    I remember watching this video when I was a beginner. I could not master this... I gave up so many times ... I loved watching it again and completing my scarf. It is so beautiful. TY for the tutorial.

    Thank you so much you are a wonderful instructor. I'm crocheting scarves for the homeless and I will be using this stitch, it's beautiful.

    This is a tutorial I found myself revisiting over and over again. Thank you for not only teaching me the scarf but also the chainless foundation. 😁

    I’ve been crocheting for decades now and just recently became aware of the chainless foundation method. I’ve tried learning it from various videos on RUclips but gave up as it just looked too confusing. Your video and explanation is so simple and so clear! After watching your video just a couple of times, I was able to complete a chainless foundation row and I’m so proud! LOL Thank you very, very much! 🙂

    I have been crocheting since a little girl, starting in the late 50's; I've looked at 1000s of patterns & videos in the last several years on the internet - and NEVER BEFORE seen the chainless foundation - AMAZING - and so much nicer looking and no awkward holes showing through! I made my own tutorial with screen shots from the video so I can remember it! I have considerable hearing loss but immediately found your voice very pleasant and easy to understand - yes, perhaps a tone of patience, as well as not rushed - a *DELIGHTFUL* teacher!! I will be checking out more of your videos & subscribing to your posts. THANKS so much for sharing with all of us

    I used this pattern last year when I was refreshing my skills with crochet. My Michigan State and U of M scarves turned out amazing. I am back this year to make several more and wanted to thank you for sharing.

  • @croutoncrackerjacks
    @croutoncrackerjacks  11 лет назад

    It's a chainless foundation. I didn't do a traditional chain and then start a row of stitches, I incorporated the stitches into the chain as I went along. Makes for a neater edge and a sturdier base for the fringe added later.

  • @jenny7583
    @jenny7583 11 лет назад

    Thank you for being so precise, I love your math count it really helps. You are a great instructor. I really enjoyed it.

    I don't do a lot of thread crochet but have done some potholders and doilies for gifts. Interesting that you should bring up the edgings because I have a bag full of crocheted trim from my roommates grandmother that was done in the 20's. Many yards of it! Looking at them, the intricate patterns and some of them done with not much more than sewing thread...the time it must've taken her to do them. It was quite the art back then that not many continue to do.

    Awesome! I've been crocheting fourty years and never saw a chain like that. I learned something! Thank You. more videos please!

  • @croutoncrackerjacks
    @croutoncrackerjacks  12 лет назад

    Awesome!! Glad to hear you're giving this pattern a try! I don't have any other crochet videos, I wanted to try this one out so I may do some more in the future seeing the response to this one. And I've been crocheting since I was 7 or 8...many, MANY projects under my belt, LOL!!

  • @croutoncrackerjacks
    @croutoncrackerjacks  12 лет назад

    Thanks Judy! I really dislike the long chain too and I always chain so much looser than I crochet so the chain-less foundation does me good. You can do it with sc's too. Give it a shot...I'm sure you'll like it!

  • @croutoncrackerjacks
    @croutoncrackerjacks  11 лет назад

    Of course. If that's how you prefer to start a project, then by all means do it that way.

    so using this as a guide to make my husbands winter scarf for this year. i'm pretty much a beginner and have made purses and other simple things so far, i knew i wanted to make scarfs for my husband, daughter and myself this winter but didnt know how, until now. i love this technique and cant wait to try it out. thank you!

  • @croutoncrackerjacks
    @croutoncrackerjacks  11 лет назад

    They do a little bit over time and after a few washings. A few ways to prevent it: when they get too split for your liking, clip the ends off as there is plenty of fringe there or to prevent it in the first place, singe the ends with a lighter or over a candle flame just enough to seal the end of the yarn. Time consuming but no fraying whatsoever. Doing it that way does make the ends sort of rough feeling though and I personally like the fraying so I leave it.

    Crouton Crackerjacks thank you much for the tutorial ... I've done many hats with a similar stitch for the brims but had never seen a scarf like your pattern ... well done and the use of the chain-less foundation definitely a great tip !!!

  • @croutoncrackerjacks
    @croutoncrackerjacks  12 лет назад

    I hope you give it a shot! There are so many beginner tutorials and how to's here on YT that can walk you through the process if you've never picked up a hook before.

  • @butterybiscuit
    @butterybiscuit 11 лет назад +1

    Just as a suggestion I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn which is found at any Walmart, Kmart, or online at amazon.com and got wonderful results from it.

  • @7slaper
    @7slaper 11 лет назад

    Excellent tutorial!
    Very clear explanation of the chainless foundation too.
    My compliments.
    The shawl looks great anyway, but IMHO the waffel stitch is better suited for a one colour yarn though.
    To all the hate posters: grow up!
    Leave this man alone.
    Since ancient times, crotcheting and knitting have been male occupations, like all craftmenships; look it up in your bible.

  • @croutoncrackerjacks
    @croutoncrackerjacks  11 лет назад

    It is an extremely soft yarn. Almost like silk. Not at all your typical scratchy acrylic. You'll enjoy it!

    I love this scarf and this stitch. I am brand new to crochet but I would love to have a go at making this scarf, especially for my husband. This is definitely something worth working towards as I think it is a very beautiful scarf and perfect for a man.

  • @croutoncrackerjacks
    @croutoncrackerjacks  11 лет назад

    You can buy it on HL's website or even ebay. The former often has 'sales' that include free shipping. I prefer it when using acrylic because it's soft and doesn't pill nearly as bad as Red Heart but any quality acrylic will work just as well.

  • @qazoni11

  • @hannahbrown393
    @hannahbrown393 11 лет назад

    I really like this pattern :) I'm pretty much a beginner, just practiced stitching a bit on a one-inch square before attempting this. You did a great job explaining the steps, and the fringe looks sooo easy to do, but its probably the best looking fringe of a lot of the crochet patterns I've found. Thanks! I'm sure my fiance will absolutely love it!

  • @MsSteph325
    @MsSteph325 9 лет назад +1

  • @cherylsilvas2341
    @cherylsilvas2341 5 лет назад

    The way you hook into the ch2 at the end is great! Have not seen anyone do it that way, sure has made it easier. Thank you!

  • @22justus24U
    @22justus24U 12 лет назад

    I looked all through your previous videos and didn't see any other crochet demos. I'm on row 6 now (on this piece I'm playing around with) and I simply love this pattern!! I can hardly wait to go pick up some new yarn tomorrow to begin this beautiful project. I see one for myself and a couple for gifts for the holidays. This pattern is a definite keeper.
    I just know you have a few more to share, those stitches are too perfect and even for a casual crocheter....NICE!!

  • @alindastar
    @alindastar 11 лет назад

    I am going to try this pattern and I love the tip on how to start the scarf without creating the chain then crocheting in the stitches. I too hate the look of the first row in my scarfs because of the chain stitch. Plus I have never really added fringe but this time I think I might because I like your method of calculating, cutting and applying the fringe. Lastly I think this will be a warm and wonderful scarf to my wardrobe. Thanks

    this is a WONDERFUL stitch for lap afghans, too! i donate to the local cancer center & guys are sometimes left out.
    they really like this stitch as a lap afghan and/or scarf. thanks, again! ;)

This will only be my second scarf ever, but it doesn't look too difficult. I will probably have to replay this vid a dozen times, but I'm gonna give it a try.

    @eileenfb1948 11 лет назад

    It didn't take long to master casting on in this way ... do try it, it gives a much neater and more elastic first row. AND I got the other stuff too, I felt lost but soon saw the pattern develop. I like your style of teaching. Brilliant! Thank you!

  • @croutoncrackerjacks
    @croutoncrackerjacks  11 лет назад

    Make sure that you get in that last dc in the row. The beginning ch2 of every round counts as the first dc so in your case, row A should have 15 fpdcs in the row with 1 dc at each end and row B should have 14 fpdcs with 2 dc's on each end.

    I see this is from 2012 so Im about 5 or 6 yrs late on this comment. However, this was a great tutorial. I finished my first scarf just from watching your video. This was great. Wish I was able to post a pic of how mine came out. The only thing was the beginning chains. That confused me so I did it the only way I knew how. It still came out fantastic. Thanks.

  • @phinesse391

    I just knew you had to have been crocheting for a good while!! I love thread crochet too. Have made many pillowcase edgings, which I really love because of my maternal grandmother's influence. She always had the big chenille bedspreads with the beautiful embroidered and crocheted edges on her pillowcases. I loved them!!
    Kudos to you! Will post a response when I get it made.

  • @croutoncrackerjacks
    @croutoncrackerjacks  12 лет назад

    As for learning how to crochet, grab a hook and some yarn and watch videos here on YT! It isn't hard at all...simply pulling loops through other loops. Once you get the hang of it, it's easy.

  • @croutoncrackerjacks
    @croutoncrackerjacks  11 лет назад

    I find it easier to count the 'bars' or body of the stitches instead of the chains on top as sometimes I accidentally count the beginning chain twice. Either way, if your count is off, you will notice it in the pattern as the fpdc won't line up correctly with the stitches below. Hope that helps!
