🔥 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...

Jus curious, why are there many 'moss' stitches. I've seen one w/alternating sc & hdc on a row. At new row u do opposite...meaning where u had a sc on prior row u now put hdc & where u had hdc u now put sc. I would appreciate if it wasnt different ones though. I like ur moss st A LOT better!

[@annettegraff8323]

@@virginiaseedsskogen2038 Did you forget the chain stitchs when you turn to start a new row or miscount ? You need to make sure they are a consistent size as well . Watch your tension as you make those final stitches at the end of the row chain one, two etc as you end turn and follow directions. If the tension is even and chain size consistent you will have a " squared " edge on the following row . Good luck !

I'm planning next to do a blanket in your "one stitch" using leftover yarns in my stash. I'm not very good at putting colour together so who knows how that will turn out!

I love this stitch! I saw it in some patterns on social media and now thanks to your video I know the stitch name and how to make it 😊 Thanks a lot!! Only one question: I’m thinking of crocheting a table runner with it. Is there any way to work edges with this stitch so that it looks clean and neat on the sides? Thanks!

[@wright4599]

maybe try single crocheting across the edges?

[@randomhumanoidblob4506]

Couple of things maybe? 1. Run a row of slip stitches along the edge then use those as the basis for a border. I made a shawl with this as the basic stitch and doing that gave a beautiful edge - I just crocheted a couple of rows of SC but you can make it as simple or as complicated as you want. 2. Start each row off with a set number of SC - say, four singles then start your moss stitch. Then you have the border incorporated. But slip stitches are deffo your friend for borders, even for a messy learner like me 🤗 I've tried both but I like the slip stitch version for the cleanest border, especially if you're using mixed stitches. And I'm only a beginner so if I can do it you'll be able to with your eyes closed! I can't link other tutorials, that wouldn't be fair. But Robin did a moss stitch shawl on here and she shows you how to put a neat edge on. Alternatively, try searching terms like finishing, preparing for a border etc. etc.

What a wonderful comment, thank you! 😃🤗

This is such a great tutorial! I'm planning on making a temperature blanket for 2023 and I think this stich would look lovely!

I was thinking the same! Gonna work on a new temperature blanket soon and didn't want to use the same stitch as the one I'm work on right now! I think im sold on this one!

[@joannelawrence1155]

OK, maybe this is a dumb question, but what is a temperature blanket? I do agree this tutorial is the best, I'm attempting to teach myself how to crochet from watching videos. This is one I think I could actually do. My problem right now is I'm missing stitches even over the chain. I bought a neck lamp that I'm hoping will help.

​@@hopez6334 Hi, how many chains are you making for a blanket??

[@hopez6334]

@@lilianastalinska3515 i normally make around 100 to 200 chains, depending on the weight of the yarn and size hook.( With bulky yarn it takes less chains)To be honest, i normally just eyeball it and just chain until I'm satisfied with the size.

Thank you thank you thank you for going soooo slowly and not assuming we know. Brilliant Truly thank you Robin beautiful stitch lovely yarn too.

My English skills are a disaster and the last time I held a knitting needle in my hand was about 45 years ago. The video and the explanations (and the accent too) are so excellent that I didn't understand everything linguistically, but I was able to follow the explanations very well. Everything to the point, simple, no superfluous words, perfect speed... Thank you very much for that. ❣12/10. Now I just have to manage to knit neatly so that it looks like yours and I can start my blanket.

Thank you so much and it will definitely come in time!😃🧶

Now THIS is a great beginner tutorial. I only recently got into crocheting (through Arigumis) but wanted to try a blanket. Everyone uses such complicated stitches or don’t show how to do it properly, but this tutorial is amazing. Thank you!

[@HookedbyRobin]

You're so welcome! I am glad you like it.😀🧶

[@nikiTricoteuse]

Great tutorial. Thank you for explaining EVERYTHING including the colour changes and which terminologyyou were using. I'm a lifetime knitter but, would like to try and learn crochet and, l do find it frustrating when so many tutorials assume knowledge many of us don't have. I've recently finished knitting a scarf in 4 colour linen stitch where the colour repeats were carried up the side in an icord edge. I was super happy with it but this looks much simpler (l kept messing up the icord). Looks like a perfect stash buster project too. The other scarf nicely finished up the leftovers from a Fairisle pullover l knitted for my daughter.

[@HookedbyRobin]

You can absolutely carry the colour changes up the side of crochet too! If you're putting on a border, that'll cover the floated strands 😀

I have just picked up crocheting. My daughter's teacher, one day at her school, showed her class how to do it and had them all try it out. She now wants to learn it and so I started it to try and help her with it. You have made it so easy for us to learn that I am now using this stitch to make a full size blanket. My daughter, who is 12, is trying to make a blanket for her cat. 😁 We both have watched other videos about this and have found yours to be the easiest to follow and comprehend the steps. Thank you so much!
