Interlocking Crochet for Beginners

[@sharikurzh732]

Considering the fact that he is using his time to teach us this pattern and stitch for FREE, I think he is an Excellent Instructor! He is Patient, Kind, And Precise! I for one am so grateful to those who share their knowledge with us. If not for these channels where we are lucky to get this wide variety of choices, where I can rewind and play - over and over while pausing until it "Clicks" in my brain. I would still have my hook and yarn in hand, looking around, saying, "Now What"??!! I am most excited to learn these stitches that look difficult and beautiful while being relatively easy. Thanks So Very Much!!! 😊 💕

I've been trying to learn interlocking crochet on and off for MONTHS now and this is the only video/tutorial of any kind that has worked! I have a little reversible square of interlocking crochet now. Thank you so much :)

[@michellewalters7756]

I swear I am your biggest fan....have followed ALL your videos for years and learned sooooo much from you! I know I speak for a lot of ppl when I say I would not be the crocheter I am without you! Anyway, my comment is really a fun helpful idea. I have a laminated flashcard with a large B on one side and F on the other. I flip the card back and forth depending on what row I am on, to always know if I need to bring my second color forward or backward to begin the row. When I set my project down due to life beckoning, I place the card with the correct side up between my project and yarn skien....its not fool/fail proof and its always good to know how to look and see which is which. However, as a seasoned crocheter this is a MAJOR time saver! Thanks for your videos, I will continue to support you! You are my crochet HERO!

I always enjoy your videos, so TFS!! I wanted to contribute a tip that I picked up in a Venezuelan video (by Crochet Venezuela, I think); instead of sandwiching 2 completed rows of A and B, only complete an A row, then make your starting chain of B and thread it through the A row. Then you can start your pattern without the ugly, empty starting rows at the bottom of your work.

Awesome video by an awesome teacher! I love the "table of contents" with time marks for ease of returning to a specific portion. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@valkiernan2409]

I love this, Front Post, Back Post is fun for me. Will be getting my therapy/service puppy in April, I wanted something that he could cuddle in for his long ride home.I have about 9 blankets made for him.4 of them are done with the rib stitch. this will be his next one.Yes he is coming up to Maine from Texas.. Little Sprout needs a comfy ride home.

[@RD9_Designs]

My dog (not officially a therapy dog, but she is my therapy anyway) loves her blankets. Being part Chihuahua, she gets cold! I need to crochet her a warmer sweater than what they sell in the stores, but haven't found the right pattern.

[@kathleenchamp3764]

Mikey, I've watched this and liked it.anticipate doing it soon. Just revisited for kicks today BUT I had to pop in and tell you Dude! Giggle , SERIOUSLY, you've done such a WONDERFUL job of teaching in this video! Step by step show and concise! Just a WONDERFUL job! Appreciate you~ and all your hard work, thought and consideration for all of us! Your a peach / doll/ A CHAMP!

I've recently made the "Reversible Geometric Crochet Blanket" (pattern is dated October 28, 2019) and I really enjoyed it. I'd not seen this technique before; the finished item has a lovely texture which brings me pleasure every time I touch it, and it keeps the drafts on the floor from chilling my feet, legs and lap. It's such a crisp, smart design too (I call it 'fleur-de-lys' as that's what it looks like to me). I've decided to make the "Top o' the Morning" blanket next and am seeking out suitable and pleasing yarns. I'd love to see more of these interlacing designs around -- or come up with one or two myself. Thanks for the in-depth tutorial, as ever, Mikey! Best wishes from Katherine in Kent, UK

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thanks Katherine for your thoughtful response.

[@lisahollingsworth9114]

Beautiful blanket, will be making it, can you do a tutorial showing how you created the border? It’s gorgeous. Thanks for all you do.

[@karenhickey3377]

I love this!!! I definitely must give this a try. Thank you Mikey!! Awesome video 😁👍

[@madyschelpe8247]

Don't change anything about the way you do videos.Love the way they are.

[@joseanker2059]

What a fascinating pattern and your tutorial is great. Your site is always the one I come back to when I get stuck in my crochet. My hat off to you.

[@novella0206]

I am playing with this pattern and I found it helpful to use a stitch marker. Thank you.

[@norma0625]

Beautiful blanket 😀

[@jupitersnoot4915]

calling this mosaic crochet is a bit confusing because this is not the mosaic crochet i am used to. This is interlocking crochet. the mosaic crochet i am used to does not have interlocking meshes, but fully connected rows where you crochet the colours into each other.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

This is also referred to as mosaic. I checked before filming.

[@patty8222]

You make everything so easy to understand.

[@theknittingcraft3151]

Beautiful pattern

[@angievillarreal1556]

Thank YOU for your help...I LOVE The WAY the VIDEOS ARE...They Help ME UnDERSTAND the Stitch..

[@gwatson7381]

Thanks for the video...I was looking for a pattern to use the chucky yarn. I would like to know what size needle you was using.

[@donacatanguma]

Mickey 💖 I always look forward to your videos. You make learning so easy. You're a great person inside and out ... my dream is to attend one of your crochet cruises. BTW, I think the word you want to use is firefighter !!! Love & Light from NYC 💟💜💛💖💛💜💟

[@justpinkcandy]

FYI: this is NOT Mosaic Crochet; this is Interlocking Crochet. There IS a difference. They actually look quite similar, but the execution is different. Google "Havana CAL" or "Havana Afghan" (mosaic crochet afghan CAL based on the "Apache Tears" pattern) 👍🏻

[@jayohwhy919]

Thank you. I agree with you totally.

[@kitgreen2879]

I agree. Very confusing for beginners 😮

[@margaretbuckley4752]

Thank you so much for the excellent tutorial. You made the technique so easy to understand and now I'm really looking forward to trying it out. Thanks again!

[@karenbehymer3634]

WOW! I love this! Thank you for explaining and showing this so carefully . Am grabbing my scrap bag right now to try this.

[@ChristianFriendsFamily_7673]

I love this, will you be doing a video on the , border?

[@aulay70]

You are amazing

[@lisaharvey4487]

Awesome video! Thanks so much.

[@LindaCBMediaGroup]

That's going to make a very warm, and heavy blanket, especially using the Bernat "blanket yarn".

[@sarahays5485]

some r saying they don't like it when u use this yarn i think it's easier to c esp for beginners (ive been crocheting for 12 yrs now)

[@GDMCreations]

Mikey this is very interesting. Definitely will give this a try very soon. WIPS got to get done first. Thank you for making this look so easy ( Donna Weiss)

[@angelesramos4779]

Explained so clearly, thank you

[@dmedinamedina5093]

Thank you Mikey,you are an amazing teacher. I love your videos, you make it look so easy. I am definitely going to do this one ❤❤

[@theresasilvia790]

Thank you mikey this is an interesting concept. How would you go about doing a large scale blanket like this. Would u have to do these small pieces or could u do 2 different size blankets then mesh them together. I love your videos ive learned so much from you

[@ellywehde8541]

Theresa Silvia heq

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Just continue with making the mesh bigger to begin.

[@theresasilvia790]

Thank you

[@kathleenchamp3764]

I'm SO loving this mosaic! Mikey great TUT! Can you show the edging you used on the baby blanket..PERFECT!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It's just single crochet around... twice... 1 dc round and then 1 sc extended picot round. Follow the link provided in the video description and I share more about that.

[@jayohwhy919]

So is this the interlocking stitch or mosaic because under yarnspiration you call it mosaic. If you ask me one tutorial of this is enough.

[@chantellove9570]

Isn't this interlocking crochet or fillet crochet not mosaic?

[@kitgreen2879]

Yes, it's interlocking, or locked filet mesh, mosaic is different.

[@armaniousd184]

Wonderful !

[@dianemier5335]

What is the finished size if you start with the 76 and 74 chain meshes?

[@Cellottia]

Depends on your yarn and hook size. Try it and see by measuring. You can always add more chains, or pull them out. If you want to know your row count, I'd suggest making a mesh swatch of several rows and measuring that, too. You can always pull it out and reuse it for the actual blanket. Hope this helps!

[@christiehuyck2552]

Is it possible to do this with 3 colors?

[@RD9_Designs]

You would have to switch colors in your rows, as this is created in 2 pieces.

[@colleenhodges4972]

While watching your Mosaic crochet tutorial it occurred to me that this is the same technic used to make those reverible blankets

[@kitgreen2879]

Mosaic and interlocking are two different techniques, this is titled one but describes the other. Confused.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Mosaic is also a term for this technique as well. I'm sorry about the confusion.

[@kitgreen2879]

@@TheCrochetCrowd have you got a source for that? I've only heard of either overlay OR inset mosaic crochet, with interlocking, or locked filet mesh being another different technique.

[@nancyoleksy]

Do you have to use that kind of yarn? It was difficult to see the stitches with that bulky yarn. Just me.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

No you can use any yarn you wish. I am going to do another type of yarn for a different design.. that might help.

[@bfvargas8]

nice thanks!

[@Mpo65]

It’s cute but looks like it’s very time consuming to make it. So I don’t think I’ll make this one.

[@kadyjabrealey1421]

Do you have a course for this?

[@kadyjabrealey1421]

Lovely

[@TLCNICE]

Yes but I’m struggling. It appears easy but hard my knowledge is low i guess

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Has nothing to do with your knowledge... just take a break and revisit it again in the future.

[@jayohwhy919]

Correct it isn't your knowledge it is the instructor

[@taathefriendlyway6888]

No Tracey.! It's NOT you. I Left too after The ENTIRE 4..MINUTES.! BEGINNING.! made ME feel so SICK & DIZZY.!! ~ from ONLY "LOOKING" AT: THAT~ "NAUSEATING" Pattern.!!

[@fidget918]

I love your videos, but next time, can you please fix the camera so it doesn't shake? I am getting sick trying to watch the video.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I just moved to my new place... the camera is shaking as I am turning it on. I'm unsure why it's doing that as it's the same set up... let me see if I can rig it another way. I agree and sorry you were getting ill as a result of my work.

[@fidget918]

How to Crochet with The Crochet Crowd Thank you for the reply. I did realize you have moved (your yarn organization is to DIE FOR). My comment was more to make you aware, as I've found small movements don't bother most people. Unfortunately for me, it makes the video unwatchable. Your work is wonderful. You alone taught me to crochet. Thank you for all you do, and keep it up!

Advertisement right in the midlle of trying to understand a new stich .. that is very annoying ... really annoying !

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I don't program any additional ads in my videos. That's KZbin doing that. I'm sorry that happened to you. I noticed longer tutorials are getting a commercial break. I believe KZbin has adjusted something.

[@louverousse9023]

Well it is very annoying ... thanks for answering . Have a nice day .

[@debbiepibacon1182]

It’s a KZbin thing. I guess they weren’t already making enough money on ads at the beginning, before a video starts. They better be careful or someone who is less greedy might come out with a video platform that has few to no ads.

[@louverousse9023]

And I would go on that plateform with pleasure ! Really getting annoyed with the number of ads on youtube ...
