This is the only creator that I was able to learn from!! Your videos are still very loved💚💚💚

I am learning to crochet am at complete beginner stage and I have watched dozens and dozens of instruction tutorials on here and would like to say to anybody starting for the first time that this is the most clear, easy to follow tutorial of all of them. The lady has taken the time to make sure she works slowly enough for those of us who dont just want to copy what she is doing,but also to understand the sequence of steps and what they mean for us. Anybody can copy something but with this you understand the process too. I am so grateful to this lady for her wonderful efforts, some others forgot to say if you had to yarn over hook sometimes and it confused me. Excellent ,many thanks ,the slowness allows me to write down each set of instructions as I am doing a baby bootie pattern on my lap top and cant keep changing back and forth looking for stitch how to's for the different stitches, so I have written each stitch on a seperate piece of paper for reference.

I'm a crochet beginner and I just wanted to thank you for your series of beginner lessons. They are easy to understand, your voice is soothing and not hurried, you take it slow, so we aren't lost before we get the stitches done and you seem to really enjoy helping all us beginners. I've followed your entire series and still revert back to lessons I may have forgotten or just simply need a refresher course on. Thanks again!

Your tutorials are so clear, Bobbie. I keep coming back to them as I need to, whether to learn new stitches or refresh my memory on 'old' ones. Thank you so much!

crochet guru is amazing!

Hi Manda... with the basic stitches you learn in crochet the height of the stitch is pretty much the main concern. So you are basically correct with what you said, but what is more important is that you understand the order of stitch height. So the slip stitch is first, then the single crochet, then the half double crochet, then double crochet and etc. So each stitch will create a different height!! Thanks for your post!

I found the video super helpful - I am practicing it now. I would love to use it with sheet yarn, which is why I am doing "experimental" projects, thank you so much and I have subscribed!

Your videos have been an amazing help!! Thank You!!!!

Thank you for the videos they're extremely helpful! 😊♥️♥️

Love how well you demonstrate. You hit all the areas I was having a little trouble with.

Hi, the thing I'm finding difficult is that the orange wool is too bright against the white background, so it's really hard to follow

This is a wonderful site.Helped me so much

Thank you so much! You really clearly explain it so well, I appreciate that. I’m using this stitch to learn another pattern, for a Ravenclaw scarf I’m going to attempt as a Christmas gift for my partner. Thanks again! ❤😊

Never mind! I was skipping a step. I just had to watch the video a few more times to see my mistake. Thanks again for the videos. They have been such a great help to me as a beginner!!!

Thank you! I have a beautiful project coming out from this lesson and you truly blessed me! p.s. your contrasting needle and yarn color work well together.

Thank you for lessons ...

I like the videos. They really help me but the orange yarn against a white background is really hard to see! Consider changing it!

Thanks a lot for this great tutorial. I'm trying to crochet a Kingston Hat & it requires me to crochet a half double crochet. However, in the past I'm only used to crocheting a double crochet for blankets. I like the orange yarn you chose cause it's bright and bold on the screen & I can easily see how you're crocheting. Also, you teach it at a slower pace. You're a fantastic teacher!!

Hi Cat, I am using an aluminum Boye USA hook. I hope that helps.

Thank you for not having overly long distracting fingernails. Yours are neat, pretty and well groomed but do not interfere with seeing your stitches

It is standard to place your hook into the 3rd chain on a half double crochet. This is also due to the height difference of each stitch. So basically in a single crochet chain you would place your hook into the 2nd chain from the hook because when you begin your second row the chain will meet the height of the next single crochet row. That is also why we chain after each row as well because that chain will meet the height of the next row!

I know you haven't made videos in so long, but you are such a good teacher and I would love for you to redo this video, since it is a little out of focus. :)

I find it hard to see with the bright colored yarn

This video is really easy to follow, great instructions and helps absolute beginners like me, but it was really hard to see thr stiches with the bright yarn and needle.

2:18 I am a little confused. You said not to do the first hdc in the first stitch but then it seams to me you are actually doing it in the first stitch. Can you help me to understand this? Thanks!!!

Saw that too. Might've been a mistake from talking and showing at the same time?

Hello, could you do an update, or do you have an update of this video that has the green yarn? The orange yarn makes it difficult to see the stitches.

After the first half double crochet are you yarning over and inserting in the 3rd chain from the hook again?

Great, thanks! I am using a susan bates, my work looks messy. Is it just a practice thing?

If i were adding a color into the half double crochet stitch would i just pull it on through the three loops since theres no point of two loops?

just came from your double stitch video. and I'm confused if when you're going through the chain are there 1 or two loops you're passing through or just one on this stitch? 1:11 here...

Love your videos. So I'm going to try to explain the problem I'm having. :) I've made my chain and started the next row. But as I'm going, I get stuck on the three loops on my hook. I can get the yarn through the first loop, but I can't get it through the second loop easily. It seems too tight, but the first and third loops aren't too tight. Does this make sense? Is my problem too tight yarn or something else? Will I just need to keep practicing am I doing something wrong? Help if you can!

Do you have to chain two on every row

Hi Kira...go and check out my how to change color tutorial. In that tutorial I demonstrate how to change color with the single crochet but it will be the same for all of the crochet stitches.

Hi! I'm just wondering how to change colour for each new double crochet? Thanks

can you tell me what brand of hook you use? it looks more rounded than mine, i wonder if it is easier to work with? thanks

With a new row you can start the stitch at the first chain because when you chain 2 to start those are included with that first chain in the row to make 3? I hope that made sense lol But also when you first start you count to the 3rd chain to start the hdx but after that you use the first chain next to the stitch?

@CrochetGuru

Hi... yes when you chain 2 that is considered your first stitch so just place your next hdc into the next stitch!

I can never get my hook to go through the loops so smoothly in fact it’s so bad that I have to use my other hand to pull it over the hook. I made the chains a little looser but it always make it fall out completely. What do I do,

Twenchi Denoe I recommend you to start with a thicker hook. That used to happen to me but now I have a thick hook and I can crochet with no problems cx

I think a different color yarn would make it easier to see the stitches easier.

Does this video exist somewhere where the green yarn is used? I can’t see the detail in the orange. Too hard on the eyes! :(

Hmm, weird. I pots this question before and it seems it got deleted. I was saying that in the second row even though you say not to place the hdc in the fists stitch (2:07) it seems to me you are actually placing it in the first stitch (2:18). Can you help me to understand this? Thanks!!!

+Taimy Bringas This is also what I want to know. It looks like she points to the stitch that you should never start on, then the video jumps, and she then puts the hook right where she said not to put it. In this case, what does "first stitch" mean?

+Suzanne Nixon according to me, (as she explains it) you just have to make sure you don't start in one of your chains and she names the chains; stitch one

my work are curling i cant make a straight crochet how can i avoid that

Why start at the 3rd chain ? why not the 2nd chain ? Is this standard for HDC ? Thank you May

I just crocheted a lot of rows in the wrong stich 🥲

Hard to see exactly what you’re doing because of the orange yarn, but I just went by what you were saying.

How do I do a double stitch on only one stitch

My TLE teacher summoned me here

Start at 0:27

clear instructions, but it's hard to see the neon colored yarn

So, every single stitch, you skip three? Or is it just the first stitch? Both look really awkward

Kayo ba yung nasa teach me?

Can you go from a double crochet to a half double crochet in the next row?

@cassiesevigny

Yes! You can switch up these simple stitches between rows however you like! (It's the clusters and more complicated stitches that need precise numbers of stitches per row that get tricky to mix n match.)

Why on 3rd chain?

Every time i chain 2 and then put the next stitch in the third chain, it leaves a big gaping hole, why do i have to do this? Am i doing it wrong? Please please answer this, it is te bane of my existence right now.

Hi Kendra, I am a little confused. It sounds like you are placing the stitch into the chain as you are moving up rows. Try going to my website and looki at my written instructions with photos and see if that helps you . Go here:www.crochetguru.com/double-crochet-stitch.html If you still get stuck let me know which part confuses you. Thanks for your question
