I really like this method instead of a chain 2 or 3. Thank you, Tuula! And the scenery was a bonus!

[@TuulaMaaria]

Great! Many people mention the scenery, I really should add a bit at the end of all videos!

[@stephanielaakson8960]

Good Morning🌄! Ah Ha moment. Turn, no chain one. It's small corrections and techniques to make new habits. Thank you for your help! Have a fabulous today, Steph

[@TuulaMaaria]

Thank you Steph, yes, we can always get used to doing things in different ways!

[@suebigger5097]

[@patbrain913]

Thank you for the lovely scenery, where I live is not so pretty, ok but not as beautiful. Your crochet tips are always welcome, and they always work !!! Thank you from London

[@TuulaMaaria]

Thank you so much! There are many lovely places in London too

[@JJW77]

Tuula, are a very good teacher! Finland looks so beautiful, I hope to visit Finland one day!!!

[@TuulaMaaria]

Thank you! Hope you will visit!

[@karenbailey9424]

Hello Tuula! Thank you for the video. I’ve been using the stacked single crochet for a little over a year and really like the way it looks. Like you, I like the ease of crocheting into it as opposed to a chain. Your tip on matching to a half double row is new to me and I’ll be using that the next time I am using half doubles in a project. It never fails that you have a tip I can use!

[@TuulaMaaria]

Thank you, so glad that you get new tips from me! Happy crocheting!

[@peggycrochetz2400]

Tuula, I always enjoy and put into practice, all of the tips you share! They are ever so helpful and Very Much Appreciated! The Village is stunningly Beautiful 😍 Thank you for sharing! Love & Blessings from Florida🩷

[@TuulaMaaria]

Thank you so much, happy to hear! All the best!

[@mscscottage1277]

What a great tip! I have forever made a chain one and turn method. Then all kinds of first double crochet method. I am going to try this one on my net project!

[@TuulaMaaria]

Lovely, I'm sure it will work well for you!

[@darthlaurel]

Beautiful scenery! Great tips.

[@TuulaMaaria]

Thank you!

[@belle1010]

Thank you! I was struggling on a shawl I’m working on. Pattern said to chain 2 and turn and I didn’t like the way it looked when I added a DC into the same stitch. This is the perfect fix!

[@TuulaMaaria]

Great, yes, this should make it look neater!

[@mermaidstears4897]

I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you!

[@TuulaMaaria]

So glad to hear, thank you!

[@cathrynlisa]

In my last project, which was in mesh, I actually did this at the beginning of the rows AND did the other method at the end

[@TuulaMaaria]

That sounds like a good idea, I'll try it!

[@A-Ned-D-68]

this is fab...I love it no more holes ....Thanks for sharing :o)

[@TuulaMaaria]

Lovely!

[@Mangalsews-sp5ux]

❤❤❤ Thank you very much for the tips, cannot wait to try them out. Btw that tiny "stretch the yarn/ stitch" is genius! It's so helpful.

[@TuulaMaaria]

Thank you! There are so many little tricks in crochet that are never written in patterns because they would get too long to explain! 😀

[@stitchy_linn]

I always enjoy your tutorials, Tuula, and again you fail to disappoint! While I've done the stacked SC for a chain sub for DC and TC I've never done the HDC this way and I surely will now. Thank you for this!

[@TuulaMaaria]

Great, yes, many tips can be used in a number of ways!

[@dianekassmann8821]

This is very easy to remember, so another great tool for the crochet toolkit. Thank you!

[@TuulaMaaria]

That's great - there are so many tips and tricks we can keep adding!

[@gretchenchristophel1169]

Well...that is something! I have 3 WIPs (who doesn't ?? lol) which are too far along to frog, but, I am trying this on my next new project. Thanks for another great stitch idea.

[@TuulaMaaria]

Great, definitely try it when you can!

[@luciarel8131]

Wow, this looks so easy! I think I might also prefer your linked method, but this seems so simple. And thank you for sharing the scenery. One of my favorite outdoor places is a wooded path by a lake, the gentle sound of water and leaves. ❤

[@TuulaMaaria]

Thank you! I really love that walk the clips were from, there are rarely other people there at the same time and the nature is so peaceful!

[@ChrisTina-ln4yk]

What a great tip! I always figured I was doing something wrong when I got big gaps. I'm going to save this for later. Thank you so much, Tuula! ❤️

[@ChrisTina-ln4yk]

And beautiful village!

[@TuulaMaaria]

So glad it was helpful! 💗

[@suzannebridges7334]

Thank you, I'm well, have a good day!

[@johnamctaggart6512]

Tula i have been crocheting for many years always learning new stitches, but what size is the yarn you r using in these demonstration videos,it looks smaller in size than mine and what size hook do i use . i look forward to your info thanks for you great videos please bring many more!!!! Fri .May 31 24

[@TuulaMaaria]

This way works in any yarn, from fingering to bulky, just need to check that your hook goes with the yarn you have. The yarn I'm using for the demonstration is worsted weight wool hook is 4 mm.
