I feel like although its great to give people the option for a written pattern, but if you’re making a youtube video it should include the full thing so those who can’t afford the pattern can still make the piece. Or give a disclaimer in the beginning about how you will need to buy the pattern half way in.
LOVE how in depth your videos are!! I started crocheting around christmas and so far I’ve completed your bucket hat and a bag!! you’ve taught me everything I know about crocheting :) love ur vids
This is so hard( as my first ever crochet, Im working on it for a week, and always end up starting over and getting mad lol, it ends up being wavy and bumpy or too big, and I always find my needle was going under wrong V part. SO As a motivation for myself I will write here Day 7 of trying to crochet a baraklava(today) ✅ Day 8 of trying to crochet a baraklava- I started the ribbing again, and this time it sits good ✅(Also I started crocheting a checkered bag, and it's going good!!) Day 9 done ✅, have to do the neck part again because it didn't fit into in the final form was too tight but its 1am so I'll go sleep now I have university tomorrow Day 10 and 11 done ✅ and I'm finished ¡! It's overall ugly lol but as a first work I'm satisfied
This shouldn’t be your first crochet. Start with something simple like a scarf or flat patterns. I’ve been crocheting for a while Im no beginner but this is not easy for me either.
I love how clear you are in your videos when tutoring us and thank you for this great tutorial vlog. It so good the balaclava and will use this in winter but I did use different colours it was olive green and beige it looks okay I guess but yours looks 100 times better than mine.
It would be helpful if you could include a stitch count at the end of each row because mine started curling up which I think means I was missing a few stitches but I don’t know how to count them. That’s the only way to know for sure if you’re counting your stitches right.
why did you give away your whole complete pattern, full of detailed explanations on how to do everything, just to near the end (37:51) say you won't tell the number of decreases on like 5 rows or more bc it's in your written pattern????? couldn't you just leave it there written on the screen or record yourself doing it like literally the whole rest of the balaclava???
when doing the 18th row (with the increase on the 13th opening) you only included that we do it twice. are we supposed to go around the entire row doing a single stitch and a double on every 13th opening, or do the rest of the row single after the 2nd double stitch (on the second 13th opening) as single stitches? or do we just stop after the second double stitch on the 13th opening? 29:09
I really enjoy your videos and I enjoy your personality and the way you explained everything✨. But I was a little bit disappointed when I had to stop working on it go download and pay for the pattern for like 3 rows even though you could’ve just shared the information as you do with the rest of the video and whoever wanted to buy the pattern could. Also kinda pricey. Thx
I couldn’t understand whether we are counting the chain two at the start of each row into the increase. That one part where you froze it and said don’t forget a chain looks like the first chain for the chain two. Do we finish off in that stitch?
idk what i’m doing wrong i’ve tried making this twice now and i can’t get the initial circle to stay flat?? it just curls and i’m following the instructions super clearly. i’ve never had this problem while crocheting flat circles before and form what i can tell several ppl in the comments have the same thing happening
Could you explain what you mean that it would look like a different pattern when your decreasing at the corners of the opening? Why do you crochet into the side stitches and not the top? Also what do you mean by go straight? 😅 Thanks!
2 года назад+1
I crochet into the side stitch so each side has a continuous look. If I went through the too I would get lines through the pattern. And go straight I mean no decrease, 1 stitch per opening
Hi, thanks for your tutorial, I've been crocheting this the last few days and love it already. I'm just wondering right now because after row eight of the straight section, where you put the increase, you say now you have a total of 18 rows. So we had 8 rows increasing, 7 straight ones and then on row 8 of that you put an increase again. At the face opening you have a total of 18 rows, so does this mean you do 3 rows (8,9,10 of "straight" section/side portion) increasing every 13th stitch? Because if I do it just once it is 16 rows in total right or am I lost? :D anyway, really like how you explain in detail in general!
I’m the ultimate beginner and I will be doing this as soon as I can! I’ve watched so many tutorials and they are all so confusing…. This one though, this tutorial is amazing!
Love this vid and you're gorgeous babes! so when you slip stitch at the end of a row do you go back into that same stitch for the next row or do you start at the next stitch?
Hi thanks for the tutorial! I’m almost there but I’m so sad because I made the under chin chain larger than you cause I couldn’t get it through my head if I didn’t but now it’s just hanging and looking really stupid, how do you get yours through your head? :(
I LOVE your personality, but the tutorial isn't very good. It started fine, but as soon as it came to the ribbing and the neck piece everything went crazy and nothing fitted anymore. I had to improvise and it looks very cool now, but it's far away from what you did. And I get that you try to make some money of it by selling the written pattern, but it's a little saddening that you won't say the number of chains and stuff like that and just keep referring that we should buy the pattern. Chain counts would have helped a lot. But after following one hour of a tutorial and nothing is working out, my motivation to buy the pattern is pretty low...
I keep failing on the LAST step. I tried linke 4 times. I mean slip stitching the neck to the hat part. it's so frustrating. connecting the two parts the hole gets too small and impossible to stretch, so that I cannot put my head in. what can I do?
You lost me at 33:52 😩The face opening part. First thing I'm confused about is that you say you'll be back once you reach the end of row 2, to show how to finish off and go into row 3. But when you do come back, it looks like you're still on the same end of row 2. So I'm not sure if you're now speaking about row 3. There's two things you mention here: 1. You changed the V points where we are to feed the needle. Is that just for row 3 and on? 2. There's a decrease at each end of row 3 but idk where exactly to place them because you kinda skipped over that part. (complete newbie here if you haven't noticed) Please help 🥲
I figured it out! I realized, after watching numerous times, that you unravelled the little progress you made on row 2 and came back to redirect your viewers to feed the needle through the front Vs. Just a little editing error. It's all good! We're moving along Lol. It's going good but I just noticed I forgot to decrease at row 3 but I am not going back to fix it 😅
So in reading the comments from here and on Etsy it appears that the written pattern is just as confusing as the video. Some people are complaining about how they waisted their money. You would think that a second video would have been made to make it more clear. I’m glad I read the comments before purchasing it. I literally had to go to a entirely new content creators video and improvise 😡 definitely gave this a 👎🏾
I think what’s missing in this video is stepping back and discussing the overall sizing of the balaclava so that it fits your own head. The pattern sold on Etsy only gives a little more info on the decreases and she pretty much gives you everything in the video. I came close to finishing this about a year ago and gave up because it came out wayyy too big and loose for my face. This month I decided to try again so I unraveled more than half of my progress and was more intentional on the sizing; I tried it on many times throughout my progress. I finished it and it looks OK! Still I struggled and had to go outside this tutorial to connect the neck ribbing to the head piece because the slip stitch connection taught here doesn’t allow the yarn to stretch which means that it won’t expand to pull over your head. First time I connected them it was too big, then too tight to even fit on. This was my first crochet project though and I take that into account as a possible reason as to why I struggled with this tutorial.
I think I have a pretty big head/thick hair lol, do u have any recommendations on how to make it a bit larger? Add an extra row with increases to the circle? Would that affect the rest of the pattern?
lo siento pero mal video, después de haberlo visto entero recomiendo ver otro. hay una parte que necesitas pagar el patreon para ver cómo se hace y hace varios saltos de clips que llevan a errores de los que te das cuenta demasiado tarde, por no hablar de la tremenda cantidad de anuncios
this is a great and very clear tutorial, also very relaxing with your voice. however all these freaking advertisements inbetween are making me jump every 5minuts :( please put either less ads or just do them all at once lol
beginning from row two, you are not putting a half double crochet in the "slip stich" stitch? you skip to the second stitch. Right? And then at the end of the row you are putting a half double crochet in the slip stitch? I do it the opposite which is confusing Yeah so for row three you put a half double crochet in the slip stitch? WHY AM I SO CONFUSED LMAO. It cuz when you slip stich the row together the chain two is so loose and the 1st half double crochet looks weird. and then for row 4 you dont even put a half double crochet IN THE LAST STITCH WHERE YOU SLIP STITHC>? LITERALLY WHAT./
This tutorial was a complete waste of my time and money. I literally wasted some very good yarn on this. All for the fact that you want to sell a $6 pattern that I won’t be purchasing after reading all the comments from all the people who said it was a waste of their money. I think it’s sad that you would make a video and leave out important details just to get people to purchase a $6 pattern very deceptive. I almost want to flag this video for misleading and fraudulent advertising. No I will not be wasting my money on purchasing a pattern that is just as confusing as this video. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

did you figure out what how the last 3 rows are supposed to go?
can you PLEASE tell us how to do it, please i beg you :(((

If you are a beginner I do not recommend to follow this tutorial unless you can afford to buy her pattern

my issue is when i stop decreasing and do the sides it only stays flat
I cant wait for the next crochet tutorial!!!

Sheeesh im in love 😍😍

omg lala is so pretty ppl wd pay for her lips OMG
Beautiful! And the color looks beautiful on you.

Thanks, hope you like it! 🥰🥰

The color combo is to die for girl! IT LOOKS AMAZING! How long did it take you to knit this?
Took me about 2 days 😊
its crochet not knit 🫶
Love this vid and you're gorgeous babes! so when you slip stitch at the end of a row do you go back into that same stitch for the next row or do you start at the next stitch?
i tried and failed so hard you really are talented
What is the stitch count suppose to be at each row? Even the written pattern doesn't say. Hard to judge if I'm following correctly without that.
Hi thanks for the tutorial! I’m almost there but I’m so sad because I made the under chin chain larger than you cause I couldn’t get it through my head if I didn’t but now it’s just hanging and looking really stupid, how do you get yours through your head? :(
I have this same problem and I don't know what to do, did you figure something out? I may make it pleated on the sides or something.
thanks for the tutorial💖🥺
wow! super easy to follow, cant wait to try!, about how many yards of yarn do you think you needed for this project?
I used about 100-120g of yarn. Almost the full ball I show in the beginning. Hope this help!
I followed the exact steps but mine started like curling and waving ? Not sure why
Make sure your tension isn’t too tight and that the increases aren’t stacking on top of each other between the rows. Hope this help!
@ can you explain what you mean by stacking on top of each other. Mine is curling/waving too and my tension was quite loose.
Thank you!! Everyone tutorial is so fast I can’t keep up. 😭
I LOVE your personality, but the tutorial isn't very good. It started fine, but as soon as it came to the ribbing and the neck piece everything went crazy and nothing fitted anymore.

Chain counts would have helped a lot. But after following one hour of a tutorial and nothing is working out, my motivation to buy the pattern is pretty low...
shes replied to many comments except urs ugh
I even bought the pattern and it’s no help. It actually doesn’t even match the video at most parts it’s very frustrating
Would this work w chunky (6) yarn?
For the magic circle, in your pattern on Etsy it says to complete 11 hdc, which one is it 11 or 12 ? 💕💕
I think the chain 2 at the beginning counts as the first, and you do 11 more for total of 12
Why aren’t my slip stitches straight?They keep going to the right as I go down
I’ve been looking for the tutorial for one of these but the one with bunny ears 😍 that only shows the eyes
My boyfriend kinda wants one like that, I might make a tutorial on it too 😊
@ Yas i love it too! I cant wait for the tutorial!
Hey can i also do 9 or 10 rows at the beginning? I used a smaller hook and i‘m afraid the circle will be to small…
!Hola Lala! Hermoso el balaclava. ? Lo grabaste en español?
I keep failing on the LAST step. I tried linke 4 times. I mean slip stitching the neck to the hat part. it's so frustrating. connecting the two parts the hole gets too small and impossible to stretch, so that I cannot put my head in. what can I do?

YOU ARE SO PRETTTYYYY
honestly the part where you started decreasing in rows was so confusing as a beginner because the video kinda just skipped throughout the process
Please make a ski mask tutorial
I think I have a pretty big head/thick hair lol, do u have any recommendations on how to make it a bit larger? Add an extra row with increases to the circle? Would that affect the rest of the pattern?
31:30 bookmark
how many grams of yarn do u need for the balaclava? :)
For mine, I needed 1 skein of 100g and a bit, but I haven't finished it yet.
Can this be pulled up to cover the mouth and nose?
i think you have to make that part of the balaclava
I have to agree, the tutorial started off well but then became incredibly confusing and hard to follow
Sadly a waste of my yarn
Does it cover your mouth & nose or no?
could you put the link for that yarn please????

Good luck on finding them!!

Oh dang, this was not helpful. Yours looks really good but from the tutorial I was not able to replicate it:/
What CAN'T you crochet?! 😂😜
why do you keep using the word technically like this isn’t how it is?
