@supermelodia Casting off is a term used in knitting. With crochet you cut and secure your yarn, since most of the time we are working with only one loop on the hook.
This must be an old video because this is not like any of your other video's....I am lost at 2:20... I wish you would redo this video like your others where everything is well explained...:(
after the four chains you say, "you go on thru here, chain 3 and then do 9 more double crochet" but you do not clearly show where 'here is' i got to this step and now i am lost. very frustrating.
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm making a friend a baby blanket and couldn't not figure out how to make flowers to attach to it. This was very helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. I've never been able to get the hang of making flowers until I viewed your patient demonstration. Now I'm adorning all my favorite things with colorful bouquets, having made a dozen or more. Now I have a wonderful way to use my scraps of yarn. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
OK, So I don't understand the part at 2:24... you say, "I am going to single crochet in the single crochet in the previous round...." I have backed up and played it again and again to see if I can get it... but alas, I can't. Is that in the loop like the last part of the flower has the petals attached... or is it the first row of chains that I made int he beginning to make the circle? Sorry, I'm too confused... ;0P
I am not even gonna lie, you go TOO FAST!!! You dont really SHOW WHAT TO DO, I'm Lost, for everyone who is NOT SATISFIED please go to a GOOD person's channel: the channel name is crochet
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the flower is so beautiful, but damn you really suck at tutorials! you count out really good, but that´s about the only thing you can follow, you don´t say anything about where you latch on and stuff and you´re doing it waaaay to fast. it feels more like a video you did incase you yourself forget how you did your last flower. lol or maybe i´m too much of a beginner ;)
@airasweetie . How dare you say that to Teresa? She's a master. She has uploaded hundreds of videos and she's the best crochet teacher in youtube! There was no need for rude language...
At around 6:15 or so, you say "you just go on through here," but you're holding it so low and the rose is so rumpled that I can't tell where "here" is. I would suggest slowing down or stopping at crucial points to hold the project up to the camera, and make it as flat as possible so one can see exactly where you're pushing the hook through.
I did manage to get everything up to that point just fine though, so YAY I can make incredibly wrinkly roses. ;) (I think I stitch too tight!)
@Saichania This video is one of the very first videos I made 4 years ago. I am proud to say that I have improved. The YouTube video player has pause. If that is not enough, I have 700 other videos with extended slow motion. Some of them are newer versions of flowers. If you are new to crochet, I have a very detailed playlist with detailed video tutorials.
i just want to thank you i am a beginner. i have only been doing it for going on two weeks and i have croched a hat with the bill 2 blankets with the granny squares and a pair of earrings. thank you very much
This is great, thank you for the instructions. I now have a cute little bag with cute flowers on it :-) also planning on making the flowers into hair clips :-D
Thanks for the video. I think it's better for beginners who know crochet technique and know the stitches you mention, but for complete newbies like myself this is a little difficult to follow but certainly doable! I did it :)
OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING FOR TWO DAYS STRAIGHT AND I NEVER DO IT RIGHT! I DO IT EXACTLY HOW IT SHOWS ON THE VIDEO BUT IT NEVER TURNS OUT RIGHT!
I'm a beginner, and I was able to follow your instructions and was able to do it! It took several starts and stops, mainly because I just kept losing count. Anyway thanks
I've never picked up a crochet hook for 30 years and have never successfully crocheted anything but a chain. I found I could follow this really easily and managed a bonny flower! Thank you.
I've been crocheting since I was 8 yrs old & I don't even RUSH through any piece I make when showing SOMEONE WHO'S never made them before...SHESH slow down or don't bother posting your videos!
This is probably the worst video I have seen of yours, and usually I really like them. I can't get past the first minute, because you won't show where the hook is supposed to go.
You are the most amazing teacher ever!!! Thank you so much I made a hat with a flower yesterday just by watching your videos, It is my very first attempt ever at crochet! It turned out awesome my teenage girls are fighting over it, lol, I am now working on the puff hat, Do you make Mitts without the fingers?
Thanks for the wonderful demo. It was super easy to use, even for a beginner who barely knows what "chain 3" means. My flower looks totally cute, and my toddler is in love with it (and can tell what it is!).
After the chain I got totally lost. Does anyone know about a tutorial for dummies like me? I really want to crochet a flower, but this is too complicated for me... :(
@GuanderGuoman If you are new to crochet, I would recommend that you become familiar with the crochet stitches first before you try a project. Being familiar with the stitches will make this flower much easier.
I'm a crochet beginner, and would like to thank you so much for sharing. I've just followed your easy, step by step demo, and my flower has turned out beautifully. I could knit and sew for England, but now I'm 'hooked' on crochet.
Thank you for teaching how to crochet such a beautiful flower. Also give ideas to make some little changes, I feel so grateful for your knowledge and the will you have in sharing it with us.
yeah I can't see because you are going too fast and your fingers are in the way... I understand this is a demo and not a tutorial... but yeah why post if its not clear...
@JustPhotoKyle Did you click on the flower playlist posted at the beginning of the video? Since this video was made, YouTube had provided longer time limits and larger file sizes so I am no longer limited to 10 minutes as I was with this video 3+ years ago.
I must have rewound and replayed this video about 20 times, but I finally finished my first flower. I am using a really plush wool yarn so I realized I only needed 5 dc instead of 10. I redid it and added on a second layer with minimal problems. Your video is great. This makes me sooo happy. I can't wait to go to the store to buy more yarn and more hooks. :)
Thanks a lot. After I noticed that you were using American instructions. I used your flowers and they came out beautifully. I am writing from Malta an island in the Mediterranean.
Thank you so much. You make understanding complicated text patterns so easy. Seems like you have found your lifes purpose. Certainly have brought alot of joy to alot of people.
If you look at the top of each stitch, you will see two loops. One to the front of the stitch. One on the back of the stitch. The instructions are telling you to work in the back loop only. I will send you a link for a video I made showing what is meant.
Here in America we call it a double crochet. You may have a book made for the country that you live in. Unfortunately without a standard for crochet stitches across the globe, it creates a lot of confusion between countries.
Can you please demonstrate how to do a reverse shell? I am using my husbands you tube....don't want people thinking he is into crochet....he would freak. Anyway, my pattern from the coats and clark book I am using says this.....insert hook from back to front to back around post of st indicated, draw loop through, 7 times, yo and draw through all 8 loops on hook. I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try. No luck searching the internet either.
ummm when you chain three do you do your single crochet in the middle hole or in the next stitch? theres is this part when you finish chaining three and you now join it to what? i couldnt understand that part. plzz help
Every video I do now has a good amount of slow motion in it now. Back when I first started I was limited by a 10 minute time limit. A lot of tutorials are 30 minutes now.
Thank you very much for replying on my reqest so soon, I am not in America, I am from Bahrain ( Middle east). I tried e.bay but was not able to find any. If you have any sights that you know please let me know I want to try the flowers that you are doing it will help me alot I will try other sights again.
I would like to buy crochet hooks what size you would recomend me to buy and I would like to know if you can help me because I cannot find enough sizes in my country as I found only size 1.6 or 1 the large sizes are not available, and on lines will not be sent to my country I would like to know if you can help me in finding all sizes
Fortunately you did double crochet. Single crochet would just be another flower petal variation. The written and symbol instructions are on my crochet blog so you can double check if you ever think something is not correct.
This is one of my original videos before size and time restrictions were lifted. At one point I only had a 10 minute time limit and 100 mb in video size. I would like to invite you to check out some of the other crochet video's that are much longer and have slow motion. Once you become advanced, you can come back to this video. I will mention that you are able to stop, pause and rewind. It is not necessary to crochet at the speed that I do in the video.
I just want to say your videos are VERY helpful. I made a flower like the one in this video, but I can't really see where exactly you crochet to make the second one. I came up with a different way and it looks about the same. Do u have any more videos about crochet?
I have to tell you what I have done with this flower design. I took Red, White, and Green yarn that has the silver thread running through it, it is called Christmas yarn, or something. Anyway, I make a layer of each color and tie it to the gifts I have wrapped. Makes a perfect Christmas "bow" for those smaller boxes.
Hi Theresa :) I've done a flower with these instructions, but I'm finding that after DCing 10 times in that little bitty 3-chain hole, the bulk start hanging over/covering up the next 3-chain hole. I ended up doing a 7-chain circle, and 5 5-chains slip-stitched to the circle to see if making it bigger helped. It sort of did!
I'm still very new, and I'm sure that's part of the problem, but do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much!!
There is a little secret to the tighter holes. I hope this will make sense. When the stitches start getting to close, you grasp the chain in one hand and the stitches in the other hand and give them a big tug back so they pull away from the first stitch.
Okay, that makes sense! I'll try again tonight, and keep tucking the petals back as I go along. I'd love to try the second set of petals too. Maybe I'll e-mail you a picture if it comes out okay.
Thanks again for all your help, and amazing videos!
Thank you so much for your simple and clear instructions! I am just learning to crochet, and I decided to start from something simple. I made this flower, and I like the result. Happy crocheting! :)
PS still stuck with the granny square - I know how to crochet the middle part but not sure how to go on... Anyway, the granny square will be my next step.
Wow you make that look so simple. i have seen another lady doing the same thing but you make your tutorial look so much more easy . I thnk i will try this variation cause i love it. You Rock!! Thumbs up for ya!!!!
wow teresa you are 1 awesome tutour long may you reign,queen of crochet.I am a beginner but you make things so straight forward.i have just finished doing 2 of your beautiful flowers.Power to the hook.you go girl.
Ah thank you for making a video of how to crochet a flower, i bought a book but it confuses me to no end!!! I love visual aid ^^ please keep continuing to upload video's!
Thanks for your great tutorials. I worked through several of them last night.
One question. When you're single crocheting, I can't see what you're single crocheting TO. Are you SCing through the center of the loop? Through a single link in the loop? The position of your hands and the angle of the camera make it difficult for me to tell. Any clarification would be much appreciated!
It is through the center of the loop. There are written and symbol instructions on my crochet blog. You can find the link to the right of the video under "More Info"
Yes :) I made my first flower thank you for the video ! Do you have one for crochet a animal hat?

What is the time code that you need help with?
tjw1963 3 years ago
This is great, but I wish you could do it slightly slower - it's hard to see where the hook goes each time.

Every video I do now has a good amount of slow motion in it now. Back when I first started I was limited by a 10 minute time limit. A lot of tutorials are 30 minutes now.

I would like to buy crochet hooks what size you would recomend me to buy and I would like to know if you can help me because I cannot find enough sizes in my country as I found only size 1.6 or 1 the large sizes are not available, and on lines will not be sent to my country I would like to know if you can help me in finding all sizes
el7elwa1988 3 years ago
I would recommend a size "H" or "I" aluminum hook. Have you tried E-bay. A lot of people here in America will ship overseas.

for your second petal, you say to do 10 more single crochet.. but then you do 10 more double crochet?
might just be my mistake, I am very new to this.
thanks for this video though, it is kind of fast but if I keep on pausing and playing the video I can keep up all right.
michaelax13 3 years ago
Fortunately you did double crochet. Single crochet would just be another flower petal variation. The written and symbol instructions are on my crochet blog so you can double check if you ever think something is not correct.
tjw1963 3 years ago
You go way to fast for me to keep up.

This is one of my original videos before size and time restrictions were lifted. At one point I only had a 10 minute time limit and 100 mb in video size. I would like to invite you to check out some of the other crochet video's that are much longer and have slow motion. Once you become advanced, you can come back to this video. I will mention that you are able to stop, pause and rewind. It is not necessary to crochet at the speed that I do in the video.
tjw1963 3 years ago
I just want to say your videos are VERY helpful. I made a flower like the one in this video, but I can't really see where exactly you crochet to make the second one. I came up with a different way and it looks about the same. Do u have any more videos about crochet?

Thank you. I have 220+ crochet video tutorials. You can find them on my main crochet channel.

I have to tell you what I have done with this flower design. I took Red, White, and Green yarn that has the silver thread running through it, it is called Christmas yarn, or something. Anyway, I make a layer of each color and tie it to the gifts I have wrapped. Makes a perfect Christmas "bow" for those smaller boxes.

It is not necessary for you to keep up with the video. You can pause and even rewind to watch a part over and over again.

Hi Theresa :) I've done a flower with these instructions, but I'm finding that after DCing 10 times in that little bitty 3-chain hole, the bulk start hanging over/covering up the next 3-chain hole. I ended up doing a 7-chain circle, and 5 5-chains slip-stitched to the circle to see if making it bigger helped. It sort of did!
I'm still very new, and I'm sure that's part of the problem, but do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much!!

There is a little secret to the tighter holes. I hope this will make sense. When the stitches start getting to close, you grasp the chain in one hand and the stitches in the other hand and give them a big tug back so they pull away from the first stitch.
tjw1963 3 years ago
Okay, that makes sense! I'll try again tonight, and keep tucking the petals back as I go along. I'd love to try the second set of petals too. Maybe I'll e-mail you a picture if it comes out okay.
Thanks again for all your help, and amazing videos!

You leave a long length of tail, get a tapestry needle and sew it where you would like it.

Do you have a video where you show how to combine colors? As in... how to use multiple balls of yarn with different colors?
blooperzine 3 years ago
I don't have a video up but I have one in the works. You will use yarn bobbins when changing colors in the middle of the row.

tjw1963 3 years ago
Thanks for your great tutorials. I worked through several of them last night.
One question. When you're single crocheting, I can't see what you're single crocheting TO. Are you SCing through the center of the loop? Through a single link in the loop? The position of your hands and the angle of the camera make it difficult for me to tell. Any clarification would be much appreciated!
az536 3 years ago
It is through the center of the loop. There are written and symbol instructions on my crochet blog. You can find the link to the right of the video under "More Info"
