I have watched this video to the end and it was worth it for many reasons because I’m crocheting most of my spare time and all your videos are brilliant. Now you’ve made me laugh too by telling us that you even invented some new words…..something that only a crocheter or knitter can understand…😂❤

[@PlayHookywithMe]

😂😂🙌🏻💕

[@overcomer4060]

I knit and crochet, and I think just learning to knit is way easier. But if you can’t, or don’t want to, then this is cool.

[@jennierollins8789]

Oh my gosh! This is so wonderful and exciting. You have a great mind to keep all of those stitches separate. They are all beautiful. You make everything look so easy that it's hard to believe you would have any trouble at all. You made me laugh out loud when you said you created new words and cookies helped. I haven't done these stitches but I have experienced those emotions while crocheting. Do you ever wonder who created these stitches to begin with? Your blanket is gorgeous. I love the color. Thank you for sharing. 🌍☮️🌲🍁

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Haha - I was going to share one of them but I was afraid I’d get a strike from KZbin 🤭😝 Thank you so much, Jennie! Have a great week 👏🏻💕💕🧶 (Ps - I wonder who invents these all the time - I wish I had that brain capacity- I struggle with 2+2!

[@jennierollins8789]

I know you don't struggle, but I certainly would have liked to meet these people. KZbin probably would not like it. You could share your cookies. 🤗 🍁

I love them all but the camel stitch caught my attention as I have never seen it before. Looks so nice and different ❤ thank you so much for the well explained tutorial. Great as always xx

So kind, thank you so much 😍🤗❤️

[@melissagreen714]

I literally just had a meltdown from trying to knit which I'm done trying to learn. I'm a crocheter so I'll just stay one. Thank you so much ❤

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Ohh no 😞 I know that frustration. Give it some time and try again. I’ve been thinking about making some knitting tutorials to hopefully help simplify it for beginners. I might just do that . I think you would love it given some patience. But, yes , if you want to get a knit look with crochet instead - Tunisian crochet will get you there! There are a lot of great tutorials and projects out there 🙌🏻❤️

[@melissagreen714]

@@PlayHookywithMe 🥹 that would be great if you did knitting tutorials in the future. I really appreciate how you explained and showed everything.

[@simplymadebyhand]

That’s really cool 😎 I do both knitting and crochet and the crochet stitches you did are very accurate ❤❤❤❤

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you so much ! I love to knit too so it was really fun to find some crossovers! 😀🧶💕

[@angelabirkett9671]

Good morning Roz and a happy Monday to you . I love this video tutorial . Its amazing to see how crochet stitches transform into knit stitches . I learned the tunesian stitch ftom the ctocheting school book and i made a few house slippers for xmas giveaways . I just love your videos and can always learn something new from you . Job well done . Have a great day and give biscuit a cuddle for me .

[@PlayHookywithMe]

House slippers! Oh, sounds wonderful 😀👏🏻🧶 Have a great week from me (and silly boy 😽) 💕

[@lighthousefan5538]

Thanks for this tutorial. It is just what I needed. I make a lot of projects on my circular knitting machine that need tab closures. Now, I can crochet them on and match the existing pattern.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh, that’s wonderful, glad the video was able to help 🧶👏🏻

[@angieelliott8741]

I love the look of knitting, but i am a much better crocheter. Thank you for this tutorial!!

[@maryt2887]

Great tutorial! I’m both a knitter and a crocheter and often choose knit projects because of the smoothness of the finished fabric. Now, I know how to create that effect in crochet.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

So glad you enjoyed it 😀🤗 it was fun to experiment 👏🏻💕

[@maciekjaskulski3033]

I used to knit a lot and I tried crocheting recently. I love how fast and mobile it is compared to knitting with two or more long needles, but I missed all of the iconic stitches, especially the fisherman's rib. After watching this tutorial I feel 100% converted 😂 thank you!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hahaha that’s great but you’re right , there’s nothing quite as beautiful as a fisherman’s rib 🤩

[@autisticburrito1056]

The first one was my favourite. Thank you

[@jonettedecamp408]

I am always excited when I see your newest posting! I have learned so much from you and I am ever so grateful. I find crochet as my favorite yarn medium; however, I also appreciate and love the smooth appearance of knit. Thanks to you, I now can have the best of two worlds. I am excited to try all of these stitches as well as tunisian crochet. Thank you again for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you get use out of the videos! 😀🧶❤️

[@jgraef919]

Great video. I do not know how to knit but have often wondered how to get the knit-look from crocheted items. The only stitch I was aware of for the knit-look was the tunisian stitch. I like creating items with the tunisian stitch, but I am not fond of the "curl" that is characteristic of tunisian crochet. I'll try these new stitches this week. Roz, again, great video and as always, thank you for your excellent advice and your do's and don'ts.💖 Joan

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thanks so much , Joan! 💕I really enjoyed the Tunisian crochet knit, but you’re right, the curl is a pain… definitely one that needs help with blocking. I wonder if starting with a larger hook for that initial chain makes any difference? I should have tried that as a test. 🧶

[@pateisele4513]

I love your videos! Thank you for all your help!😊

[@tammyturner5507]

“ I invented new swear words “ 🤣🤣. I can relate!! Long time crocheter and TRYING to learn knitting 😡😳🤣🤣

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I love knitting . In a lot of ways it’s easier to learn but I struggle so much with fixing dropped stitches or working with multiple needles. So hard to me 😫

[@overcomer4060]

Keep trying, I am a self taught knitter, and it took lots of stubborn determination, but I’m so glad I never gave up; I enjoy knitting soooo much! I crochet too, but I love knitting. One day things just clicked, and I got it. I’ve been knitting ever since then. Just tell yourself, “other people do this, so I can too!” (That’s what I told myself!)lol

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@overcomer4060 thank you 🧶🧶❤️

[@Mianna.]

Thanksss- I really wanted a knit top but my tension on the needle sucks on the second row

[@Jopan471]

Great

[@Lll-r4q]

Thank you for your video! I was wondering if you think is possible to attempt to crochet a sweater that looks like knitting. This would require I think, a longer crochet needle, but it should be possible. I would love to hear your opinion!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Yes , it’s definitely possible. if you use the method where you go through the middle of the sc, you wouldn’t need a different hook. Otherwise, yes a longer needle for Tunisian crochet would come into play. I’d recommend searching “mock-knit Tunisian crochet sweater” to get some ideas (or similar searches like that with Tunisian ) . I think you’ll be excited by the possibilities 🧶❤️

[@Lll-r4q]

@@PlayHookywithMe Cool! I just love the look of knit but I could never learn, I don't know how they do it without the hook in the needle. I am very into sweaters with figures and I have my eyes on a dragon one. Do you think its possible to replicate detailed patterns?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@ I’ve never tried so I can’t say for sure. Good luck ! ❤️

I wanna do the first one bcz i find it hard to knit but i wanna do like a star glove thing, how do you change color in between?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I’m not familiar with what you’re trying to make, sorry 💕

[@Dollectable_Dreams]

I don't get why the community doesn't call the loops "top", "bottom" and "back loop" to actually refer to the "back bump"!!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Okay ? 😅

[@Dollectable_Dreams]

@@PlayHookywithMe I wasn't referring directly to you. The community in general. 😊

[@hattiem.7966]

I say front and back loop.​@@Dollectable_Dreams

[@MetallicDec75]

Because it wasn't called that it was named what it is.

[@Dollectable_Dreams]

@MetallicDec75 what? Why the back bump is not a loop? Please enlighten me and tell me what it is.....

[@robinrocha2091]

Is it me or are the stitches in the 2nd waistcoat stitch slanted to the left?

[@user-vd1yy5ne3m]

I feel like that’s how waistcoat stitch looks like (ie, it won’t be straight like the Tunisian stitch). I saw someone suggest, instead of hook into the upside down V, go in front of the V. That way it will be more straight looking. But I feel like this way affects how the line of V looks like too. So maybe it’s just down to how individuals like it?

[@Quickpost88]

Isn’t this the Afghan stitch??

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I don’t know - I’ve only ever seen it referred as this 🤷🏼‍♀️
