As a 40 yaer crocheter, it is nice to find someone who can explain clearly and concisely what each stitch is and how to do it, so THANK YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@superiorgameschicago]

I've crocheted for years and started with amigurumi and tunisian crochet, and just got into mosaic. Your instructions are so clear, and thanks for using yarn that contrast enough I can discern between the two!😂

[@Gojenjen84]

I’m so excited that you have a KZbin channel, I bought like almost all your patterns.. I’m super big skull fan.. although your patterns with the photos help so much!! Thank you for having this video!!!

[@SixelDesign]

Thank you so much!

[@quincicontreras]

I’m so happy I found your video! I just saw your patterns and fell in love but I was intimidated at first so I wanted to watch a few videos before purchasing. Thank you so much for having a channel and teaching!

[@bettybare3320]

Sweetie you're shaking, You are doing a great job. I LOVE your teachings, they are very clear, you take your time with us. Thank you for teaching us 🙏 ❤️ ♥️ 😘

[@DianeSheridan-b2l]

Thank you for this video!! I just started learning mosaic crochet and got patterns with these stitches and I was so confused. Your video helped me out so much!!!

[@cynthiacornell1718]

I design my own mosaic patterns, and this will give me plenty to think about - like using a triangle at the bottom of a heart (I'm pretty basic with my stitching). Thanks for sharing.

[@boxerdogsmom]

I adore skulls and crochet, so glad I found you 💀

[@loridegrande2350]

Thank you so much I can't wait to make something with all these new stitches

You are my crochet hero!

Hi Alexis I have purchased 3 of your patterns and made 3 Afghans from them. I absolutely love your designs and look forward to all your new patterns. I am so happy you have come to KZbin. Have subscribed straight away.

[@SixelDesign]

Thank you so much!!

[@alwaysmoreme]

The video hasn't started yet, I'm letting the ads play through. Just wanted to let you know I started my skeleton blanket last night. The pattern and how you laid it out, all the pictures to go with it... amazing!! I'm so excited! This helps alot too.

[@SixelDesign]

Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the blanket! Feel free to skip any ads since I can't monetize a new channel anyway lol

[@firedancer0807]

I am so thankful for this video. I am left handed and to restart the skull blanket because I wasn't reading it backwards like I was supposed to. 🙃

[@karenhaughey5199]

I'm the same as Janet below. Just completed my first mosaic crochet piece and loved it and found your site and am so excited to do more. This tutorial is so well explained, it makes me think 'Yeah. I can do this'. . So here I go x xx

[@SixelDesign]

I'm so happy to hear that! Have fun crocheting!

[@HonestlyLibby]

Super geeked! 🤓 My bestie is coming over for a girl’s weekend, our first project will be the gothic skulls. Thanks for sharing your talent and hard work!

[@SixelDesign]

That sounds awesome! Have fun crocheting!

[@SuzetteFranck]

Thank you for putting together this video, I bought cat eyes and cat noir from you, figuer I'd start with this techniques video very cool, thank you so much

[@christinmethehopeofglory730]

So so beautiful

[@SixelDesign]

Thank you 🥰

[@TheInvisibleJoin]

I just subscribed, came over from Mandobug. Thanks for the tutorial. Perfect!!!

[@mayanae]

You are amazing

[@speechlessmakeup]

I found your pattern via tiktok. This is my first mosaic crochet project and I love it. Thank you so much for your great work. ❤

[@SixelDesign]

Oh tiktok makes me nervous- I don't post anything on there, and there have been problems with people sharing my patterns illegally. Hope whatever you came across wasn't something like that! Anyway, glad you're enjoying the pattern!

[@jacquelinedeblue5231]

I'm not surprised this is a 'very highly requested' video! I was looking for a cushion cover pattern, found yours, and hey presto I had downloaded three of them. Had a quick look at the charts, saw the special stitches, and though your instructions are thorough, it did calm my ardour (to start right away) just a bit. So this video is a godsend, and I'm going to concentrate on the relevant stitches as I crochet, rather than try to absorb them all at once. Thank you so much for this and of course for the great patterns!

[@SixelDesign]

I'm so happy to hear the video helps! Have fun making your cushions!

[@romystumpy1197]

Oooh i love the spider and web one

[@janetpingrey7155]

Maybe I'm a little above my paygrade as I JUST found and fell in love with mosaic crochet and have only done one project, but your video made so much sense that I will keep it pinned in my bookmark bar for reference. I soooo admire your patterns and teaching abilities. Of course, I jumped in on your patterns, too. So glad I found your channel. Amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your talents...

[@SixelDesign]

Thank you so much!! Glad you're enjoying it!!

[@liafue]

Muchas gracias

[@joselinejulian2388]

Been following you on raverly for probably a year and finally found some time to pick my hook back up & purchasea pattern❤️ Decided to take a stab at KZbin to see if you had anything on here since I wasn’t sure I was understanding your special stitches correctly. Turns out I was! Your symbols are really intuitive, as it happens. Just never can trust myself without some verification. Lol. Thanks a pantload for sharing yr cool patterning brain w/ us.

[@SixelDesign]

I'm so happy the video helped verify that you've got it! Have fun crocheting!!

[@cherish1180]

Omg my head is spinning. I've been crocheting for 20 years and I think this is gonna really test me.

[@SixelDesign]

These should help if you're following along with a pattern and need help on specific stitches. ❤️

[@sophia200]

Yeah... I'm completely confused 😕

[@pleasedontbiteme1117]

Thank you😭😭

[@user-jl4ij8xj5l]
