[@kaitlynmiller6676]

the name is much more self explanatory than i thought 😭😭

[@cinnamongirl2187]

same i was so confused at first😭

[@jag8789]

my favorite stitch, no holes in it and it has a nice ripple texture , makes excellent afghans and i even made a blanket with it

[@Rohca_Therian.n_]

Thank you very much, the tutorial is clear even with subtitles! All the best to you 🌹😘

[@LetsAllCrochet]

Very clear instructions 👍

[@maggiem.5904]

Thank you - I wanted to make sure I understood which loop is considered the “back loop” in HDC ribbing. You made that very clear! Just one question - it looked to me when you started the first row, you skipped 3 chains, not two - there is a small tightened chain next to the one on the hook that you didn’t count. I have seen this in some other videos as well. Don’t you count the first chain next to the one on the hook?

[@favourgracefavourgrace9442]

Easy to follow...learnt in two minutes... amazing

[@Rohca_Therian.n_]

I have exactly the same!

[@moss752]

Like the clear instructions I just wish I saw the movements a little slower cuz that's what's getting me confused

[@shreyasi261]

Thank you for this

[@janicemacdougall1844]

Thank you so much for your clear instructions and video. 😊. If it calls for 2 hdc in the back loop of a stitch do I assume you would just do this twice in that stitch? Thank you for your help. 😊

[@deboraalexis4016]

Very nice video!

[@amandap7996]

Thankyou for lovely instructions. Will be making a blanket.

[@rhiannasuarez24]

how's it going with the blanket?

[@jag8789]

this is the way that I make an afghan, it is gently stretchy up and down very comfortable

[@Mariaponce-nu3or]

Me facina!! Facilita.

[@vella8650]

Do you still add one extra chain at the end, as in regular half double crochet?

[@jasminenystrom9074]

Excellent tutorial thanks. Can you please tell me the size hook you used? And the yarn weight? Thank you so much

[@melodymaben5365]

Are you doing your bl in the same stitch of 2 chains to turn ?

[@sirvartartinian5944]

So if I need to chain eleven, should I add two more so that I can skip them ?

[@sofia-si3tk]

i think so: for the cardigan i’m making, each patch is 22 chains by 18 rows but since i’m doing a half double crochet, i really end up doing 24 chains and then i skip 2, so the 2 i skipped are just considered the turning chain so overall its still 22 chains

[@darrellwalsh114]

Hi hun can I do this from front off my crochet blank pls n thk u u r a great teacher I’m a beginner but love to learn thks so much

[@darrellwalsh114]

I’m trying to do a baby blanket

[@Mannuuu108]

HELPPP! When you start with the back loop do you skip first 2 stiches like you did the first row?

[@ginafrechette8184]

I am making a blanket with that stitch and Lion Brand Homespun yarn. How do I add a simple border to that?

[@erorr7198]

What size hook are you using? 🙂

[@lorelai2795]

does it matter what thickness of hook u use? cuz im so confused with the difference in sizes

[@Gogowafflemaker88]

It will tell you what hook size is most suited for any yarn you buy on the label paper. :) just remember, the bigger the hook the bigger the stitches / project and the smaller the hook the smaller the stitches/project.

[@user-ob3ej4rp6f]

@@Gogowafflemaker88 thank u

[@noonecares6592]

I’m dumb apparently everyone gets it and here I am still lost lol 😂

[@purple-ch8xs]

For some reason there keeps appearing holes in my edges even though i do everything right?

[@luvastandardbred8270]

What size hook?

[@vanillakitten1210]

where is the third loop? i can only see 2

[@trancathy28]

What is the hook size?

[@mariasalinas8218]

[@oliviahoward4761]

Do we skip the first two chains every row or just in the beggir

[@oliviahoward4761]

Beginning *

[@alouriia8825]

Every row I believe

[@mollygassor3055]

I don’t think you skip two chains each but you do chain two at the end of each row

[@qistina2585]

just the beginning

[@jacquelinereig6161]

just the beginning, pretty sure. they skip two chains in the beginning only, and for the rest of the rows they *add* two chains instead, so no need to skip anything after the first row for this pattern. its to make it taller, i think? i hope it helps !

Que hace la chica? No logro ver .

[@danielalozano2030]

Repite lo que ya hizo en todas las cadenas un HDC (half double crochet), que muestra cómo hacer en 1:37

[@woodzallrounder6067]

Can you do it slowly 😔 I can’t keep up with how you twist and pull the yarn

[@emmottbot1645]

put the video playback in 0.75x or 0.5x speed!

[@zer0chan_420]

i forgot that you skip *2* stitches in hdc...

[@atiliaqistina1503]
