I confused my husband with math and multiples on the cardigan I just did. I was speaking out loud as I was adding, subtracting and dividing and he just looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. It was really funny 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for having a teacher's heart and a creative's passion, Crystal

Chrystal you would be AWESOME at the VINTAGE crochet….your brain would enjoy it. Numbers and multiples..THNK u for all you do. At 66 I love looking at and doing your projects. WE always NEED YOU! Thankful for you.

I’ve never been good at math so, I don’t like “mathing”!! I’m EXTREMELY thankful for podcasters like you that allow me to make a lot of beautiful things from your hard work. Thank you SO much for that!!

Hi Crystal! I learned some basic crochet stitches when I was a kid about 100 years ago.🤣 So when I decided to pick it back up as an adult, I had the wonderful fortune of finding you on here. You’ve taught me so much and have inspired me and given me the confidence I needed to become a pretty good designer and crocheter. Thank you for all you do for this community. 🥰🧶🌈

I just like your teaching, because you make it siund that anybody can do it. You nake plan and simple. So kind and comfortable. Keep teaching girl. We love you. ❤

Hi Crystal, it Kayan. You explain things so well. You are a great crochet teacher. I love all your tutorials. We'll always need you Crystal!!!❤

Oh gosh Crystal I am learning so very much from you. I have so much to learn, but it is so exciting and rewarding. You are so amazing - besides being the greatest teacher who is the most inspirational, you are an "Engineering (Math lover) Crochet Genius" - truly!!! So wise-so creative-so EVERYTHING! I am forever grateful for the "gifts" of you! Blessings, love and light! Enjoy! MInd you I am almost 68 years old (never too old to learn) and have only been crocheting for about 2 1/2 - 3 years. I feel you when you get really upset to read or hear people say they cannot do "this or that"-it looks too complicated. I tell my friends if I can learn , anyone can and looks are deceiving! Again much of my desire or "wanting to" is because of you!!!! Totally Addicted forever!!! 🙂

Oh my 12 skeins of Cashmere. What a birthday gift. That's is a beautiful color too.

I love that you give the multiples. Like you said, then we can take the stitch and make other things and/or make the blanket bigger or smaller. We will always need you!!!🥰 Have a wonderful blessed day/night!🙏🏻🤗💖🌹

I also enjoy knowing multiples because I can take a stitch from a wrap or shawl or blanket and make it into something completely different, which is what I usually do. I'll take a blanket type stitch and measure it to fit me and then make it into a sweater. It's so much fun! Thanks Crystal for giving me the confidence for all of the fun I'm having with crochet!

I've used the multiple of the tipsy blanket/ Afghan to make an Afghan that was smaller than the one that you made on your tutorial. I'm so glad that you love the math because I really don't! Thanks for doing the mental work!

Don't you ever leave us 😅😅😅😅

I've enjoyed the fact that you give multiples for stitches for years. It has given me the ability to do many things I would not have otherwise been able to do. Thank you, Crysta 🧶💚l

Hi Crystal 👋 . Such an amazing legacy you'll be leaving for all to see & learn from... that's a special gift ♡ anymore if someone asks how to make something I refer to your tutorials to them ! As always, you're teaching people who may not understand, the ins and outs of crochet ❤I hope that you know just how amazing you are ! Be well !! 🦋

Thank you for explaining multiples so simply!! I spent an hour watching many videos and boy was I confused!!! YOU ARE MY HERO!!

❤ I absolutely love all your tutorials. I’m 75 years old and have learned so very much from you and your tutorials. Your crochet has made my retired life interesting, I love being creative. Bless you. ❤️😻

I 'm very grateful to get the multiples when needed, because I do like to do things in different sizes. When I started to crochet I didn't have someone like you to explain it and it took me a while to get the concept. Thank you I'm sure this will help many beginners.

I started crocheting 50 years ago and never knew anything about weights of yarn. Yarn other then red heart yarn. Multiples. All I did was Granny Squares and then I got creative and did my doubles long ways without instructions on how to that. When I came across your videos it just clicked. Not saying everything clicks. But I keep hooking and creating new things. Thank you for being special and taking the extra time with us.

I'm grateful for all of your crochet teaching. I come away from each video with something new. 💜🥰

Yes we love to watch (you and your family and fur babies) and listen!

I absolutely love that you give the multiples on your crochet projects. Having that knowledge allows me to create so many things. Thank you so much Crystal. I could have never successfully crocheted my granddaughter a baby dress without your guidance. Have a great day

We will always need you. Besides teaching us about crochet, your yarn videos are great.

I appreciate the way you explain why and how you complete a project. Thank you so much.❤

You're wrong, I for one will always need you to teach. You're the best at teaching!!!!

Since I’m not able to remember the stitch multiple I got a notebook that I will write down the stitch multiple and pattern of stitches so I’ll have them to refer to when I want to crochet a project. I’ve all ready started with a few stitches I’m using in my stitch sampler blanket I’m currently crocheting. Thank you Crystal for all your tutorials and yarn knowledge you share. I really appreciate you. Take care 💜

I love that you give multiples on your videos; I even look or ask for the multiple on other videos I see on YT.

Great explanation. You’re so ‘fleckin’ AWESOME!! P. S. We’ll ALWAYS need you!! 💜🧶😎

The multiple have helped me. I wish every creator provided that. Thank you Crystal.

I , like you, love math. I find it easy to memorize things like phone numbers, ss numbers, things like that. I always did extremely well in math in school. I have understood what you mean by multiples but I'm so happy you explained it for others. I hope you never leave us because I have learned so much from you, but I know eventually you will have had enough, lol. I can read a pattern, I think lol, but I never know exactly where to place some of the stitches, that's why I love your videos. They are so much easier to understand. I love you for everything you do and teach us. Love you Crystal!!!

I never thought of every stitch having a multiple, just each project. Thanks so much for explaining it’s the stitch not the project and how to incorporate it to create! Love you r tutorials so much !!❤🙏🙏

Thank you for explaining the multiples . I wish all designers would do that.

This helps Crystal when a person wants to create there own pattern as well. Much appreciated because I go way back with your videos (2014). ❤

I know the lady was strict in her teaching but thankfully you stuck with her. Her time teaching you created your liveyhood and then you are able to teach a million other people. I am one of them. 🥀🥀🥀🥀 a boquet of flowers to your neighbor.

Hi 👋 Crystal! I have been crocheting since a little girl and YET, you still teach me something that I have not known or even thought to know before. Saying thanks does not seem enough. You are an awesome human! 👌 👏 👍 😍

Hi Crystal, I think I will always need you to help me with crochet. I have learned so much from you. I know that I can and will continue to learn from you. I am so grateful to you and all you do

It’s amazing all the stitches, yarn information etc. you have in your memory. 🤯

Girl..i (we) need you! I learn so much from you. I play you while i drive (not watching it tho) and i have picked on many errors i have made . I enjoy your humor too. You make the craft doable enjoyable and beautiful

I'm a visual learner so I have to watch one of your 1100 tutorials 😚

Thanks Crystal for a very clear understanding of multiples…appreciate all you do!🧶❤️

Thank you Crystal. I appreciate all your tutorials. Your baby dresses are what I found upon search years ago when my granddaughters were born❤

Your explanation of stitch multiples is brilliantly straight forward. I do crochet some of your patterns and have been able to customize a lot to the size I would like because you include the multiples each time. It's so helpful. Not many crochet tutors are as thorough as you are Crystal. Can't wait to see Freddy he's gorgeous. Love from London. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 xxx

Thanks Crystal. You taught me something I did not know and it made it perfectly clear! You are such a blessing to the crochet world! I found you about a year ago and as a fairly new crocheter, you totally inspire me. Please never stop doing what you’re doing, you will be forever needed!

I was THRILLED when I saw the notification pop up right now! Yesterday I thought to myself ' I wonder if Crystal would consider doing a video on the different stitches and how their multiples work 🤔' I'm excited to learn anything as far as that goes. Thank you for this! 🤗🤗

I know most of the stiches but I find it soothing to listen to and watch your videos when crocheting. I have by now lost count of how many Stitch Sampler hat, I love it so so much and so does the people I make them for. My father in law just recieved his this week and he was so happy to get it. So I almost know that hat by heart now ❤

Thank you for doing all the math for us!!! Some of us - me - can’t do the math!!

I had never heard of stich multiple untill I started following Crystal. I finally figured the gist of it out through her lol. Very very glad you did this video. It's more important then I even knew lol Great teacher.

You're the best! Some people say it's not their job to let you know the multiples of their pattern. 😮

For me, it's easier to watch because I am dyslexic and I transpose numbers. So I thank you for your tutorials. I will always need you ❤

Thank you so much for explaining this. I was always flummoxed to the point of my brain doing a runner whenever I saw "Multiples of 'X' " I now get it, so many thanks. ❤ Much love from across the pond. 🇮🇪

Beauty and brains! You rock🎉🎉🎉🎉. I always appreciate when you give multiples.

I struggle with confidence in reading crochet patterns that is why I appreciate you goint through a pattern

I always enjoyed crochet. But did it as a stress relaxer. But I sewed and design clothes for my sons and husband. I was taught by my sister in law while working in her shop in middle and high school. Now I crochet and design for enjoyment and to give to family. I also have requests from people when they see my work when I set up at craft shows. But for me I just enjoy it.

The stitch multiples you give with your tutorials is one of my favorite things you do Crystal- I use your patterns for making lapghans for my church prayer shawl ministry and make them smaller all the time using the multiples😊 I love them

Thank you so much for this video! So helpful. I knew some of it but you helped me better understand the whys of the multiples! God Bless. Take care. Love you. 🙏😇♥️

I have found your tutorials that include the stitch multiples very helpful. I have made many of your tutorials and changed the size or made something completely different because you included the stitch multiples. Thank you for explaining this so well. I appreciate you, Crystal. You taught me to crochet when no one else was able to. I became an intermediate crocheter in a very short period of time because of you. You are a fantastic instructor as well as an incredible designer. Thank you so much for everything you do. Love to you and the rest of the BOD family.

I love this video, I am going to start a notebook now with the stitch and multiples now.... so I can design too... you are such an inspiration! Thank you Crystal

Thanks Crystal...easy peasy once you grasp the principle of multiples ❤

Thank you for creating this awesome crochet library 📚 at BOD University!

Super glad you enjoy it cuz my brain doesn't want to work that way all the time 😁. It would be fun sometime to see Mr. Bod pick 2 or 3 stitches for you to see what kind of a project you could come up with! Sorry but I will always need you, at least for the love of yarn 😁

I came to this channel knowing pretty much all the basics and having many projects under my belt. I stayed for the endless knowledge, creativity, and heart given in every video. And its so nice when I have _another_ baby blanket to make but I don't want to do a design I've done s hundred times at this point I have plenty of inspiration on the BOD channel

I always like it 🎉🎉 very beautiful talent 🎉🎉 God bless successful life

I so appreciate your tutorials. Watching you has made me an even better crocheter than I thought I was🤗 And you’ve given me the confidence to expand and try new fibers and patterns. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

I am extremely grateful for you enjoyment of math. We benefit greatly 😊

Crystal you have taught me so much! I knew some of the basics of crochet. I found your channel years ago and I have learned Amigurumi, hats, scarves, blankets, shawls, fingerless gloves, headbands, ECT. Mostly from you! I have to give many other channels credit as well but You have been my main go to channel for crochet 😊. I love you & a sweet thank you for all your work 😊😊

I learnt to crochet from you and now i am creating designs from lots of the stitches i have learnt from u, so i can't thank you enough for that but i still love watching your videos 👍🏻 x 💚 CFC

I thank you so much for your tutorials! I love that you give the multiple so I can adjust the size. You are my favorite crochet teacher on youtube. I've made several of your bags and was amazed that I could do something like that. It did give me a lot of confidence and now I'm trying a large amigurumi project. I always get compliments on my bags too. Your way of teaching is so clear I really appreciate you and your work ❤

You’re a fantastic teacher! I’m so thankful for your videos because I was finally able to learn crochet, and I’ve been making all kinds of stuff for years now thanks to you. It’s such a soothing hobby, and I’m thankful to be able to access your wealth of knowledge! Thank you!!

I was very confused the first time I saw a stitch count as a multiple plus. You explained it so well. Thank you for always being here to teach us encourage us and inspire us.

My grandma taught me about multiples. I love making triangle shawl and some day I hope you do an Intermediate to Advance shawl. I hope you and the whole BOD family have a beautiful day

Thanks for making me understand the multiple in a pattern.

I'm glad you teach me new things all the time

Like the beauty of your stitch sampler hat! Love that you can do that ~ you’re so creative! Thanks Crystal!❤

You taught me how to crochet thank you very much for putting videos out so I could learn

Glad you did this video. I understand the concept of multiples so I already knew all this. If you have the multiple, I think it is easier to do the chain...you just count the multiple (1234,1234,1234,1234, etc) then add the turning chain on the end. So easy. That is why I like knowing the multiple. Also, I have a book of borders and edgings and every border pattern gives you the multiple so you will know if that border will work with your project. You may find a border you really like but it needs a multiple of 7 but your project was a multiple of 4, you know that border will not work. Thanks Crystal!

Hello I just wanted to thank you for sharing and detailed explaining what multiple means.

I believe that beginners are confused by the use of the word "stitch". A stitch is, by definition, a single entity, such as a chain stitch, one single crochet stitch, one double crochet stitch, etc. So a multiple of stitches determine the ultimate PATTERN, not the "stitch", of a design. Experienced crafters usually refer to a pattern as a stitch, but you can see how confusing that can be. I love your videos, and just watching you establish a pattern is all I need to understand how to proceed. You deserve all these nearly-a-million subs! Keep up the great work!

I enjoy your tutorials. I’m not a designer but I have found myself modifying some of your tutorials to meet my needs. I am able to do this because you provide the multiples. So thank you for that information.

Thank you for explaining it so well I appreciate you and the way you teach and enjoy your videos.

Thank you Crystal! Just want to let you know I really enjoy your channel, and hope you'll be around for a while yet. Really like your patterns and the way you present them.

But I am happy to hear you plan to be here for a while yet because even as I learn more from you, your designs are so pretty that I enjoy making them

Thank you Crystal for having the patience for teaching us how to crochet. I for one is clueless to make my own pattern. I do have to have a written pattern or a graph to go off.. it is very impressive to me that you make your own pattern.

When I started watching a couple months ago, I had no idea what the multiple meant. So I started trying to just do what you did. I was having fun and it worked. Then one day it clicked. 🤪 I appreciate you so much! ❤

Crystal, thank you so much for explaining multiples. I never gave it much thought until recently when you made more than one thing with the same stitch. Learning that each stitch pattern has a multiple is fascinating and now I’ll pay more attention to how it works.

Hi Crysta,l, thank you for explaining multiples . Cristina from Venice, Italy

Thank you!!! I have never understood multiples and you made it easy!

I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me. I find it so helpful.

I understand multiples, but I wanted to hear Crystal talk and tell 🌸❤️🌸

OH YES we need you.....❤

Thank you for explaining this so well... excellent teacher❤

Crystal, you explain this so well! Your tutorials are always inspiring and I love watching them, trying new stitches and stich combinations. Thank yu for including the stitch multiples when you can. I love the math, too and often use scrap paper to figure out a project. Love your work and appreciate you!

Hi Crystal, thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I’m so very grateful that when I was looking for crochet tutorials during 2020, I was directed to your channel via Google search and KZfaq. I’ve watched almost all your videos but didn’t comment on all. Had it not been for you I still wouldn’t have understood what it meant when a pattern said: ch 2+1 etc, so I would skipped those patterns no matter how beautiful bcuz it made no sense to me whatsoever. As long as you’re on KZfaq and I’m around, even if I can’t crochet anymore I’ll still be watching you. Tutorials, yarn unboxings, lives whatever, I’ll be there. Greatest teacher ever. Thank you again. Sry for the long comment.

Just learning how to make crocheted tops and cardigans. I’m branching into these because you are so easy to follow! You taught cables, I learned to cables. Now I need to measure myself ‘cause I love your style. You’re so talented! Blessings

Thanks Crystal! You are awesome! 🥰🧶

Thank you, Crystal for all your wonderful tutorials. I have learned so much from you and am grateful for all the time and patience you put into your work. We all appreciate you and hope you will continue to "teach us" for a very long time to come. xoxo

Thank you so much for this teaching. I sometimes get confused with the larger numbers especially and dont want to keep saying 1,2,3 1,2,3...lol. makes so much sense to me now.

I understand multiples! But glad u did this video for others. 💕💕 I do not understand the other parts. Im not a math person! Lol! I am not interested in designing my own crochet. I enjoy making stuff from tutorials! Very well explained, Crystal!

Thank you for explaining this. I have learned so much from you and your videos.

I appreciate you giving the multiples and all the other tips. I like also when you don’t count that chain up unless it’s a pattern that it’s not as noticeable. Thank you for all the hard work in these tutorials. Yours are so easy to follow ❤❤❤

I prefer to go my own way and multiples are the reason I can 💜
