattern www.hookedonhomemadehappiness.com/celtic-weave-stitch-stitch-sampler-scrapghan-cal-part-10/

[@susanschwartz39]

I love the look of the Celtic Stitch, however, I don't like the look of the back of that stitch. I want the back to look exactly like the front. I found that if you do the front post stitch and the back post stitch in each row, the Celtic stitch will appear the same front and back.

[@janislebedinsky1131]

iiit's awesome !!😍

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Thank you 😄

[@ayahamdalla8849]

it is soo hard

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

So sorry you're having trouble! What part are you struggling with specifically?

[@c.a.savage5689]

I am doing this pattern in the round and your video was EXTREMELY helpful for getting started with the first row of cross stitches. As I don't turn the work, do I just keep doing fptr stitches?

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! Thank you! Yes, I would think so :)

[@jenniferbowen8003]

I can't see what your doing with the closed caption in the way

[@kristingordon1683]

I wish this video had chapters.

[@labispearla9245]

Is there a way you can increase and decrease with this stitch? If so how do I do it?

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! I would try decreasing along each side. Maybe across 4 stitches?

[@CatsClawMasqurade]

Weird so I did the second row as all back post trebles and it didn't realize it was back post double crochet. However it didn't really affect the pattern .

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! No, it won't :) It will just change how loose or tight it is.

[@nancyjohnston7528]

Isn't this a cable stitch?

[@amberbeyer2653]

I feel like I'm going in blind trying to do these back post double and treble crochets of the second row.

[@BADRUBULDURA]
