    Mikey... I am a newbie (1 year). I found this pattern on Yarnspirations and set out to tackle it today. I did 9 rounds before I thought - HEY, I wonder if Mikey has a video on this? Sure enough, you do. However, for the very first time, I read a pattern and followed it. I watched this video to double check myself. I am busting my buttons with pride over reading and understanding a pattern, though. Yes, I know it is considered an Easy pattern, but I struggled and finally figured it out. And your video confirmed it. YAY ME!

    As a teacher, I see how so many people on youtube explain and act too fast. They don't realize that they are working at a such a fast pace that it is hard for follow and completely grasp the directions given.

    • @jessicaclaxton6982
      @jessicaclaxton6982 10 дней назад

      @shopelihoffman7222 there is a feature on here that allows you to slow the video down if you are having trouble following. Even though he does go a bit fast for a new new beginner, he explains everything well. I've watched his videos for many many years. There are also other creators I watch who do have slower videos, and though I have been crocheting for over 26 years (I'm 37) :) I still either have to slow some videos down or speed them up. It's all a matter of preference

    I love the way you start off this star, but I wanted to make a six point star, so I modified the pattern just a bit in the very beginning. I chained 6 instead of four and had 6 spokes in the first round instead of 5 and it's working really well! Thanks for all the crochet help, I love the crochet crowd!

    • @mhewins09
      @mhewins09 6 лет назад +5

      I did this 6 pointed star by accident (looks like a hexagram!) - but I am loving the way it's turning out, it's a little more sophisticated than the simple 5 pointed star and will look lovely as an bedspread accent.

    this is great, I have the same pattern in a book, but I had a hard time following the instructions without seeing someone doing it. I used it to help my sister start making a blanket with it, and I have adapted it and am using embroidery thread to make a doily for a doily dream catcher. it looks amazing so far and was so quick! I struggled with traditional doily patterns for months, I'd given up and then it occurred to me that this would work perfect with the crafting thread and a smaller hook. it looks great!

The beginning is super confusing and doesn't look right and you may think you've done it wrong but once you get to the third row it's easy and it starts coming together and looks amazing.
