The Art of Crochet by Teresa - Crochet - Single Crochet Edging

[MsGin1969]

Is this a good edging for Tunisian? I am just learning Tunisian and noticed in one of your videos you mention about the curling and that you should put edging on it to prevent it - or something to that effect. Would this work well, or would you recommend a different style of edging for Tunisian?

@MsGin1969 The single crochet will work with tunisian

[queenoblivia]

thank you!

[amfromvenus]

Thanks for the nice tutorial.. Very simple and easy to understand. :)

[tjw1963]

@amfromvenus You are welcome.

When you do the corners, is that 2 and 3 single crochets in one corner stitch?

[tjw1963]

@Tsunada1 Yes, you will want to work more than 1 stitch in the corners or they will pull and curl. This video is only an example. You may find that you need to work 5 stitches in the corner or only 3 stitches. You have a lot of room for modification.

I wish you had shown your actions more slowly.

lol!

[TheKittykat100]

I love your videos because you make it sooooo simple!

[tjw1963]

@TheKittykat100 Thank you.

Teresa, I cant see what you're doing very well with a light background. Im having trouble getting started. Can you possibly show me another edging. Thank you!

[wolfalix]

Thank you for posting this! I've been trying to figure out how to do edging. I got the first row done but then I didn't know how to continue on so this really helped!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome.

[anachronism1984]

Great video. What is the pattern (or where could I find the pattern) for your mini afghan sample? My grandmother made an afghan just like it, and I'd really like to know how to make one myself. Thanks!

[tjw1963]

This mini square is called the basketweave stitch. It uses frontpost and backpost double crochet stitches. I will send you the link separately.

[anachronism1984]

Thank you so much!

[capmcg]

Your videos are excellent. On the edging video would you make the single crochets with the RS facing you? Does it matter?

[tjw1963]

It would depend on if your pattern stitch has a right side. Most of the time it will not matter which side you put it on.

[dibbuck]

Hey I followed your instructions exactly and ended up stabbing myself in the leg!

[tjw1963]

Why did you go and do that?

[dibbuck]

I was knitting on a rollercoaster. It's ok now - I made a bandage from my husbands shirt. Thank you for the video though , I in no way hold you responsible.

[tjw1963]

Thank you very much. :)

[scrapperachelk]

this is very helpful, thanks so much :)

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[gabrielle22522]

i can't seem to even get the first step down. I am confused as to how to loop it over and pull out. I think i'm just a slow learner.

[tjw1963]

I have video tutorials specifically for the beginning crochet stitches. They are in slow motion. Let me know if you need help finding them.

[valgirlak]

This is going to be very useful to me. Im trying to finish a earflap hat and I want white criss-cross st all around the hat. This is just for decorative purposes. Do you know how I could do this without messing up anything?? lol. Thank you

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[bkjweb]

You are great. Thank you for this instructional video. It has helped a lot. Where can I find more of your videos? I just came a cross this by chance.

[tjw1963]

They are all here on youtube. You can click on my main channel page and you will find playlists categorizing basic stitches for beginners.

[mmarierogers]

This is great. I'm a visual learner, so this was great!!! Thanks!!

[tjw1963]

Thank you. :)

[LyndaAKnight]

Your videos have been wonderful for me. I'm a very visual person and instructions on paper don't always do it for me. I can keep replaying your instructions until I understand. My most heartfelt thanks for your help.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[paulyknit]

Do you think this looks good on a knit project.

[tjw1963]

I hear of people using knit and crochet together all the time. I don't see why it would not look good.

[harasmit]

I have been trying to learn to crochet for years and your videos finally helped it sink in for me. I have been making hats and things like crazy lately and have been really enjoying myself.

Thank you for doing this.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[tjw1963]

I do have a demonstration called crochet basketweave which is done in two parts.

[catvaughn007]

Thank you for sharing your videos, I am new to crocheting and I would just like to know if you could show us how to do the stitch that you used to make the "blanket" in this tutorial? It's very beautiful!

[tjw1963]
