This was very interesting. I like the way you pick up the entire stitch from the previous row on your second row. It makes a very attractive and strong foundation. Thank you for clear instructions and easily visible camera work. You also work at a speed that is straightforward and more suited to more experienced crocheters. Appreciate your help.
Thank you! 🧡 I’m so glad to hear it was helpful! I guess I just naturally picked up the whole stitch - it felt better for me that way! There's really no right or wrong way to do it. 🙂
Thank you for this video. I use this stitch to make seat cushions for my church. I use a #6 bulky yarn and I use two skeins simultaneously to achieve the thickness I need for softness. The cushions are a big hit. Thank you.
Thank you for your very clear tutorial. I learned this pattern about 8 years ago and had begun a large hot pad to use on my kitchen counter, but suffered a very serious shoulder injury only a few months into crocheting (I've been crocheting for 48 years, so didn't forget anything, just couldn't use my badly injured right upper extremity). I finally finished the hot pad just tonight, October 28, 2021, but had forgotten how to start another one, so I'm very happy to see this excellent tutorial 😊.
The first row on any crochet stitch is the hardest. Just take your time and get it right and the rest of them will be a lot easier. I’ve been doing this for 45 years and every time I learn a new stitch I just remember this rule.
@@MyCrochetSpace interesting. It looks so much nicer. I’m experimenting, trying this for someone but my ends are sticking up higher and it’s super stiff. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
If I wanted to make a potholder that was a little bit wider, would I just add another even amount of stitches to the chain (probably just two or four more), or does the chain have to be a multiple of three?
Yes, the third row (and all rows after) is worked through one loop on the row below. In the second row, I worked through both chain loops as I like the way it looks when it's done but you can also go through one chain loop in the second row as well if it's easier! :)
I am confused...on your first pass of joining the two rows together you went through the back loop of the row you just created and then you go through both loops of the parallel row but on subsequent rows you only go through one loop of the parallel row. So should I be going through both loops on the first pass or was that just something you inadvertently did?
I prefer to go through both foundation chain loops but you can also just go through one. It doesn't really matter in the very first thermal stitch row. You can also work the first row into the back chain loops like it this video and see if it works better for you: ruclips.net/video/VfwpXwnYUL0/видео.html Hope this helps! :)
Thank you.. Would you please explain.... How to continue making a bag on a thermal stitch bottom.. Cause I could not determine the stitches to start single crochet for the body of the bag..
If I understood you right, you made the bottom of the bag using thermal stitches and want to continue with single crochet? You'll just need to insert your hook under both loops (not just the back loop) plus the unworked loop on row below and work normal single crochets. The same way as I show in this video how to finish the last row, but instead of slip stitch work a single crochet stitch. Hope this helps! :)
Glad you like it! :) It depends on your current skills! If you are an experienced crocheter, you could make it in an hour. If you're a beginner, give yourself a couple of days :)
Hi Linda, 10ply in the US is equivalent to Weight 4/Medium (worsted) yarn. I'm not in the US but it should be available in most stores where they sell yarn. Hope this helps :)
Hi! I stumbled across your channel and I have to tell you that I love this pattern!!! The only problem I am having is finding 10 ply yarn! Can you tell me the brand of yarn that you are using?
Happy to hear you like the pattern! 💓 I used Finch Fiddlesticks cotton yarn, which is available here in Australia. It's a 10-ply yarn, equivalent to #4 medium worsted weight/Aran yarn.
Thanks! The reason I was having a hard time was none of our yarns that I can see say 10 ply on them. I found a cotton yarn that is medium #4 which should work just fine!

That's a great idea to make cushions! Thank you for sharing 💚
Great idea!
Seems easier than the waffle stitch, thanks

Oh wow, that's great that you have completed it, so happy you found it helpful! Hope your shoulder has healed nicely... 💛
I have tried this stitch several times with no success- your video is awesome- I finally did it!!! Thank you so much for a great tutorial
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful :)

Thank you! :)
Hi This video is very much fun to see. Thanks for weekly totorials.
LG Kevin
Thank you Kevin, glad you like it! 😊
Woww thermal stich.. I can’t crochet this stich , so far.. I’m learning how to crochet 😩.. it’s look lovely color. Love it
That's great that you're learning to crochet! Thermal stitch can be a little tricky in the beginning so don't worry if it takes a little longer :)
The first row on any crochet stitch is the hardest. Just take your time and get it right and the rest of them will be a lot easier. I’ve been doing this for 45 years and every time I learn a new stitch I just remember this rule.
Oh I really like this pattern I’m going to try to make it
That's great!!! You can check the blog post if you need a written pattern :)
Loved your explanation ... just perfect. Thank you
Thank you! :)
Nice nice stitch! Thank you.
You're welcome! :)
awesome! Thank you! I'm adding to my try-it list!
That yarn looks so soft, all cotton I’ve seen seems stiffer. What brand is this?
This is Fiddlesticks Finch cotton yarn, it's sold in Australia :)
@@MyCrochetSpace interesting. It looks so much nicer. I’m experimenting, trying this for someone but my ends are sticking up higher and it’s super stiff. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
@@eileenniehaus5368 It's hard to say without seeing it. Try using a larger size hook, it might help!
If I wanted to make a potholder that was a little bit wider, would I just add another even amount of stitches to the chain (probably just two or four more), or does the chain have to be a multiple of three?
Yes, you can add any number of chains until you achieve your desired width. It doesn't need to be a multiple of anything. 😊
@@MyCrochetSpace thank you so much!!
So cotton is better than aryclic when it come to crocheting potholder. Because I'm worry about the heat when in contact with the yarn.
Yes, I use 100% cotton yarn. Acrylic will melt if it's too hot. :)
Any suggestions on brands that are 100% cotton?
How much yarn does it take to make one potholder, with the single crochet stitch and double crochet stitch?🥰
I used a whole skein for each of the potholders, approximately 119 yards (109 meters) each :)
So on the first row go thru both on chain but on 3rd row go thru first loop on second row?
Yes, the third row (and all rows after) is worked through one loop on the row below. In the second row, I worked through both chain loops as I like the way it looks when it's done but you can also go through one chain loop in the second row as well if it's easier! :)
@@MyCrochetSpace , kk. Just making sure i didnt see wrong, thankyou❣

I will try do it the way you did advise..
Thank you very much
Can this be used to make oven mitts? Or is this stitch only meant to be worked as a square? Either way I loved your video and explanation!
Thank you! :) I haven't made oven mitts with this stitch yet but I'm pretty sure it can be done. The thermal stitch can be worked in the round :)
@@MyCrochetSpace thank you! I’m definitely gonna have to start testing out different patterns to see!
Thanks for the great video! How long does this take to make :)
Glad you like it! :) It depends on your current skills! If you are an experienced crocheter, you could make it in an hour. If you're a beginner, give yourself a couple of days :)
I still can't do it. does it matter what way the row is facing when ur on the third row? I stopped there
You turn it vertical and work on the same side as I show in the video :) That way you see the stitches better!
🙏
Where in the US can I buy 10ply cotton yarn.

@@MyCrochetSpace Thank You.
I use Lily Sugar’n Cream yarn for my kitchen potholders, dishcloths and dish towels.
I use several cotton yarns, whatever I come across that I like. BUT, I really like the softness of I Love This Cotton @Hobby Lobby.
Still trying to get it….
