THANK YOU FOR TAKING ABOUT THE TURNING CHAIN. I’ve watched so many beginner videos and I feel like this is never emphasize. The sides on my squares were always messed up. This is the best explanation video yet. I really appreciate it!

You are so welcome, I'm glad it helped!
Drops the loop at 6:29, without skipping a beat says "let's do that again" and does it again, no muss no fuss. That's the mark of an unflappable instructor. Thanks so much!

Ikr! It was amazing! No diddle-dallying! It’s so clear and not wordy, only saying what she needs to say!
as a beginner, I found it valuable to distinguish between stitches and spaces. I have a good grasp on the stitch types. I appreciate the clarity on the placement types for where stitches can go. Thank you!
I have been crocheting very basically for many years childhood. I’m almost 60 years old. Now that I am retired ,I am enjoying “ learning “ all the new stitches and what the abbreviations mean. I’m a new subscriber and want to say thank you for this awesome tutorial.
Fantastic instruction! Super clear and excellent speaking. Clear and concise! Thank you.

I am a complete beginner to crochet, had my first lesson at a friend's and we didn't cover this stitch. Your tutorial is the best I've seen of several videos, thank you so much! Very clear, concise and easy to follow. :)
What a good idea!Showing the stitch swatches was really helpful.
You have such a pleasant and calming voice. I tend to get really frustrated and impatient learning new stitches and i need a calm teacher. The last woman i watched went so fast and had a very stern and deeper voice and i ended up wanting to throw my phone lol thank you for this video and channel ☺️💕
I love you tube for this reason. I am a visual learner and this helps a lot when starting out in crochet. Patterns are Greek to me but now that I have some basic stitches they a little easier to read.
I am so happy that you have put subtitles as well in all your videos. It makes learning so much more enjoyable. Thank you.
@Jennifer- Thanks for giving complete instructions for HDC & more importantly, how to make the transition to the next row. • I haven't crocheted in a really long time. And, just went blank. So, this is a great refresher for me, lol. Thank God for KZread, I don't have to ask anyone & look like a fool, lol.
Thank you for explaining the turning chain stitches. I've watched so many tutorials and I couldn't understand why some used first and some used second stitch ❤
Love the way you explain things. I’ve learned more from this video than all the other ones I’ve watched
Very easy to understand! Thank you so much. You are a good teacher.
I did it! First granny square I’ve ever accomplished. You are amazing and I am so thankful for this video
Thank for this very helpful tutorial. I liked how you zoomed in on the stitches, so I could see exactly where to insert my needle. You went through how to make the stitch slowly. The perfect tutorial!! This is invaluable for a beginner like myself!
Thank you so much! I am about half way thru with my first blanket. I always get spooked with the turn around chain but after awhile it's easy.
Thank you for making this very simple to understand. I feel like a lot of videos just go through it without really explaining it all verbally and those of us who are just learning or don't know how to read patterns are left floundering.
Thank you! This was the only video I needed to learn the half double crochet stitch, very clear & concise instruction.
Thank you for going so slow! Sure easy when you can see and hear instructions!!
You are amazing! I have been crocheting for a long time and I learned a lot today. Thank you!
Your instructions are so clear and i love that you repeat every step, makes it very easy to follow!
Loved your video! Your speech is clear and to the point. Your demonstration is easy to see and understand. Thank you!
Thank you for helping my dusty needles get busy making a hat!
Your videos are really great, especially for beginners! I don't know how many "beginner" videos I watched where these women have a whole damn blanket trying to teach me a stitch....I'm not starting with a blanket, I'm starting with nothing lol This was very helpful. Thank you!!
Thank you so much. I love your tutorial it was clear and easy to understand. Thank you.
This video is great for beginners and explains more than just the stitch, does s good gob of explaining how to use it in patterns. Will be watching more videos from this channel as I continue to learn!
This was such a simple tutorial to follow. You’re a great teacher!

Omg this video saved my life 😭😹 I was so frustrated trying to learn this stitch 🥹 Your teaching is awesome!!
Thank you for a clear explanation of the stitch & reminding us if we are following a pattern it might be a bit different!
Thank you. I thought I remembered this correctly. It was a very good reminder. You are very good a showing every step in detail
Thank you for the information regarding the turninto chain and putting needle in stitch or space. Thanks again!
You are the best! I love how precise and slowly you explain all of the steps.
Best video on how to do this stitch. THANK YOU!
This was an amazing tutorial, easy to see what you are doing, easy instructions, definitely going to use this channel for tutorials in the future
THANK YOU all the tutorials I watched go WAY too fast, also, they make it look really difficult! So thank you so much for this!
You are such a nice kind crochet teacher 😊 I’m going to be starting to learn crochet in September
You are fantastic in your tutorial. You are concise and you don't speed through. Thank you! I subscribed 😊
I absolutely love your videos and tutorials! Great job!
You’re a WONDERFUL teacher! Thank you so much for this!! Subscribed!
Finally, I'm no longer intimidated! Thank you🙂
I'd never even heard of a half double crochet!! Thank you. Very clear
Thanks for the simple and clear beginner instructions.
You made that so easy to understand. Especially on the turning chain. I just downloaded a hat pattern that I need to follow which has the hdc st and was slightly freaked until your video.
Wow, how simple this was as compared to the written instructions in the pattern I am using to make an afghan.
I love this! Thanks for teaching me how to crochet! lol
thank you so much this is the first explanation i’ve been able to follow!
Thanks for this !!! I was totally confused in which chain to insert the hook next.
Your videos are so helpful! I love the way you explain things! Thanks so much!
everything is very accessible and understandable , thank you for this fine master class!!! 😉
It is so nice to have such a pleasant voice, and a very good tutorial. No wasted talk. Thank you.
great video. so patient! and relaxing to watch. Most of the videos are frustrating to watch. Nice job!
Thank you for such a beautiful and helping me and many other videos!
Like the way you have the 3 samples so we’ll understand what a difference a stitch can really make in a finished piece.
Fantastic instructions. Thank you. Just subscribed. Cheers, from Country Victoria. Australia. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Thanks- really clear and helpful! :)
Thanks for showing me the difference between the stitches and the spaces
Thank you so much! You really took time and this was easy to understand. :)
Thank you. Very easy to understand
Thanks for this. You said to do two (2) chains to start the next row but then said "when we chained 3." The hard part is knowing exactly where to start the LAST stitch.
Thanks for helping me learn this stitch!
thanks for all the extra detail really helps alot!!!😊
Great demonstration, thanks .
YESSS FINALLY A VIDEO THAT ACTUALLY HELPS 😌😌😌😌😌
I love your videos! you speak clearly and go slow! thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for this video!! Well explained!! This helped me so much ❤️❤️❤️
You make it very easy to understand. I didn't know the difference between a stitch versus a space. If you dont know the basics you cant crochet. Thanks for the clarity.

Ive watched tons and you're the only one who has broke it down.
Which way gets the straightest edge if you are using bulky yarn?
Wow 3 minutes in to find the info I was looking for.
Very helpful!! I can finish my pattern now thank you!
This stitch is so hard!!
You're a great teacher
hi! so it's always taught that for the first row we have to go to the chain 3 from the hook to start.But then after that you mentioned the "same pattern", does it count for the second row whether we want to start from the chain 2 or 3 etc? thanks!
In everything I've learned a treble crochet is the name for a double crochet in the UK. I've never heard it used for a triple. It's a little confusing
Clear and easy tutorial thank you 👍😺
THANK YOU FOR THIS HELPFUL VIDEO!🙏🏻😀😀
Thank God for your existence💗👄💗
I love your tutorials !!!
Great video 👍👍 refreshed my memory
great tutorial and helps me make my frog hats!
Super easy to follow tutorial. Thank you for going slow and describing the difference between stitch and space. One question regarding the single crochet. After the single chain, you went into the third stitch. Why not the first? Is this done only on the first row or should I continue that each time I start a new row.
Bro, I just made a pillow that was supposed to be all in half double crochet and I just realized that I did it in single crochet... no wonder it's so small....

Thanks a million for explaining The turning chain🤗😜👍👍👍I was so confused, I got it💐🌻🌺🌷🌼🌸🌹
Hello! Where can I find the rest of the videos for this pattern. I love it btw!
very helpful, mastered it within minutes!
I'm a knitter, but there's this specific hat I want and the pattern is for crochet so I'm teaching myself how..... do you insert on the 3rd chain everytime? 🥲

Nope! Only on first row!
Thank you so much ❤️
You are the best
Good instructions, really clear, but jump at least 2 1/2 mins in to get to the actual instruction
Question. When you start stitching into the chain, you hook through half of each “link” to start the stitch. When you moved to the second row, you hooked through the underside of the whole link rather than through the middle of it, correct? I just did several rows only hooking through the middle of the stitches and I don’t think it’s right. I guess I’ll keep doing it the way I’ve been doing it since I already messed it up but could you just clarify where exactly you are hooking on/in to each stitch? Beginner here so please forgive me if I don’t have the lingo down. Thanks!
