Amazing! This has always been such a struggle for me. I really appreciate that you showed it on the different stitches. Thank you thank you!
You are so welcome!
@@WindingRoadCrochet )
I was laughing out loud at myself. I've been looking for a tutorial on side borders forEVER!!!
Thank God for this channel.
You are so welcome! I am really trying to go back and make sure I have a video for every little thing. I have done a handful of border videos and it is just easier to do a border after you have a single crochet border.
@Cait DeStefano Yes I definitely agree with that
Thank you so much for your very clear instructions on how to do it in all 3 stitches.
You are very welcome!
Thank you. Your explanation is the best I've seen
Thanks
This was the easiest tutorial I have found, thank you!
Glad it helped!
Excellent tutorial. I will recommend this and your other videos to my friends who are wanting to learn to crochet!!
Please do!
Thank you so much! I'm a seasoned crocheter and have always "eye-balled" the single crochet stitches around blanket boarders. Thanks to you, I can finish the edges off in a professionally manner! I appreciate the time and energy you put into each and every tutorial and of course I'm a subscribed follower!
Thank you. With some pattern you might adjust a how many per row. For example work 2 in the side of all the DC rows for 5 rows, then only work 1 in the side of the next row because you noticed that it was getting a little wavy. But that is hard to write into a pattern. This we design a pattern for a very specific and complex border.
Perfect video! Thank you for being thorough and thoughtful! More than what I was looking for (border around sc stitches).
Glad it was helpful!
This is great. I love doing borders around my projects. Yours looks great.
Thanks so much! 😊I tend to come up with a new border pattern every few weeks. They are really fun to design.
Lovely tutorial, just what I needed. And you have so many more projects, too. So happy to have find you. Subscribed and can’t wait for more inspiration
Thanks for subbing! I hope you enjoy the past and future crochet videos.
Thanks so much for this clear tutorial. This has often been a problem for me, working down the sides of a project. I really appreciate your effort in putting out this tutorial to help others.
Glad it helped!
I have always struggled doing a nice border aound my blankets. You made this so easy to understand where to put the stitches down the side and the corners, Awesome and thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Loved this video,you were nice and explained exactly what I needed to do you have an amazing ability to teach and be patient 💕💕 thank you!!
Thank you. I am so glad it was helpful.
Thank you so much for this clear tutorial. This has often been a problem for me, working down the sides of projects.
It can be tricky. Some patterns just say to crochet evenly across the edge and that is fine, but make sure to pay attention to how many single crochet they want to to place on each side.
OMG, thank you so much for this video. I never did know the proper way to do this.
You are welcome.
This is great 😊 very clear instructions 👍 thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you . It really helps to show the different stitches .👏
You’re welcome 😊
I am going to try this for a rug that I made for a friend and one for the mat for my cat's new carrier (which she hates) I did an experimental one and I was pleased with the outcome. I also have a rug that I made that I will remove what I've done, and do it more professional that what I did.
I hope your projects go well.
Thank you this is EXACTLY what i was looking for, for the edges of different stitch types
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks I always struggle with whether I’m doing this correctly or not! The count really helps me especially for the half double crochet rows.
Evelyn Oxner yes half double crochet is a bit tricky. Here is the really tricky part, what if you have an odd number of half double crochet rows? I guess there is no wrong answer.
This helped me too!!
Thank you! Super!!! I have tried on swatches and always ruin it, so I haven’t started my blanket because I’m feeling incapable of doing the border! This helos a lot! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Super helpful thank you very much!!
Glad it helped!
This was definitely helpful, thank you for the tutorial,,😎
Glad it was helpful!
At last. Easy steps to follow to complete the edge of my blanket
Wonderful!
This was really helpful, thanks!
So glad!
I have been searching for a tutorial on doing a border on HDC forever! Love having a formula to follow. Thanks!!!
You are welcome. This formula works pretty well, on occasion you may need to add or skip a stitch if you see if getting wavy but it does work for most projects.
This was extremely helpful!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Easy to follow. Thank you
You're welcome!
Excellent video thanks. I was struggling to get a ‘finished’ edge. The edge was straight but just needed more. I used this technique and then added your extended hdc and I love the result. Much appreciated. 😀
That is wonderful. I am glad it helped.
very useful!!! Thanks a lot!!
You're welcome!
Thank you! I wish I could qauadrillion like your video so that it stays at the top of the video heap.
Glad it helped!
Very good tutorial! :)
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this. I've wondered why my blanket corners were rounded and not sharp. Now I know- I never chained 2 at the corners. Thank you again.
You are welcome.
Thank you 😊
You are welcome.
Thank you ❤
www.windingroadcrochet.com/crochet-fall-decor-tiny-accents/ - The leaf is the last pattern after the vine. There are 5 small patterns.
Thank you!!! I’ve just been guessing and it’s always very inconsistent and frustrating. I love that you included a variety of stitches, too. Wonderful video!
Glad it was helpful!
This video was really helpful to me.Thanks....Il like to ask though, does it matter if the side facing you is the right or wrong side when working the single crochets?
I prefer the side facing me is the right side. The stitches just look a bit nicer.
Thank you for this tutorial. It was very helpful, an I hope you can help me. I am working on a project that repeats “one row half double crochet and three rows slip stitch”. How many single crochets would you do along the side of that repeating set?
Oh that is tricky. I would try working 2 single crochet per 3 rows of slip stitch, and see if it puckers. So work a single crochet into the first row of slip stitches then skip the second slip stitch row then work another in the last slip stitch row. Try that for a few repeats and see if it gets wavy at all. If it does then I would remove a single crochet and work 1 Single crochet for the 3 rows of slip stitch. I hope this helps.
We must have worked a similar project! That’s the exact same pattern I came into the comments to try and figure out.
Hi..thank you so much for this tutorial def helped me a lot since I'm a beginner , my question is for the single crochet row for the bottom part when you say single crochet to the other side are you just putting the hook through the back yarn n not grabbing both yarn ..hope I make sense..thank you
Yes and no. It really depends on how you working into the chain to begin with. If you worked into one side of the chain then you would probably be just going the back yarn. I tend to work into the back bumps of my chain so the bottom of my first row looks the same as the top of my stitches. SO I have to go under two strands of yarn when going through the opposite side of the chain. But this is only because of how I work into the chain. I hope that makes sense.
Great Video! I am a beginner and have made blankets before without edging it. I recently put a lot of time and effort into a blanket & want to finish it off neatly. It alternates single and half double on each row. Any suggestions on how to make it work?
it is a little trickly but here is what should work. For every 2 hdc rows and 2 sc rows you will work a total of 5 single crochets along the side. So first HDC row will have 2 SC into the side of it, then the following SC, HDC, SC row will all have 1 single crochet into the side. Then repeat the process.
If the single crochet border is the very last row, then you can also just work 1 SC into the side of every row but work loosely. Working loosely will make the stitches slightly bigger and would give you the extra width that you need to be able to make the border without all the counting.
@@WindingRoadCrochetthank you so much! I'm trying to finish it up today!
Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful. The only thing that threw me was at the end when you were finishing the border you said to SC into the first stitch, but it looks like you slip stitched into the first SC?
You can use a slip stitch or a single crochet. If you use a single crochet then when you start the next row you will be in the middle of the corner. If you use a slip stitch you will be starting the row on the side of the corner.
Makes sense, I mostly do amigurumi using a slip stitch. Just was confused on the border when I saw you do a slip but say SC lol thanks for clarifying!
can you pls make full tutorial for the hdc? I don't understand if you started from the middle like this . . .
With a half double crochet, you need to work 3 single crochets over the side of 2 rows. So 1 Single crochet into the side of the first row and 2 single crochet into the side of the second row, then repeat until you reach the corner. I will look into making a video.
Hello! I’m in the process of finishing a side saddle crochet blanket and would like to add a border. Could you help me please?
That is a tricky stitch. I looked at a chart for it and I see those end stitches consist of single crochets and double crochet (or a chain that acts as a double crochet). So I would try working 2 SC into the side of each double crochet and 1 SC (single crochet) into the side of the single crochets and see if that lays flat.
if my two squares are not that symmetrical to each other, will sc on borders help?
It could.
Just a question. You said, at the very end, to single crochet into your very first single crochet, but it looks like you slip stitched into that first single to end the border. Is it truly a single crochet to end it or a slip stitch? Thank you for your tutorials.
I imagine I meant a slip stitch. Sometimes people will Ch2 in each corner and then on the last corner the will CH1 and then single crochet in the first stitch. This will make your next row start in the center of the corner. So both ways do work but I believe I meant to say slip stitch.
how did you make the two loops at the beginning when you were starting the border? im so confused. (and it was the two loops with the blue yarn, when you put the grey yarn in those two loops)
I believe I was just changing yarn colors. So I was just working the very last single crochet of the last row and used the grey yarn for the last yarn over of that single crochet.
which is the link for the mini basket weave border please? i have done a basket weave pillow and need to lengthen the dimensions and cant seem to find a way since i am a beginner at crocheting
Here is the link! ruclips.net/video/WMDeQlK6GK8/видео.html
Where do you get your hooks!?! They are absolutely gorgeous
They are Furls Crochet Hooks
How do you do corners for the half double crochet stitch? I've been watching this video repeatedly, but I still don't understand how to do the border for the half double crochet stitch. I do a stacked single stitch for the turning chain, instead of two stitches, but I'm still having difficulty doing the border.
For a half double crochet you can chain 2 when turning the corner.
hi.. I'm not getting the link you mentioned for the border you show at the beginning of the video 😕
Here is the link to the video tutorial for that border. ruclips.net/video/WMDeQlK6GK8/видео.html
Thanks for the video. Very usefull. But why have you began by a dark colour ? It is difficult to watch.
The colors tend to look darker on camera. It sometimes makes choosing a color hard.
Hello ... I wonder if you could guide me in telling me how to extend a too short top by crochetting a piece at least 12 inches longer . Do I follow a scarf video. I was going to mark dots on my top, and single crochet into them and then maybe double crochet around and around but not sure how to end each row. thanks you if you can help
The dots and crocheting around will work. When you end the row you will slip stitch to the first stitch of the row. Then you can chain up and start the next row. If you are using double crochet then I would Chain 2 and then work your next row of double crochet.
@@WindingRoadCrochet thank you so much ! best wishes !!
I am making a 6 panel afghan of shell stitches for each panel. Can you show me how to crochet a single crochet border around my panels? I'm not quite sure how to do it. Thank you.
I believe we are talking on facebook. When you get me the pattern we can discuss how to add the border.
What would you do for a hdc on the side? :)
It would work the same, but you would chain 2 in the corners.
How do you do this on a waffle stitch?
Because of the texture I treat the waffle stitch like the half double crochet. Here is a blanket I just did this on and down in the pattern is a photo of the single crochet border. www.windingroadcrochet.com/arcade-waffle-crochet-blanket-pattern/
What border would you recommend for a waffle stich blanket?
I actually have a pattern for a waffle stitch blanket that uses arcade stitch border. ruclips.net/video/chKhJb8k4SI/видео.html
@@WindingRoadCrochet
Thanks, I'll check it out! but if I want to start a border with the example in this video, how many SC I need in every waffle? 🤔
i want to make a cardigan out of square pieces for a friend,, should i make this border stitch around each square before i put them all together?
You can. I would only do it if you use the same color as the base of the cardigan. IT would make sewing the pieces together easier.
@@WindingRoadCrochet okay cool!! I'll definitely do it then, thanks for you input!!!
How would you go about this on a treble stitch? I can’t find anything online about it!
I have heard to use 3 single crochet per treble stitch row, but it is something I would have to try to make sure that it doesn't become to many stitches. Some patterns will also say to single crochet evenly down the side of a row and just add more stitches when you think they are needed.
I know this doesn’t exactly deal with the video, but I have a question that I have searched EVERYWHERE for but for the life of me, I can’t find anything even resembling an answer.
So I’ve been toying with different stitch patterns to make some cute mud rugs or dish clothes, and I’ve been *trying* to do one row of single crochets, next row hdc, next sc, next hdc, repeat. I do not add or drop any stitches, but it alllllways seems to narrow. Is it because one is thicker in width than another? I just have no idea and I’ve been trying to solve this for years lol 😬 😠 Help pleaseeee!
It is possible that the HDC is a little wider than the SC, but if you are alternating rows that should fix it. Have you counted your stitches to make sure you are not loosing stitches? A lot of people tend to miss the first or last stitch of a row and need to mark them with a stich marker to keep it straight. Another thought is that for some reason you start to crochet tighter later in the project.
How many DC would you work into a stripe that has two rows of HHDC?
I would try 3. I find the herringbon stitches lean a little and make them just a bit shorter than a normal stitch but I don't think they are as short as a single crochet. So I would try 3 stitches per 2 rows and see if it looks right. if it looks wobbly then I would alternate working 2 stitches per 2 rows and 3 stitches per 2 rows to see if that evens it out.
I am making a booty. I have 18 rows and the instructions says to do20 sc evenly along the edge. How do I do that?
You will have to work 1 sc into the side of 16 rows and 2 sc into the side of two rows. I would spread out the spots where you put 2 sc.
Is the double crochet in U.S. Or UK terms?
I use all US terms.
So are you crocheting into the corner, chaining two, then crocheting into the corner again? It looks like that's what you did for your third corner. The other two it looked like you crocheted into the corner, chained 2, then moved onto the next stitch.
So right now our projects doesn't actually have a cover space. We are creating corner spaces with the CH2. So I am crocheting into the top of the last stitch then CH2, and turn to crochet into the side of the stitch. (It will be reversed when you hit the next corner.)
Isn't the last stitch a slip stitch and not a single crochet? I am following along with this video and the one you have for a camel stitch border. Great videos but I am just a little confused.
You should be slip stitching to the first stitch.
I'm still confused on how to do this. I've been trying for the last 45 minutes to get it right. My border ends up wavy because there's to many stitches in it. What bar are you talking about? There are visible ""holes"" in the border when I do 2 singles down the side.
Are you working the 2 single crochets into double crochet rows? Are you working into half double crochet rows? I show how to work into the side of 3 different stitches so I need a little more information.
I think you meant slip stitch to your first stitch, not SC
Oops, yes slip stitch to the first stitch.
Apologies, but I’m learning. On the last corner you did a chain 2 and then said single crochet but you actually did a slip stitch. ??
It was at time mark 5:47
You are correct. I got tongue tied. I did a slip stitch, now if you were to CH 1 and single crochet to the first stitch then the single would lay side ways and when you started the next row you would be working in the middle of the corner.
Good video but its too fast to follow for beginners. Would be better if parts were slowed down
Noted!
