Back to Basics Crochet: Single crochet Row 2 of the scarf.

[AtziLS]

Thank you so much for these videos! I've been trying to teach myself to crochet but the instructional books are a little confusing at times. See how it's done on video gives me a bit of confidence to try this again. I was on the verge of giving up!

[Bethintx1]

@BloomzLegolas F hook is very small. It will curl more with the smaller hooks. try using a J hook.  It will still curl, but will do it less.

[wolvie1012]

Thank you so much this really helps :) I'm planning to make a scarf I knit but always wanted to know how to crochet too

[SolarisDeLuna]

@xanoevessels Wow you have to be one of the rudest people I have ever seen on Youtube and you should be ashamed of yourself!! Everything she says to to better help people who are new to crochet and need to know and see everything they have to do. Knowing how much stiches you have made is just one of the many important steps you need so you don't make mistakes and miss stiches. If you do not apperciate this then just leave.

[Bethintx1]

@SolarisDeLuna Thanks. I removed the post.

[SolarisDeLuna]

@Bethintx1 You are very welcome and thank you so much for posting these videos.

[LivingTheMoment99]

First, thank you sooo much for your videos! I have successfully taught myself how to crochet! Second, I hold my yarn in my right hand is that normal/okay?

[Bethintx1]

@LivingTheMoment99 Does holding it in your right hand work? Then it's okay!

[StoopsMaGoops]

When you turn back around for the 3rd row do you go back to only picking up that single loop at the top since you're back in the front again?

[Bethintx1]

@StoopsMaGoops No. you are still working into the back of the stitches from the previous row. Going into one loop is either back lop only(blo), or front loop only(flo). I cover that in another video.

[aktartt]

I'm working my way through your Back to Basics series and find them so helpful. Thank you thank you! At 65 years of age, I think I am finally learning to crochet. My question is this: How can I find a list of all your videos arranged in a logical progression (i.e., from rank beginner like the yarns and tools videos to gradually more intermediate to more advanced)? Maybe YouTube has an organizing feature that I'm missing.

[Bethintx1]

@aktartt  I have several videos put into play lists. If you go to my channel page (by clicking on my user name) then click the grid view (the little thing that looks like a window on the right) then choose "play lists"

You will see the back to basics videos in order. Then there are other play lists for specific crochet-alongs.

I wish I could organize them better too. I'll have to mess with it and see if that can be done.

[jeffinaf]

Wonderfully clear & done slowly so we can see exactly what's happening.What a tremendous help !Thank you so much.

[stalcupaam]

Thank you SO MUCH!! I have always wanted to learn how to crochet, and having never picked up a hook before I made a small dishcloth in the time it took to watch the Super Bowl thanks to this video!!

[mssnl22]

thanks so much for your videos am I brand new to crocheting and your videos are the BEST!! you teach so well slow and close up. thanks so much i was going to give up on it till i saw your videos. thanks soooo much:)

[26lehcar]

ok so I am doing the exact same thing right

[xanoevessels]

This is a great video but I have one concern, my computer goes slow so I really need to work fast. So for all your other videos,can you save the unneeded stuff in the beginning? Like Thee stitches you did before? Overall, it's great! Helped much, Thanks alot

{ I mean it in the nicest, kindest way!}

[MsBlaird]

Great video! You're a great teacher, I've been doing it wrong all along! You are very clear with your steps! Thank you!!

[Kingkids26]

Thanks a TON! like many have said, your videos are amazing! I really appreciate your time and effort. I am starting my 3rd row and I have a question. When you start on the 3rd row you are now back on the original side. At this point do I only push the needle through and go under 1 line like on line 1 or under the v's like on line 2? Sorry if I'm unclear or it makes no sense. I really hope you understand the question.

[TheBoyds99229]

When you say do 7 rows; does that mean do 7 total or do 7 more with a total of 9 rows?

[blightedangel]

I'm a beginner crocheter, and I have to say that your videos (for Dummies) are extremely helpful. It's like having a friend sitting beside me, guiding my clumsy fingers.

Please keep posting, I am so grateful!

[iluvcheezitsheyhey]

Thank you SO much. I got so confused trying to pick up a project from a long time ago, and your videos (especially the way you go SLOWLY and position the camera from your point of view) have really, really helped me. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! :D

[triffling11pirate]

So for the 3rd to 7th row, do we continue how we did this 2nd row?

[Bethintx1]

@triffling11pirate yes!

[ilove2crochet13]

@triffling11pirate i think so

[epically000awsome]

YAY i think i got it but one question, can you do mittens and/or gloves????

[coconutpup]

Oh my gosh! I have tried learning how to crochet from books my sister gave to me, but I always knew I had been doing something wrong when I got to the second row. Now I know it's because you have to go under both! For some reason, the books never got that across to me. Thanks so much!

[WhoKilledLacey]

Your videos are so so good!! I had no one to teach me and really wanted to learn and your videos made it so easy. I'm just starting out and am horrible but im sure i will get better with practice. Thank you so much!!!!!!

[northie66]

Thank you so much for posting these. I couldn't figure out why each row seemed to be longer or shorter than the previous row... now I know!

[JMBoli]

=) Hi!

Do you have a video making a bag?

I like how you teach crochet.

it's simple and you do it slow enough that i can really see what you are doing where in other videos they do hard crochet and they do it fast too ...i finally learned how to crochet pass the first steps with the row 1 and row 2 videos you did!!

^-^Bah.. so happy! thank you lots for teaching me!

[Bethintx1]

@JMBoli Not yet! I hope to in the future. Hopefully, once you learn the basics, you will be able to read patterns & follow one of the thousands of free patterns on the internet and make one on your own!

[karikuebler]

When you say I should have one less sc then my original chains... does the first slip knot you do to get in on your needle count as one or is that zero?

[Bethintx1]

@karikuebler I count the slip knot as a chain, because I work a stitch into it. If you pulled the slip knot tight, and do not work a stitch into it, then it does not count as a chain. The last chain before you work your first row does not count as a stitch. This chain is used to position the yarn for the height of the single crochets in the second row.

[LetheTheForgetful]

Maybe black yarn wasn't the best color to use for my first crochet scarf :/ I'm having a hard time finding the little pi's

Otherwise you're an excellent teacher :] I had the same amount of stitchings. Thanks for teaching me crochet :]

[Uniquaism]

My crochet turned out well. Your tutorial was great! I find keeping the tension the hardest part. My hands are aching from the effort... Thanks heaps :O)

[ddmcelhannon]

Thank you for posting these videos! My cousin has tried and tried to help me crochet and I just have not been able to do it well! But getting to watch you do it over and over again, I think I have got it now! Thanks again!

[Cate512]

Thank you so much for these videos! I actually get it now!! :)

[hikari11AMV4kei]

wow... Nice teaching mam...

[hikari11AMV4kei]

wow...

[jesikad2]

could you please tell me what am I doing wrong...I just started to crochet 2 days ago and my chain was really tight so by the time i got to the 3rd row it was really hard to pull through I`m about to give up but I really want to make my scarf ! please help thank you :^)

[Bethintx1]

@jesikad2 Relax. Loosen up a bit. Do not pull your yarn too tight around your hook.

Many beginners work too tightly. Try using a larger hook for the chain... and always, practice, practice, practice!

[jesikad2]

@Bethintx1 Thank you for replyin back so quickly ..I went ahead and bought a bigger hook I bought a J and it`s way much better than the H I was using I`m getting the hang of it now I did miss some stichings on my scarf which made it a little slanted but its ok it`s my first scarf and I`m proud of it so thank you very much for the videos keep those vids coming :^)

[lemmycarma]

you make it look so easy! i can't wait to start:) keep it up!

[watashiwajaxdesu]

Okay, so when you're going under the "top two lines of pi," it's like you're going under two pieces of yarn, right?

[Bethintx1]

@watashiwajaxdesu yes!

[rmpbklyn]

excellent , it just what I was looking for.

many videos just do one row... then I was stuck.

thx

[shuichishindouu]

My grandmother started crocheting at the age of 16 and her great aunt and grandmother crochetted before her. I have always wanted to learn and I could always do a nice chain but never able to do another row, Thank you these will help me alot in learning

[Knuttyknitster]

Thank you so much for this series. I am a knitter and have wanted to learn

to crochet. Your videos have made this easy and I am learning each of the

stitches by watching your videos. They are easy to understand and follow and

I am thrilled at the skill I am developing. It is all because of your wonderful videos.

Thank you for your dedication and time!

[glensarahs]

I am having trouble following the sequences of the videos.  Meaning which video follows the one I've just watched.

[Bethintx1]

@glensarahs go down to the video response. or, go to my channel and follow the play list.

[Bethintx1]

I'm getting a bunch of messages about your crochet turning into a triangle. You are missing stitches. Be sure to make one chain before turning your work!

[jled0920]

Thanks for replying! I will try again :)

[loomydude]

I guess that's what I have been doing, not making one chain before I turn my work and start on the next row.

Thank you so very much for doing these videos.

[jled0920]

I tried this and now my crochet is turning to into a triangle :(. What am I doing wrong? I'm pretty sure I followed your steps very closely, did I miss something?

[Bethintx1]

You are likely skipping stitches. Try again with a smaller swatch; maybe only 11 chains and 10 stitches. Count your stitches every row. If you have less. tear it out and tr again. It won't be a very good scarf, but it's great practice.

[melemel]

This is great, thank you for making these videos - though for some reason each row i do is shorter. I ended up with a perfect triangle. Need to watch you more closely i think!

[daisy2799]

ive been knitting for years and wanted to take up crocheting. i was having some issues following the books but this is wonderful! Soon I will making blankets for everyone!

[Bethintx1]

I know what you mean. I started crocheting when I was just 11 years old, but learned to knit after I was married in my mid 20's. I really became a serious knitter just a couple of years ago. Crochet still is my favorite. It goes faster!

[dhogue1]

Thanks for this! I'm following you along to learn to crochet! Can't wait for the next video!

[OhHiImAngela]

This was really helpful, thank you!!

[susankim51]

Happy crocheting.
