🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on KZbin yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

I'm 72 learned to crochet from my Grammaw when I was 10. I love watching you and your voice is soothing... Even at 72 you have taught me alot of new stitches..

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you for such a lovely comment Nellie! So glad you enjoy the videos 🥰

Hi Nellie I am 72 as well and I totally agree with you robin is fantastic,like you I've crocheted all my life but have learned a lot from robin,💙💙

Hi Maureen Koro from the Oceania and am 27 ,I love watching your videos . it's help me broden my knitting Technics and also improve my skills

[@GrandmaLM]

I also learned from my grandma. I’m 76. She only did doilies and in the end of her life she crochet chains to hang medals on for the missions.

[@footfault]

Ha, ha, same here! Most of my life I've knitted, and it's just in the past couple of years I've learned so much from the crocheting you-tube instructors. Robin is excellent, isn't she? Love this V stitch, a novelty for me.

[@Bellllllz]

Thank the universe for slow-motion and high quality cameras

[@marievanwyk5932]

I've made so many blankets but come back to the V-stitch every time. So simple and not heavy on yarn. Thank you.

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re so welcome Marie!🥰🧶

[@cathyrandolph7135]

The V stitch is probably my favorite. I’m so glad you knotted those ends before weaving. Some people say knots are a no-no, but I always knot when I can to make things more secure.

[@litax005]

Right? I also, most of the things I make are to being washed so I want it to be secure and don’t just get “dismembered” in the wash machine 😂

[@Doodlecream]

Fr I’m not going to spend endless hours on a project just so that it will unravel

[@MissTrixie29]

Save time! If you're going to be doing a repeat pattern, run the yarn up the side and never cut the yarn. Don't pull it tight or it will pull weird on the edges. Cover them up with a border. I've done as many as 5 colors with baby yarn but 3-4 with thicker yarn is the max I recommend. I did a whole blanket of alternating colors and didn't cut once, saves time and yarn!

[@laurelgirard8475]

I never knot my ends. Absolutely no knots. I crochet my ends in so well sometimes I can’t undo them . But we all find the method we are comfortable with.

[@marigeobrien]

@@laurelgirard8475 -- I, too, love the no-knotting method (which Robin actually uses when changing colors) because it's just as secure as knots, but no bumps. I've never had one unravel-- it can't as long as the other yarn is in place. The important thing is, as Robin did, to weave the tails in changing direction and going in at least 3 directions. Not just running it along one way. When you do that, it can easily come out if it's repeatedly pulled in that direction.

[@filippakapetanou3792]

I'm sooo glad l found you!! I am a beginner and you explain everything so patiently so everyone can understand what you are doing!! Thank you so much!!😊

[@Subliminal.Radiation]

This is such a beautiful stitch, hard to believe it's so easy to do! My grandma has a blanket that her grandmother made using this stitch (and despite its age, it's in perfect condition!)

[@lindarandall]

I always love your tutorials. I too have learned so much from you. I would like to also compliment you on your beautiful hands and lovely nails. I am so turned off by those who do the tutorials with dirty finger nails. I’m sure some will criticize me but I just think that if one is filming their hands they could at least have clean hands and fingernails. I can not grow nice fingernails but they are always clean. Especially after a year of being told to wash our hands fo health. Love the V stitch!

[@Kayla_Kimbrell]

Your video literally taught me the V stitch. I'm on my second practice swatch now. Next I will introduce a second color. I've come back to your video several times to check my work and to rewatch it as I go. I can't wait to make something with the V stitch!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yay! 😃 I’m glad my video taught you Kayla. x
