Crochet Geek - Streamer Crochet Square

[MissHalo1969]

awesome stitch...Good way for a person to get rid of smaller balls of yarn that otherwise would just hang around forever or get thrown out!

[joseyetran]

Thank you for your videos I learned a lot on Crochets.

[zeldanrj3]

Im doing a baby girl blanket using the streamer crochet. Do you have a Facebook account where i can post the picture when I am done? -Zee. P.s. its lookiing so beautiful!

[tjw1963]

@zeldanrj3 I do have FB and Google+ where you can share pictures. I am sending out invites for Google+ to anyone who asks for one. I will need an email address so you are welcome to send to my inbox.

thanks Teresa for another instructive video I just realized how much my crochet has improved since i found you on the 'Net a few years back.

[tjw1963]

@mrsthursday You are welcome! I appreciate that you have been watching all these years! Thank you!!

[mudduck60]

could you use a double ended crochet hook to do this stitch

[tjw1963]

@mudduck60 You could possibly do something similar.

[LightTamara]

Great video. Thank you!

[tjw1963]

@LightTamara You are welcome

[tashaluv2]

I just logged on and discovered your video's and now I know that I can learn to crochet. You're a very good teacher and being able to watch you step by step will make learning so much easier. I am going to start with the Puff Stitch Hat. thank you so much.

[tjw1963]

@tashaluv2 You are welcome!

i want to make a poncho(made from one rectangular piece),can i use this ..

[jsher1ock]

In the written instructions, you say to chain for any length desired - does it have to be an uneven number? I need it to be twelve an a half inches across.

[tjw1963]

@jsher1ock I say to just chain because the chain does not have to be an exact amount. If you do end up with a bit of extra chain, you can sew it in later, between your stitches.

[01hoonette]

I can not view this video in full for some reason. i can view up to 1.54mins

Is there another i can view to grasp this pattern.

[tjw1963]

@01hoonette Try changing the player setting. You should see 360, 480, 720 at the bottom of the player.

[jgsalazar100]

Very cool. always wanted to know how to do that.... and instead of sewing in corners i would just do a border and hold the tails down.. a lil easier...

[singnlass55]

I would like to make a denser fabric with this stitch for an afghan.  Would it be possible to do this with a half double crochet instead of the double crochet stitches??

[tjw1963]

@singnlass55 Yes, you can work this with the half double crochet instead.

[shanae0407]

keep videos comming girl!

[JACKIE64155]

QUESTION. I would like to use this pattern to make different colored squares. When you get to end of each row, what do you do instead of making a slip knot to attach a new color ?? Really enjoy the videos !!

[tjw1963]

@JACKIE64155 You can run the yarn up the side but it will be visible. You will need to do an edging to cover the edges.

[Purly]

Hmm, this gives some nice ideas~ Think it'll work with half double stitches? :)

[easttxskimo]

When watching the video you stated the foundation chain has to be an odd number for it to work, does it matter when you are making a afghan?

[Folashade1000]

Good work, thank u very much

[sexystarbuddy100]

whats the name of the video when you did puff and spike stitch together?

[tjw1963]

Puffy Spike crochet square.  I did send you the video link.

[montrealstars60]

If I wanted to make a scarf, could I just continue going on and on or is it better to just make squares and then joining them?

I love the colour combination, so pretty.

Thank you Teresa for all your ideas and ALL you tutorials. You are a fantastic teacher.

[tjw1963]

Thank you. Yes, you can continue you with the length.

[baby26girl]

If you wanted to make a afghan how many stitchs do you need for this pattern

[tjw1963]

It would depend on what size you want your afghan, yarn and hook. I can estimate a chain of 200 to start.

[abgrunder]

This is pretty! Colors are matching one another gorgeoulsy. I wish i could do this for my first project.

[tjw1963]

Give it a try!

[knicknack01]

Your site is so amazing. I finally have learned new stitches. I taught myself through books, but seeing them is so much better. thank you.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome.

[BourdeauxTheCat]

I'm SO happy to have found your videos. After years of only knowing a basic stitch, I'm FINALLY able to branch out. I've made a baby afghan using this stitch and it came out gorgeous. But I'm wondering, could the basic idea of this stitch be used in a border to put ribbon through? I just saw some blankets that uses various borders that all had ribbon going through them and just tied in a bow at the corner. If you ever had the time, I'd love to see tutorials for that! :) Thanks for all your vids!

[ddrmaster07]

This would make a cool scarf. So if I wanted a scarf like this would i just continue the rows or do a bunch of squares and connect them?

[tjw1963]

Yes, I actually have a square posted that may be a good size for a scarf. I will send you the link.

[9Jordyn]

thank you

[sednaE5]

It's stunning!!! I love this work and your instructions are extremely precise, I found your videos looking for flowers crochet...You are a great teacher!

Thank you very much.

[tjw1963]

I appreciate the comment, thank you.

[juniperbreezesforme]

Finding all your instructions on U-tube feels like a gift. I have crocheted for over 40 years but there are some stitches I haven't used in a long time. You are helping to refresh my memory in a very clear way. Thank you.

[tjw1963]

Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it.

[digusek]

Hi Theresa, I started an afghan that has the base of your dc, ch1 thrughout the whole thing. Im not happy with the next part of it which is using a slipstitch in the spaces but going up the afghan..it pulls and shortens it. Do you have any idea on what I could use for a "filler" for this base? I wished I saw this video before I started this--it is perfect but I would have to pull the whole thing apart and start over again :(

[ladygris65]

muy bonito trabajo y bien explicado, me gusta ver tus trabajos, te felicito, gracias por compartir

[dilettantegirl]

Are there any plans to make a quick video to show us what two of these would look like together? And would you recommend slip stitching them together to give a raised seam or sewing them together with a blanket, whip or other stitch?

[tjw1963]

If you are using it along with squares, I recommend sewing the squares together which eliminates a raised edge. It is all preference and how you like to put them together.

[prittyinpink2008]

awesome ...thats so  neat :)

[Bethintx1]

Who needs stitch diaries and books with Teresa's channel?

Excellent!

[mikeyssmail]

Wow that's neat!

[oooooJuliaooooo]

Thank you for new ideas !

[Cookieanddough]

aghh thats looks awesome im gonna try it (:

[smhellie]

this block looks amazing.. i am going to try it

[smhellie]

I am learning so much from you. Thank You so much for all your hard work. amazing you. please keep them coming.

[watchingvidsnow]

Are you keeping the tan yarn at the end of each colored row then crocheting up the side of the color when you get to the end of a colored row, or are you cutting it off each time?

[tjw1963]

I am attaching the new color to the opposite end from where I ended. I am not cutting the tan yarn. If you kept your contrasting row of single crochet all one color, you could continue each row without cutting that one too. The only reason I am cutting the color rows is because of the color changes.

[watchingvidsnow]

This looks awesome, and looks like something I can actually do without it driving me crazy, lol.

[tjw1963]

Thank you. This is one that would be a great way to use up scrap yarn. Happy crocheting.

[slimjleo1955]
