I keep this video in my saves. I always go back to refer to how many chains and getting started. Once I have that reminder, it’s so easy..which I appreciate very much!! These have become the most requested dishcloths by family and friends. Thank you for creating this video and such simplified instructions.

[@AmandaCrochets]

I do have a waffle blanket on my channel. It’s called the rainbow waffle blanket.

[@MEw650]

@@AmandaCrochets , oh! I’ll check it out. I started the waffle dishcloth last night. I really like it. I can follow your instructions easily; you’re a great teacher. I’ve made several of your patterns. I’ve done the grit stitch washcloth, the slant shell dishcloth, the Suzette baby blanket, the winter wonderland scarf, the boardwalk dreams scarf, which I LOVE, the iris stitch scarf, and the tidal waves baby blanket.

[@kylemargerum4537]

I’m getting so frustrated. I was able to successfully complete one dishcloth just fine. The second one is giving me trouble, because I end up with too many double crochets on the first row. How many are there supposed to be? 33 or 32 double crochets for row one?

[@AmandaCrochets]

The waffle stitch can be a little tricky. For your first row, you should have a total of 33 double crochets. Hope that helps!

[@shoushoubea]

She has 32 DC plus the chain. I had an issue too, watched this video over and over, and watched her other waffle stitch pattern video kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5-nd6WAipenl5Ysi=YYFVYdMSx_6VRvlo in that video she actually counts out all of the chain. And when she got to the end of row 1, after the last FPDC, she has one DC plus the chain left. In this video, at the end of row 1, after the last FPDC, she only has 1 chain left. Since the number of DC should be a multiple of 3, that’s an indication she’s one short. I think it actually works out better this way, and it’s a beautiful pattern. Many thanks to the author for sharing. I just HAD to figure out where I went wrong😂

[@beverlyholland861]

[@76sien]

I love the waffle stitch for a dishcloth. Made a babyblanket once with this stich. Now I am making this dishcloth, but I keep ending up with one dc to manny. I've been starting over 3 times and I just don't get it right. 35 chains, dc in the third from the hook, so you get 33 dc's, chain one, turn, dc in the first stitch, then crochet around the next and 2 in the top. Go on till the end. But after the last set I have to go around the next and then I have 1 dc left and the chain 2. I keep counting and counting, but I don't know were I'm going wrong. Please help.

[@AmandaCrochets]

If on your first row it’s now coming out correctly, you can make a dc in between the last dc and the ch 2. Everything should still come out evenly after that. Hope that helps!

[@76sien]

@@AmandaCrochets Thank you. I will try!

[@SouthernStirred]

May be a silly question but, how many double crochets should you do on the first row? 33 or 32?

[@AmandaCrochets]

I ended up with 33 double crochets in the first row 😊

[@SouthernStirred]

@AmandaCrochets Thanks so much! I ended up with 33 as well but something didn't look right but I just patched up the spot that looked a little wonky and kept on going. Haha. Thanks for the video. I love the dishcloth.

[@AmandaCrochets]

@@SouthernStirred you’re welcome! Glad you made it work. I’ve been there at times too, especially if I accidentally skipped a stitch. Lol

[@mariawilkerson1237]

Be careful not to crochet into the top loop of a front loop double crochet! You will get an extra stitch plus a stitch that looks like a 'y'

[@AmandaCrochets]

Thanks for the tip!

[@hollykatherine4637]

Amazing video

[@AmandaCrochets]

Thanks!

[@tracischallau3917]

Your videos are amazing! On the waffle stitch, if you want it tighter can you use a size G-4.25 hook?

[@AmandaCrochets]

Thank you! Yes you can always use a different hook size or yarn to complete this project 😊

[@user-vy5xy2ul3b]

So. If you do a king size afghan how many stitches would you chain ?

[@AmandaCrochets]

I can’t say for sure as I haven’t made a king size blanket, so the best advice I can give is to keep chaining in a multiple of 3, lay your chain over your king bed and see if you like the width of it. Once you’re satisfied with the width, you will add 2 chains to the very end. If I had to guess, I’d say around 285 chains.

[@shaybonilla9308]

@@shaybonilla9308 aw thank you! I appreciate your support and happy crocheting 🧶

[@lahraewirtz7404]

I'm unsure about this, it doesn't seem to be very square. Usually when you do a double crochet, you are turning and then chaining 2. Can you explain why you only chain 1, and then on the 3rd row you use the turn chain as one of the stitches you put a double crochet in? This seems very odd, and in the video you can see that your row bows out a bit. Just wanting some clarification on that? Thanks, I do like this pattern, trying to figure out the rows though, as I really prefer to just use the cloth without a border stitching.

[@AmandaCrochets]

This is how the waffle stitch is done. I’m just following the guidelines of how this stitch is made. Once the dishcloth is made, it does tend the stretch out a little bit. Not sure if the waffle stitch is made another way, but this is the way that I learned. 😊

[@ceciliacroes3583]

Great love it

[@AmandaCrochets]

I’m glad!

[@chastityfirlotte5901]

I'm having trouble getting the raised part in between the rows (I crochet left handed so everything is a bit backwards) any tips?

[@AmandaCrochets]

The raised stitches in between are from working the front post double crochets. This should show up more prominent once you make more rows. I’m actually thinking about making my videos more accessible for lefty’s. Thanks for the inspiration 😊🧶

[@haleytyrrell9609]

The waffle stitch makes an excellent dishcloth. I tend to make mine without a border. Is that okay to do? You did a great job teaching us how to do this stitch. Love the tutorial. :)

[@AmandaCrochets]

Thank you! Yes, you could make this without a border. It’s all personal preference 😊

[@haleytyrrell9609]

When you make new dishcloth videos, I have a suggestion for you. Especiably for some of your blind and visually impaired viewers, such as myself, I was wondering if you could say in the video how many rows you are doing of whatever the pattern is before you get to how many ever inchesa especially when you're trying to make a square shape, as is the case for a washcloth. This would be helpful if you don't have a tape measure on hand. I realize everyone's tension is different, but that would help to give a rough estimate if that makes sense. Your videos keep getting better, Amanda. Keep up the awesome work.

[@AmandaCrochets]

@@haleytyrrell9609 Thanks for the suggestion! I am trying to get better with this in future videos as I know it can help more people understand how many rows to make. Thanks for watching!!

[@odellpark]

It looks simple enough but I’m having a hard time figuring out which stitch to do the dc after the fpdc. There is a stitch hidden behing the post but also one directly after it. And my count ends up off.

[@AmandaCrochets]

Glad you figured it out!

If I wanted to make it smaller, would I just use multiples of 5? Or a different calculation? I am fairly beginner, but I love this pattern and it's making me look like a pro!

[@AmandaCrochets]

If you wanted to make this smaller, you would need to make the dishcloth in multiples of 3. You will only add 2 more chains to the very end once you’re satisfied with the width. Hope that helps! Good luck 😊🧶

[@rachelannaree8707]

Definitely questioning my own intelligence at this point 😂I have watched you do row 1 & 2 a million times and on the last stitch before the chain at the end of row 2 I am ending on a DC not a FPDC. I did ch. 35 like you said and did a DC in each stitch starting with the 3rd chain from the hook and ended up doing 33 DCs in row 1. Not sure how I am ending on a different stitch when repeating the sequence. Send help😭

[@AmandaCrochets]

I'm sorry you're having difficulties! The waffle stitch can be a little tricky at first. For row 2, as long as your last stitch is a double crochet into the top of the chain, you should be just fine. Hopefully that helps!
