Thank you for showing how to do thermal stitch. This is new to me and I appreciate your teaching method very much.

[@dotttaylor6714]

Thank you for this stitch tutorial. Made Afghan using it in the 1970s but couldn't remember how to begin or end. Love the way you teach, so easy to follow. Thanks again.

[@ariainman5383]

Thank you thank you! For all you do!!

[@debbiegsyarnylove8424]

Very clear instructions! Thanks Glenda. I’ve been crocheting for many years and have never done this stitch before, appreciate you!

[@sandrawharton8281]

Thank you so much for your very clear instructions. I watched several videos on this stitch and could never get it until I watched yours. I also love the tip on the “rainbow” stitch to show the end of your row.

[@nanasblessings]

Thanks so much for the tutorial. I've looked at several videos trying to make sense of this stitch and yours was by far the easiest to understand and follow. This looks like a stitch I'll use often. Thanks again.

[@tazlizard]

I absolutely love this stitch!! Once you get it down it is easy! And I love it for the potholder I am making!!

[@sheilasank9082]

Can't wait to show this stitch to my kids to try. Thank you so easy to follow your video.

Very nice presentation. Thank you.

[@kellycoleman7898]

You are awesome Glenda. You helped me so much. Thank you. I love this new stitch that I have learned.

[@melissabordelon8556]

I love your stitch of the week videos Glenda. I save them and go through them when I need to make a baby blanket. I especially love how you show us the 3 different colorway samples! It really opens up a person's creativity and makes the patterns look different.

[@KarenLeah15]

Thank you for a great video! Very clear & easy to understand with easy to watch camera quality (no shaking or moving around.)

[@moonlight_5836]

Beautiful stitch. You are a great teacher indeed......Thanks for your tutorials

[@maried4069]

The Thermal Stitch is beautiful! I had never heard of this one. I learn so much from your videos, thank you so much. You touch a lot of people's lives!

[@margewerden6675]

THIS is my next SOTW Washcloth!!! Thanks, Glenda!

[@sheilaalexander7324]

Very nice tutorial! I always learn something from your videos. Thank you very much!

[@EvieO1950]

Another stitch I hadn’t heRd about. Thanks for the great way you do tutorials and the examples you give.

[@carol29carnegie]

Hi Glenda, I've just used this stitch to make an infinity scarf and it's turned out beautifully snug and cosy, so pleased with it as it's for a Christmas present, as always your instructions are so clear and easy to follow, thank you for all your kind help and information best regards Carol

[@eleanorkokoszka2662]

Thank you for sharing the thermal stitch.I made a sample of it and the first three rows where harder to do but the more you do it gets easier. THANKS again

[@suestevens7356]

Hello Glenda! Wow I love this thermal stitch! It is especially cozy looking now that it is so cold out now! An afgan with this stitch would be delightful! 😍 Thank you for the video!

[@dianelbramlett4133]

Thank you so much Glenda, never heard of this Stitch and I have a few people I could make an Afghan for that would really appreciate this Stitch. As for you repeating things, well you go right on ahead how in the world are we supposed to know unless you continuously tell us. Thank you once again for all your hard work and your time. Happy holidays

[@yvettebressette6887]

I am so glad I came across your video. I am a lefty and had already watched 4 videos and undid the same amount of crochet projects, I was getting very frustrated because it is not easy to do things "backwards" from what you're watching. Thank you for going row by row and chain by chain. Saved my sanity! 😊

[@wilsonstreet616]

Just love that Caron Simply Soft Stripes you used. I have not seen that before. I have been wanting to try this stitch to make a potholder.

[@marilyn1228]

I've always loved your tutorials and found them the most comprehensive. I was having so much trouble with the edges of this stitch until you said "rainbow stitch", then that cleared it up for me. Thank you!

[@debbyavery5693]

Just found your tutorials, and glad I did. The thermal stitch is awesome. I have used it to make potholders, but had never thought about making it with acrylic yarn.

[@KLD521]

Very interesting and unique stitch. I really like this Thermal Stitch, actually this is the first time of hearing about this stitch and seeing how it is made. Thank you so much for sharing. That's why I love the "Stitch of the Week". Respectfully, Donna K.

[@midgethorn4083]

Nice work and great teaching.

[@barbsanderson231]

my favorite stitch for potholders and kitchen scrubbies! Thanks for doing this tutorial, as there are very few out there that explain and demonstrate it as well as you do :) First 3 rows are the most fiddley to deal with, then it just flows. That's exactly how I finish mine off, gives a neat finish that way. It makes a nice fluffy blanket when you use worsted weight #4 and a larger hook. I've used an US L 8.00mm or even an US N 9.00/10.00mm - works up soft and fluffy.

[@kimwilliamson7163]

Does this stitch require more yarn than normal? Is it a yarn eater?

[@barbsanderson231]

@@kimwilliamson7163 it's not a major yarn eater like some stitches are. When I make my potholders with this stitch, I get 1 with some left over. Depending on if its a print or a solid, I get more left from a solid (120yds). Hope this helps :)

[@kimwilliamson7163]

@@barbsanderson231 Thank you, Barb!

[@barbsanderson231]

@@kimwilliamson7163 you're very welcome - have fun with this stitch!

[@ruthspang6319]

What kind of yarn do you use for pot holders I was thinking cotton

[@aulay70]

I love the way you explain these stiches as after a illness my memory is a bit foggy I've started to right some down I dont know how to download the patterns so thank you very much 😊

[@Debbie2004]

Thank you for this Stitch I have never tried it and I have never heard of it. I am excited to start a couple of pot holders using this stitch.

[@APrimbun]

Thank you, Glenda. I've tried this stitch before and got so confused. Sizing up my hook and following your instructions...I had no problems at all. I kept wondering if I was doing it wrong because it seemed so much simpler than I thought it was. 😊

[@hazeluzzell]

THANK YOU! I just watched 4 tutorials for this stitch. 3 were incomprehensible, and 1 was another stitch altogether!

[@kaylynno]

I have used thermal stitch for several years to make pot holders. I also made a floor mat for my fur babies food and water station. It is a very durable stitch.

[@gregsgirl23au]

Im so glad you have a tutorial for this Glenda as I love to make potholders thank you

[@angelahudnall8622]

Thus us a great stitch. I'm going to try it for some dish cloths. Thank you!

[@laurasalgado934]

What an awesome Stitch! 😍 Thank you so much for your slow patience in teaching us,😇 and the proper filming so I could really see what you're doing, 🤓I would have never understood how to do this otherwise! I am definitely going to use this Stitch 🤗Thanks again!

[@elviraguerrero5662]

What a beautiful stitch! Thanks for sharing!

[@sadeecollins1469]

Thank you for sharing this stitch!!! I've Been looking for a stitch that's heavy I'm always cold I'm going to try and make a lap throw love it THANKS!!!

[@omaeve]

I am doing the stitch in nylon 100% nylon and I can see that it’s going to make a very nice rug to scrub your feet on as you go in and out the door

[@debbymccauley4774]

The Thermo Stitch is gorgeous, thanks for another great tutorial. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@JazzyJude]

❤️ LOVE this stitch! You amaze me with these stitches and I’m learning so much from you. Love all of your videos 😃

[@pam5389]

I've started a baby blanket 👍👍😊. Thank you!

[@SilverIchimaru]

Love this stitch. It eats less yarn than I thought it would. I made a chair pad for an accent chair who's seat is bare wood. I used a bulky 5 yarn and it turned out very nicely.

[@karenhickey3377]

Love this stitch!! Thank you for another great tutorial Glenda 😊😊

[@80657]

I love this. Imagine the Afghan you can make for the winter. I live in Ohio and it gets stupid cold. This would make a great throw. You are fantastic.

[@marjoriewanth8967]

Thank you so much for your help with stich of the week I learn so much from you and thanks again for sharing it 😍

[@conniegant7781]

Thank you for this video, I’ve never done this stitch looking forward to trying it!

[@corlissyamasaki3476]

You make this so easy! When I first started this, I took it off 5 times because I kept missing stitches. Lol. I would have saved myself a lot of grief if I watched your video first!

[@ritatannehill7487]

I LOVE THIS!!! cannot wait to try - I need pot holders and think this would be great for them!!

[@lieselgutierrez7439]

So many wonderful patterns so little time. 😄 I love this pattern too❣️

[@RachelCrochets]

I have done this stitch with double crochet stitches, and it's just beautiful... I like the singles for scrubbies though!!

[@moosecanfly2]

Holy crochet stitches Batman. I didn't know you could do this. You madam are a life saver. Now I don't have to learn how to knit

[@RebeccaJuntunenscootersworld]

Thank you so much for a really well explained tutorial. I watch all of your videos 😀. Xxx

[@rez_woman6216]

never heard of a Thermal Stitch.... but it looks like a good hearty thick one 👍😉

[@FootballFanLeanne]

I've tried this stitch a few times but couldn't grasp it. I think not using the back bump in row 1 and using a smaller hook was detrimental to me. Your tutorial is so easy to follow so I'm going to try one more time.

[@NonnaE828]

Thank you so much. I've learned so many new stitches with you.

[@yolandacaldera7653]

Another winning stitch! thank you!

[@ruthkaplan5539]

I was having trouble with the edges too so I started making a stitch into the turning chain. It never looked right but it did not cause an indentation in the side that I got when I finished the row with the last stitch; it always seemed to come out shorter than the row before and I didn't like that look. The first row on single crochet always seemed to leave a bulge where the chain turned around to begin that row when I did the next one. I can see in your video that ending on the last stitch is the correct way to do it. If the bulge is too obvious, I can add yarn at the end to make an i-cord loop there. Some videos on KZbin chain 8 extra stitches to make a loop but it looks too flimsy to me so I stopped doing that and then I found one video that did an i-cord and looked up videos on that too.

[@ruthkaplan5539]

I hadn't worked on my pot holder for several months after moving. I came back to your video for a reminder on the first and last stitches of the row because it is so well done and your instructions are so clear. Thank you. I'd like to suggest that you remind people that acrylic yarn can melt if it gets too hot so cotton is safer to use for potholders.

[@scaredofmice8658]

Another winner wow

[@tracieandthecrazyturtle477]

I love learning new stitching

[@cherrilgallagher7875]

Hello Glenda this stitch is a beautiful stitch I would use it for a baby blanket, you are awesome as ever always in your teaching the stitch great job 🌹🙏🏼🌹🌸🥀🌺

[@mudgy6485]

Pretty for a baby blanket. I’m gonna one using those same colors

[@dianeoconner7246]

Glenda, I have loved your videos since I started crocheting almost 2 years ago. You never fail to amaze me with your patience in doing these videos and going over and over how to do the patterns. Thank you so much! I wonder if this would work to make a purse?

[@bonnierudio2487]

gonna have to try this out for a blanket, very unique!

[@ninavelasco3481]

Looks great thank you

[@redbrick9634]

I experimented with slip stitches for the finishing row, and it looked better to me than finishing with sc.

[@patriciapoole9983]

This is a really pretty colors ......

[@donna57]

Love this stitch, would make a warm lapgan, thank you

[@Junyvee05]

I really like this stitch. Don't know what I can make with it yet... Was thinking A Christmas tree skirt? Maybe to thick for that?? I will think on it. Thank you, love watching your videos

[@valeriawzepeda]

Looks thick and heavy. I bet that would work great for a pet bed, bath mat, or yoga mat.

[@LyndaThomasflymefree54]

I like it very much. I think it would be great if you gave us yarn amounts for ... let's say a rectangular baby blanket for the stitches you create each time with your yarns. I'm grateful for your vids.

[@lindagiacomozzi4477]

Do you have patterns using this stitch like a hat or ourse tote or anything would like to see it Thank you love this stirch

[@Fathoms_of_Pearls]

This seems to be the stitch good for dishcloth n hot pads. I will try this with cotton n let you know, thank you

[@bearteddy1992]

I have made several hot pads and pot holders a few years ago using this stitch and using the sugar n cream and lily n cream cotton yarn, they are great

[@barbsanderson231]

it's an awesome stitch for dish scrubbies and hot pads. I have made a lot of both of these with this stitch and it's great for potholders.

[@helenrieck2343]

This stitch was easy to learn, thank you, but I wonder if this will be a yarn eater if you make a throw or a blanket, it would be real warm, that is for sure.

[@CreativeGrandma]

Yes this is a yarn eater for sure

[@rebeccamay6420]

The thicker construction will eat up more yarn per square inch, as it takes more bunched-down rows to get to the same height as regular single crochet. But it will certainly hold more heat in/out than regular single crochet!

[@moniquesmits6574]

Hey Glenda nice stitch and i always use the 'bomb ' on my chain 😁😁😁 Greeting from The Netherlands

Do you have a tutorial on making a beanie with the thermal stitch?

[@connyschumacher2872]

Hello Glenda I watched and stored all your stitches of the week. I need your help.and I hope you can help me. How so I crochet a little triangle with just 4 rows and one Picot on the top. I hope so much you can help me I thank you allready with lots of greetings from Conny in Germany ❤️🙋

[@MsLilbj]

I love this stitch! I am making a blanket now! Has anyone tried it in the round?

[@carolbadoni56]

My next project for a bath mat.

[@maryshirley4048]

I love it this stitch. Would love to try some pot holders. Would the yarn melt if you pick up something hot? Could you get the same affect with cotton yarn? Love your videos.

[@sandisitze3329]

Would this stich be good to make a weighted blanket if you used the blanket yarn? I guess I want to k ow if it will be heavy enough for that.

[@Sharifah54]

Creative grandma when using multi colored yarns end of every rows do we need to cut off if we cant finish a row or can we just continue . That means one colour can be 2 row plus excess maybe few of the same color lets say white and halfway we continue whatever colors come after that white color.
