I slow down the playback speed to half so I can follow along in real time exactly as she’s doing it. It really helps. She sounds drunk, but it makes me giggle. 😆

😂😂😂😂 you're NOT ALONE SIS

[@adrianghandtchi1562]

Oh my God, it turns out all the problems. I’ve been having, doing the double stitch, crochet, and having to pick up the loop, because it could never go through with the hook, no matter how much I tried, it turns out I was missing one of the steps and I think I probably did a weird ass stitch that was definitely not this. Finally I just gave in and decided to play this video at quarter speed and I found out what exactly I did wrong. Thank you so much.

[@samaanthag]

As a brand new crocheter, your videos have been THE MOST helpful out of all of them. The thick blue yarn on the yellow background, explanation of # of yarns and what direction to go... thank you so much. I almost cried so many times trying to crochet lol but you saved my work! Turns out I was yarning UNDER instead of OVER and couldn't figure out why my loops were so tight!

[@ambermarieallison9450]

literally the easiest tutorial for this stitch for a beginner like me! thank you 💖

[@taylordavispomerleau]

The Woobles taught me how to crochet. I 100% believe anyone can learn with one of their kits!

[@JennessaDizon-Roslin]

I love how you give such clear, simple instructions without so much intro information. Thanks!

[@morganbush96]

Beginner here and your videos are my go-to videos for help.

[@summertime69]

Last month i ordered a woobles kit (fred) and while it wasnt very good, ive been on a crochet bender for 5 weeks. The instructions from woobles has been absolutely amazing! Simple and easy to learn.

[@moondive4ever]

Master level class! Thank you for this incredible teaching. Slow enough for a beginner like myself. Grateful!

[@dikulaa]

I appreciate you starting immediately with the stitch in the beginning a short video straight to the point was needed :p

[@lazylittledragon]

"It's me,hi I'm the problem, it's me" I've been doing a half double thinking it was a double. I watch your video on how to do a HDC but then I was like " then what is a DC?" So then I watched this :) thank you so much Woobles!

[@zZJam._JamZz]

[@greenmanatee6462]

Right to the point!!! Thank you

[@omgomg5993]

super helpful thank you Woobles!❤

[@shawnlegg8790]

I prefer to chain only using one side, it one less YO & PT per chain. It can be done with Single, Double, & Triple crochet. Some will argue that it less secure, that it will stretch later on, but I find that it’s tighter that way.

[@scoutjasperwillow]

wow so easy to follow thank you for this x

[@Galaxyplayz-RobloxandArt]

Tysm!

amazing thank u sm

[@aaaa6430]

Can i ask what kind of yarn you’re using?? 😊 its really pretty!

[@vav5838]

Oh my god. I’ve been doing them wrong this whole time. NO WONDER. I’ve been mistaking stitch increases for double crochet stitches😐

[@celinavarchausky5333]

Thank you!!!

[@CrochetCocoaYT]

I love your videos and company so much I wish I could like volunteer or something to sell the products when im older cuz rn im too young im only 11 :c (P.S I've already made Pierre the Penguin and Fred the Dino)

[@AriOsorio-e1r]

I love you so much

[@royalmaster203]

thanks for the tut

[@jessicagalyon5840]

What kind of yarn is this? I always see it in videos but never found any like this before

[@WendysCraftDen]

Hi I hope you still read these comments, how can I tell when. Reading a pattern is a UK or USA double crochet please. Thank you in advance xx

[@chlo.rin.e]

Okay, I get the general idea and I can do the stitch but what confuses me is the placement of the stitch. So to start off I chained 15 and then began the video to learn the double crochet stitch. I expected to need 15 DC to match up with the rest of the chain but only did about 10 DC before I ran out of chain stitches. Does this just mean that I did it in the wrong opening? or is it normal to need less double crochets than single or chain stitches?

[@elm879]

you need 3 more chain stitches than the amount of dc so with 15 chain stitches you have 12 dc

[@yesno-v9i]

Oh wow thank you alot

[@EcI1p53]

Btw what type of yarn is that

[@rozcoreyclark]

Why do some people stick the hook under both loops, vs. just the back loop? It is tighter/shorter vs. looser/longer.

[@ellagibson3623]

But how do you get the big blue bit in the first place?

[@amandapalsater3024]

What if you have just chained? There won’t be 4 strings on the hook then

[@かい-林恩]

Best on because of the easy oeasy yarn i can see the yarn instead of athousand little tiny peices of yarn causing brain damage

[@aulay70]

I have been pulling 3 st through

[@EcI1p53]

It keeps making holes what should I do

[@tk-vh3vn]

So how many V’s do you get from a double crochet?

[@gillianstendel9204]

Just 1. It increases height of the stitch but not number of V's, so its stille the same amount of stitches after, if that is your question

[@tk-vh3vn]

@@gillianstendel9204 thank you! Yes that does!

[@dragooon195]

Too good

[@Funnytumesusually]

I got increase/decrease no problem- why is this so hardddd😭😭😭😭

[@jjdrawz555]

What yarn is that, because that ain’t no yarn anymore.

[@JChaytor86]

I'm really confused, maybe this is a UK thing but we'd call that a triple stitch I think

[@daybrothers]

yeah this vid is us terms

[@JChaytor86]
