- How to crochet using moss stitch for beginners: Moss Stitch is my favorite stitch! Learn how to use a simple and repetitive technique to make anything from scarves and pillows to blankets and even sweaters using moss stitch! (Also sometimes called linen stitch). In this tutorial, I used large sized yarn and hook so you can easily see the stitches. I would love to see what you've made with moss stitch! Let me know in the comments!
I absolutely love the moss stitch, especially when there’s some sort of color change, but the amount of videos on how to do it is wild. Some say start with an even number of chains, others start with odd; some have a two-row repeat, others a single… it’s very confusing for someone who’s been crocheting less than six months. This seems to be one of the better explanations and I definitely prefer single line repeats so I’m going to practice this one and see how I do. 😅
Thank you for the explanation, it was really helpful, especially the pants reference!
The pants have saved my day! I kept undoing and redoing because I kept missing the stitch and didn't really know how to spot the gap. This has been SO helpful, thank you :)
I love the “pants” comment!!!!! ❤❤
Just found you. Excellent tutorial. Looking forward to many more! Thank you💞
What size hook are you using here? Where would I get it? 😊
What size cricket hook for 4 medium weight yarn? Bulky yarn doesn’t have the colors in 2022.
What hook for dk yarn I'm 70 year old beginner
This is not correct.
How is it not correct?
@@GingerKnots hi Ginger. I have looked at a few moss stitch and they don’t go into the first stitch. They did not say to make a sc in the last stitch of the row. Let me know and I can send you the link of maybe a different style. It’s that last stitch and first stitch I wanted to know what was the right way or number of stitches to work with. I believe they said an even number
@@cheryls4526 Lots of ways to do it and this is one of them! I like teaching this way so that each row repeats the same for a beginner.
Now when I look down at my working row, I see “bunny ears” and “pants”!! Let me thank you now for changing my crochet world!! {{winking}}…
3:13 😅
It made sense the way she described it. I couldn’t find where to stitch watching so many other videos. Now I look for bunny ears and pants.
I’ve been crocheting for almost 15 years and you have no idea how much this trick worked for me! I finally get it! 😂❤
I love the “pants” terminology! Thank you so much, it’s gonna make my project so much easier!!
Calling the back of the single crochet “pants” actually made me understand where to put the next stitch. Thank you for your silly terminology because it was actually really helpful!
Are you suppose to put one single crochet in the last stitch or two single crochet in the last stitch, then chain one and then turn? Please help me I am really confused, looks like you put one single crochet chain one and then turn. What is the right way? Anybody else know!
I have this question too! She says put 2 single crochets together in the last stitch but then she just puts one and then chains and turns. I can't believe no one else is asking this question and that it's never been answered...The only thing I can guess is that 2 singles are going in the same stitch but you do one and then chain and then turn and then do the other, but she really should clarify this.
I think she's counting the chain as the second single crochet
Thanks so much for this wonderful, helpful video. The “pants” reference was just what I needed.❤️❤️
Me too Bobbie!
THANK YOU! The best Moss stitch for beginners I've watched and the "pants" explanation was an AHA moment for me.
Excellent tutorial!! I wish I had watched it all the way through before starting though. Turns out I was doing it wrong, but after your tip about the "pants" I figured it out. I'm brand new at crocheting, I've only done single crochet in varying sizes of rectangles. Can't wait to watch some more of your videos.
Hope you have many happy years of crocheting!
“Pants” - Love it! Now I get the moss stitch and love it! thank you Ginger.😊
The “Pants” reference was exactly what I was looking for I’ve been struggling for 3 days now trying to figure out if I was going in the right gap and no one else broke it down like you didn you have no clue how grateful I am for that analogy 👖☺️😂🙏😊
Thank you for making this so easy! I finally got it! I’m going to start a blanket 👍
Great video 😂 there are so many tutorials out there teaching the moss/linen stitch. No disrespect to them but I love the fact you start with a sc row first. Thank you. ❤
I’m mainly a knitter, but I’m loving crochet more and more and most all my crochet projects are in moss stitch! My fave too!
Thank you for your 'ridiculous ' terminology. It was exactly the tip we all needed! As a teacher I know that all my students need lots of ways to learn. As a student myself PANTS were just what I needed to learn the moss stitch!
Can't thank you enough for the humor as well!!
I am a beginner and i love the terminology you use.. Bunny ears and now pants...😂😍 It really helps to learn it.
The "don't talk to me, I'm counting" is SO REAL! I missed an entire drama filled friendship breakup because i was trying to count to 27 💀
I am a knitter who is attempting to be more proficient in crochet. This video gave me hope 😂Super instructional video!!
Best moss stich tutorial I've seen
I NEVER comment on videos but I have to compliment you on the explanation of the PANTS. That was a perfect example/explanation of how to find the spot to insert the hook. Thank you!!
Wanted to learn this stitch for a scarf. Absolutely love this tutorial!
I've been crocheting for 6 years and I'm obsessed with calling the stitches pants 😂
"Pants!" That helped so much!! Thank you for the visual/
Hey, great tutorial can you please teach how to increase the moss stitch basically to make sleeves for cardigan
Don't split the pants! Insert hook between the pairs of pants!😁
I LOVE your tip on the pants! It's the best explanation I've heard! Thanks!
I did this moss stitch for a baby blanket. I wanted to do a border to add to the finished look. The starter row however was different than other 3 rows so it didn't look the same, since the first "starter row" is a row of s.c. any thoughts on this?
This is the fourth video I watched and the first time I actually managed to figure out which chain space to work in! Thank you for the pants analogy, it saved me!
At end of first row where you’re actually doing the stitch you said the last stitch you did two sc into that stitch but ou didn’t
Thank your for the pants. I am a beginner who suffered from Moss Derangement Syndrome and now I count pants, Success!
Oh your “pants” indication helped a bunch! Thank you for that and thank you for the video, you make it easy to follow. You go slow and you explain; so helpful 😍🙏🏼thank you.
Wow, who knew there were so many ways to create this stitch. This is my favorite method because I also like to work off of a SC foundation. It adds stability and can be used as a border.
I love the drape of this stitch too. This and extended single crochet.
I’ve seen countless videos on moss stitch- but nothing helped me identify the chains until “between the pants!” It’s a game-changer!
So confusing because so many other people teach to do even row for the starting chain. I'm going to go with this one and see how it goes :-). And an update. I love this version so much. I also like a solid foundation chain. I've been wanting to use this stitch and every time I've gone to learn it, I get confused but this is definitely going to work. Awesome tutorial. Thank you!
Oh all the videos I’ve watched on the moss stitch this is by far the best!! The edges are straight and there is so much more structure by starting with a single crochet row first. Thank you so much!!❤️
I absolutely agree!!!
I love your terminology it helped me learn this stitch and not have a lot of frogging to do
I have been crocheting for years. Yet I have never heard the terms bunny ears or pants !!! Thank you for your technical terminology !! I use them now !!! Thank you for sharing and caring 👍🏿👏🏿🎈🙌🏼👊❤️😍🥰❌⭕️🎈💝🍓❣️
This is the best tutorial I have seen for this stitch. I love the bunny ears and pants. It really helps.
could you explain how to increase/decrease with this stitch?
I noticed you don’t do a single crochet chain one on the second to the last stitch. Is there a reason why?
In the beginning at the end of the first moss row you say, in the last stitch you can’t skip one so stitch 2 single crochet but it looks like you single crocheted into last one then chain one to turn. I’m confused.
Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial! I tried this again and again and after watching you, I can finally do it. I have tons of variegated yarn that is supposed to look great in this stitch. Also the pants and bunny ears are great visuals.
Hi, I'm a beginner, can you tell me what size was your yarn and what size was your hook? Or can you tell me what size of yarn you would use for a sweater? Using a miss stitch. Thank you this was very helpful!
I love the way the single crochet stitch was used to begin the blanket, now I am at the end of the blanket and trying to figure out how to transition back from the moss stitch to the single crochet to make a matching border
Hi! To do that. You would single crochet in both the space between the "pants" and in the "pants". In the ch 1 space and in the single crochet across.
@@GingerKnots omg thank u so much!!
Love this stitch! Thank you for the pattern! Making scarfs and lap blankets for gifts!!❤❤❤
thank you ! this is my first moss stitch project and the pattern I was following wasn't working , the two single crochets at the ends fixed all the problems I was having
LIGHTBULB MOMENT! The pants analogy just made my day! I now know what space to go into. Thank you thank you.
Love this stitch. I’m going to try to make a children’s scarf out of it. I’m not a real good at this, but I am going to try it anyway. You did a fantastic job in the video of teaching. Thanks so much.
Great video! I do have a question about the beginning of a row. If the previous row was just two single stitches, where do I put the first stitch? If I do it in the first chain space won’t that make it too short?
Thanks i gave up on this stitch. Im going to try again. Looking for the pants. I think tension matters. Ive seen numerous projects and some the pants are not vertical. They are sloppy. Making it harder to see where the hook should go
I like the way you explain things like the pants thank you for sharing 🥀🌹🌷♥️💟🎀
Great pants... I called them Vees. Every vid i see for Moss stitch they all are different .... Well the start might be different. But if one keeps it going it looks great
Thank you for this tutorial. I plan on making a blanket with this stitch. My only question is does it matter on the hook size? Or do you it according to the yarn like normal.
Omg I have struggled with this stitch for YEARS. And I was determined to master it with this one pattern I really really wanted to accomplish. But dang it if it wasn’t beating me again. So in yet another desperate tutorial search… THE BACK OF THE STITCH IS PANTS. I just… I get it. I FINALLY get it! I am so happy right now. Thank you so much!
This makes me SO HAPPY!
hmm all beginners videos move so fast on the stitch I cant tell whats happening
Would anyone know a decrease pattern on both sides for this type of moss stitch? I find that the traditional pattern for the moss stitch decrease doesn't work...any advice?
Im finding somehow Im increasing stitches each row, what would cause this? Thank you!
Would you please give me the name of the yarn you used in your video. Looks so silky and beautiful. Thank you so much.
Excelente pero mínimo pongan subtitulos en español gracias
awsome tutorial! i have an extra strand a of yarn in between my squares, is there something im doing wrong or is this normal?? im currently working on a sweater and just wanted to now if i needed to redo some of it!
You say to put two single crochets next to each other at the end of the row. But you don't do that. You single crochet one and then chain one.
Your tutorial appears the best=) Great idea to make a forced edge! Thanks a lot=)
Had to watch multiple how to's for this stitch and your's was by far the most helpful and easy to understand! Thank you sooo much. You're great!
Thank you for this video! I LOVE your terminology (pants and bunny ears). I’m new to the crochet world so I THANK YOU 😊
I am not able to make straight edges, can someone help me on that part? it is going downwards somehow. and its getting smaller :(
What brand is your hook it is nice deep hook so the stitches will not slip out.Thanks
ha haa... the 'pant' terminology made it easier to remember. 😂😂
Which color of Mandala yarn did you use on this project?
What are the 2 colors and where can I find this on your Utube channel
😊 like your way of teaching. Will follow you some more.
Love that yarn!Which yarn is that? Is that a weight 5 bulky or a different yarn? I am looking for a soft weight 5 yarn to make a striped throw blanket with but am having difficulty finding one and this yarn looks like it might be the perfect thickness. I need a light pink, a gray a little lighter than the gray you are using, and a white. Any suggestions welcome, as the worsted weight 4 yarns were just too lightweight!
Unfortunately, this yarn is discounted. I'd recommend Hue and Me by Lion Brand. It's so soft and has some gorgeous colors
Hahahaha love your terminology, I’m the same🤣🤣
Best tutorial on moss stitch😊. Thank you 🤗
Am I supposed to see holes? Does that mean my tension is not good enough?
I like be that stitch but how do u do the waves blanket with that stitch?
Do you have a written pattern I can follow please?
What size crochet needle are you using?
How do I keep my edges from getting bumpy?
Thank you so much, I was having a hard time finding a pattern to use for my blanket, I really appreciated this!!! ❤ God Bless, everyone!!! 😊
I also enjoy using strange explanations in life lol
It looks holy on the tutorial but it isn’t really ?
OMG...thank you! I'm a beginner and have watched a bunch of videos I was having trouble identifying the stitches. The "pants" did it for me. 🎉🎉
If it works it works. My geometry teacher: I Saw Hippies Tripping On Acid= ISHTOA the triangle stuff, after nearly a decade I can't remember the math but I remember that phrase.
Thank you. You explained everything really good so even beginners could understand. I am going to start my blanket tomorrow!❤❤❤
This was perfectly explained! I'm autistic so I hard time understanding verbal commands but this just clicked! Thank you!
Omg yours was like the 4th video I’ve watched trying to learn this stitch. I actually was able to make the stitch watching your video. Keep teaching the way you teach because it made sense to me. I finally was able to complete the moss stitch.. Thank you so much.
Very clear and easy to understand and see. Thank you. Is there a way to do this with double crochet so it works up faster I wonder?
Ive been crocheting this stitch for years and I never knew the name of it. Im 63 & my grandmother taught me to crochet & knit when I was 6 & how to pattern read when I was 10 I cant knit to save my life as crocheting was always my favorite. Thru the years I swore Id find the names of alit of my favorite pattern stitches & waalaa you have taught me the name of my "go to" stitch. Ive now subscribed to your channel & cant wait to see what new tricks & tips you can teach this old dog.! Thank you
Go between the pants 😆 ( in UK pants is underwear so it sounds funny!) , Great tip though to know which stitch. Really great video thank you.
Love your fun terms helps me remember ❤️
I had worked off a different moss stitch tutorial and didn't like the way the foundation row looked. Going back with a row of single crochet solves that. I also like that you work with an even number, now I won't have to focus on whether I'm in a row one or two, and just like you say, I can watch TV and have conversations and continue crocheting :)
what size crochet hook are you using?
Thankyou so much for using big size P needles. Your explanations are top notch. Since you're teacher that explains alot. Going to tell new crocheter's to go to your site. Your camera angles are magnificent. 🧶 Learned alot from you in a week time doing the super scarf.
