I watch alot of tutorials for crochet and yours are by far the best. Your explanations, your voice, and your pictures are by far the clearest and easiest to follow. Thank you so much for all of them.
I love this scarf! I made a grey one for my husband! I wish I had used variegated yarn. I really respect how she showed how to fix a mistake at the end. She is a real pro!
Oh my gosh!! I'm so glad I found your channel. The way you just showed how to cheat at the end if you've got one more stitch than you think you should is life-changing for me! Lol I can't wait to try this one! I'm working on your starfish scarf right now ... First time I've ever understood front and back post! Tytyty!
I really LOVE this stitch!!! I made a scarf AND matching beanie (normal DC for inc rnds, then mesh st for all other rnds) in ONE DAY. It is so quick to work up and so very easy. Definitely one that beginners could pick up easily and make something really pretty. Thank you!!
Thank you for your awesome comment! So glad you like this stitch. It's my "go to" when it comes to warm stitches. You're so right that it works up quick! Looks amazing in variegated yarn too 😊
I tried this stitch and it's my new favorite. Very nice texture without being all holey. I did mine the long way...134 chains to start, because when I did 22 it made too long of one color with the yarn I was using, and it looked like really big stripes. It came out great. Thank you for your expertise. You're a great teacher.
Thanks so much for sharing this pattern. I have been looking for a good pattern for a man's scarf for some pay it forward projects I am working on. Can't wait to get started.
Yes I use Pinterest often, was looking for a stitch with texture for scarves i'm making for my gransons, I decided on the moss stitch, & I did like your video on that. .... didn't realize there were so many versions to the same stitch & yes I agree that the version you use I like the best also
If she has it still. I sell 5 skeins at a time to make it worth the time. I have to go get it from the store and then get to the post office. But it doesn't have to be the same kind of yarn. I do hope to open a shop online next year to sell some of this yarn we get out here in Israel.
Meladora's Creations for Crochet this is a great tutorial ... and like your title says would make a great men's scarf !!! thanks for sharing this easy to follow video thumbs up !!
Thanks for sharing this pattern. It's great for a scarf. And at last, I've found someone who holds their needle n yarn the same way I do. 😉Haha not of great importance but nice to see that.. 👍🏻
Mel...I love that yarn...you must send me some. Cause I can't find it here in Phx, Az....that moth stitch you taught is my favorite stitch still...using it right now to make my dad a man's scarf. But I haven't tried this stitch yet. I Loooooove that yarn...
I love this stitch! Thank you for sharing. I made this scarf out of Lion Brand Heartland for my son. His wife thought it was hers. He told her "No way! That's mine!" She loved it. So I'm having to make one for her to match the hat I made her. lol
This is sUch an amAzing stitch! Thank YoU, for all that you offer! I've learned a Lot from you. Your voice carries so much patience, caring encouragement and I love your calm and gentle and vivid explanations. I have an wOnderful boy who's nAturally stylish and I'm glad I came across this vid; he's going to Love the cowl I'm going to make it with this stitch! Awesome work you offer. mUch Gratitude ;)
Thank you for this tutorial. I have made this mesh scarf and just love it. Im wondering if you could make a tutorial for the V stitch ripple afghan as Ive looked every where and cant find a tutorial for it. And I love your tutorials... Thank you so much
Thanks a bunch for sharing this pattern video!!! Very closed and warm ptrn...i like!! iwonder if it would work for a beanie!! I like the yarn you're using in this and other hats you have made....i wonder if it's something i can get here? what brands are you using? they look so soft/flexible yet not hard and coarse.
This is so beautiful bbut a little to fast . Maybe you could do a quick video where you go slow on the first 2 rows for someone like me that's still learning. Your directions are very good I'm just a visual learner and I found myself struggling a little to fo like a few times. But I've watched other videos of yours and loved how mine turned out after trying. Thanks for sharing
@KathleenPacheco I know my reply is really late and I don't know whether somebody helped you out already, but I think you should be fine as long as you chain an even amount of stitches in the beginning. So to make it wider you just chain 30 or 40 in the beginning. Or any other even amount.
Can you please tell me what color and brand name of this yarn I am in love with it thank u Kim also I learn so much from u thank u so much and also sure would love it if u would teach me how to do the treble crochet afghan square thanks again Kim
Really nice video...seems easy to make it...but m interested to make fringe in this scraf as well as any good outline border that suits with this pattern....plz guide
Jalpa Desai I do explain here on the crocodile stitch poncho pattern if you want to take a look www.meladorascreations.com/crocodile-stitch-shawl-free-crochet-pattern/
I wish when you show how to do the starting chain on your videos, that you would tell what the pattern repeat is so that we could use the stitch pattern for other creations like...a wider infinity scarf or for a scoodie. Is that possible? (example: chains x6, plus whatever the chain up for the start of the next row) Thank you for all of your work. It is inspiring to take the stitches into other projects.
these are done in sets of 2, and you will need 2 stitches for each end, so make your beginning chain an even number then add plus 1 because you will loose a stitch when you work your first stitch. so 2 + 1
I don't know, I'm scared to make a scarf for such a small baby so I never made one. But if you find another pattern that you can go off the size of, and adapt it to this pattern.
Thanks so much Melodora for this amazing looking stitch! I'm having major trouble on the ends though, it never ends right or looks right, like it is too much or too little and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any thoughts?? Thanks!
+blforbes0309 This is the hardest part of the stitch. I recommend if you're finding it hard to find the end stitch that you get yourself some markers. Mark every beginning sc after you do it, then when you reach it again you will know that is your last stitch.
Your tutorial is very detailed and great, but I tried it and found out on the both sides of the ending loops isn't have enough stitches to support the width of the scarf. That is because you only do it using single stitch instead of the double stitches.
When you're at the very beginning of the second row (when start with a single crochet then chain one, then double,chain one, then double) are you crocheting under the two yarn pieces on the top of the last row, or only one?
Hi I had a quick look thru the comments but couldn't see where you advised what the yarn was and the colour as I'd like to use exactly the same as it is beautiful
Is there anyway I could ask you to send me some of that yarn you are using!?? I really like it and my fiancé does too!! He would love a scarf in that yarn color!!! Or the gray!!! Thank you!! Molly Gould
I couldn't find this part in the video so I can't explain exactly what I meant by saying it, but I can tell you it's a stitch that takes 2 stitches to create, yet to get a even edge, you need to have 1 more stitch. So you chain an even number, yet you lose 1 stitch once you create your first stitch giving you that uneven number that you need. I hope this makes since.
The scarf she made during the video was really tiny. Was that like the mini example of the big scarf? like just to understand how the pattern goes? or does the scarf really start out that tiny? I know thats a silly question but I am very new to crocheting.
+PeiJun Yap You can use either method shown in this video at the end of the row, right before you turn and begin your next ruclips.net/video/rt1ArfKQCFA/видео.html
When you insert your hook, are you only going into the FRONT loop only, or are you going into the FULL loop? (I don't mean where you insert and pull up a 2nd loop from the back, but in other places.) It's hard to tell from the video; thanks!
I am getting confused on row 2. How many DC are in the second row? I count 8 in your video but I keep ending up with 9. Im not sure what I am doing wrong. I have started and unraveled this at least 10 times lol. Ive even counted row 1 a million times and I have 21 stitches. Any ideas?
I'm having an issue, and I'm not really sure why. I am not getting a straight side seam. Mine is wavy, kind of like a rippled edging. Any ideas/suggestions? I can post a pic if that would help.
Elizabeth O Are you chaining 1 and single crocheting in the first stitch? Don't double crochet in the first and last stitches. Just ch 1 and sc into the same stitch.
Meladora's Creations for Crochet Yes, I was doing the SC and ch 1 only. I was doing that, then turning, then doing it again. I think that is what was making the ripple. I did that only once, then proceeded with the dc x10 stitches. That is turning out a lot better. I've only done 3 rows that way, but the edges look better so far!
I watch alot of tutorials for crochet and yours are by far the best. Your explanations, your voice, and your pictures are by far the clearest and easiest to follow. Thank you so much for all of them.
I love this scarf! I made a grey one for my husband! I wish I had used variegated yarn. I really respect how she showed how to fix a mistake at the end. She is a real pro!
Great video. I love the way you show detail of where and why to place your hook. It makes it much clearer for a beginner.
Oh my gosh!! I'm so glad I found your channel. The way you just showed how to cheat at the end if you've got one more stitch than you think you should is life-changing for me! Lol I can't wait to try this one! I'm working on your starfish scarf right now ... First time I've ever understood front and back post! Tytyty!
I love it :) I am 51yrs old and have never did crocheting ever, I had so much fun making your scarf. Thank you for sharing.
what a fascinating little stitch! am a spinner/weaver/knitter but trying to brush up on my crochet skills..... this caught my eye
I really LOVE this stitch!!! I made a scarf AND matching beanie (normal DC for inc rnds, then mesh st for all other rnds) in ONE DAY. It is so quick to work up and so very easy. Definitely one that beginners could pick up easily and make something really pretty. Thank you!!

Really nice video...seems easy to make it...but m interested to make fringe in this scraf as well as any good outline border that suits with this pattern....plz guide
Jalpa Desai Fringe is super easy, just go along the bottom. I have added fringe to many things, but maybe I should make a video on it eh?
If u can It will b helpful to people like me....and I am aslo interested to know which type of edging or border will suit with htis scarf pattern?
Jalpa Desai I do explain here on the crocodile stitch poncho pattern if you want to take a look www.meladorascreations.com/crocodile-stitch-shawl-free-crochet-pattern/

great stitch will try it when my brain is working better struggling with a cold
I really love this stitch! for some reason it reminds me of an Easter basket, which is coming up soon, might be making a few of these for Easter
It's very beautiful thank you very much.
I love the look of this with the verigated yarn! Could you please tell me what the stitch count is so I can make it into a throw blanket?
Stitch count is 2 . Put your first DC in the 3rd ch
I don't know, I'm scared to make a scarf for such a small baby so I never made one. But if you find another pattern that you can go off the size of, and adapt it to this pattern.

Going under both loops of the stitch
Katherine Hambrick thank you for asking this... i needed to know the same :)
thank you! my search is over (= i'm crocheting along right now ^^
Thank you very much for this vidio.... i wanna ask something...if i want to make it wider shall i do 44 chain stiches or 43 ??
I love this, can't wait to try. Thank u!!! :)
awesome stitch
Hi I had a quick look thru the comments but couldn't see where you advised what the yarn was and the colour as I'd like to use exactly the same as it is beautiful
As far as I know Alize Yarns no longer make this color, they change every year.
How would this look with a bulky (5 weight) fuzzy yarn?
What brand of yarn and colorway is that? I think that would look really great knit with entrelac :)
Is there anyway I could ask you to send me some of that yarn you are using!?? I really like it and my fiancé does too!! He would love a scarf in that yarn color!!! Or the gray!!! Thank you!! Molly Gould
LOVED THIS VIDEO...THANKS.
I really like the stitch,but I was confused when you started with the counting you said 10,then 12 🤔,thanks
I couldn't find this part in the video so I can't explain exactly what I meant by saying it, but I can tell you it's a stitch that takes 2 stitches to create, yet to get a even edge, you need to have 1 more stitch. So you chain an even number, yet you lose 1 stitch once you create your first stitch giving you that uneven number that you need. I hope this makes since.
I'm wanting to make this wider to make a scoodie with this stitch. is it multiples of 2 + 1?
+Erika Jones no just 2
The scarf she made during the video was really tiny. Was that like the mini example of the big scarf? like just to understand how the pattern goes? or does the scarf really start out that tiny? I know thats a silly question but I am very new to crocheting.
This is is very easy to use, You can make the scarf as wide as you like. The multiples are 2 + 1
how many stiches to make this scarf for a 5 month old
Hi, how do I change into a different yarn color for this pattern? Sorry, I'm still new at this. Thanks
+PeiJun Yap You can use either method shown in this video at the end of the row, right before you turn and begin your next ruclips.net/video/rt1ArfKQCFA/видео.html
When you insert your hook, are you only going into the FRONT loop only, or are you going into the FULL loop? (I don't mean where you insert and pull up a 2nd loop from the back, but in other places.) It's hard to tell from the video; thanks!
+Cindy DeGroot Using both loops
What is the multiple of this stitch I’d like to do it in a lap Afghan
Stitch count is 2 . Put your first DC in the 3rd ch
interesting stitch, i always find it hard to find good stitches suitable for men :D
Shaza Salem :D
Would this drape well if made as an infinity?
+melrose795 If done with a bigger hook where the stitches weren't tight, I bet it would be good for it.
Hey, I was wondering when extending the width, how many chains do I add? group of 2+1?
+Krista Day Make it the width you want, just make sure your final number is an even number.
I am getting confused on row 2. How many DC are in the second row? I count 8 in your video but I keep ending up with 9. Im not sure what I am doing wrong. I have started and unraveled this at least 10 times lol. Ive even counted row 1 a million times and I have 21 stitches. Any ideas?
MrsandMrs gragnaniello I'm not sure, but if it still works and doesn't look weird with 9 stitches then it's fine.
what brand of yarn are you using?
If I wanted to make it wider just add multiple of 2 chains?
+Elva Loves Makeup Yes
How long you take to finish this?
Thanks :D
I'm having an issue, and I'm not really sure why. I am not getting a straight side seam. Mine is wavy, kind of like a rippled edging. Any ideas/suggestions? I can post a pic if that would help.
Elizabeth O Are you chaining 1 and single crocheting in the first stitch? Don't double crochet in the first and last stitches. Just ch 1 and sc into the same stitch.
Meladora's Creations for Crochet Yes, I was doing the SC and ch 1 only. I was doing that, then turning, then doing it again. I think that is what was making the ripple. I did that only once, then proceeded with the dc x10 stitches. That is turning out a lot better. I've only done 3 rows that way, but the edges look better so far!
Does this Mesh Stitch crocheting make for a warm scarf???
Yes
How many skeins did you use to make the scarf?
1 full skein and some of a 2nd skein. Depending on the stitch it may take the whole second skein or part of it. But always get 2 skeins of 100 grams.
mine looks nothing like this,have prominent square holes,im hopeless.
Alize
If I crochet tight would it be better to use a bigger hook? I want it to have a drape feel. Any help is appreciated my fellow commenters!!
I recommend a bigger hook for anything that you want to hang looser.
lovely thanks!!!
Thank you!!
Thank you :)
Thanks 🌹👏💐
No problem :)
Could this be used to make a hat?
Yes ruclips.net/video/KPT6QFSPI38/видео.html
