    This is the best crochet tip I have ever seen. The look of my work is starting to be very professional. I thank you very, very much not just for the great tip but also for your generosity in sharing it with all of us. Some people might not want to share a tip this good but the fact that you did just shows what a kind and generous person you are! I wish you all success.

  • @gailrussell9104
    @gailrussell9104 Před 4 lety +26

    Ingenious! I have aways hated the edge of crochet for this very reason. I hope you have or will do a tutorial on seams when joining two edges ( i.e. sideseams or setting in sleeves).

    • @LittlejohnsYarn
      @LittlejohnsYarn  Před 4 lety +4

      Thank you so much. I think I will do a seams video next 🥰

  • @lifeofchasingdreams
    @lifeofchasingdreams Před rokem

    The amazing thing about this method is when doing a border or finished edge you have two chain spaces to go into! Takes the guessing out of where to put them! Love it!

  • @roxiestead4427
    @roxiestead4427 Před rokem

  • @iansmith2013
    @iansmith2013 Před 2 lety

  • @LoveIsAlwaysHereChooseLove

    Excellent, helpful video! Thank you for getting straight to the point and for being such an excellent teacher! Thank you!

  • @dawnkindnesscountsmost5991

    SO EASY!! Fantastic tip, I love this. I also appreciate your straight-to-the-point nature of the video, and the bright color of the yarn against the white background- that greatly helps us viewers see what you're showing us, even in low-res (I did up mine to mid-res. for even better viewing). Thank you so much.

    Omg! New subscriber here. I'm crocheting a blanket now and wanted to find how to get cleaner edges, so with my search I stumbled upon your channel. I tried this stitch, and geez what a difference! I started watching your other videos and now I'm "HOOKED" 😆. Thank you so much for the clear, close up instructions. This will forever change my crocheting! Thank you!

  • @subakai
    @subakai Před 10 měsíci

    Thank you for this! All those gaps in my work, and I didn't know how to fix it...very frustrating! I've tried another video before but yours is so much easier because I can pause it! You also give a better close up of what the stitches look like. I follow you on IG. Thanks again!

  • @thethriftyfawn
    @thethriftyfawn Před 3 lety

  • @toniboyle9895
    @toniboyle9895 Před 10 měsíci

    Thank you! I‘m self taught and have always struggled hen turning at the end of the row - especially when it comes to determining what the last stitch in the row actually is. You broke it down beautifully!

  • @arctaex

  • @cateberthelet1528
    @cateberthelet1528 Před 2 lety

    This is absolutely GENIUS!! This will be especially good for making stuffed crochet items. I have always gone around the seams with a warning needle and yarn to 'close up' all the gaps but will no longer need to do this. THANK YOU!!!!

      @RM-vc2fc Před 4 lety +1

      My daughter just adopted a dog & I'm working on a sweater for him right at this very moment - which is why I looked up this video (just recently found you). Hope you're able to have the new video out soon! And may I suggest using reflective yarn? Red heart has it & I've only seen it available online, not in stores yet. Thank you so much!! 🐕

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! I love this method to get straight double crochet edges. I am struggling with learning how to change yarn color (like stripes in a blanket or scarf) with this method. Would you please consider doing a follow up video with changing colors while keeping straight edges in double crochet? You do a great job of explaining crochet steps. Thank you!
