You presented this very well. The close up views make a big difference in where to place the hook, and what the stitch looks like. Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know you liked the video. I appreciate the kind words. I hope you find other videos you like on my channel.
Thank you kindly for this tutorial! As a complete beginner to crochet, I really appreciate that you included detailed information about how to use stitch markers. Losing my place and dropping stitches has been a frustrating pitfall for me and this really helps.
I have crocheted for many years and still use them. It only takes a second and in the end it’s worth it to make sure your hard work and hours for crocheting is not in vain. Every project turns out perfect every time. Hope I can help with other projects. God bless!!!
Thank you for your detailed tutorial. The basics for marker placement, crocheting over your ends, etc. I have been looking for this kind of tutorial that actually focuses on these small details. What a great tutorial.
I started on this cloth today and really like the brown with the blue and white strips at bottom and top. Would you be so kind as to tell me how many rows of each color? Start with brown a few rows then looks like a row of white then row of blue then white then continue body/middle with the brown till you get close to final edge of cloth. They’re so pretty!
A couple of questions for a beginner: 1. when making your foundation chain, you do your slip knot (I understand you don't count the knot) and put the hook through the slip knot loop. Is this slip knot loop your first chain or do you not count it? It looks like you started with the slip knot loop around the hook and then when you added the next chain you counted it as 1. Wouldn't it be the second chain? 2. If you have an even number of chains and start on a DC, wouldn't the last stitch be a single crochet? These are probably silly questions but I'm teaching myself how to crochet :)
#1. Do not count the slip know as a chain. You have to yarn over and pull the hook/ yarn through and that’s chain 1. The yarn on the hook (slip knot) is only acting like a bobbin when you see. It’s not a chain or a stitch. Hope that makes sense. If not let me know. I will try to explain it better. #2. Of you are DC stitch then last stitch is DC. Then you turn your work and do chain 2 for turning chain, then start your next row. I have several videos about both. Let me know if you don’t understand how I am explaining.
@ thanks for responding. In reference to #1, when you do your first row then do you ignore that slip knot/bobbin loop? #2, could you help me locate the links to the videos? Would really appreciate that!
Yes, do not count the slip knot on your hook as a chain. Go to my playlist and see the one that is Beginner Crochet and there are several that will help you. Foundation chain and single crochet
Can you help me out with how to read a gauge. The directions say to crochet 24 stitches and 22 rows = 4 inches. What does this mean? Does that mean I should have a 4 inch square?
Question first before I answer - what are you making exactly? Is it important to keep the project you are making at a specific size (example: for a sweater, shirt, clothing item)?
Then your gauge is important to make sure it crochets up to the size you are wanting for perfect fit based on pattern. When you use the gauge it’s telling you how many stitches are needed in the 4 X 4 inch square. The gauge you referenced means 24 stitches in the row with 22 rows should meet that measurement. You need to make a swatch with crochet hook it suggests and make sure that is the measurement. If not you may need to adjust tension and crochet hook size or even the yarn weight. You may need to experiment making several swatches to achieve the gauge they are telling you is needed for the pattern. Does that make sense?
@@jodismith5095 I have been using it for dishcloths, baby hats and little Christmas ornaments. I love how it works up and feels!!! Like a satin cotton almost.
That hook is bigger than a g6mm ate you using a hook not made in the usa i have looked thru all of mine and not one of my g hooks come close to the size needed im baffled are you using a j hook not a g hook
That is the prettiest cloth I’ve ever seen great tutorial
I’m so glad you liked it! The yarn is my favorite cotton yarn. Great texture to it as well.

Hi ! I find that this yarn does not dry. Is it because I crochet too tight?(Sorry for my english, i’m french !) Thank you 😊
Did you put it in the dryer? Or just wash it and lay it out to dry?
How many rows are before or after the stripes?

@@TheCraftyYarnBarn yes it does. Thank you!
Just uploaded a new dishcloth tutorial today. Hope you tune in and watch it.
Is this a new yarn on the market?
No, it’s been available since 2015 or 2016 from what I recall from reading about it. I have just recently discovered it and love it.
Not sure where else but I get it from jo-ann's

It’s my favorite cotton yarn. Once I tried it, I don’t like using any other yarn for wash clothes.
That hook is bigger than a g6mm ate you using a hook not made in the usa i have looked thru all of mine and not one of my g hooks come close to the size needed im baffled are you using a j hook not a g hook
I believe she’s using a 4 mm hook, G/6 USA that’s what I’ve been using anyway 😊
The hook is G-6 / 4mm hook.
