- Hi Crochet Friends!
Thought you might enjoy this video on how to find the different parts of your stitch. This is a great way to arm yourself with all the information you need when working on more intricate patterns that work into different parts off the crochet stitch.
Remember: If there's anything I missed, leave me a comment and I'll be sure to address it:)
Happy Crocheting Everyone!

thank you so much!!! this is the hardest thing about crocheting actually xD it’s where most people mess up, when we can’t really identify the proper place to enter the hook etc.
Thank you for your comments. I'm glad to know it's helping fellow crocheters:)
Finally, a clear explanation of the bottom stitch. Thank-you for this!
😀My pleasure! Glad it is useful for you:)
Brilliant clear instructions thank you. Our UK stitches are diff to us but it was still clear for me to follow.
Oh good to hear. Yes, I know the terminology is a little different but glad it was clear enough that still made sense. thanks for your comment. It helps me know I'm on the right track with helping our crochet friends:)
Thanks for this, just what I needed.
Wonderful!:)
This has been so helpful !! No one has explained this in the beginner videos I have been watching. Great tutorial!!!
Thank you for the comment. It makes me happy to know this is useful and helpful:) Happy crocheting!

Thank you, this helps a lot ❤
Hi there! That's wonderful to hear.👍
Wonderful!!! Thanks so much! 😊😊😊
My pleasure! thanks for saying hi:)
Great video!!! I just started crocheting yesterday and everything makes sense now!!! I had a hard time looking for the back loop. 🤣
Wonderful! I am so happy this video helped!
Looking forward to more of these, thx!
👍 hope the latest upload today also helped out.

Thank you for your very helpful tutorial. I have a very beginner question. Sometimes I get mixed up as to what is the next stitch. I know it’s the one next to the stitch just worked but it looks confusing to me..
Hi Cheryl, the stitch to the left of the one you have just worked (or to the right if you are left handed) will have a v-like shape on top. If you snuggle your hook in just under that little v, which has two little loops, you have just inserted your hook into the very next stitch. If you insert it lower, underneath the next loop down or beside the post if you are working a double crochet, you would be working in between the posts and not the stitch.
I hope this all makes sense. It can be a little tricky to explain in words but I am hoping that helps. Let me know if still doesn't make sense and I will try to find a another way to explain it. Hope you are enjoying you crochet journey so far!

Thank you for this wonderful video! Do all patterns indicate which portion of the stitch to work into? Is there a default? LOL I mean, if the pattern doesn't tell you, what do you work into? I'm pretty much a beginner, but it seems like most times you either work into the back stitch or under both front and back stitches. Thanks for any help!
Hi Cathy! That is an excellent question! Usually in patterns, the default is to work into the full stitch which means both loops of the stitch. If it needs to be worked differently, the patter will indicate otherwise. Hope that helps. And thank you for your comment:) Happy crocheting!
@@TheStitchSessions Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot, I sure want to see the video you will be putting up.
Great! I have been working on it and will post it very soon - before the end of the month. Stay tuned!:)
Hi Elaine! I hope you find this week's tutorial a little extra helpful:)
Thank you! This was so well explained and useful for a beginner!
Thank you for this helpful video. Can you please explain the 'back hump' of a single crochet? Not just in the beginning train but in row after row? I have a pattern that says to work in the back hump, which I can find in the initial chain but after that I just lose it! Thanks so much!
Hmm I 've never heard of the back bump of a SC. Perhaps they meant to describe the back loop? Or even the back legs (the vertical loops created?) Can you refer me to the pattern you are using. I can have a look and see.
@@TheStitchSessions Yes. Thanks so much.
@@TheStitchSessions "size
DIRECTIONS:
H ^ - 8
With Color A, using size 1-9 hook, ch 137.
Row 1: Worked in back bump of sts across row. Sc in second ch from hook and in each ch across, ch 1, turn. (136 sc)
Note: For ease of stitching in back bump, you may fold the 2 Ips of each st forward.
Rows 2-5: Continue working in back bumps, sc in each st across, ch 1, turn
Here is a snippet from the directions
@@cathygubernick1289 Hmmmm, I've never seen a pattern written with this wording. I think they are talking about the back bumps of the starting chain and then for subsequent rows, I think they mean the back loops. The only other thing I can think of is the horizontal bar that forms on the single crochet but that ends up in the front when you turn your work. 🤔 Maybe try going into the back loops for your pattern and see how it starts to form.
2:41 1/12/24. I haven't worked on this afghan for 3 years but now want to finish it but dint have the pattern. How can I figure out my stitches and pattern again. Please help!
Yes, for sure. Please email me a picture to info@crochetcrafty.com and Ill have a look. 👍
How do I recognize 3 dbc in back ch from 1 dbc in front ch? When I lose count I don't know where left off.
Hi Shirley, I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by dbc in front ch. Do you mean front loop or back loop? Also what do you mean by 3dbc in front ch. If you could give me a little clarification I am happy to help:)
I get very confused on “next st” and “base of , chain 3” for example. AND, when you join with a slip st, is that your ‘first st’ of the next row, or the one beside it that you can see the full ‘v’?
Hi Elaine,
The "next st" refers to the stitch right beside the one you have just worked. If you are right handed that would mean the stitch to the left of the one you have just worked. So it would be that full 'v' you see. If you are left handed, it would be to the right. What is the base of a stitch is the very bottom of your double crochet, for example. It's what the first stitch of a new row sits on, which is usual a chain of 1, 2, or 3 chains.
When working in the round and we slip stitch, you are slip stitching into the first stitch of that current round, so you would then work up your next stitch on top of that one. For example you would chain three after you have slip stitched to join and that would be considered your first double crochet of the next round which sits on top of the slip stitch of the previous round/row. Hope that makes sense?
These are excellent questions and I am going to put up another video in the next few days outlining these to be a little clearer. It's probably better to see it on video as I explain it.:) Thanks for reaching out and I hope this written explanation has helped a little bit. I will follow up in a few days with another version of the stitch identification process (video).
Take care!

Can i post a ppicture of the afghan i stopped working on 3 years ago and someone tell me what stitches I've used?
you bet! I left you a note in your previous message.
What to fo if i want to find the starting point
Hi there! Do you mean the very first chain of the start? The easiest way would be to look for your tail and the loop next to the knot would be your first chain.
Hope that makes sense!
Which loop belongs to which post in case I need to front post then skip a stitch and then half dc the next stitch ? Do the loops lean to the right side the of post ?
Hi Mrs Vivian!
The loops do indeed lean to the right of the post when you are looking at the front of your work. If you turn your work to face the back of the stitches - like many scarf or blanket projects might ask you to do - then your loops will lean a little more to the left. Hope this helps and thanks for asking a great question:) I might do a further detailed video on that topic in future. Happy crocheting!

Thank you kindly !! Yes indeed it makes sense and is very helpful in knowing where to insert my hook .
