I honestly don't know how I thought I could crochet before I met you. I have been crocheting for 59 years and it was just ordinary. Then I found you and my crocheting has improved in leaps and bounds. It's great being able to go over some older vidoes to refresh my memory. You have given me a new enthusiasm for crochet and I will never stop. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Really happy to hear this! Although I'm sure you knew a LOT about crochet also before finding my channel but it's great there have been new things! 💗
My grandma started teaching me to crochet when I was 8 or 9 years old, but she passed away before I turned 10 so she didn't really have time to teach me very much. All I really knew was the chain, slip stitch, single and double crochet and how to weave in my ends. Since I didn't yet have the skills to make a lot of very useful items, hadn't yet learned to read a pattern, had no one else in the family to teach me, and could not figure out from written instructions how to work new stitches like the half double and triple crochet, I lost interest fairly quickly. Then the internet happened, RUclips was invented, and I recently discovered the crochet community. So, here I am, more than 40 years later, spending entire afternoons watching wonderful, generous people like you crochet online, trying my best to imitate what you do, and feeling so proud of myself when I get it right! Sometimes, I feel like I'm 8 years old sitting on the couch with my grandma again. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and knowledge with the rest of us!
Thank you so much for sharing! RUclips certainly changed a lot about all kinds of crafts, making it easy for anyone to teach what they know and anyone to watch! Happy crocheting! 💗
Geez, I’d be happy with the “before” swatch! I’m a beginner,and,have been practicing, practicing, practicing, small swatches,getting better, slowly. I’m not giving up, certainly would welcome a break through in crochet. I appreciate your teaching
Thank you. I've been crocheting for 4 decades and still learning new tips and techniques. Love what it does for ribbing!! I'll be doing that from now on. Thank you for sharing.
I'm 63 and have been knitting and crocheting since I was 7 years old. It was taught at school in Europe where I'm from and my Mom and Auntie helped me too until I mastered both. Still learning something new. Thank you very much for these excellent tips.
Dear Tuula, Thank you for sharing this stitch tutorial. I love all the tips and tricks I learn from you, my crochet is better for it. Take care and stay safe and well. God’s blessings 🧶🙏🏼💗😻🦋🐶
I can't wait to try this out!!! I've been crocheting for nearly 20 years on and off, give or take andI have ALWAYS had a bumpy edge, NOW Hopefully with this technique I won't have to worry about this anymore!!!!
i actually did this instinctually when i first started crochetting, nobody showed me, i had to learn to do chains and turn. i feel affirmed! i do like a neat crochet. :)
That is so true! There is always more that we all can learn. I have been crocheting since the late 1960"s too, and I just learned a new way to achieve a smoother edge. Thanks so much for sharing this gem😍
Thank you very much for your wonderful tips. I crochet since almost 60 years and I never really learned it. Since I watch tutorials on RUclips I learned a lot. 😊❤
This post just came across my feed, and I'm so glad it did! The way you began this post by saying that you weren't going to correct us, but instead you were going to show us a different way to achieve straighter edges. You are sharing your expertise to be helpful in a non-judgmental manner, and I LOVE this. You are a true teacher and instructor - you are here to educate, inspire, and encourage others (my personal mission statement), and I thank you for these helpful tips to becoming a better crocheter.
I am happy that you are doing this Video. This 1st one is how I've been doing mine ends. I never like the whole chain 1 since it doesn't count as a stitch N you don't need it. One day i tried it N like it been doing for a few years now. Am far from an experiences Crocheter. I am glad there's finally a Video so many beginners will see it now. I never saw a Video on where you don't really need to chain 1 at the end of every row. Thanks for sharing this
Thank you so much for this video Tuula!! I’ve been crocheting on and off for a few years and your videos have helped me improve so much! Your videos are so easy to follow and I could honestly listen to you talk all day - you remind me of my Romanian grandmother who initially taught me to crochet!
Thank you! I'm struggling with learning a new craft while being a perfectionist. This helps a lot. My biggest problem still is having straight sides, without adding or missing stitches. I'll keep learning and try not to sweat the small mistakes.
Many people have problems is keeping the same number of stitches in the beginning. But it becomes automatic as you crochet more so just enjoy crocheting, even if you make mistakes! 💗
Greetings from Mumbai India. Thank you for this invaluable tip. Have been crocheting more than 40 years and always hated the sides of scarves/blankets but now i can get a smooth edge thanx to you.
Greetings! I am in my 70's and learning to crochet. I just found you on videos this morning, and in watching just 3 of your videos, I have learned so much! These tips and tricks are the things no one tellsa beginner,, so you are now my "friend sitting next to me" as I learn. Thank you!
I'm wanting to, after many years, get back in to crocheting again. This will help me start with better techniques from the start. Thank you very much! 🤗
@TuulaMaaria thank you for such detailed and thorough step-by-step explanations. Watching & listening to your videos has helped me learn so much! I’ve taken up crochet as a way to remember & honor my Nana & Grandma who were both amazing craftswomen, and you are helping me do work that I think they’d be proud of.💝
Great tip! I’m one of those who’s been crocheting for years and am continually amazed at how much more I can learn. Thanks for sharing. It looks so much neater!😊
I been doing it all my life this way, and didn't know this was the right away, I didn't like the other way because it was easy to loose one stich on the corner when turning, thank you for showing it.
It's the same distance but instead of adding yarn you are adding half the distance by pulling on the previous stitch and half by stretching the next one. 50/50. Genius! Got my sub, sis, can't wait to check out your other work. Thank you so much!
The way you go into that last stitch on ribbing example is same way I learned to end each row on Suzette pattern from bag-o-day crochet. I much prefer that method on Suzette. Hadn’t thought about it on virtually everything else that doesn’t require border. But will be implementing more for sure. Thank you
I've been crocheting since I was a kid, and am overly set in my ways. I have seen this technique elsewhere, but there's just something about how you explain it that makes it click better in my head. Thank you for making your videos and sharing your skills with us ❤
Recently back into crochet. Trying to get through with arthritic hands not fun. I really enjoy your videos! You explain yourself well and are very pleasant to watch. Found you a couple days ago. I was flipping through so many that talk about straight edges and perfect this and that. For a gift maybe you would want perfection. However, for me I like the thought of all the raw edges and all the little imperfections. I have made and given away blankets and things in my 60 years on earth and I will point out some of the oops in my work and hug them and tell them it came from the heart. To me it is a part of my life and my days that I have laying on the back of the couch or my kitties love to snuggle on or that hand sized rose motif crochet blanket that took year and half to finish that you lovingly and whole heartedly gave to your mum. To me the oops is part of it all. Will watch more of your videos Thank you ❤
Thank you, glad you found my channel! Hope you can continue to crochet despite arthritis. Yes we all decide what degree of perfection we go for. So many people want to get new tips even if they don't necessarily start using them that any time I hear of a new one or remember something I have done in the past, I make a video about it! 💗
@TuulaMaaria I love your tips and your accent! I was just thinking how I could apply this one. I just started a set of Lemon stitch placemats n coasters I think the clean edges would refine this for the table and make great gifts too. Thank you, arthritis is debilitating when you are a crocheter. My husband got me some special copper gloves and it helps a lot. Hope others will try them too. I saw your video where you where outside and I thought you might be German but it is Finland? I spent a big part of my life in Germany and around Europe. Do miss it.
I really appreciate the little details that make a big difference, like which way to turn the work. A lot of instructors - and instructions -don’t realize how much difference these little things make. I would not have thought of applying this technique to single crochet ribbing - thanks for that, too. And the tip about when to use it with ribbing, and when not to, just takes things to another level. I am amazed!
Hi, I just found you & subscribed. Amazing difference. I have never ventured beyond scarves or afghans because of my edges. Can't wait to try this out . Thank you!
So simple, yet what a difference! I love learning new things. I was thinking - but sometimes I want those holes for stitching into... and then you pointed it out. Ha! Thanks for sharing.
i started making a hat with ribbing but i was getting frustrated trying to figure out the best way for straight edges. i found your video expecting to just see the normal straight edge method but then you showed the back loop only which is exactly what i needed!! thank you so much!!
I started crocheting about a month ago. I'm about to start doing more advanced pieces. This is a game changer! Your tutorial is very easy to understand and follow along. Thank you auntie!!
I found you this morning after church and want to thank you for your tips to make a smoother edge. Very helpful. I've subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to watching you. Blessings 🎉
Ahhhhh! So much tidier. Love it! Thanks again for sharing this in an easy way to understand. You always are clear and uncluttered in your explanations, which I greatly appreciate.
Somewhere along the line I managed to occasionally 'break' the turning chain rule and could get straight edges, but didn't have it firmly in mind to do consistently. I shared this to a person in a Tapestry group where this is very important for neat work as the BEST VIDEO on the subject and saved it in my browser. THANK YOU🌹
I’m also learning this again I started crocheting when I was 10 years old but I stopped in my teens and now I’m in my late 30s I’ve picked up the joy of crocheting and am loving every bit of it 😊
Great pro tip to do 1 side with the chain 1 and the other without in order to pick up loops. I'll be using that technique on the next beanie I make. Thank you so much 💓
Crocheting for years and I am always dissatisfied with my edges, straight but like in your sample. Getting ready to make some small pumpkins. Definitely will try your suggestions.
Amazing how just the slightest change can create such a different look. Thankyou ! I have been crochets since I was 14 and am now 52 but I was self taught and only had books and had a very difficult time. I wish I could have known you years ago, glad I can learn now better ways ❤to
The ribbing!!!!!!! It looks so finished!!! And how it’s insert not the back loop but still looks wonderful is just!!! Thumbs up a thousand times!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ohhhhhhh! I’ve been crocheting since the late 60’s too! And I never saw this technique! It looks like you took a needle and whip-stitched it on those ends! And so easy! THANK YOU DEAR TUULA!!! 🙏♥️🕊✝️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋♀️😘🕎💜
Hiya Tuula. I tried single crochet using your tip, and it worked out really well. I've been making a scarf, and it looks much better now.... thank you 😊 😊
Depends on what you are making 😊 The chain 1 still is good for many things but not if the edge clearly shows. If you are going to make a border afterwards it is better to chain 1 because then you get the hook through easier.
Thank you ! The gaps in the ribbing drove me crazy… I will do this from now on as crocheting hats is my preferred projects. I make a lot and donate to homeless shelters when I have over 50.
I love this and am going to try it at my next opportunity. I really appreciate how clearly you explain this. Also the nuance of doing it the traditional way when you are joining it.
Game changing! Thank you! Looking forward to going back and learning more of your pro tips. I usually turn first then do the turning chain, so even your before method was different for me. Beautifully explained and clear video 🙏 🫶💫
I love your accent!!! When you say "this here" it reminds me of the way some of my elders talked when I was a child. I'm 64 and learned to crochet at 5 (my mom taught me everything) and I love all your tips! Thanks for all you do for us "hookers!"
What! That’s amazing, that’s such a huge improvement! And you explain it so, so well. Thank you so much! Also, love hearing your accent, brings out a lot of childhood memories ❤

My turns are very hit and miss!! They will now be much better. Hopefully, in future, my ribbing will begin and end with the same number of stitches.
@@Scotty7268 I know what you mean.
@@Scotty7268 Very often I have counted the stitches in ribbing on every row to make sure!
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable tip. Looking forward for more such tips from your end 🥰
Thank you! I’ve been crocheting for almost 30 years and love perfecting my craft. It’s fun learning new tips.
So true, can always learn to do something better!

Stitch markers are a godsend! Specially the safety pin looking ones, it's how I still do it crochet 30+yrs now ❤
Thank you. I've been crocheting for 4 decades and still learning new tips and techniques. Love what it does for ribbing!! I'll be doing that from now on. Thank you for sharing.
Great, thank you! True, there is always something new!
Takes an already beautifully smooth edge. Achieves the impossible, and makes it the most perfect edge ever.

I'm so happy to hear that, thank you! 💗
Such a small adjustment for such a big effect - thanks!
My jaw has dropped to the floor! It’s such a simple change with mind blowing results. I love it!

Brilliant, no chain turn at completed end, chain at contiuning end....brilliant. I can see this improving my garment's look. Thank you.

Great! Depends on the project in hand and even your yarn if it works best this way or with a chain. Neither is wrong!
Aha! I’m starting a sweater with single crochet edges. I’ll try this. :)
Great, do that!
It's the same distance but instead of adding yarn you are adding half the distance by pulling on the previous stitch and half by stretching the next one. 50/50. Genius!

The ribbing!!!!!!! It looks so finished!!! And how it’s insert not the back loop but still looks wonderful is just!!!
Thumbs up a thousand times!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great, glad you like it! 😊💗
Brilliant technique! Thanks for sharing - have a blessed week.
Thank you, you too!
Ohhhhhhh! I’ve been crocheting since the late 60’s too! And I never saw this technique! It looks like you took a needle and whip-stitched it on those ends! And so easy!
THANK YOU DEAR TUULA!!! 🙏♥️🕊✝️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋♀️😘🕎💜
Lovely, thank you! So glad it was useful to you! I also keep learning new things despite having crocheted for decades 😊💗
Thank you. My Cardigans always have holes. Now I know what to do on my next one ❤
Wonderful!
Doctor Tuula, you help us fix everything !!
😁💜
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Happy New Year! 💗
My crochet has improved so much just from this one tip. Thank you!!
Wonderful! 💜
you are soooooooooooo inspiring !!!!! thank you !!!!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for this I knew there was a way to make it neater without chaining
Lovely!
Hiya Tuula. I tried single crochet using your tip, and it worked out really well. I've been making a scarf, and it looks much better now.... thank you 😊 😊
Sounds great! This is especially useful for scarves becauue the edge shows all the time!
So now we are all supposed to unlearn the "chain one turn" 😂 I love this. Thank you ❤
Depends on what you are making 😊 The chain 1 still is good for many things but not if the edge clearly shows. If you are going to make a border afterwards it is better to chain 1 because then you get the hook through easier.
I learned something new today because of your great tips. Thank you very much.
Glad to hear it!
Yay🎉that’s an amazing trick! Gonna use over and over again!
Great! 💜
Thank you ! The gaps in the ribbing drove me crazy… I will do this from now on as crocheting hats is my preferred projects. I make a lot and donate to homeless shelters when I have over 50.
Wonderful! That's a lot of crocheting, 50 hats!!
Thank you for being such a great teacher! My projects have never looked so good.
So glad to hear, thank you! 💜
I love this and am going to try it at my next opportunity. I really appreciate how clearly you explain this. Also the nuance of doing it the traditional way when you are joining it.
Wonderful!
Great tip and explained and demonstrated very well.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!❤❤❤❤ I'm a beginner and the smooth edges trick when ribbing is exactly the answer I've been looking for!!!! I love you 😃💕🌟
Thank you, so glad it was helpful to you! 💗👍
Game changing! Thank you! Looking forward to going back and learning more of your pro tips. I usually turn first then do the turning chain, so even your before method was different for me. Beautifully explained and clear video 🙏 🫶💫
Thank you! I'm trying to think if it makes a difference if you turn before chaining - probably not!
Great tip 👌Thank you ❤
Glad you liked it!
That is how I turn my single crochet projects but I never thought to do it when doing ribbing. Thank You. 😊
Great!
I love your accent!!! When you say "this here" it reminds me of the way some of my elders talked when I was a child. I'm 64 and learned to crochet at 5 (my mom taught me everything) and I love all your tips! Thanks for all you do for us "hookers!"
Thank you! You are probably from an area where there are many Finnish immigrants a couple of generations back 💗
oh thank you! That was the best, clearest, most concisely and simply demonstrated crochet video I have ever seen on youtube! 👏👏👏
Oh wow! Happy to hear that! 💗💗
What! That’s amazing, that’s such a huge improvement! And you explain it so, so well. Thank you so much!
Also, love hearing your accent, brings out a lot of childhood memories ❤
Thank you! Interesting that my accent brings memories - maybe you used to live in an area of many Finns 😊
