Hello Everyone! I have added a free written and photo tutorial for this stitch to my blog! The tutorial also includes a video on how to work a single crochet edging around your square. Find it here: richtexturescrochet.com/single-crochet-thermal-stitch-how-to-crochet/

[@himendrrichamaura8902]

heyy can i make a men's sweater this way...kindly tell friend

[@jesslynnwin7829]

Can you do this in a circle pattern?

[@nompoo3115]

Hi! There is no video for the edging. It says "Check out this video:" and no video following that. I hope you update this comment when it's there!

[@murielyoungman9603]

Thankyou for the easy to follow tutorial. I made the potholder with ease. The only challenge I had was keeping the sides straight.

I just started this tonight, making my dog a warm blanket that smells like me to help with his anxiety when I'm at work :) thought it would be really sweet for him

[@jackiejack2031]

Awe that's lovely! My dog has anxiety also, great idea!

[@carinecollombet2900]

Yes! I was thinking about using this pattern to make a thick cover for my cat's crate, when we have to go to the vet...😇

[@diannenewman8694]

You are such a good momie

[@jacquicleijne9525]

I'm making this for my senior cat 😊. Hope your dog still loves his/hers 🐕💜

[@BaynesBlackWolf]

@@jacquicleijne9525 he loves it so much 🥰 he gets upset when i gotta clean it but once he and i cuddle with it together and its got our smell on it hes completely content snuggling under it lol

[@mcdaniellynda]

Thank you so much! You’re an excellent teacher and I love that you use a dark crochet hook, a thick white yarn and a brown gray background. Well thought out

[@kimberlypatton9634]

I'm a veteran crocheter( self taught since I was 14....about 50 years ago!) I do love finding these stitches that are new to me! I needed a great stitch like this one to quickly whip up some new potholders for my new apartment,since I'm on a baking binge too lately,and have the time at my age to enjoy all my interests! Thank you for the concise and clear instructions! I only had to watch once and now I'm of to raid my stash and see what cotton yarns I have! Subbed and I appreciate you!

[@jacquicleijne9525]

I'm making this for my senior 16 year old cat. Using two strands of 4 weight yarn in a mix of wool and acrylic, left over yarns I made into a huge ball. Size 7 hook. Thick soft and springy🐱💜.

[@maryfear236]

Grrrrr!! This stitch has stumped me until today!!! With patience and your tutorial I believe I have FINALLY got it!! Thank you Sarah!! You're the best!!

[@bettejacques7908]

You are an excellent teacher!! The manner in which you fully explain and the speed at which you progress is PERFECT!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@phebefriddle9133]

I learned to do this and the double crochet version about 50 years ago from a neighbor, I have never seen this stitch since. I always used cotton thread to make potholders. I have shown a few people how to do this one, I am glad to see it out and about. I think it's a great stitch. Thanks for sharing😁💖

[@annsheets874]

I was wondering if this would work for potholders. Thanks

[@jojo46catty14]

This is the only tutorial for thermal stitch that makes sense to me. Thanks and look forward to the double crochet thermal stitch tutorial soon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 x

[@luckysuzful]

This is the most detailed and easiest to follow tutorial for the thermal stitch! I've tried to watch many other videos but none was this easy to follow, so thanks very much! Now I'll be checking out the rest of your channel!

[@RichTexturesCrochet]

So happy that it helped! Enjoy!

[@xlxslxlcxlx]

The video was one of the best I've seen on youtube. Thank you for going slow enough for me to keep up but fast enough to keep it short, sweet and interesting. Love the stitch! 💕

[@RichTexturesCrochet]

I’m glad you like it!

[@Gabriele972]

Tolles Muster und super Erklärung. Danke. ❤

[@cindybetts8341]

If you connect the ends, this would make a great ear-warming headband!!! 💕

[@nonyabizness956]

That was the most effortless looking slip knot I've ever seen

[@RichTexturesCrochet]

Thanks :)

[@annholden1332]

Love it

[@lindadodson1586]

I've done my slipknots like that since my grandma taught me to crochet when I was 8 (I'm 65). I'll see other videos of people making slipknots and think 'it doesn't have to be that complicated!!!'

[@fluffifi]

I do mine very similarly! Dead easy.

[@Oceanfreak6]

Really though! The finger movement was fluid like water 👌🏾

[@suzanroggendorf9464]

Sarah, I had heard of the Thermal stitch but never worked it. Thank you for this tutorials Sarah. You explain the stitches very well and go slow enough for inexperianced crocheters like me. I kind of tend to the easier stitches. I just learned the sedge stitch which is so pretty and now I will practice thermal stitch as well. It looks easier than what I had thought. Thank you again Sarah.

[@wendy2blu]

Thank you so very much. This is the perfect speed at which to learn, and your instructions were so clear. I loved hearing your dog in thre background! Helps me remember you're a real person. Lol! I'm using this stitch to make a blanket square that I'll send off to a volunteer who will join it with other squares into a blanket to be donated to folks living on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. This will be a warm, squishy addition to help someone keep warm.

[@alejandraschuster]

It´s the first time I try this technique. It´s wonderful! Thanks so much! So clear your explanation, so nice your voice and very generous for sharing this with us!

[@LexiLex2629]

That was SUPER helpful! As someone who started with knitting first this was a nice and informative video that was at the perfect pace for someone like me! Thank you! The stitch scared me before I watched this!

[@KittenBowl1]

Great for washcloth. I’ve made several washcloths using regular stitches but when they get wet, it’s too airy and not great. But this would be great for washcloth. Very easy to follow! It’s great for potholders and eco sponge too. :)

[@julies5515]

I think i finally got it. Tried this again and your method of starting with the row of single crochet is by far easier. I have seen some videos where you start with the foundation chain and jump right into working in the back loops. That can get frustrating fast. Oh and yellow yarn probably not the best color choice to practice a new stitch, but i got it.

[@ashleycumbea4452]

This stitch is so beautiful and explained so well. I'm definitely going to use it to make a blanket. Thank you for such a great video.

[@dianemyers4657]

Love it! Sarah I love your teaching techniques! Anxious to see your home decor spring/summer patterns and designs. I just took down all my crocheted Valentine decorations and now my home is needing some color!

[@pedricks4874]

I am in love with this stitch! It is so easy and makes such a thick item! I am just crocheting away trying to decide what else to make with it after my face cloth is done.

[@chelseythornton7226]

Great tutorial, thank you! I even started it with black yarn and was able to follow along easily.

[@moon83star30]

Best tutorial! I especially appreciated how you actually focused on which was the first and second chain and what was the back stitch. So helpful, thank you! ❤

[@dellabsteele]

thank you for adding the stitch so I can see how it works... My dog was trying to figure out where the barking was coming from..too funny... thank you again... great teacher...

[@amarasharon]

Perfect for a HotPad!! Got to try it NOW! Thank You.

[@ginginfarragher9932]

Wow... Your patience is admirable! Beautiful stitches, beautiful, calm, explanatory tutorial. I love the denseness,and definitely will make a project! Thank you so much 😊

[@RichTexturesCrochet]

You’re welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@MysticRose68]

I love the dogs barking in the background. This is a great tutorial.

[@RichTexturesCrochet]

I’m glad he wasnt too distracting! He’s a border collie who likes to bark even if a squirrel sets foot on the property lol I think this time is was a person so it was valid :)

[@stonecrestquilt]

This would be a good stitch for a rug.

[@Scorpio45Libra]

I don't normally like thicker projects like this stitch, but Evelyn Oxner came up with a great idea in potholders so I may just have to give this a go! Thanks Sarah!

[@SherlockOhms119]

This is such a good video tutorial. I was having trouble on the ends of rows. Also I don't turn my work, I keep the front facing me and I turn my hook a full clockwise circle at the end of each row which gives me a nice ens of row stitch. Your video clearly showed which helped me see how to find and hook that last sc at end of rows. That back loop of lower stitch kind of hides. Now my square is perfectly square. Thank you 🏵

[@cynthiacornell1718]

Thanks - easy to understand and execute!

[@dc8514]

Thank you for this! You explained the process really well and showed everything clearly. I appreciate that so much!

[@gabriellarichmo]

Wonderful tutorial! Thank you!

[@melissah3772]

I have never touched a crochet hook in my life and I was able to follow this tutorial! Thank you for going slow! I'm starting small, just making a pot holder. If this goes well I may try a blanket next!

[@deborahprice3821]

Best instructions! Thanks.

[@enakelly9974]

First time I ever saw anyone make a slip knot like I do. Great instruction for the thermal stitch.

[@valerietucker7595]

Thank you for your blessing and talent for being a great teacher. You explained everything well and I could see completely what you were doing.

[@carencola1]

I can't wait to try this.

[@DanielWSonntag]

It's also fun to do two colors, one on each side. And you cut a 6" fringe by cutting every color, at the end of every row. Built-in fringe! I always have trouble making sure I complete that very last stitch of each row... it's much too easy to stop one stitch early.

[@sweetlady1027]

I love how you teach and explain in details on how to crochet the thermal stitch. I really appreciate you taking the time to teach us all. God bless you and your God given talents in Jesus Christ wonderful name Amen, Amen.

[@RichTexturesCrochet]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am glad that you liked the tutorial :)

[@paulinahagon141]

Thanks for actually explaining what the back loop is and which stitch you go into on the bottom, every other video I’ve watched just shows you and it’s hard to see what loop they are actually going through.

[@dianathomas3437]

Thank you so much Sarah!! I really enjoyed your video. Learning this stitch for the first time, really appreciated the instructions. Believe me I watched at least 4 other videos and they were not anywhere near as descriptive as yours! Thanks so much! I am looking forward to viewing your other videos.

[@christineewing948]

I love this tutorial! You explain it perfectly! I am going to try this stitch for a blanket! Blessings!!

[@RichTexturesCrochet]

Thank you :) I’m glad that you liked it!

[@gittekjaerulff9511]

This is a great technique! Making myself a pair of really fat solid potholders with double cotton yarn. Takes forever to crochet, but no more oven burns for me!

[@MaryJCrisp]

Did you need to use double yarn?

[@gittekjaerulff9511]

I chose to use double cotton, to make them as thick as possible. I used crochet hook size 4. When washed in hot water, they shrink a little, so I guess hook size 4.5 would have been fine too

[@charlieburkett]

I live close to the Canadian border, and I've not been able to come up with an idea to make a crochet beanie/hat without lining that really works up here, not just a fashion statement. I think this stitch might be the answer. I will let you know! Thanks always for your wonderful tutoring.

[@murielyoungman9603]

I'm a new subscriber, this is my first attempt at a somewhat complicated crochet stitch. I was able to follow and perform the tutorial with you. I completed my first thermal pot holder, actually my first crochet project. Thankyou. I did have a little trouble keeping my sides straight.

[@RichTexturesCrochet]

Thank you so much for your comments and I’m glad you found the stitch tutorial helpful! Congratulations on your pot holder! It is a great stitch for one :)

[@ForTwnT420]

Going to try to use this stitch for some cotton towels i think the thickness will add to the absorbance. Thank you for such a clear and concise tutorial ❤️

[@Juanita_Randall]

I love this stitch, I found it last year and used it with #4 macrame cord. Boy was it thick, I waffeled a little on the edges and forgot to close the end, but I like the overall look and feel of this tight rug, for rug is what thick cording done in this stitch is. I may have had the name of the stitch given to me, but that video was in English. Thank you for refreshing my memory.

[@patrickday3120]

OMG one the best videos ever! Thank you so much! You are a great teacher!

[@denny6106]

Like your way of teaching. Soothing voice. I've been using this stitch for making pot holders and a blanket for a few years now. The only thing that I do different is the last row. Instead of doing a single crochet I slip stitch. To me personally it looks more like the beginning rows. But that is just my personal preference.

[@TheYarnHagRyan]

I like this, nice and dense. Perfect for cold winters 🥶

[@samannthaswtnss9397]

You’re a true teacher. Thank you. I enjoy your style and teaching voice.

[@Mountlougallops]

I knew there had to be a way to do this! Where has this stitch been all of my life? lol. Thanks so much!

[@stephaniedebb262]

merci, c'est super bien expliqué. j'avais un eu de mal mais a force d'entrainement et votre vidéo, j'y arrive. merci encore

[@janmosteller124]

I’ve used this stitch to make cotton sponges for use in the kitchen and I sometimes doubled the yarn to make extra thick and firm sponges. The work and wash very well.

[@CatalinaPapadia]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I always like to learn something new. Crochet is not my "forte" but form time to time I love a challenge.

[@dude988]

O love the stitch, it's really warm but stretchy. I am working on a headband for autumn/winter. I cannot imagine doing a blanket with this, the headband is growing so slowly already...

[@milkmaid4338]

Oh good idea! I haven’t been too impressed with headbands I’ve done in regular single crochet.

[@dude988]

@@milkmaid4338 I made two headbands now. One in rows back and forth, the others in circles. It works both ways. In circles you have more control whether it gets to big or to small. Even though both got a bit to big because they are stretchy and I had to decrease more than a few stitches. Use a bigger hook, I used a 6.5 (my biggest at the time) and it's still a bit to stiff. But very warm in the rainy autumn right now.

[@susanp8568]

You are an excellent teacher. Like the stitch. Will create a warm scarf or blanket. Take care
