WOW, I am so impressed by your video. I have been trying to figure out how to do this forever. I see all these photos of people who have made them but they don't bother to help other people. I am severely Adult ADHD, and reading any kind of pattern just doesn't happen for me. I was diagnosed with ADHD in my early 20's. So, I rely entirely on how to videos. Brad, I can't thank you enough for being patient with woman like me. Please tell the woman in the video that she also did an excellent job of teaching for beginners. Thank you again, Star

Thank you so much for your how to video .. this is new to me I know how to sew and I know how to crotchet now I can put the two together which will help me with other projects as well. The lady demonstrating is very easy to follow as she goes at a speed that will help a beginner to learn :)

Great tutorial! This will help me a lot! I must say, when the audio was slowed down the first time it scared the crud out of me. I was not expecting that. XD

@bradhneuman1230 I used two layers and it worked beautifully. I pinned the two layers together and then used the skip-stitch blade around the both fabrics and pressed a little harder on the skip-stitch blade to make sure it perforated both pieces. I also left the pins in place until I finished all the edging.

very clear and concise instructions. Thanks.

2nd angle (over the shoulder) is MUCH better for tutorials! thank you! ;)

I found it real easy, Thanks

Love this tutorial

Yes, the "foundation" stitch makes a very nice edging on it own. I enjoy the simplicity of it.

I couldn't find the skip a stitch blade at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. I did find one by June Tailor but it does holes too close together and it looked like it would not work either by how close the cuts would be when I did go look for it. So I got mad. Came home and made a decision to just get my clear ruler I had just bought, fold my fleece in half (trimming to be sure all sides were straight), and marked off every 1/2 inch and made a chalk line 1/2 inch in all the way around. Used my leather hole maker cutting a hole on the mark intersection, cutting through two layers. Got the job done and evenly in the amount of time I wasted looking for the darn blade. Almost finished with the blanket and it's nice and even all around. Yeah!

thank you, I didn't know how I was going to do it without ruining the material.

This is absolutely brilliant! Now to find that blade!

Size G or H and a regular worsted weight yarn works great. We often use washable decorative and texture yarns for an interesting effect too. Good luck!

Great tutorial

AWESOME! Thank you !

Whatever works for you is great!

@SweetSavor -When using the alternate foundation stitch of two double crochets in each hole, the corners can be made by making three double crochets in the corner stitch. Similar to using the single crochet foundation, 3 stitches in the corner hole should make the turn and allow the material to lay flat. An alternative would be to do 2 double crochets two chains and two more double crochets in the same corner hole.

If 'you' don't want to spend the money on the gadget or can't find one, my suggestion is to use a large yarn needle to make the holes. Might help to use yarn as you do this and do a basting stitch, in order to see the holes.

It is an easy stitch. Simply insert the crochet stitch in the first stitch (last stitch) and pull the loop through and tie off.

What size crochet needle are you using ?

What is the name of the rotary blade you use, I love the idea .. could be possible to used on a doble layer of fleece?? Thank you for your video.

When doing the second round of half double crochet what do you do when you get to the corners?

@Denise46000 it is called a skip stitch blade and can be ordered online

The blade is available at Amazon.

I am struggling to find fleece that doesn't split after I've put the holes in. Am I using a fleece that is too soft?

do you have to do the double crochet? or can you just tie it off after the first round?

Can i do this on the edge of a crochet piece the same way?

I'd like to use this stitch around a child's fleece coat that I am making. The example I saw looks like a blanket stitch sewn by machine. Do you think it is possible to use the slip stitch blade and get a similar effect? Thanks.

nice

no you can definitely tie off after the first round.

i dont have a skip stitch rotary bland and i dont have the time to order one... how far apart would you say each hole is? I was thinking of using an exact o blade

Can this be done on flannel material too? I bought baby sport weight yarn for a receiving blanket. I can't find a tutorial on how to donitnon flannel 😣😣

You can tie off after the first round.

If you wanted to use 2 layers of fleece, would this be too bulky to crochet the edges?

Hi :-) i didn't find cutter. Tell me about cutter brand !

are you using 2 pieces of material or just 1

Google it and you will find the website. Project Linus also sells it. So does Stitches From the Heart on their website.

Also can you show me how you use that blade on a corner

how do you finish the blanket? I did the two rows, but I have no idea how to finish and I've never crocheted before.

I bought one of those cutting thingys and it did not work, i want to know if there is a vidro on i want to atttach a lining under a baby dress(like a slip)

On the second row of using the half double or shell how many stitches per corner. I am making one fleece with the half double edge and another one using the shell. Not sure how to incorporate it in the corners. Please help!

does this technique work if I want to crochet a fleece lining onto a finished crochet blanket? Maybe I can unravel the edging I've done so far and redo it with this method? Any suggestions? thank you

I can't find the rotary tool and skip stitch blade at Michael's or JoAnne's. What brand and where can I find both? Size?? 28 mm or 45 mm?

I really want to crochet around a blanket but i cant find one of those blades :( Where can i get one ?

I want to make my daughter a cranberry wool shawl, 80 x 26"s, with a crocheted border. The wool fabric is soft, not stiff, and I was wondering if the cutter would make holes in the wool. Also, would anyone have a border to recommend that would not look like it belongs on a baby blanket? She is 32 years old. Really appreciate anyone taking the time to reply.

Why do you need to fold the blanket under as you crochet?

I just went to the Internet and typed in: rotary cutter to make holes in fleece Lots of different brands and prices - so check before you buy!

A regular size blade was used for the video

We only use one layer for Project Linus. I am sorry, I do not know whether two layers will work.

size G or H hook. Good luck!

Do we assume that you are crocheting thru both layers of fleece or??

I found mine at JoAnn's ... alas, have all the fabric but have yet to use the cutter. Must be true that I'm a procrastinator.

project linus no longer sells skip stitch blade.

Why does it get bizzarely slow halfway through?

Omg so hard

You can order the Skip Stitch blade from "NancysNotions.com".

@jenjamsam I'm new to this part of Linus. where can I find the "Edge Perfect Blade" ? Appreciate your help. Sacramento,Calif.

This is where I found the skip stitch blade. www.nancysnotions.com/product/edge+perfect+blade.do?sortby=ourPicks&refType=4

Whoever edited this video to make the instructions slow.... Please edit out the sound a redo the scene in slow motion. The chopper noise gives me anxiety because I have sensory intake problems with certain noises and I'm feeling overwhelmed. It's hard to fallow directions like this 😞

Can you show the backside of whatever stitches you make?
