    I have been searching for this stitch all night and half of today! I’ve made many blankets using this stitch but I couldn’t remember it for a baby boy blanket I”m starting today. I have a while/blue blended yarn that is going to look adorable. Thanks so much for having this stitch here on YouTube.com. You saved me today!

    Hi Teresa i just wanted to let you know that i managed to teach myself crochet by using your videos and now have made several baby blankets for neighbours and friends. I just used this stitch as a border for my latest creation and it looks great. Thank you very much for all your help and i will continue to use your videos in the future xxx

    If you want to make a shawl in that stitch make a chain of 60
    and and two more before you start. I’m using a pretty yarn
    called Tweed Stripes and the color is called Mixed Berries
    and another color to mix with is called Marble which is a
    grey and silver mix. The Mixed berries is a red and burgandy
    mix. It’s really pretty.

    You have helped me through some really tough times in my life. I found crochet, and you, later than some, but I LOVE it. You were the only one able to teach me. Thank you for that and keep up the good work. BTW i am making a “towel” out of this stitch to give as a housewarming gift. She is gonna flip.

    @bjbear5103 Hiya! For afghans, you can use an afghan hook like in the video, and do 20-30 across. but then do 6 feet worth of rows. They then take these 6 or 7 long strips and connect them together either by sewing a whip stitch or doing some fancy chaining in between. Some just do squares. Additionally, you can get special circular afghan hooks. These are the regular long afghan hook but have a long fishing wire cable on the end. Amazon carries them – e.g. Silvalume Circular Crochet Hook 40″.

    Indeed – my loops are looser mostly for ease in showing the stitch via online video & because I used a large size K hook. The blue/white/pink poncho that you may have seen near the beginning of the video (and the afghan at the end) has a much smaller stitch because I used a size F hook. There really is no wrong or right way as far as stitch size – both large and small are acceptable depending upon the look you want and the item you are crocheting.

    In your video the loops appear very loose. Is that for demonstration only?
