How do you keep the 4 rows of dc you did after making the ribbing from fanning out so much? it makes it look so much bigger but i don’t know what i did wrong

do you think for the top portion I could just keep double crocheting up and then slip stitch and cinch the top together like you how you finish your beanie in your beanie tutorial?

The colors of this yarn is so beautiful. What is the color name/number? Hoping I could get my hands on it!

Beautiful! Just one thing I dont understand... when I have to Connect the 2 top parts to close the work, how can I make the half double crochet ? In whitch hole? Do I have to make chains and then hdc ?

I feel your crying about ripping out mistakes 😂 I'm the very same way..... I thought I was the only one😅. Cute Balaclava ! Thank you !

I wish you had printed instructions for your pattern you do on your stitches that would help me a lot because I don't watch the video continuously when I'm trying to make it but I put the information in my calendar so I could go back to refer it refer to it when I'm making it but I do love your pattern and you're a good teacher and that's a very good idea you were very creative and thank you very much

so when we're doing our rows back and forth for the top piece of the hat, we're only doing the SS plus 2 more SS for the first 2-3 rows and then just one SS per row afterwards? thank you for the amazing videos, currently making mines right now and can't wait to finish it !

Lol no roast let’s bake this perfect cookie she’s so kind and funny thank you

Hi! How many stitches did you put in the ribbing after 5:20?

Hiii what hook size and yarn weight/yarn material did you use?

Tutorial is great, do you have a printed pattern to reference?

Finally a cool tutorial ! not very easy to follow specifically because English is not my native langage, but the pattern is really easy to do. Maybe you can show the importants steps slowly and then do it faster. And zoom in more because, some time its really hard to see. But thank you, this is great and I’m definitely gonna do this for Christmas!

I’ve attempted this about 4 times until I’ve finally given up… if you’re a beginner just a heads up that this video is pretty confusing, but I love how hers turned out!! If anyone has actually managed to complete theirs I’d love some help 🆘😭🤣🤣

@fejeshenriett6004

6 ай бұрын

i think what could be confusing is how she's holding the hook. I don't know if you are like very begginer (this is your first or second project) or like you have done some crocheting but still getting confused, but I would recommend that when she says (or writes) the name of the stitch that she is doing, you can look up a tutorial video always about it, then try it for a few times and after that, pull it out when you get it. I still do this sometimes because my attention span is not always the same (e.g at night) and sometimes it's just how it's shown in the video and I can't really put it together in my head. My other recommendation would be to try a granny square balaclava, as granny squares are usually more beginner friendly and there you just have to make plenty of them and then join it. Hope this helps, don't give it up yet

I’m beginner, this is my third project. I made sure to learn each stitch she mentioned and the terminology by watching different shorter tutorials. I knew all the stitches in advanced luckily from complete beginner tutorials. I looked up things like ‘how to connect yarn’, ‘how to double crochet in post’, ‘how to double crochet in the round’ and prototyped (aka failed a bunch with cheaper yarn to figure out what I kept getting wrong

I also didn’t do the foundation double crochet, but instead just changed the difference and then double crocheted into that which only made it look slightly different

this is definitely one of the better balaclava tutorials out there but can you help me out? how do you do a DC decrease? what does that mean?

@itserinb

2 жыл бұрын

Hi!! There are a ton of videos on DC decrease, but the best way to describe it is - work a regular DC but before you pull through the last two stitches you yarn over and pick up the NEXT stitch, pull through two and pull through three! 💓

Hey, instead of the foundation chain, could you just do a chain and then go round to finish up the balaklava?

I got so lost around 14:00 when you started with the foundation double crochets. Like, how do i do those? Do i just do i siple chain, connect it to the other side and then go in with the fdc?

Hi!! Foundation double crochets are a specific kind of stitch, there are tons of tutorials if you search it! 💓 but you can also just chain across and place DC along it to be easier!

Can you do a video on how to make a hooded turtleneck?

Quick question, when I make the band how to I keep it from decreasing? Like to I make a regular DC at the end? Since there is no post at the end of the turn.

Жыл бұрын

you chain 4; yarn over; go back into the 1st loop you made, as well as the back tiny loop (bump); yarn over and pull through; (you should have 3 loops on hook); yarn over; go through ONE loop (should have 3 still); yarn over; pull through 2 loops (should have 2 loops on hook now); yarn over; pull though both and you have 2 double crochets. To continue making double crochets you repeat the yarn over part but instead your hook goes through the bottom of the last stitch. it'll take some time to figure out what the bottom is (for me it did at least) but you'll get it. Don't be afraid to try it out and unwind until it makes sense to you.

Girl I can’t close the backkkkk helpppoo
