Your videos and view from the camera have literally taught me how to crochet. I bought a book to teach myself; however, I couldn't get it correct to save my life. I then tried KZread and came across you! Thank you so much for your great videos. They're perfect. You talk the perfect amount of time, have the perfect view for me to see the stitches, and are so good at explaining and being able to show the stitches vs. going to fast or being behind your fingers where I can't really tell. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Keep up the good work!!!

thank you so much for your excellent instruction. You speak slowly, have slow deliberate hand movements which are easy to follow, and explanations that include the reasoning behind the stitches or in this case the chains. The contrasting yarn and hook colors as well as your simple nail color and length were wonderful , not at all distracting. SO clear, so well done. a million thanks.

Seriously! I learned years ago thru a book I didn’t quite get. Then when I watched your video, I finally see how to insert the hook correctly! The book never said to insert thru one of the strands (in first row) and then thru 2 of the strands (in the 2nd row)! Oh my!! Thanks for clarifying this!! 😃

I'm just getting back into crochet after almost 10 years of not practicing and this has been the smoothest, easiest tutorial I have ever watched, even compared to the videos I watched when I first started!

Thank you SO much for such an easy and eye pleasing illustration! I think I’ll do fine on my project now. (I may re-visit this one, but plan to look at more of your videos)

I have been crocheting for about a month now and was having the worst time figuring out what I was doing wrong in everything that required a double crochet so I decided to backtrack and learn this stitch all by itself. I tried a few other videos that weren’t very clear and then I stumbled upon yours. Not only did I figure out what I was doing wrong but you cleared up another question. Now I have confidence with myself and am excited to dive into and finish some real projects. Thank you so much for going slowly and for making each little movement made easy to see. You rock.

OH MY GOSH! I can't even believe how much I've been messing up. I wondered why things have been looking so weird. It's been WORKING, but so weirdly. And I don't know WHAT I've been doing that I THOUGHT was a dc/ds, but it is NOT what you just demonstrated, NOR has it been producing what I remembered doing so many years ago. Thank you so very much. I have to REPROGRAM this brain now to do it correctly. I am very grateful for having caught this video before digging through any others. :D In fact, I just chose to remove an entire row of what *I* WAS doing so I can redo it correctly. Yeh, I'm not about to take apart the entire blanket. I don't undo rows for ANYthing - that's a lot of work. But for THIS, I am actually doing it. :P

Thank you so very much! I never knew learning to crochet could be so easy.

You my dear have changed that, you break it down in such a way for anyone to be capable of picking up crocheting. Thank You! I will be watching all of your materials.

Same as Brittany I too learned how to crochet AND knit off of KZread. Your videos are a tremendous help. The camera angles really show the spots that need to be seen that no other videos show. Thank you.

Never could figure out how to double crochet until now! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

I appreciate you taking time to do this video for us. Have a great day and I am going to get started on this pattern now and use it to make a small pillow case just for show.

You are the sweetest! I have watched countless tutorials and your's finally taught me exactly what to do. Within seconds I was confidently doing a double crochet!

I've been trying to learn this for ages and finally got it. Feeling accomplished! Thanks!

Thank you sooo much for this video! I've crocheted on and off for years, always self-taught. This is the first thing I've seen that explains where to place your stitch when working on the second row (specifically where you show that there should be 4 loops on your hook for dc). I've been doing it wrong the whole time! Thank you again!

thanks for this. i am barely learning how to crotcheting. i have got singular crotcheting done and now im trying to learn double crochet and watching your video has helped :))

Thank You so much! I have spent at least twelve hours trying to figure this out using a book.....big mistake! Your video helped tremendously! I have a problem counting my stitches....it gets confusing on where stitch starts and ends. I keep dropping stitches and my practice swatches get narrow as I do more rows.

Okay I hope I explain this in a way that makes sense. When you chain 3 in the double crochet to start the next row you are creating a turning chain. The turning chain brings your yarn and hook up to the same level as your next stitch and all of this stitches that follow. So in each stitch the turning chain is different because each stitch is a different height. I hope that helps!

No problem and thank you for your kind words and your post!!

Perfect go to video for both beginners and experienced crocheters who just need a quick refresher. Thank you very much!

Thank you so very much for this video!!! I've been doing pretty good but I've been struggling with just a couple things dealing with the double crochet. You have been one of the very first videos to not only explain what you were doing, but you also SHOWED what you were doing, which cleared up my questions. Thank you so very much, and wonderful video!!

I have wanted to learn to crochet for years and have tried before but was always confused - your tutorials are AMAZING!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! I started on Saturday and have successfully made 2 dishcloths with sc and am now trying a dc one. I am "hooked"! HAH! Thanks again

This is the best one on double crochet. It's the turns that get confusing, you explained that very clearly. Thank you.

I’ve noticed with a lot of video patterns, people opt to go into the 2nd ch from hook and include that in their instructions, with double crochets and I notice their work gradually become uneven, I’m thankful for this reminder that they indeed go into the 4th ch

Thank you! I wasn't putting a double crochet into the turning chain so my project was getting smaller and smaller. very straightforward tutorial :)

The best tutorial for crochet I've seen yet! Everyone goes too fast and doesn't teach from the POV of a total beginner.

I'm trying to refresh my 91 year old Oma's memory of crocheting again. She never got far in crocheting years and years ago, but I'm trying to learn myself and read patterns in order to help teach her. Great videos!

Fabulous video, probably the best tutorial I've found on KZread, it's slow and not fast so good thankyou!!

I’m coming back to crochet after many years away from it. I’ve made 2 dishcloths in single crochet and now I want to make a blanket throw using double crochet. I found your tutorial terrific. Thank you

I love this video. I love how you slow it down and turn the yarn so that I can actually see what you're doing. It's oddly hard to find someone who actually does that in a tutorial video, so thank you! I am going to try a double crochet!

You taught me how to crochet !!! THANK YOU!! I am so so glad I found your videos !

I have wanted to learn how to crochet for a while now and I finally got the guts to attempt it with little luck. Your videos have helped me greatly. I am currently working on a baby blanket using single stitch and will be making one using the double as soon as I finish. Thank you so very much for making your videos easy to follow they are more than helpful! please keep it up

This video is SO helpful, and so thorough. I definitely need to practice it, but this video has demystified the double crochet stitch for me. Thank you so much!

I am so glad I found this video. By watching this video I have now learned how to do a dc stitch. I had to slow the video down so I could see exactly what I need to get right. Thank you so much for helping me out.

i must have watched 5 videos trying to figure out single crochet, this one for double was so easy to understand. i wish i had found your single first.

I have watched a lot of crochet videos and yours stands out above the rest! The speed is perfect for someone just learning how to do these stitches. I also appreciate you clearing up the confusion (where to put the stitch and if it is considered a dc) about the beginning and then end of the rows. Again the speed of the video and your stich work is perfect. It was nice not to have keep rewinding to see what to do. Thank you so much 🙂
