You do a great job explaining!! Thank you. I am a knitter and trying to get my fingers coordinated to hold the yarn correctly so I can crochet. I like that you are showing this clearly. Tha is again
Oh thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful! 😊I'm the opposite - knitting is so hard for my hands to understand what is going on, haha. Maybe one day it'll click for me!
Very nice tutorial, nice manicure, pretty hands, is that silly to say? thank you for a well thought out video with clear verbal instructions. A couple years ago I worked a crochet blanket while recovering from a bad broken ankle. I call it my drug blanket as I was taking awful pain management meds and can’t for the life of me remember what the pattern was called. I made lots of mistakes, but I finished it. This will be my third crochet blanket, because this pattern is doable and so pretty! I feel very confident with your excellent teaching style. And I’m writing down this pattern name,juusst in case I forget!
Oh my gosh, thank you for all of your lovely compliments! You have put a big smile on my face. 🥰 I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial! And I hope that your ankle is all healed up and doesn't cause any further problems. 💕
@@theloopholefox2878your tutorial is excellent! Will you be making more? I crochet best when I can refer to RUclips video for support. You teaching is spot on!!!!
@lisaamrhein4828 Oh gosh, thank you 🥰 I do plan to make more! I moved a while back and unfortunately have moved to an area that is very loud and that background noise shows up on videos/makes it very difficult to film. I am currently in the process of mitigating that and I hope I'll have it all worked out by the new year. 😊
Hello! I am obsessed with this stitch! You explain it so well. However, I am having a problem with losing stitches on each row. I can not figure out what I am doing wrong. Any idea what could be going wrong? Also, where did you get your hook? Love it 😍
Which row are you losing stitches on? The crossed double row or the single crochet row? That will help. It's likely coming either from missing putting a single crochet in the top of the turning chains on the crossed double row, which count as a stitch. If you're losing stitches on the crossed double row, it may come from skipping one too many stitches. You can email me close up pictures and I can take a look. 😊 My email is shannon@theloopholefox.com. My hook is a Furls Streamline Swirl! It is the Cookies N Cream colorway but they've discontinued this color. There are a ton of gorgeous hook colors, though! 😊
@@theloopholefox2878 it seems to be on the first row of the double cross stitches, sometimes the second. I seem to lose a stitch per row. I have started and restarted about 5 different swatches. I’ll snap some pics in a few. You can see one side start to recede due to the stitching. Love the stitch, one side edge is killing me! 😆
Hi! Absolutely! You can use any yarn that you'd like and the Bernat Blanket would make it so cuddly and squishy! 🥰 You will want to make a shorter starting chain, of course, so that the blanket doesn't end up massive. 😊
I cannot get the pattern to work out to 128 stitches on the full blanket count. I'm always off by 2. I have watched the video twice and made a swatch that works out but not on the full blanket. What am I doing wrong?
@kateapostalon8356 Okay, it may have to do with the stitch placement. If you'd like to send a picture of your work, sort of close up so I can see the stitch placement, I can help identify what's going on. If you also could also send pictures of the start and end of the row, that would be great! My email is shannon@theloopholefox.com. With pictures, I can really dig in and put arrows where I notice things. 😊
If the stitch is worked properly, the second double crochet (which is worked in the skipped stitch) will wrap around the post of the first double crochet. Because of this wrapping, the crossed double crochets can look sort of similar to a V stitch because this wrapping of the post is low in the stitch. As long as you have skipped 1 stitch, placed a double crochet in the next stitch and then gone back and placed 1 double crochet in the skipped stitch, it is a crossed double and not a V. If you're a tight crochter with a tight tension, they may look more like a V stitch, as well. With some practice getting used to the new stitch/technique, the tension will likely loosen a bit and they'll look more like X's as well. I hope this helps! 😊

Hi! Could this be worked up with a bulkier yarn, like Bernat blanket? I have a baby shower this Sunday and I need something I can make quickly.
Hi! Absolutely! You can use any yarn that you'd like and the Bernat Blanket would make it so cuddly and squishy! 🥰 You will want to make a shorter starting chain, of course, so that the blanket doesn't end up massive. 😊
Wonderful! Thanks for the quick reply!
@@beccamjo Of course! 😊
Do I have to go into every third stitch every time or what I'm still lost
Only when you are doing the cross double crochet row.
I cannot get the pattern to work out to 128 stitches on the full blanket count. I'm always off by 2. I have watched the video twice and made a swatch that works out but not on the full blanket. What am I doing wrong?
Where do you lose the 2 stitches? When you chain 129 and then work Row 1, do you end with 128 stitches? Is it in Row 2 that you end up with 126?
I’m losing the stitches on the CDC
