So good to see another tutorial. Thumbs up.
@@EdieEckman So excited to here that! I'll keep watching.
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I’m using a pattern for a zigzag stitch that alternates rows of type 1 with rows of type 3. Boy is type 3 fiddly!
Yes it is fiddly, but I'm glad I can help!
I've used option 2 and the 2 strands at the bottom of the v gives a lovely texture
Yes, it does. It's just a matter of choosing which look you want.
My pattern is for option 3 glad I saw your video! I can now do the stitch pattern
Yay! Glad I could help.
I do mine the second way. Thank you for showing 3 different ways
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you so much Edie! This was very helpful! I appreciate your help!
Glad it was helpful!
I have seen another video that is very similar to option 3. Still holding the yarn in front for the 2nd dc, you enter the stitch from back to front. Makes it a bit easier to make the stitch and still looks very good. I love your videos and find them very helpful! Thank you!
Yes, I've seen it done that way, too. Thanks for sharing, and for the kind words about my content!
Thank you so much ! Very well explained 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
I used the second and third way in my patterns but never did the first one. Thank you for sharing, I will try the first one too.
Happy to teach you something new! Good luck!
So very helpful I’m trying a pattern for a poncho that was in a magazine and I think the option 2 is similar I hope the says to work over next 2 dc I’m hoping it’s not the last option that option is quite tricky and fiddly❤️ thank you for the video
This was so helpful
Glad I could help!
This is the best video on the internet for this stitch! I'm doing a mini basket and it looks so cute, thanks to you! But, I haven't quite figured out how to join the rounds, so looks a little funky in that section... I'm starting the new round with a Chain3 and then doing the "cross DC in the stitch behind, then moving forward with the next crossed DCs... Any chance you can give instruction on how to join the rounds? Thank you!!!!
Glad it was helpful! I'm not sure why it looks funky, but the end of the round is going to move a bit when you do it that way. Be sure you are joining in the top of the ch-3. You could also try using an alternate way to begin the round to see if that helps. www.edieeckman.com/2019/02/13/prevent-gaps-beginning-crochet-rows/
@@EdieEckman Thank you! I'm experimenting! Your tips are very helpful!
Omg thank you so much , Its hard to find a good explanation like this.
Glad it helped. Please subscribe to my RUclips channel and check out my virtual workshops (www.edieeckman.com/events-schedule) to learn even more!
What is s separate abbreviation of the thee? The crossed dc is xdc, but what is the abbreviation when making from behind, regular and from the front?
I don't know that there is a standard abbreviation. As in all crochet patterns, there needs to be a good definition of any technique, so you'd want to describe it as needs for that particular pattern. If you'd like to learn more about writing crochet patterns, check out my Crochet Pattern Writing Workshop (www.edieeckman.com/crochet-pattern-writing-workshop)
My pattern has me skip 2 stitches then dc & dc in back of that last dc into both skipped Drs. Still do the same only start with the farthest skipped stitch away?
Yes-do the first skipped st, then the second skipped st.
A little too fast to follow the last example
Sorry. You can always slow it down (got to playback speed, and put the speed at .75 or .5), or stop and back up to watch it again.
