I am so happy to have found your KZbin channel. I have been crocheting for over 30 years and I always learn something new from you. Thank you for inspiring me!

[@IAMvlagattuta]

I am so happy to see that someone is sharing how to create! I have been searching for someone to explain this part of the process! So glad that you are sharing this!!❤

[@tiahill832]

Very helpful for many! Thanks so much for sharing! Have a great weekend! ❤😘😊

[@CrysDee24]

Thank you, Tiffany, for sharing this process with us. It definitely gives me a deeper understanding of the design aspect. Lots of love and yarny hugs 💗

[@pjscelfo916]

I love watching how you come up with these projects. It's so helpful.

[@Jvovoa33]

I love it. Learning so much that I am super excited just want to pick my hooks and look into my yarnstatch and get into make my own pattern. You're awesome. Thank you, thank you for all that you do for us❤️‍🩹❣️❣️❣️

[@sisterpamop]

Thank you for including us in the process of designing a shawl. You are so very meticulous in your calculations. I look forward to viewing the results of your labor. 🤗

I’m so glad you found my channel too Diane! Love that my content could be helpful or at least fun to watch. 😊❤️🧶

[@mariesimpson5488]

This is great! Love learning how to creat my own shawl.

[@jillparr9079]

Always wanted to learn to write patterns! Thank you for the info, can't wait to learn more 😊

[@liap1293]

This is great info. Love the math!

[@clairegriffiths4536]

Very helpful information. I will use this for my next project. Thank you

[@sparkle4051]

Great video. I learned so much from this video. In the past, when I used a bigger hook than required for gauge, I never realized it also affects draping.

[@shirleychase170]

I do nearly the same but I am bad of not doing the swatch..other times, I just go for it, hahaa. You are awesome! Love crocheting!!!!🎉

[@irene_f.]

This is informative and fun. Thank you for sharing.

[@Crochetedbymichi]

[@peggyharwell3674]

Great video. Very helpful and well explained

[@Christena1601]

Thank you. Helps so much!

[@roseabraham9915]

Thanks for sharing can’t wait for the next one

[@mariaelliott7001]

Thanks Tiffany for this information. I’ll try to use that formula for my crochet projects so I don’t have to unnecessarily frog a project because the calculation is off. Thanks a bunch.

[@sherryrobinson9602]

Great job! Was wanting to learn how the writing process was like for patterns. Many thanks! for taking us through this process. ❤❤❤

Hi Tiffany hansen right now I am working on my cottage core mosaic blanket and granny squares blanket and single crochet blanket and I love your channel and your videos and if you keep making videos I will keep watching them and what is your favorite crochet project to work on right now and favorite type of yarn to used when crocheting and keep up the great work on your KZbin channel and keep up the great work on your crochet projects

[@s.miklaski2286]

Ty 😊

[@aarrisi8907]

Great video learning lits

[@rene7865]

I enjoy learning the math, thanks 😊

[@isisbryan]

I love this video. I have been looking for something like this for quite awhile. I have been watching this video over and over. I use the one of the same stich books that you use but 500 Crochet Stitches: the ultimate stitch bible is my favorite.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Oohh!! I’m going to have to check that book out! Thanks for sharing. 🤗❤️🧶📚

[@LiongateFarm]

Neat video! 👍🏼

[@teacher4life06]

One book that I love for inspo is Crochet Every Way by Dora Ohrenstein. I enjoyed peeking into your design process!

[@debbiespain7245]

The Encyclopedia of Crochet is the Bible❤️

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

HAHA For sure!!

[@lorettadubois3438]

flower hair clip pattern was not at site.new to your channel and would love the printed pattern

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Thank you so much for the heads up! Please email me so I can get the pattern over to you as I am getting everything over to my website person to fix this link. 😊❤️🧶. Email: [e-mail]

[@judypurcell954]

Just curious, would you use less yarn if you go up in hook size?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

That is a great question. Because you are creating bigger stitches you will be covering more area faster but not necessarily using less yarn. What I would do to test your theory is make 2 small swatches using the exact yarn you want to use and each swatch using the different crochet hook. Make the same size square using the same stitch. Tie off at the end to mark the stop then undo the square and measure them out. This will tell you if there was in fact a difference in the amount of yarn used to cover the exact same space made. I hope this helps! 😊🧶🧡

[@sonyahouk1503]

Enjoyed watching but didn't understand any of what you are sying thats why I don't design I just do what others do thank you for sharing

[@tanyad80]

Hi Tiffany, I am curious, I saw in your bead stitch tutorial that the stitch slants in one direction, and your swatch came out crooked, so you blocked it to fix it. Since you switched up the stitch by doing 2 rows of single crochet for the shawl will this cause the beads to slant in opposite directions each row and eliminate some of the slanting of the project? Also, does the bead stitch look the same from the right and wrong side of the stitch?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Tanya! All great questions! So, for me I found that working the Bead Stitch with the new multiple stitch count requirement of a multiple of 2 + 1 where there are actually enough stitch spaces for each stitch I want to make (not working in a turning chain) that seemed to help straighten thing a bit. Also, having that additional row of Sc stitches did seem to help reinforce the positioning. I think the bead stitch looks identical both on the right side and the wrong side. I can't tell a difference. Great question thought!

[@kb_crochet61]

If you had to choose which book do you use most? I can only get one

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Oh gosh... That's tough! I would probably choose the Encyclopedia of Crochet book. But you wont go wrong either way. 😊🧶❤️

Sorry, what's the name of the third video?

Here you go! Video 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWStpJKFmZeYadk AND Video 3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqbXmqKIqsqSb9k 🤗💖🧶

[@GeceHug]

@@CrochetWithTiffany Thanks so much!! I have been watching many of your videos lately, they are very good. I was wondering if you have any more videos on pattern making, it's something I'm very interested in learning, but I can't find any specific information here on KZbin, for example that software you used to design in video 2. Is there any course I can buy to start making my own designs?

[@luludowning7203]

How did she know how much yarn she used in each section? You you completely undo the work and measure that way?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Yes, that’s how I do it to get the most accurate dimension for the math. This is also why I just make a small swatch instead of something massive. The process is quicker. 😊❤️🧶

[@luludowning7203]

@@CrochetWithTiffany thank you! I just started so I'm completely clueless so I'm watching everything to absorb as much information as I can 😁

[@ЛюдмилаФёдорова-э5е]

Тьфу, сколько болтовни лишней....

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

But that is what this video was all about. Talking through the design process in real action. Seeing how someone designing a pattern will work out how they might want it to go and what to do when you realize that plan wont work.
