I realize I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released movies online?
@Roger Forest Lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)
OP
This is off topic, but - if someone doesn't like a video, they should be required to say why, IMO. Doesn't have to be nasty or snarky, just explain what's wrong??? I thought this video was spot on and got a great deal of help from it!
LOL. Yes, polite constructive criticism is helpful. A thumbs down tells me nothing. I ignote the thumbs down because I don't need that negativity in my happy crochet place.
My mom left an unfinished blanket when she died. I’ve been trying to figure out the stitch she was doing for 20yrs! (She was left-handed, which made it challenging to figure out) I think this is it! It was the chevron pattern and the stitch had peaks and valleys, making a very thick full blanket. Thanks! I can’t wait to try a camel stitch chevron, turning with each row. 🤞🙏 🧶
Oh that would be lovely. Good luck.
It reminds me of the blankets from I was a kid. It had a soft silky look edge. I like the camel stitch technique because it works for any blanket. 💙
Yes it is hard to find a border that doesn’t require a certain stitch count.
I love the stitch but I don't like how the last row looks,, kinda higher than the rest.
I love how clearly you say the instructoons. Thank you. I heard about this stitch years ago but had no clue how easy it is!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m dazzled by this border. It’s so easy, it is coming out perfect and that because of how good this tutorial is. Thank you, I’m obsessed.
Wonderful! I am so happy to hear that.
Great video and you clearly explained how to do this stitch. It certainly does make a lovely near border. Thank you. 🇦🇺
You’re welcome 😊
Wow! 🤩 What a gorgeous border!
I am glad you like it!
That was one of the best tutorial of finding the third loops that I have ever seen. You really explain things clearly, and you videographer is excellent. I have created baskets using this technique and have struggled with the third loop - no more! I think I will use this for the bottom edge of a sweater I am finishing!
Glad it was helpful!
Love it!!! You help me a lot cause I made a blanket but i didnt like the original border. So i made this one and its perfect 😊
Wonderful!
I love this stitch! Thanks for sharing 😊
You are so welcome!
Beautiful stitch, love your video, so easy to follow, thank you 🤗
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for another great tutorial. My first time doing this stitch. It is so pretty. I am bordering a baby afghan done in Moss Stitch with this Camel stitch.
Wonderful!
This is exactly what I was looking for to border my knitted sampler afghan. Thank you!
I am so glad it was helpful.
How easy! Just the right finish for a very plain cap I made. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thanks so much for this post! I made a granny square throw for my daughter, but wanted something a bit more "oomphy" for the border. This did the trick! She LOVED it and it now has pride of place on her sofa. The border definitely gave it the 'wow' factor it needed. Subscribed and will share with anyone who wants to know how to spruce up their crochet!
Wonderful! I am glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you danger kitty..
Thank you. Such a pretty boarder!
You are so welcome!
Still kinda new to crochet and my friend requested a christmas blanket for his toddler, and I have to say I was struggling as to what border to do but this is the ONE!! It's not only a beautiful pattern but your video is so straight forward and clear to me! Definitely subscribed! Tysm!
Thanks, I am glad it helped.
Great tutorial! Thank you! It gave me the perfect border to my blanket.
Glad it helped!
This is perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. I’m just finishing an afghan and working an accent knit-look row through it. So the half double crochet 3rd loop is a perfect fit. Thank you so much. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
So excited to have found this border! I am on my second row and it is turning out great. Thank you for your educational tutorial. It was so easy to follow.
Thanks. I glad it was helpful!
Very professional! Very professional indeed. Necessary points were repeated just often enough to anchor them in my memory. The video skipped forward through stretches where we would just be watching the same stitch over and over and over again. Her voice is pleasant, her enunciation clear, and the video always stays in focus. There's no "influencer I-want-to-be-your-BFF" silliness. Wow. I have struggled with borders for a couple of years--and now by golly I see how to do it! The corners are especially pretty. (Note to other newbies: don't miss her video on how to do that very first sc round before you start the border proper. It's fabulous too.)
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have used it on a blanket and also on a cardigan, it's perfect!
Sounds great!
Thank you for this tutorial!
You are so welcome!
Great tutorial with clear stitch details! Thank you so much for this and all of your content. I finally finished the body of a gigantic intarsia afghan and this will make a great border. 😊
Great job!
You are an exceptional teacher
Thank you. That means a lot.
This looks knit! amazing, wish i had enough yarn to do this to my blanket!
I am glad you like it.
I love this pattern 🥰 Thank you for sharing this. It's Beautiful ❣🥰❤❤❤❤❤
You’re welcome 😊
Like the camel stitch on my hats. Never thought to do it on a blanket:)
It makes a pretty border. I am looking forward to making more borders.
@@WindingRoadCrochet is there any way you can put this on an 8 pointed star blanket if so can you show to do it
Thank you this was the answer to the problem of how to finish my shawl.
I am glad I was able to help.
This is just right !!
Foolproof..

Hi I’ve just found your channel and this is the perfect border for a baby blanket I’ve just finished the stitch I used is pretty and the yarn colourful so didn’t need a fussy border this is working out very well and is making the blanket sturdy if that’s the right word I think I will be using this a lot thank you again a. New subscriber from Ireland ☘️☘️
Wonderful! I love making simple borders I need to do it more often. I actually have several samples whipped up. I just need more time.
Awesome
Thanks
Nyc thanku 😊
You are welcome
I made mine in three colors. Wish a color change had been demonstrated. I had a bit of trouble with my beginning corner looking right. LOVE the pattern by the way.
I have a video all about changing colors if you need help on future projects. czcams.com/video/PCwLfEnSv8g/video.html
@@WindingRoadCrochet The problem wasn't with the color change exactly--I understand how to do that but that FIRST corner gave me trouble on every row. It doesn't look as good as the other corners so I figured I must be missing something.
I have just finished my waffle stitch blanket for my bed and I have been wondering what border to do to finish it off, everything is either too frilly or too plain.... This is on the plainer side but it just looks like it will fit for what I want.
I love it, so will be using this for sure... Thank you so much, 🙏💐💖
You are welcome. It is a little plainer but not completely plain.
Wonderful video - thank you so much! Do you have any recommendations on the best methods to crochet the squares together, after having finished the camel stitch border?
I use this as the final border. The small square was just a sample. I would use an invisible or mattress stitch to sew the squares together.
@@WindingRoadCrochet Oh, that makes sense. Thank you for elaborating :)
I like your videos. Because you explain how to do the stitch as you go. In a very clear and simple process. Without jumping around or going off the subject.
I'm not trying to be rude to other people. But there have been projects I wanted to do. But the individual would jump around about other things not related to the pattern . So, I would have to keep rewinding the video. A few times, I just gave up. ☹️
I try to keep the videos clear and concise. That way you can spend less time listening to me and more time crocheting.
Hi! Thank you for this. I think I just found my border! I am not very sure if I fully understood. I think on row 2 you said to go into the middle yarn of the top three. But on the 3rd row you say to go into the back one? Which is it? How does this border look in the back? Thanks!
The border is smooth on the backside. I don't completely understand the question. In this pattern we are working into the third loop for row 2 and beyond for every stitch. The third loop is also called the back middle bar. It can be found on the bask side of the stitch half way down the stitch. The only time we do not work into the third loop is when we work the corners.
Winding Road Crochet ohhhhh my bad! My confusion was with the name of of the loop! Back “middle” Bar! Thank you so much for clarifying and again thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Hi, the border looks lovely,but do you think it would cause any problem to chain just one instead of two in the corner? I would prefer a bit smaller holes. Thank you!
No it shouldn't make a huge difference.
I would love to use this border on a knitted cardigan and think I can work out buttonholes, but would love some guidance for the neckband. Thank you
I have never knitted. I know you have to work this border all in one direction.
I love this border! 🥰 Also, what is that darling blanket pattern you demonstrated for this border? I’d love to make it .😊
It was just a stitch swatch. It is alternating cluster stitches and rows of double crochet.
beautiful little friends come out of your hands, I would like you to see mine too, greetings
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi, I love the border pattern but I am just a beginner so I have a bit of problem! In the 2nd row of the border, you are referring to the 3rd stitch on the behind, I cannot clearly see or understand that bit. Can you help?
Yes I am referring to the third loop. It is on the back of the stitch. Here is another video that will explain this better. czcams.com/video/qxMqZyJHlOA/video.html
@@WindingRoadCrochet got it!! That link you sent cleared my confusion! Thank you so much!
I am making the bobble baby blanket; I am not clear on how to use this border with that pattern. When you are on the top or bottom of the blanket there are 120 stitches, so do I DC in each stitch; that seems wrong as I would have more on the top/bottom sides?
The sides and top/bottom do not need to match in stitch count, but the top and bottom should. I am not familiar with the pattern. Is there a different number of starting stitches from the first and last row?
Will try this stitch. What type of hook are you using. Not seen one like that before?
I am guessing it is the furls hook. I use the odyssey hook sometimes (metal hook) and the streamline hooks (wood hook).
How do I not end up with three stitches in each start/end corner on rows 2-7? There are two HDC and a ch2 coming from that previous row’s ch2 sp.
I do not count the turning chain as a stitch. So it is just the first HDC in the corner and the last HDC is worked into the corner and joined with the corner chain. The turning chain does not count as a stitch and should not have a stitch worked into the top of it when starting a new row.
Winding Road Crochet Ok, then what do you do with the extra non-stitch in the corner? There are three “groupings” of yarn coming from the corner and it doesn’t align with the other corners. It’s not working for me. At all. It looks horrible, won’t lay flat, and does give three stitches emanating from the corner chain space.
Do I need to start with a single crochet border before commencing the camel stitch?
Yes. It should say that. I always work a single crochet border around the blanket first then the border pattern. I have vidoe on how to work a single crochet border around your project. It gives you a chance to check your stitch count, but this border can be used with any stitch count.
On the yellow blanket, what is the stitch/pattern that you used for the interior of the blanket?
I think I am alternating rows of double crochet and rows of cluster stitches. It is just a sample I made up and then used for the border tutorial.
Thank you!
Who did you get your hook from. I love the length of the shaft.
I use the Furls Crochet hooks.
Is it possible to crochet this border aroung a knitted project?
Yes. Start with the single crochet border first then work this border after.
How would you change yarn colors when starting a new row?
I tend to change colors during the slip stitch.
Camel stitch cannot be worked in DC, is it? Thank you for this neat tutorial! 🙏
Let me grab my hook and see. I do believe that the DC has a 'third loop' on the back........... Ok yes the DC has a third loop and your could theoretically crochet this stitch with the DC. The knit look that comes out on the front will be more spread out.
@@WindingRoadCrochet Thank you for trying out and sincerely replying! You are right..the appearance will be less attractive with dc camel stitch.. I will go with hdc.
Can we make it with double crochet?
I believe you can double crochet in the third loop but I think the third loop is a little harder to see on a double crochet.
This is beautiful but I can't find the tutorial on how to do a single crochet border around the entire project so that the actual border can be started. Where can I find that tutorial?
Here it is: czcams.com/video/MTAcxoPJJyc/video.html
Thank you so much
When i have been practicing this my corners tend to round instead of being nice and straight, any tips on how to stop that ???
I would work an extra chain in each corner. People tend to naturally chain tighter than when the work their stitches. So add an extra chain in the corners to help keep it from curling.
You don't mention how you got the starting chain two spaces in the corners, is there a step missing? If you have just finished a straight forward blanket with rows of any stitch, is there something you need to do first that's not in the video?
Yes. At the beginning of the video I mention that first you need to work a single crochet border around the blanket. I have this explained in another video because how you do that will depend on what stitch center of your blanket is work in. So there is a video dedicated to how to add a single crochet border to any blanket.
So... when you finish all the rows you want, do you just leave it offer what?
Then I finish all the rows I want, I just fasten off and weave in my ends.
can you use this on a cheveron scarf
You could use it down the sides but you would have to work increases and decreases to keep the chevron part going.
I'm confused, is the hdc and the camel stitch the same thing?
Yes and no. The camel stitch uses the HDC but works it in the third loop or the back middle bar. So it isn't your normal HDC.
I’m confused about what to do on the corner for the 2nd row, are you able to show me a time stamp showing what to do? I’ve rewatched a few times and still am confused about the corner :(
Timestamp is 2:44 for the first corner of round 2. For the first corner you will CH2, then Half double crochet into the corner space, so we are actully working backwards for the first stitch.
Note: we are not turning the work to work backwards just placing the Half double crochet into the CH2 corner that is behind it.
For all other corner of the 2nd round we are working them the same as round 1. So (Half Double crochet, CH2, Half Double Crochet) all into the CH2 corner space. Timestamp 4:22 for 2nd corner on the 2nd round.
@@WindingRoadCrochet thank you! Appreciate it a lot!!
I know I can swatch this but I certainly wish your video had shown the back of this border. With limited yarn remaining I need a border that can easily get ripped back if I run out and cannot finish. A ribbed border is the look I want but that is an all or none border whereas this is cummulative.
I have started showing the front and back of borders in newer videos.
Can you do this on star blanket can you show me how
If you can work a single crochet border around the edge of the blanket first then you can use this border after.
I should be able to thank u
What does the back of it look like?
It is smooth, this is one sided.
@@WindingRoadCrochet thanks
👏👏👏👍👍👍🌹🌿😍😘❤
😊
Why is my camel border curling upwards in corners as if I should have increased my stitches
WE should be increasing at the corners. We are working stitches into the corner space as well as working a new corner space.
Border
yes
I know I am a novice, but I was all in until the 2nd row. Do I crochet every 3rd back space? From the video, it looks like you are crocheting every loop. You refer to it as a bar. Is it the back loop you refer to as a bar? I may just stick to a simple border, this is too confusing. I have re-watched this part at least 50 times and I still don't get it. I give up.
You are working into the third loop only. I am also referring to this as the middle back bar. The third loop is not the same as the front loop only or the back loop only. This loop is located on the backside of the stitch in the middle of the stitch. I have a video that is just on this stitch. Maybe that will help. czcams.com/video/qxMqZyJHlOA/video.html
It’s called back loop only, just letting you know.
You description was a little confusing for me as it is called back loop only not the 3rd yarn.8:)
No. The end result will look wrong if you just work into the back loop only. Working into the third loop (the loop on the back of the stitch that is about half way down the stitch) causes the front and back loop of the stitch to turn forward. The 'V' that is created by the front and back loop is then visible on the front of your work and gives you that knit look.
Your work is no neat and beautiful
Thank you so much 😀
Great tutorial with clear stitch details! Thank you so much for this and all of your content. I finally finished the body of a gigantic intarsia afghan and this will make a great border. 😊
Wonderful!
Very nice!
Thanks!
