thanks :)

yep, you can do any st(s) you want in a back loop, just keep in mind it's only 1 loop instead of 2 so might get floppy on you if you did, say, a bobble or something.

awesome :)

That's awesome! I have a few techniques like that myself (hemstitch in weaving comes to mind) :)

Thanks!

You're welcome! I'm glad it helped!

Yay! so fun :)

aww thanks! :)

Thanks for the feedback. Are you following along with the written pattern? Also you can slow down the video on KZfaq if that’s helpful- click on the gear icon and you can choose the playback speed.

Thanks! :)

Awesome! :)

you're welcome! Glad it was helpful :)

1) it could be a tension thing, try using a larger hook or crocheting more loosely, or stick a smaller hook in the third loop and wiggle it to open it up more. 2) Is the loop bigger on the other side? one side has a tiny loop like you describe, the other side has a large loop.

I have tried crocheting it more loosely as you suggested and the loops are finally bigger. Thanks!

@@AsteroidB6120 Yay! Glad I could help :)

Yay! Glad to hear it worked well for you :) It's hard to believe Halloween is just around the corner!

aww thanks! :) <3

Yay! So glad it was helpful :)

Awesome! My $.02 without having actually done it - I would put the join at the center of a fan, 1 st before the ch-1 sp. So like...start your round with ch 4 (counts as dc and ch-1), then 4 dc in same st. End the round with 3 dc in starting st, then join in 3rd ch of ch 4, and then sl st into the ch-1 sp. That way you're set up to start the next rnd with an sc in the ch-1 sp, then ch 3, cl, etc., joining back in the first sc. On the next round, start with an sc in the first sc, and a fan in the first cl, etc, ending with a join in the first sc. Finally on the next round, start and end with a half cl. this makes 2 half cl sts which isn't idea, but on the next rnd just work into the first one and sk the ending one and your stitch count will be fine. Also remember if you're not turning your rounds, you'll always be on the RS so will need to work your clusters as back post sts instead of front post sts.

@@ILoveAvatarShow correction… you DIDN’T know how to read crochet charts ;) glad you liked it!

you're welcome! :)

thanks!

Yay! I'm glad you liked it, and thank you :)

It is SUCH a fun technique, isn't it? :) Will you be making the blanket?

you're welcome! :)

Glad you liked it! :)

You're welcome! There are so many different types of seams for all different situations, it's sometimes hard to know which one to pick!

Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful :)

Yay! I'm glad it worked for you - and that's a perfect place to use them! :)

thanks! :)

me too! I love that there are infinite ways to mix things up in crochet :)

You're very welcome!

yay! welcome aboard! :)

thanks! :)

thanks! :)

@@StitchesnScraps You're welcome! :)

Probably a bit of both - it's definitely a complex pattern. Are you following along with the written pattern as well? If there's a particular spot where you're getting stuck, let me know - maybe I can help

You're welcome 😊

Glad it helped! Sometimes you just need to SEE it :)

Same here, it was very confusing when it was written but I got it immediately after watching this video ^^

@@jennifertingelof-truecrime5890 yay! :)

awww, thank you so much! You made my morning :)

You can use this whether you're turning or not :) I usually pull the loop through from the wrong side of work to the RS of work, so the only difference if turning is that you may want to pull the loop through in opposite directions for RS and WS rounds.

Yay! Glad it helped!

It should be 6+4 chs (6+3 sts) - I had 21 for the sample. But you don't have to start from sc, you can start from chains or from any sts really, you just need a multiple of 6+3 spots to work into.

you're very welcome! :)

Thank you so much! I'm so glad it worked well for you :)

as someone suggested somewhere in the comments, try putting your hands inside the loop and "snapping" it a few times before winding, that might help loosen any tangles.
