I’m a 15 year old boy and I’ve been crocheting and knitting for over a year now in America. I’m roughly advanced in crochet and around intermediate beginner in knitting. I love both crafts, and I honestly can’t believe anyone still judges men based on what they do as a hobby! This is one of the reasons I find it easier to make friends with girls because the occasional boy makes fun of me for it. I still have some pretty amazing male friends that support me as well as the girls but there is the occasional boy who doesn’t know how not to judge. I’m just so grateful for the men who do crochet, like this person because it helps me to remember that just because you have a feminine hobby doesn’t mean you’re a bad person! Thank you so much for this video!
Good for you. There's at least a couple NFL football players that crochet. You may want to check out Tunisian crochet. TLYarncrafts is the best teacher I've found on RUclips for Tunisian.
Hi, I can feel you 💯 for me it never really mattered if something was perceived more masculine or feminine in terms of hobby or crafts. I always enjoyed those "female" crafts way more. So, like you, I clicked with girls much faster (I will always be team Barbie, lol). And as you said, there is no problem at all with that until there's this one person judging you or making fun of you. But that's just one person. The majority loves you for who you are and for what you do. Always remember that. And don't let one voice calm you down. For years, I was thinking, "I can't make a crochet channel, I'm a guy, I'm old, I'm German, I'm not a hunk, I'm left-handed,..." All those "old" thinkings. Turns out it was the best and most satisfying thing I've ever done. My goal was to show everyone that no matter how skilled, beautiful, or what gender you are, you can do it. Live your passion no matter what one person says. They are one, we are so much more. Thank you so much for being you and for your message 🤗 and never stop crocheting ❤️
@Turtle-yPerfect young man, you continue crocheting. Do not let anyone say that you are less of a man for crocheting. I taught my grandson to crochet once years ago. He was grounded from everything. He could only read a book. He came to me and asked if I would teach him. His mother was very hard on him, and that day, he made her a washcloth, and she rewarded him by making fun of him, calling him a sissy, among other things. I told him that it wasn't true. My husband served in the United States Navy for 20 years. He did not crochet, but he counted cross stitched beautifully. He is an awesome man. You keep making beautiful things with your hands. Have you ever tried amigurumi???? I have an online friend from Russia and a young man from India, they both make amazing Amigurumi. I have never met them in the flesh, but we have a great online friendship. I am 73 years old.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I always say: just do what you love and go with it. I have been called a sissy all my life and it didn't change me or my passion. Just years ago, my mom asked me: "Are you sure that you don't want to be a woman?" after seeing one of my crochet pieces. 🙄 oh well, can't change people, even when it's your own mother. I'm me and that's totally fine and fierce 😉
Hi,.I am a knitter and make Knitting tutorials here on youtube but recently due to my pregnancy I am suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. And knitting makes the condition worse for me and I am trying crochet insted. And you can't believe how much joy I got when I saw your video. Definitely going to learn this stitch, so that I can my craving for knitting 🙂.
Hello, just came across your comment. You can also knit ( real knit stitches) with a crochet hook having an eye at the end to pull an aiding thread through. Super easy for the hands. This technique is called knooking. All you need is the special crochet hook, I got mine from Amazon, 3 diff. seizes for 5 Euro. I was never able to knit, am a crocheter, but like this knitting is so easy, especially in the round.
I hope it works better when crocheting. Always listen to your body and rather go slow or in smaller portions. And yes this knitting lookalike project would be awesome instead of knitting 🤗 fingers crossed 🤞 for you
Thank you for stepping in. I had quite a long knooking phase myself. After my last fail to learn knitting I learned knooking. It's really easy and fun. Haven't used it in a while, but who knows 🤗
Hi Heather, the past few days have been a liiiiiiitle crazy, unexpectedly crazy 🤪 but I love it and that so many people enjoy it and most importantly have fun crocheting ❤️
Your research is amazing! I have watched many RUclips teachers show this stitch. Any who work in the round simply spiral rather than join, leaving a small slant in the design. This is the first I have seen your impeccable join and I thank you!
Aww, thank you. The first piece I made had that ugly seam when changing the rounds too. I tried a few ways and this one works best. And once you made a few it's not that tricky anymore and you get a beyond perfect seamless transition ❤️
I bought my first skein of yarn and a crochet hook in the 60's which came with a free pattern booklet of stitches. Approximately 20 different stitches in the booklet and a project suggestion in the sleeve of the yarn band, but there was nothing like this!!! This is the first time seeing a simplified version of this technique and it is a pattern I truly want to make. I'm self taught, never had money for expensive "how to books," so I say; thank goodness for RUclips and this channel. Your patient demonstration on how to do this technique is inspiring. Many things have changed in crochet from those days and my booklets are gone now as will my eyesight soon be too, so, thank you once again for this beautiful end to my world of crochet. I will be doing this as long as God allows, until... Have a blessed day, my crochet friend.
Aww, thank you so much for sharing your story. It really moved me. I always say: I'll crochet as long as I can. And I know you will, too. I'm so happy that I brought you joy with something that really fills me with so much love and joy. Bless you too, all the best and big hugs 🤗
@laineywright2696 I too am self taught and have been crocheting for 53 years, I took learn something new all the time. I love this art, I too thank God for giving me the gift of being able to work with my hands to make beautiful things, and I will continue until I can not any longer. I hope that the art of Crochet never stops being shared.
Beautiful work. It’s amazing. 😍 You make it look so easy and the invisible transition is awesome. Thank you for this tutorial. I’ll be saving it to watch again and again.
Wow I just came across this early this morning. I have never heard of this before and watched your tutorial. I'm saving the video and downloaded the pdf for a time when I can actually try it! Thankyou! Love learning new things!
Hats off to you! I was pleasantly surprised and spellbound to see that crochet can be crocheted to make it look as if it has been knitted. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Wish you a very happy new year 2025!😊
Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it. I know there is tapestry and mosaic but this one, hats off, looks the most like knitted. Tbh even better and neater imo 😉🤗🎉
Thank you so much. I have just learned 2 new things. Never started with this method before and never tried waistcoat stitch . And the pdf is a super bonus. My 2025 is off to a fab start. Ah.. Maze.. Zing !!!!
Aww, that makes me happy! Have fun with it. It's very addictive. Also, check out the bonus video with a little bonus pdf with more free patterns to use 😉🎉
It's really cool for those who only crochet. I definitely feel like it would be easier to learn to knit for these types of patterns or do them as mosaic etc as too fiddle taking the hook out, making a new loop. Reminds me a bit of popcorn stitches. I like your story and your tutorial is very clear and good!!
Hi, I tried to learn to knit and failed a few times. And when you do patterns it's not always easy with tension and having yarn strands in the back etc. Here all yarn strands are locked/surrounded by the stitch which I think is super cool. But of course, when you're an advanced knitter you wouldn't need this technique to make the same things. It's more for us non-knitters to achieve this look 😉🤗
RUclips just flashed your video to my feed. Scandinavian girl here! Yay! Subscribed and downloaded pdf. Double yay! Looking forward to learning this new stitch. I’m learning to knit, but I’m not ready to do Fair Isle knitting by a long shot. I’ve crocheted for over 55 years so I’m all in for this. Triple yay! Thank you for generously sharing your new passion.
Hi, Another Scandi here. It's a bit strange to see this pattern crocheted. I used to knit until I had to stop for medical reasons in 1995. Some of us brought our knitting to high school, and knitted between classes, and lunch break after eating. I don't know how many hats, gloves, mittens and socks I knitted with this pattern, but a fair few, might cover it. I can't remember where this pattern comes from. My guess is northern Scandinavia. I don't think the pattern was around when we had moved to the southern part, but was definitely a thing in the north. for reference I went to junior high school in the -70's in the south, and senior in early -80's in the north. Yours, Ann
Thank you. The start with an i-cord really changed my crochet so much. And it's way more fun and way less fiddly than with a chain. Try it! Once you got the flow it goes super fast and you always have the perfect start for your projects 🤗 happy new year 🎉
This is so cool! Thank you for sharing! I used to be a very avid knitter and loved doing colorwork! Tendonitis made me stop knitting because it became too painful, but for some reason, crocheting hasn't given me the same issues, so I've switched over to that! I miss being able to knit stuff like this, so Im so excited to try it with crocheting!
Aww, thank you for sharing your story! It's amazing to see how crochet connects us all. I'm sure you will love this technique, especially with all your knitting knowledge. In addition, watch out for my next tutorial 😉 this might be interesting for everyone experiencing pain when knitting 😉
Hi, I'm currently working on ways to do that. With traditional crochet, it's not possible, but there are other ways very similar to crochet. I'll keep you updated 🤗
Thomas thank you for this detailed explanation and tutorial, you have given me inspiration to try this, I have only used the waistcoat stitch for baskets in the past .❤I’m looking forward to future projects matching mittens or fingerless gloves would be great !
Hi, I'm glad you like it. Have fun trying it, it's super fun and very easy with the color changes. In my next video I'll show also how to make this in the flat 😉🤗
Agreed, I wouldn't mind a chunky, cozy sweater, tho, especially today on this super cold day. But for all the not so cold days I'd definitely go with a supersoft or light yarn too 🤗
Mosaic is on my list of things I want to learn more. I only made it once for a cowl that ended up looking way to pretty to wear it 🙈🤣 it's a fun technique and I'm sure I'll dive into in the future
I've been knitting for 35 years and crocheting for 60 years. I LOVE learning new techniques and the is totally GENIUS! Thank you so much! I've got to finish up these Christmas gifts and I'm gonna start next year's right after using all the techniques you've shown!!!
I'm happy you like it and I'm sure you will love this technique as much as I do. I got so addicted that I now have to rush finishing other christmas gifts lol. Should've done it like you 😉 anyway, merry christmas and happy crocheting
Wow!! 🤩🤩 I used to be an avid knitter many years ago, but had to switch to crochet because of nerve damage in my fingertips. It was only a couple days ago that I was wishing I could knit Scandinavian-style pattern. Imagine my surprise when your video randomly popped up (I wasn't even doing a search - yay RUclips). Amazing! Thank you so much!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for sharing this is so beautiful I hope I can learn more with your videos and you explain everything step by step God Bless you and pls continue with this videos help me a lot 😅
Thank you! I’ve been doing the knit stitch Tunisian crochet for a knitted look but Tunisian, though beautiful, does have some drawbacks. As well, I’ve tried small samples of Waistcoat stitch before but thought it was tedious and never used it in a project. Your tutorial inspires me to try again as I love your work here! Thanks so much for a great tutorial!
I'm happy that my tutorial inspired you to try it again. And a big yes for a new try! You are right, tunisian knit stitch is ok, but the Vs are a bit irregular imo. And I never tried it with more colors or to create a pattern. The waistcoat stitch worked perfectly 👌
Some people call it knit stitch, I crocheted many garments with this stitch but I didn't know how to crochet it on deferent colors (like tapestry crochet). Thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You're very welcome. I had no idea either that this is possible. And xhanging colors is really easy with this stitch. Surprisingly easy 🎉 have fun trying it
Cool method to crochet the I-cord. Another alternative is the foundation single crochet stitch. It is somewhat stretchier than the chain stitch. There is also a foundation double crochet stitch.
Thanks for sharing! I use foundation stitches a lot too. I even have a video explaining them and the pros and cons. Personally I just love the i-cord because it's a "stable" first round. Nothing fiddly and perfectly straight. And you get 4 easy loops to continue with 😉
Oh this is so lovely! I was just lookimg for a new pattern for a cardigan I´m going to make and I will definitly incoorporate this in it somewhere. Looks fabulous! Maybe just at the bottom above the ribbing
That sounds like a great idea! Above the ribbing or as cuffs for example. This works best in the round. If used otherwise just cut the yarn after each round and add the next row without turning 😉 a few more yarn ends to take care of but it'll look stunning
Bonjour from France district Auvergne ! Thank you so much for sharing this way of making crochet with so beautiful headbands.I ll make it for my two grand daughters. ❤❤❤
Un très grand bonjour du sud de l'Allemagne, près de Stuttgart 😉 I'm glad you like my video and I'm sure your grand daughters will love their new headband 🎅 bonnes fêtes à vous tous
Thanks so much 😊 I'm glad that you've found me. And it's true, making these headbands with the waistcoat stitch and the patterns is extra addictive. Couldn't stop 🤣
Hi, I crochet AND I knit and I just found you with this video. I LOVE this! I've been crocheting since I was about 4 years old (55 years now) and I've never seen this before. I'm excited to start using this technique. Thank you so much for sharing your find and your wonderful PDF. I've subscribed and liked this video as well as saved it so that I can revisit it as I may need to. Keep up the good work, I'll see you again soon! Happy stitching! ✌️💜🧶
Aww thanks a lot, you're too sweet. I learned crochet when I was 8 (46 now). Have fun creating something beautiful with this technique, happy crocheting and merry christmas ❤️🤗🎅
I've recently taken up crochet. I used to knit Aran and Fairisle patterns but this is the first time I've seen this in crochet. When I've finished my current project - a scarf in shell stitch which will be a Christmas gift to a friend, I should have some yarn left over so will try this. Subscribed.
Sounds awesome. I'm jelly cause I can't knit a bit and always dream about all those gorgeous patterns. You will have no issues crocheting these and it is so much fun 🤗🎉
This is soo beautiful. I can’t wait to try this technique. I’m always amazed at the knitting patterns because I can’t knit to save my life. Great alternative. Ty for showing this.
Na besten Dank! Da quäl ich mich vor genau einem Jahr damit ab, das Mosaik häkeln zu lernen, um nicht so kompliziert Muster zu stricken, die ja bei Fehlern so elendig zu korrigieren sind und jetzt kommt da einer um die Ecke mit den Geheimnissen, die ich mir vor einem Jahr so dringend gewünscht habe! Unfassbar! 😭 Also, ganz lieben Dank für die Anleitung! Ich bin begeistert! 🤩 Wird sofort ausprobiert! Schöne Feiertage und gerne wieder so tolle Ideen!
🤣 Ich wünschte auch ich hätte das schon früher gekannt 😉 und es freut mich total, dass es so gut ankommt und viel Freude bereitet. Bin absolut süchtig danach. Vielen herzlichen Dank für die Lieben Worte. Wünsche ebenfalls schöne Weihnachten und viel viel Spaß beim Häkeln 🤗😍
First-time viewer, and I'm impressed! I both knit and crochet. Each craft is enjoyable - they're like children that way, and I don't need to have a favorite (though I tend to prefer knitting). I appreciate that this stitch fools the eye, creating a squishy and warm fabric from the doubled yarn strands. Thank you for this gift! Now I must make a few headbands fast! 🧶❄️🧶❄️🧶❄️
Aww, thank you, too. I'm the same, I like all crafts that I can do equally. Have fun making the headbands with crochet even though you'd probably be so much faster with knitting 😉😊
This pattern is so beautiful. Thankyou for sharing how to do this with us. I am so excited to make some headbands. Your colour choice is great, they look awesome.
WOW! I will have to learn this stitch, if only to show off at my craft group when it starts up in January. Thank you for sharing this method, and also for making the pdf available so easily ❤
I just discover your channel. You not only have a great personality but explains the technique with much patient. Hook on new crocheter subscriber and a new fan!
Wow! Thank you so much! I've recently learned to do color changes for tapestry. This will be my next big conquest! I just found your channel and will be subscribing. I cannot wait for your next great project.
Ha I wish, then I would tell them to crochet faster 😉 but it's definitely making to end up with something that looks knitted and it's crochet! Amazing 🎉
Really beautiful. This video answers the problems I had with this stitch that I did without any tutorials. I had very good results but with your tips and especially the transition it will impeccable from now on. Thank you so much!
Wonderful! Just today, I was wondering if you could create these patterns with a knitting machine. I haven't used a knitting machine yet but who knows... 😉
I am now obsessed with your waistcoat designs . I would love to assist you with your knitting skills. Thank you for the tutorial personally I could knit the piece far quicker without the palaver. Happy crochet and a hug for Holli
Did you like the surprise shoutout? Had to bite my tongue all week not to warn you 😉 and I know, a knitter can make this in no time. But for me, this is just insane 🤣 I tried knitting so many times and never felt that kick to properly learn and use it. But you know, never say never, I'm always open to learn something 🤗 have you ever tried forking (aka lucet)?
Thank you do much for this excellent tutorial. I have never seen the I cord done in crochet before and what a lovely easy cast on it is. Both headbands look fabulous.
Thank you so much, I've been trying to figure this out on my own and you just totally answered most of my questions! Definitely going to try this soon. I was wanting to make Christmas hotpads/ pot holders for family and friends with cotton yarn...might try your pattern with an adaptation and see if it can be done. I'm thinking maybe double sided and a fund edge stitch to tie the two together...got some experimenting to do!🤔🧶😉
Hi, thank you for your message. I could definitely see fun potholders with pattern made with this technique. I'd even make it simple: crochet in the round so that you have either 2 designs (one on each side) or just one of the patterns repeated as many times as you like. Once done just sew the top and bottom part together, add a hanger and you're done. No border that goes all around needed. I have a short where I made ornaments like that and this would work perfectly for potholders as well 🤗 just as an idea: ruclips.net/user/shortsAtk4up4KhSA?si=8eHK7CbkNYcAorvl
I know, for those you can knit that would be much faster. Of course you can just knit the pattern. You get the same look with both techniques, how amazing is that? 🎉

Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I always say: just do what you love and go with it. I have been called a sissy all my life and it didn't change me or my passion. Just years ago, my mom asked me: "Are you sure that you don't want to be a woman?" after seeing one of my crochet pieces. 🙄 oh well, can't change people, even when it's your own mother. I'm me and that's totally fine and fierce 😉
The fact that men crochet too is so cool
This is the best comment ever! I love it ❤️ I might steal that and use it as a quote if you don't mind? Thank you so much 🤗
You are amazing teacher..yes the pattern is amazing but you make it to be .Thank you !
Merry Christmas!
Absolutely ❤
Aww that's too sweet! Thank you so much 🤗 merry christmas 🎅

My jaw DROPPED when I saw the thumbnail! Saving this to finish watching later! Thank you for sharing!
I never thought something like this was possible with crochet. And my jaw feels like it hasn't gone back into place 🤣 it's insane
I came back to view this all the way through and this video has 26k views in 3 days!!! Congrats!!!
Hi Heather, the past few days have been a liiiiiiitle crazy, unexpectedly crazy 🤪 but I love it and that so many people enjoy it and most importantly have fun crocheting ❤️
How nice to have a man doing crochet! I’m going to try to use the pattern to make a Xmas stocking!
@PiedadBotero-b4g thank you so much 🤗 there's a few of us. A christmas stocking with this pattern will look absolutely amazing! Have fun making it 🤗

My pleasure! To me the finished pieces even look prettier than neater than knitted ones 😉🙈 have fun trying it, it's amazing
Thomas if you can teach me that you’re a Genius !!
I know you can do it! I'm still shocked because I always thought that this can only be achieved with knitting 🤗
You do beautiful work and I love the techniques you are teaching, beautiful and fantastic.
Thank you so much, that makes me happy 😊
Wow I just came across this early this morning. I have never heard of this before and watched your tutorial. I'm saving the video and downloaded the pdf for a time when I can actually try it! Thankyou! Love learning new things!

So many new techniques, I love it!! Thank you for sharing! Will definitely be making one! ❤
I know, even I can hardly catch up with everything popping up these days 🤗 oh happy crocheting
Thank you so much. I have just learned 2 new things. Never started with this method before and never tried waistcoat stitch . And the pdf is a super bonus. My 2025 is off to a fab start. Ah.. Maze.. Zing !!!!

Awesome idea! You can mix and combine all the patterns that I provided in this and the bonus video 🤗
Thank you for the patters and for the tutorial. 🙏🥂🍾🥳

Love this Ann, thank you for sharing 🤗
Woow! This is so awesome 😍I love it !!! ❤ thanks for sharing how you do it! 👍🏼
My pleasure 🤗 happy crocheting
I have never seen that I cord technique before! That was so cool to watch! I’ve done crochet I cord before, but it was NOT that easy.
Thank you. The start with an i-cord really changed my crochet so much. And it's way more fun and way less fiddly than with a chain. Try it! Once you got the flow it goes super fast and you always have the perfect start for your projects 🤗 happy new year 🎉
This is so cool! Thank you for sharing! I used to be a very avid knitter and loved doing colorwork! Tendonitis made me stop knitting because it became too painful, but for some reason, crocheting hasn't given me the same issues, so I've switched over to that! I miss being able to knit stuff like this, so Im so excited to try it with crocheting!
Aww, thank you for sharing your story! It's amazing to see how crochet connects us all. I'm sure you will love this technique, especially with all your knitting knowledge. In addition, watch out for my next tutorial 😉 this might be interesting for everyone experiencing pain when knitting 😉
Thank you, I love your explanation.
I want to use this stitch on a flat way, not in round.
I appreciate your help.
Thank you.
Hi, I'm currently working on ways to do that. With traditional crochet, it's not possible, but there are other ways very similar to crochet. I'll keep you updated 🤗
Thomas thank you for this detailed explanation and tutorial, you have given me inspiration to try this, I have only used the waistcoat stitch for baskets in the past .❤I’m looking forward to future projects matching mittens or fingerless gloves would be great !
Hi, I'm glad you like it. Have fun trying it, it's super fun and very easy with the color changes. In my next video I'll show also how to make this in the flat 😉🤗
You could even make a sweater with that stitch !!!!! ❤🎉
It works up very thick and quite firm so it might be very very warm. Could be ok with a Supersoft yarn though :)
Absolutely 💯 so many things. Trying to figure out how it works when not in the round. Once I did, then the possibilities are endless 🤗
Agreed, I wouldn't mind a chunky, cozy sweater, tho, especially today on this super cold day. But for all the not so cold days I'd definitely go with a supersoft or light yarn too 🤗
Making several headbands for next years stocking stuffers.
Love the idea! Have fun making them 😍
Yes, really beautiful 🤩🙏
Thank you so much 🤗
Finally found the inspo I needed to pull my box of yarn out! Thanks for being my muse.
Aww, I love that! I'm always here to get inspired. I'm sure you'll like this technique. I have been addicted ever since 🤣
I bet you would love mosaic overlay crochet as well. I make double sided blankets with beautiful patterns with mosaic.
Mosaic is on my list of things I want to learn more. I only made it once for a cowl that ended up looking way to pretty to wear it 🙈🤣 it's a fun technique and I'm sure I'll dive into in the future
I've been knitting for 35 years and crocheting for 60 years. I LOVE learning new techniques and the is totally GENIUS! Thank you so much! I've got to finish up these Christmas gifts and I'm gonna start next year's right after using all the techniques you've shown!!!
I'm happy you like it and I'm sure you will love this technique as much as I do. I got so addicted that I now have to rush finishing other christmas gifts lol. Should've done it like you 😉 anyway, merry christmas and happy crocheting
Wow!! 🤩🤩 I used to be an avid knitter many years ago, but had to switch to crochet because of nerve damage in my fingertips. It was only a couple days ago that I was wishing I could knit Scandinavian-style pattern. Imagine my surprise when your video randomly popped up (I wasn't even doing a search - yay RUclips). Amazing! Thank you so much!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That is awesome! I'm glad my video popped up (thanks RUclips) 🎉 enjoy it, this makes so much fun
Thanks for sharing this is so beautiful I hope I can learn more with your videos and you explain everything step by step God Bless you and pls continue with this videos help me a lot 😅
Aww that's very sweet. And no worries, I'll definitely continue making tutorials and sharing with you what I love doing the most ❤️ happy crocheting
PS, you did a great job!
Thanks a lot 🤗
Thank you for your original tutos🧶🧶🧶I’m glad to have found your channel. I ´m from France 🇫🇷 .
Merci beaucoup 😉 et un p'tit bonjour de l'Allemagne 🤗 je serai en Alsace pour quelques semaines à partir du 20ème 🎉
I made design patterns myself. I made wreaths with ribbons as the decoration.
That's awesome. I'm sure they turned out beautiful 😍
Simply WOW 🤩
Thank you 🤗
Thank you! Amaaazing!❣
You're welcome 😊 glad you liked it
Thank you! I’ve been doing the knit stitch Tunisian crochet for a knitted look but Tunisian, though beautiful, does have some drawbacks. As well, I’ve tried small samples of Waistcoat stitch before but thought it was tedious and never used it in a project. Your tutorial inspires me to try again as I love your work here! Thanks so much for a great tutorial!
I'm happy that my tutorial inspired you to try it again. And a big yes for a new try!
You are right, tunisian knit stitch is ok, but the Vs are a bit irregular imo. And I never tried it with more colors or to create a pattern. The waistcoat stitch worked perfectly 👌
So beautiful ❤, thanks
My pleasure 🤗
Love how your head band came out! First time watching your channel and I am hooked 😊🧶
Yay! Thank you! 🤗 I love these headbands too. Now I have by far the coolest headbands in the neighborhood 😎
Pretty easy stitch .
Thank-you ❤
Super easy indeed 👌 have fun with it
Some people call it knit stitch, I crocheted many garments with this stitch but I didn't know how to crochet it on deferent colors (like tapestry crochet). Thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You're very welcome. I had no idea either that this is possible. And xhanging colors is really easy with this stitch. Surprisingly easy 🎉 have fun trying it
stunning!!! Beautiful work
Thank you so much! 🤗
Cool method to crochet the I-cord. Another alternative is the foundation single crochet stitch. It is somewhat stretchier than the chain stitch. There is also a foundation double crochet stitch.
Thanks for sharing! I use foundation stitches a lot too. I even have a video explaining them and the pros and cons. Personally I just love the i-cord because it's a "stable" first round. Nothing fiddly and perfectly straight. And you get 4 easy loops to continue with 😉
Oh this is so lovely! I was just lookimg for a new pattern for a cardigan I´m going to make and I will definitly incoorporate this in it somewhere. Looks fabulous! Maybe just at the bottom above the ribbing
That sounds like a great idea! Above the ribbing or as cuffs for example. This works best in the round. If used otherwise just cut the yarn after each round and add the next row without turning 😉 a few more yarn ends to take care of but it'll look stunning
@@totally_fierce 🥰
Bonjour from France district Auvergne ! Thank you so much for sharing this way of making crochet with so beautiful headbands.I ll make it for my two grand daughters. ❤❤❤
Un très grand bonjour du sud de l'Allemagne, près de Stuttgart 😉 I'm glad you like my video and I'm sure your grand daughters will love their new headband 🎅 bonnes fêtes à vous tous
I am new to your channel. You had me hooked at “… super addictive”. Love your presentation.😊
Thanks so much 😊 I'm glad that you've found me. And it's true, making these headbands with the waistcoat stitch and the patterns is extra addictive. Couldn't stop 🤣
Hi,
I crochet AND I knit and I just found you with this video.
I LOVE this! I've been crocheting since I was about 4 years old (55 years now) and I've never seen this before. I'm excited to start using this technique. Thank you so much for sharing your find and your wonderful PDF. I've subscribed and liked this video as well as saved it so that I can revisit it as I may need to.
Keep up the good work, I'll see you again soon!
Happy stitching!
✌️💜🧶
Aww thanks a lot, you're too sweet. I learned crochet when I was 8 (46 now). Have fun creating something beautiful with this technique, happy crocheting and merry christmas ❤️🤗🎅
😮🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️💯
I'm totally here for this🧐😉💓
Simply Beautiful ❤️
Thank You 👍🏾
Aww thank you, that makes me happy 😊
My knocking needles are on the way 😊
Yaaay 🎉 it feels like we are all going to have a biiiiiig knooking party 🥳
nice design for people who can't knit.
Right? That was exactly what I was going for 🤗
I've recently taken up crochet. I used to knit Aran and Fairisle patterns but this is the first time I've seen this in crochet. When I've finished my current project - a scarf in shell stitch which will be a Christmas gift to a friend, I should have some yarn left over so will try this. Subscribed.
Sounds awesome. I'm jelly cause I can't knit a bit and always dream about all those gorgeous patterns. You will have no issues crocheting these and it is so much fun 🤗🎉
This is soo beautiful. I can’t wait to try this technique. I’m always amazed at the knitting patterns because I can’t knit to save my life. Great alternative. Ty for showing this.
Absolutely, this is a great alternative for people like us who can't knit but want the look of it 🎉 big win for us
Na besten Dank! Da quäl ich mich vor genau einem Jahr damit ab, das Mosaik häkeln zu lernen, um nicht so kompliziert Muster zu stricken, die ja bei Fehlern so elendig zu korrigieren sind und jetzt kommt da einer um die Ecke mit den Geheimnissen, die ich mir vor einem Jahr so dringend gewünscht habe!
Unfassbar! 😭
Also, ganz lieben Dank für die Anleitung! Ich bin begeistert! 🤩
Wird sofort ausprobiert!
Schöne Feiertage und gerne wieder so tolle Ideen!
🤣 Ich wünschte auch ich hätte das schon früher gekannt 😉 und es freut mich total, dass es so gut ankommt und viel Freude bereitet. Bin absolut süchtig danach.
Vielen herzlichen Dank für die Lieben Worte. Wünsche ebenfalls schöne Weihnachten und viel viel Spaß beim Häkeln 🤗😍
Ausgezeichnet, fantastisch! 🤩👍🏻♥️
Thanks! I downloaded your pdf and appreciate your tutorial!
Aww, thank you so so much 🤗😘 I appreciate it! Have a wonderful new year ✨️
How do I download it I’ve never downloaded from RUclips?
First-time viewer, and I'm impressed! I both knit and crochet. Each craft is enjoyable - they're like children that way, and I don't need to have a favorite (though I tend to prefer knitting). I appreciate that this stitch fools the eye, creating a squishy and warm fabric from the doubled yarn strands. Thank you for this gift! Now I must make a few headbands fast! 🧶❄️🧶❄️🧶❄️
Aww, thank you, too. I'm the same, I like all crafts that I can do equally. Have fun making the headbands with crochet even though you'd probably be so much faster with knitting 😉😊
Great beautiful técnica merry Christmas special
Same to you! Thank you so much 🤗
I’m a self-taught crocheter of 30+ years and learned to knit a few years ago. You’re an excellent teacher and I’m excited to try this, thank you!
Thank you so much! You will have fun making this 🤗
So beautiful❤
Thank you so much 🤗
New subscriber here. That was an awesome demonstration of the waistcoat stitch. Thank you!

Popped up in my feed. Thank you for thinking of us lefties! Love your teaching style. Subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you, and welcome to my channel. I'm a lefty myself, so of course, there will always be both versions 🤗 happy crocheting
WOW! I will have to learn this stitch, if only to show off at my craft group when it starts up in January.
Thank you for sharing this method, and also for making the pdf available so easily ❤
You are very welcome 🤗 I want a craft group too, that sounds amazing. Have fun trying out this technique, I think it's so addictive and fun 🎉
The scissors are darn cute xD
I know, I love them! They are from hobbii in case you wanna get them for yourself 😉
@@totally_fierce Dann werde ich wohl nicht umhin kommen, schnellstens eine zu kaufen ;)
Ha, auf jeden Fall! Mit dem Bingo-Rabatt von heute gäbe es auch noch 10% Rabatt 🎉 BINGO10DE 🥳

Aww, that is so sweet. Thank you so much 🤗 welcome to my totally fierce crochet world & happy crocheting
I love this so much!!!! I recently tried knitting but I cannot do it! So glad I can actually make this !!!
Yes you definitely can. And I know that you'll love it. Perfect for people like us who just can't knit 😉
Wow! Thank you so much! I've recently learned to do color changes for tapestry. This will be my next big conquest! I just found your channel and will be subscribing. I cannot wait for your next great project.
Aww, thanks a lot 🙏 I'm glad you like it and I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with this conquest. And here, the color changes are super easy 🎉
lol. I wore something with a stitch marker in also!
🤣🤣🤣 it's all part of the look, right? 🤣
Thank you so much for your teaching , the technique is so great! Beautiful , beautiful headband
It's my pleasure! I'm glad you like it 🤗
You must have magical crochet hooks. Beautiful!
Ha I wish, then I would tell them to crochet faster 😉 but it's definitely making to end up with something that looks knitted and it's crochet! Amazing 🎉
Love this pattern😍. It would be great with a matching pair of fingerless gloves .
That would be cool! Great idea 😍
These headbands are gorgeous and I've learned something as well. Thank you for sharing. I'm a new subscribers here. Have an awesome festive season. ❤❤
Thank you, too. I'm glad you like it. Have a wonderful festive season, too 🎅🤗
Huh am i happy to find you🎉
So let's crochet together❤
Aww, yes, let's crochet together 🎉🎉
Amazing! Thank you - you are a great teacher! I was looking for a new crochet challenge and I cannot wait to give it a try!
Yaaay, I love new crochet challenges too! And this one is absolutely perfect 👌
Really beautiful. This video answers the problems I had with this stitch that I did without any tutorials.
I had very good results but with your tips and especially the transition it will impeccable from now on.
Thank you so much!
That's wonderful, I'm glad you find my video helpful 🤗 happy crocheting
Thank you. This is brilliant. I use a knitting machine and like to add on with crochet. Now I can't make patterns 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Wonderful! Just today, I was wondering if you could create these patterns with a knitting machine. I haven't used a knitting machine yet but who knows... 😉
This is so cool. I can’t wait to try it. You are a good teacher!
Thank you so much, have fun with it 🤗
Beautiful work! Love this technique! Thanks much! 🧶
You’re welcome 😊 happy crocheting
Beautiful and an excellent tutorial! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much 🤗 I'm glad you like it
I am now obsessed with your waistcoat designs . I would love to assist you with your knitting skills. Thank you for the tutorial personally I could knit the piece far quicker without the palaver. Happy crochet and a hug for Holli
Did you like the surprise shoutout? Had to bite my tongue all week not to warn you 😉 and I know, a knitter can make this in no time. But for me, this is just insane 🤣 I tried knitting so many times and never felt that kick to properly learn and use it. But you know, never say never, I'm always open to learn something 🤗 have you ever tried forking (aka lucet)?
Thank you do much for this excellent tutorial. I have never seen the I cord done in crochet before and what a lovely easy cast on it is. Both headbands look fabulous.
Thank you, the i-cord makes the beginning so much easier. And fun tbh. I'm using it evertime I have a regular straight project start ☺️
@@totally_fierce I have not used I-cord before because I had not yet seen such beautiful and easy to follow crochet directions. Thank you!
Aww thank you. Once you know how to do it you have the first round done in no time 🤗
Thank you so much, I've been trying to figure this out on my own and you just totally answered most of my questions! Definitely going to try this soon. I was wanting to make Christmas hotpads/ pot holders for family and friends with cotton yarn...might try your pattern with an adaptation and see if it can be done. I'm thinking maybe double sided and a fund edge stitch to tie the two together...got some experimenting to do!🤔🧶😉
Hi, thank you for your message. I could definitely see fun potholders with pattern made with this technique. I'd even make it simple: crochet in the round so that you have either 2 designs (one on each side) or just one of the patterns repeated as many times as you like. Once done just sew the top and bottom part together, add a hanger and you're done. No border that goes all around needed. I have a short where I made ornaments like that and this would work perfectly for potholders as well 🤗 just as an idea:

@totally_fierce I'll check that out, thanks so much!😁👍
Muy bonito y muy bien explicado gracias por compartir
Thank you so much ☺️ muchas gracias
I absolutely love this pattern! Thank you for making it free! ❤❤
Thankbyou, I'm happy you like it 🤗 the pattern is my gift, not only because it's Christmas season 😉 merry christmas and happy crocheting 🤗
Loved your video. The project is incredibly gorgeous. Thank you so much for providing a pattern.
Of course, I want everybody to make and have fun with it 🤗 thank you so much
All I can say is - AMAZING!
Thank you so much ☺️ I feel the same way every time I look as these fabulous crochet pieces ❤️
Thanks a million for sharing! You’re great teaching!
Aww, thank you, I love making tutorials 🤗
Gorgeous!! Thank you for the tutorial.
You are so welcome! Have fun with it 🤗
Nicely done. Thank You. Love from Ontario, Canada ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! ❤️ Love from the south of Germany 🇩🇪
Oh Wow. That is incredible. So very cool. Your directions are very clear. Thank you for sharing your new obsession😉
Ha, it really is a new obsession, and this won't be my last crochet knit-alike project 😉 thanks a lot
This is GORGEOUS!! I can’t wait to try it! 😍
Thomas, I just printed the pattern and my first thought was, “I might just knit this, I know how slow the waistcoat stitch is..”🫣😆
I am over the moon, couldn't stop creating patterns and making pieces 🎉🤣
I know, for those you can knit that would be much faster. Of course you can just knit the pattern. You get the same look with both techniques, how amazing is that? 🎉
Brilliant, thanks for sharing. L9ve the blue colours
Thank you, too! 🤗 the blue headband is my favorite. I was speechless when I saw how this would turn out ❤️ absolutely gorgeous
Awesome, thanks for sharing your story and time!
You are very welcome 🤗 glad you enjoyed it
the result is similar to mosaic crochet, I made many projects using mosaic. Blankets, cushion covers, showls and what not :)
Wonderful instruction and a lovely pattern!
Thank you! 😊 Glad you like it
Wow really nice. Keep up the nice work 😊
Thank you! 😊 I'm trying my best
