I love making striped scarves, tried several different techniques for the color change, this one is brilliant , thanks for the video!

Brilliant! And yours is the best explanation of the magic knot that I have seen. It always looked so complicated before. Thanks for the great video! 🧶

I'm mow watching the "How to Close Foundation Chain Gap". I love your simple explanation and teaching methodology. From a teacher to another teacher. Thank you so much. May you be greatly blessed.

Great idea

Wow thanks never knew this! So glad u showed us! Love it!! ❤❤
@@Value1lady thanks! Glad it helped. Thank you for watching 🤗
just a random question, I am left handed, will this make a difference? my knots are back to front, does this make sense?
@@kimbarnes7901 hi! I don’t think it would make a difference as long as you’re following the concept and the knot ends up where you want to color change to be. Let me know!
This sounds silly but someone told me to turn my large granny square is this true
@@kathiewester1156 yes I’d suggest it. If you don’t you will eventually get the pinwheel look
Good afternoon 🌞 blessings and crochet 🧶 awesome 😎 thank you 👍🏾
@@ShettikkaWoods-jl8iq thank you for watching! 🤗
Just finished a temperature blanket. Sure wish I'd have known this technique. Instead I will spend as much time weaving as i did crocheting 😵💫
@@nanceewenning1727 oh no! Yeah that’s exactly why I started doing this technique! Thank you for watching and good luck! 🤗
Thank you so much!! I've been wondering about that for a long time ❤
Thanks for watching! 😄
August 26, 2024: Thank you for the best overview of tying the knots. I have come back to crocheting this past month and finally got my ends straight but changing colors at the end is a struggle till viewing your insturctions. I had long tails to weave in for fear of it not staying in place. Your work is so clean. I know practice I will get there with your expertise. This is now a part of my go to. Thank you for sharing your talents in both instructions and how you have your camera.
@@orapronobis2149 thank you! So glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching! 🤗
I wish I knew this when I was making blankets with different colors,,, how nice, thank you so much
@@nadinepierce3016 hope it helps! Thanks for watching! 🤗
How long did you bake it for and for how long. Cant waitnto give this a try.
@@LizziesCreations-i5t it’s been so long but I believe it was at the temp the clay called for (that can vary) and due to the thickness I baked for an hour and a half. Thanks for watching! 🤗
New sun here! I just used this method today! I can’t believe I’m seeing this because I’ve been thinking about this for a few days. And here we are! ❤
@@patriciaratchford2826 so glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching 🤗 and for the sub!
Does this work with single crochet ?
@@Balllacito it can yes. It’s harder to hide the knot with smaller stitches.
Thank you!!!!!

Thanks for watching! 🤗
Hi, well to Knot two colors together in a piece that you are crochet or Knit is Not a realy good way, sorry and this Not in Special is Not realy save enough👎. Because i have practis it in a beautiful fair Iles Sweater and half way for the end of the Sweater right in the middle of it a damend Knot like this has loos and i had a big hole. I have must the Sweater All to the hole unstitch and that was Not funny believe me in Special with fair Iles. So yes it is many work sometimes to sew All in the end BUT it is SAVE and nothing will demage Your Project. 😉😉 LG lally
I have been using this method for years and never had one fall apart. If you tie it tight enough and dont cut too close to the actual knot, it works. Sorry you had an issue.
@@helmsfamilyhi, mayby it goes so long perfekt right to you congratulations and nothings Happen, and you can of course be Sure that i have the Knot tie enough because i want have the issue that i had. This Knot isnt save enough, you will Remember my words when something Happend an issue on a Project that you have mayby work many many times in the way like mine. I cross my Fingers for you that nothing will Happen to you but..... LG lally
I am making a red and gray blanket.
@@user-ng4rz1np4g that will be pretty! 😊
This was definitely the most helpful Block Stitch video I have watched and I watched several. Thank you for sharing. 💜
@@vickiarduini5796 thank you! So glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching! 🤗
Fantastic
@@PAMSTEPHENSON thanks for watching!
I hear that a magic knot still can come undone.. any experiences?
@@Esther-pg6ck I’ve personally never had one come undone but I try not to cut so close to the knot. I’ve had some suggest a dab of fabric glue to help reinforce the knot. Thanks for watching! 🤗
Im so glad you speak on your video, i enjoy your voice. Very calming. I must be old school, the new videos are not for me. This is a nice afghan to make. Your stitches are great, so neat. Thanks so much for this video.

I love joining this way when I need to join the same color or using yarn in random stripes but never could join the way you demonstrated. This is a game changer. Off to practice, lol. I’ll be 84 in December so you are never too old to learn! Thanks so much!
🤩 thank you! Good luck!
THANK YOU for SUCH GREAT INSTRUCTIONS!!! I have just started granny squares and I LOVE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS!!!!
Thank you! Appreciate your kind words! Thanks so much for watching. 🥰
Oh and I've used the magic know before in other projects, just not with a color change at the end of a row. This is why I never do color change projects.
Yeah I hate weaving in the ends! I had to figure something out because I love making striped blankets. Thanks for watching!
Hi. Im trying to reply to your other question but cant find the comment. I saw it in email. I use this all the time with the Caron Simply Soft. The softer the yarn the easier from what I have experienced.
I am using the exact same yarn and just can't get the placement down when you being the two knots together, so I end up with too much old color so I'm finishing the last strict and chaining 1 before the knew colir is there and the knot just will not go through the stitch. It almost looks too big but I'm using the same yarn.
Hmm don’t finish the last stitch of the row all the way measure that point to put the knot of the new color. Undo the last stitch and push that knot up about an inch. Then tie the other color on an inch below. Make sure they are nice and tight then pull together. Hope you can get it! Definitely takes some practice.
Thanks so much for tutorial! Very helpful - I too hate weaving in ends of yarn! Thanks again!❤
Thank you! And thanks for watching 🤗
I finally figured this knot. It's a fancy term for a Square Knot or a Reef Knot! Thank you ever so much!!!
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching 🤗
Excellent instructions. I’ve also subscribed due to your clear instructions and demonstrations. I’m looking forward to learning more stitches from you. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Thank you so much! Appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching and subscribing! 🤗
Fantastic tutorial! Simplified & clear! Thank you!
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you SO much for sharing this tutorial! It has helped me tremendously! ❤😊❤
That’s great! So glad you found it helpful. Thank you for watching! 🤗
Thank you so much for explaining how to turn your project. I never understood there was a right way and a wrong way to turn your project. So, the working yarn always is behind your hook.
Thanks for watching! 🤗
Just found your channel by searching "block stitch" You make it so easy to follow!!! I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more!
Thank you! And thanks for the sub 🤗
Amazing. I new what multiples were but never thought how it all worked. Thank you so much.
Glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching. 😀
So I just finished making this for my new grandson coming in august! My question is should I add a border or leave it the way it is? Thank you for the easy instructions and I enjoyed making it very much.
That’s great! Personally I like it without a border. I feel like it distracts from the drop loop In the pattern.
Hi is there a printable pattern for this. Thanks
I can email it to you. Send me a message - helmsfamily@gmail.com - and I will get it out to you. I am still getting a website set up so I can share documents here but its not ready yet. Thanks for your patience!
@@helmsfamily Thank you for getting back to me and i have sent you a email and thank you. Helen
Hi I haven’t received any email from you regarding pattern I have sent you an email but not sure if you got it. Thanks
@@helenwingate5424 Hi Helen, my apologies, I have not seen an email from you. I got one from another user the same day so I thought it was you. So sorry. Please try again? For some reason the email isnt linking the whole thing so make sure to type it in .. helmsfamily@gmail.com. Thank you!
@@helenwingate5424 found the email in my spam folder! I just sent it to you.
I sorta feel like maybe the more flexy the fabric is and the more open a stitch pattern is the less yarn it actually uses. SC and Bobble are so dense, but DC and V stitch are flexier and move easier, even stretchy a bit. Id be curious if this trend spreads to more open stitches like TC 🤔
Great point! I’ll have to do some more experimenting and see if there is a difference. Thanks for watching! 🤗
@@helmsfamily try the moss/linen stitch. I'd like to know how it compares
@@torihieatt4476 I’ll try that!
Hi I would love to know how of the size of wool that you are using thankyou for sharing and have a nice day and god bless you 😊❤🙏
HI LInda. The yarn in the thumbnail is Caron simply soft that calls for a 5mm hook. The yarn in the demo is Lion Brands Hometown yarn that calls for a 9mm hook but I use a 10mm in the demo. Hope that helps! Thank you for watching. 😊
I would like to know what is the size of the wool is it à 5 bulk yarn ???? Thankyou very much 🙂🙂
