Bellissimo grazie per la condivisione !! 💕💐😍

[@shellyangell100]

I have never done this stitch, but I will be trying it! So lovely, and Saint Catherine died on the wheel refusing to denounce Jesus. I love that it’s got such a sixties vibe to it, but isn’t a blocky granny square.

[@florab6970]

70 yrs old and have been crocheting since I was 8 but have never done this stitch. Guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks, lol. You and your yarn have bought new life to my crochet. Thanks Chandi! 🥰

[@petiteme1540]

Hi Chandi. What a lovely pattern! I have never done the Catherine’s Wheel stitch before and have never even heard of it. It’s really beautiful. Thanks for another great pattern and tutorial.🌸🌺

[@colleenmarceau2639]

That’s amazing! I am just learning crochet and granny squares are what I am currently working on! I thought from looking at this beautiful top that it would be similar to granny squares, but it sure isn’t! I think I will have to try the Catherine’s Wheel because it really is a cool stitch! Thanks for the great pattern by Elisabeth Carr and the great tutorial!

[@juliefrench1392]

Such a cute top I have made so many things with wheel stitch it makes a crazy wild blanket with lots of left over yarn, I’ve made lots of little girl dresses and lots of kids tees with this stitch but never a tee for myself I’m looking forward to it this is such an easy fun stitch

[@sreece0928]

I have not used this stitch before. It looks easy enough. Not sure about whip stitching it together, but.....we will see.

[@Nora-jt9zy]

Gorgeous ❤❤❤

[@sherry5107]

Ooooo! Pretty colors! Love that parrot! I have done the Catherine Wheel in a few blankets. Such a pretty stitch!

[@debbieevans5884]

Beautiful stitch! And it seems very easy. I have never worked it before, and if I was 50 lb lighter, I might make this top for myself! I think would be a lovely scarf. Thank you so much for your channel and your web site.😊❤

[@katieanncarochi3723]

I haven’t done this stitch before; it is a beautiful stitch. Thanks for the tutorial on how to complete the stitch pattern.

[@DemonLlama1136]

I’ve made a baby blanket with a striping rainbow color and alternating rows of white in this stitch and it was adorable!

[@dburris1440]

The wheel stitch is brand new to me! It looks like a lot of fun, and I would love to make this top for my daughter😊

[@erikatorres8117]

Hello, This is the first time I will be trying this stitch. I love the way you introduce the stitch, that's how I want to think about my life. Thank you ❤❤😊

[@brendakoenig2496]

Love this! When i saw it i thought no way i could do this, but you do such a good job on the videos i feel yes i can! Just hoping i can use some of the boatload of fingering i already have. Of course i have just about every base except Crema😂

[@CrochetKrisMI]

The top is lovely. I used the Catherine's Wheel stitch one time in the past to make a baby afghan for my cousin's first child. I used navy, yellow and white.

[@claudiawegener]

Amazing design ❤ I have never tried this stitch before…

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Try it 💚

[@marieaube2987]

I,ve never done this stitch, but will try this. I love making easy garments! Thank you.
