This is great! I knew there had to be an easier way than fumbling with 2 needles! Thank you so much for a great tutorial!

@eviejacobson6950 2 жыл бұрын

Yes it is great but can only be done in strips...rather than a larger piece which can only be done with two needles or circular needles. Obviously strips will have to be sewn together later for a larger finished piece.

I learned to knit finally after years of thinking it was harder than crochet. No so. Knitting is way easier! The only thing harder is how to fix mistakes. So much easier in crochet to fix mistakes. But give it a try. It really is easier.

No extra fluff, straightforward, good camera work, good speaking voice, clear, concise, easy to follow, good explanations, etc. You would think videos like this would be easy to find and make but you have a gift as I've seen so many videos that leave me lost/bored/confused.

@kerrywargo4693 3 жыл бұрын

You are an excellent teacher! Thank you for taking the time to concisely explain the details. For example, keeping count of your loops, turnin over your work to use the "bumps" rather than the "Vees", inserting your hook between the front and back vertical bars, and on the last stitch inserting your hook behind both bars. I'm very impressed, and as a beginner, I will be coming back to your tutorials often. Thanks again!

@moonlitopal600 3 жыл бұрын

This is soooo helpful. You show things so well and I LOVE how you showed me the difference between the front and back bars with a needle so it’s easy to see where to go! It’s those small things that make videos so much easier to watch. SUBSCRIBED.

You're a great teacher! This was so clear and easy to understand. I don't really like how the crochet stitch looks per se, but I love the movement in my hands of doing Tunisian crocheting, and so it's such a bonus to end up with a stitch that looks like knitting!!!! Thank you so much.

My first experience with this stitch was some years back. I made a baby sweater for a friend. It was a hit. I love the way it looked like knit. I used a hook that was quite small and the fabric was tight and dense. Perfect for snow season :)

@jvallas 11 ай бұрын

I'm a knitter much more than a crocheter, and while I was trying to get it firmly in my head which part of the stitch to put the hook in while pulling up loops, it dawned on me that's exactly the same as a knit stitch that you're inserting into. You're almost knitting with a crochet hook for that portion of the stitch pattern. I guess that's why your Bestie Scarf (which I really like) reminds me so much of a Fisherman's Knit Stitch pattern. Anyway, this tutorial is very thorough and easy to follow. Thanks.

I normally crochet but I wanted to give tunisian crochet a try. I figured I would try this first to see what I think. It was fun and my hands don't hurt like regular crochet has. So thank you for posting this. My question comes from using the same yarn and hook size but when I try simple stitch, it was the same width but it came out longer even though it was exactly the same number as the knit stitch. Has anyone else had this problem? I really want to try to make the afghan sampler but worry I will mess it up before I really begin. Thank you for anyone who reads this and answers!

@alexandraentner7196 10 ай бұрын

This was the best tutorial I've ever seen for the sole fact that you counted all your stitches as you went in the beginning of the video and the use of the needle to point to specific areas was amazing. I don't know why everyone doesn't do this but rock on. Thank you.
