TUTORIAL: Indivisible Clue 9 (EFA 2024 MCAL)

This tutorial works through the first half of Clue 9 of the Indivisible pattern for the 2024 MCAL from Expression Fiber Arts.
All of the parts of the pattern are worked, from the setup through Row 22 (verbal explanation for Rows 23 & 24). However, the main focus is on how to carry the various colors to create the motifs on either side without them showing through or an excessive amount of ends needing to be woven in. Because I go into more detail for when/how to pick up, drop, and carry each color throughout the entire video, I did speed up the straightforward (basic single crochets and most single crochet in front loop only) parts a bit. Even so, this is obviously a LONG video, so timestamps are provided below to allow you to jump to part of the pattern you want to watch without having to search or watch the entire video.

Oh my goodness, THANK YOU! I’m so glad I waited for this video. Did not even occur to me to carry colors along as you did much less the method for doing so. I know these videos take a lot of your time, planning and effort. Please know they are so appreciated. I learned so much.

You are so welcome! I’m really glad it was helpful for you. 😊

This tutorial is so helpful. It makes me want to start all over again.

I am so sorry I wasn’t able to get this video released the same day the clue came out! My editing program was constantly crashing on me and made the editing take so much longer than it should have.
