Crochet Geek - Crochet Popcorn Stitch

[barrows86]

Yes a baby blanket for buggy / stroller u might know it as :s

[morevaseret]

I think a stroller is like a push chair or

trolly in England, a pram is probably called a baby carriage in the states

[barrows86]

How many would i need 2chain 2do a pram blanket size????

[tjw1963]

@barrows86 I am not familiar with the term pram. Is that a baby blanket?

[ninjanarutochat]

@tjw1963 A pram is like a stroller in the states. :)

[chousholder]

@tjw1963 a pram is what people in the UK call a stroller.

[tjw1963]

@barrows86 I will estimate a chain of 175

[deejaevee3]

do you have any totorials useing this pattern for a beanie? please

[2012isHere]

THANK YOU! I have been struggling with a dang popcorn stich all night. Little did I know I should have been going only one portion of chainspace. I was going under the entire V and leaving NO room for myself. Thanks Again!!

[tjw1963]

@2012isHere You are welcome.

[brittelyses]

[cookiedough628]

[tjw1963]

@galaxygirl197 Thank you. :)

[shalenigma]

Hi Teresa,

I love your work and i have made a couple of things for my baby with your videos and they all are just wonderful!

I had a request, could you pls make a video of how to make the popcorn pinwheel motif for a bedspread.

I would really appreciate it, as i find your videos easy to follow.

Thank you soo much for all ur videos! Ur amazing!

[MindlessThanEverB4]

Wow as soon as she started, I lost track lol

[bjulialacer3]

I know how to do it, but it's been a long time. Nice showing...

[tjw1963]

@bjulialacer3 Thank you! :)

[ituma4sure1]

what can you use this stitch to make?

i like ur videos so much. i've used it to do a lot of things

[LilGrey456]

@ituma4sure1 Baby Blankets.. that's what I'm working on. I call it a bubble blanket rather than a popcorn..both are the same.

[tjw1963]

@LilGrey456 One crochet stitch can go by many different names.

[YeimaGB]

Thank you so much, another stitch i have been able to learn thanks to you!

[YeimaGB]

love all your tutorial videos, i really learn alot. Thank you

[tjw1963]

@YeimaGB You are welcome

[pinkjorey]

[tjw1963]

@pinkjorey Glad you like it

[eleanorayoulateagain]

Teresa, you are AWESOME!! Thank you again for another GREAT VIDEO!

[planetkiller1225]

Thank you so much for this. I was having problems with the stitch as described in the pattern, but seeing you do it really helped me. Thanks again!

[tjw1963]

@planetkiller1225 I am glad that you got it figured out! :)

[CelinaCorinne]

You are the only instructions I can learn from! Patterns and even other videos frustrate me quickly. I am on my 5th aoc video and can keep up without pausing at all. I had never crocheted before these videos. thanks!

[tjw1963]

@CelinaCorinne You are welcome! I am happy for you and your success learning to crochet!

[MrsJiffybag]

Thank you for making it so simple to understand. Not only fo I have dyslexia I also have a great ndeal of troubles with numbers so reading a patter is very difficult to imposible. stiches broken down like this and shared through you tube help us who ahve dificulties and no one who is crochet orientated to ask.

keep going I am learning os much fro myou .

rachel

[trovey02]

Nice tutorial!

[smekat]

You ROCK MY WORLD!! Thankyou once again... x

[tjw1963]

@smekat You are welcome!

[mayonayonayonaise]

i didnt know there were 3 ways to do the popcorn stitch, i always had trouble with that one while reading a pattern. thank you for the vid!

[tjw1963]

@mayonayonayonaise You are welcome!

[TodaywithRuthie]

Just made a Black B erry salad stitch and it seemed so similar to this I wanted to check what a popcorn stitch was.

@RuthieAppleby

[tjw1963]

@TodaywithRuthie Sometimes the same crochet stitch can have several different names.

[MsInga2011]

Thank you for teaching, sharing and caring for the passion of crochet. Your instructions are a pleasure to follow you give enough explanation and time to learn. I am an avid and relentless crocheter always watching for your new ideas. Thank You

Ingridkrazycrochet

[tjw1963]

@MsInga2011 Your kinds words are appreciated!

[yotcral66]

The way you are doing this is very hard for left handed people. I have the concept of it, but when I am finished the whole stitch is up side down. Please is there a way to do this for left handed people?

[tjw1963]

@yotcral66 I thought I had made a lefty popcorn tutorial. That is something I will do. I have a new channel youtube/crochet where I am uploading beginner video. The video is new and will not be uploaded here.

[tjw1963]

@yotcral66 I will be uploading new video to both channels but no duplicates.

[JEVJACKIE]

i love your videos they are so easy to understand! :) thank you for all the awesome videos

[tjw1963]

@JEVJACKIE You are welcome. :)

[kriskrossRIP]

Do you know how to do bavarian crochet? If you do can you do a video? Thank you

[pisceslicious]

your welcome :)

[pisceslicious]

very very helpful ....

[tjw1963]

@pisceslicious Thank you.

[kyut530]

Wait--when you do the chain/double crochet stitch to give yourself space between the popcorn stitches, do you make the popcorn stitch in the chain space after where the double crochet stitch goes, or in the same space?

Also---think you can show how to do those in rounds?

[dennybunny22]

could this stich be used to make a hat? would it be complicated?

thank you very much teresa =)

[dennybunny22]

could this stich be used to make a hat? would it be complicated?

thank you very much teresa =)

[knightowl44]

Hi teresa, love your videos. I think you are awesome and i am always visiting your sites trying to learn something new. I have one question for you...can the popcorn stitch be used instead of the closed mesh when doing a filet crochet. Is there anything that i would have to change as far as the spacing in between. Ive done a small swatch, but not sure what the whole outcome would look like. what do you think?

[knightowl44]

Hi teresa. You are awesome. What talent you have. Thanks for sharing all of your techniques. I have one question for you. Can the popcorn stitch be used for the closed mesh on filet crochet. Do you have any videos on something like that? Once again thank you for all you do.

[Eryyna]

thank you :) this helped me a lot

[tjw1963]

@Eryyna You are welcome.

[jsisag]

Do these stitches make the work larger? I mean is it ok if I take the basic number of chains I usually do instead of decreasing it to allow room for the work to spread?

[tjw1963]

@jsisag The popcorn may expand the work a little bit on the edges.

[jsisag]

@tjw1963 Thank you! I plan to make a cardigan with this stitch

[bibilui]

wow that is so cute... : )

[directedbyhp]

I love it. thank you

[shezie16]

Thanks for this video. Teresa.

I too will be using this stitch for a baby blanket..

Love your videos.

Best wishes,

Sheryl..

[tjw1963]

@shezie16 I purchase yarn from AC Moore, Michaels, or Wal-mart.

[Kristycoon29]

How many chain do I need for baby blanket size? Thanks for shaing how to crochet popcorn style stitch. I have pattern but never get it till saw your video!

[tjw1963]

@Kristycoon29 I would estimate 125-150 for a baby blanket.

[craftygrandma419]

I make a simplified popcorn stitch and it is the same on both sides, I love making it. I just finished an afghan. I think your patterns are great, isn't it funny how there are so many different ways to do a pattern? I love your video.

[tjw1963]

@craftygrandma419 Yes, one idea can spawn hundreds of different ways.

[Hubbibi13]

Thank you for this video! I can now make popcorns woooo!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[BubblesofAir]

@tjw1963 hey where do you buy your yarn at?

[mrsanniescarr]

I love your videos !! you are fantastic and your ideas are easy to follow and understand. I started crocheting a few years ago and could only ever do basic doublce crochet but more recently I decided to start trying some new stitches and have now learned this popcorn stitch, star stitch, larksfoot stitch, half double crochet and v stitch thanks to you and 1 other video-maker on youtube ! so THANKYOU ! keep the videos coming !

[Gigis360]

I would love to make a blanket or throw with this stitch. Do you have a blanket or throw pattern with this stitch? As a general rule I have a hard time following patterns, but your are always so easy. GREAT tutorial.

[thomasmccarty09]

wh can't i see this this one on my cell ph ? i dont have internet at home for my netbook just my cell ph irene

[tjw1963]

Many people have watched on their cell phone so I know it can be done.

[TheSister12345]

Please could you tell me if I could make a scarf with the popcorn stitch,thanks.

[TheSister12345]

Hi can you tell me if you could make a scarf with this stitch.

[tjw1963]

Yes,  you can make a scarf.

[gambrell104]

Can you make a hat with that stitch?

[tjw1963]

You can make a hat out of this stitch.

[doodlespro]

This is beautiful..what if i want to do a simple double or single crochet on the next row...can u please show that also?

[puddles70]

do you have any written instructions for this stich. i like to read them after i watch your videos.

[tjw1963]

This is one stitch I never wrote up instructions for. I will work on written instructions.

[puddles70]

oh that would be awesome. thanks so so much, hey by the way i learned how to crochet from your videos and your blog, thanks again for making them so easy to understand :)

[Kakerville]

Kewl!!!!!!! Thanks!!

[lahammer1]

I saw a baby blanket done in this stitch and it was like a sea of bubbles . It was very nice. I thank you again Teresa for your help and wonderful video. I definitely will be trying this stitch.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. Happy crocheting. :)

[gtarplyr123]

@lahammer1 wow that seems cool i think i will do that thanks for the idea!!

[SketchyBob]

what do people use this for? :]

[tjw1963]

It is used as an accent stitch for some texture and a special effect.

[catwmn1]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! You have no idea how long I've wanted to know how to do the popcorn stitch, but everytime someone has tried to tell me, i just couldn't get it.  Thank you so much!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. I appreciate the comment. Write anytime you have a question.

[aquamarinerings]

She is really good.

[kristine4christ]

that is sooooo cool

[kevinsteetee]

Awesome stitch. I was looking to make a scarve about the same size as the shell crochet scarve that you had posted, but I wasn't sure how to tell how many chains would be required. Any helpful hints?

[tjw1963]

You could try 23 chains. It really depends on how many chains you want and your individual crochet style.

[Resa77]

Hello

Ms.Teresa my ame is Theresa well anyway I really love ALL of your videos my question is i saw some crochet earrings on khandyissweet I'm so puzzled on how these are started and finished i know it has a curly cue in it but yet I'm still puzzled would you post a demo on them Thanks in advanced and stay Blessed!!!

[tjw1963]

I have sent you the link for the curly cue tutorial that I have posted.

[buffalobanditsrock]

can u post a video doing the popcorn stich left handed for my mom

[AngeloCalvin]

I love this stitch. Thankyou for posting your videos. I wouldn't have finished a first project if it weren't for you.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[ThreeArabianHorses]

thanks a lot for your work, i am learning and your explanation is realy simple and i liked it so much.

[tjw1963]

Thank you. :)

[urocyonc]

Great video! Thanks for the clear demonstration and explanation.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[fnasring]

Hi. On the second row, are you making the stitch in the middle of the popcorn stitch below it? Thanks.

[tjw1963]

Yes I am making it in the center of the previous popcorn on this practice swatch.

[bizeelizzie1]

i wish you would slow down abit please so i get chance to follow wat you r doing

[galaxydreams]

thats what the pause button is for :)

[Jackalind]

Hi, your tutorial is great, thankyou. Just wanted to let you know that English crochet terms are different. Dc is a treble here, sc is a double here, treble crochet is a double treble here, thought you may be interested

[tjw1963]

Thank you. I think I crocheted some English patterns at one time and discovered that something was not quite right.

[thegoodfaery]

I have watched 3 different videos already, and each of them showed a different method! YIKES

[tjw1963]

There are different ways to connect the popcorn stitch but there is only one popcorn stitch. There are other cluster type stitches that are similar to this stitch. The puff stitch, cluster stitch. There are many variations with different names and some techniques have several different names for the same stitch.

[jerth16]

what a nice explanation! and, the video is very clear! thank you for sharing what you learned and uploading this video!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. I appreciate your comments and feedback.

[drfrizerka]

i have watched so many videos of different crochet techniques, and i always come back to your video's. Very understanding. :)

[tjw1963]

Thank you for coming back. Please post your questions if you should need help.

[magacis]

Your videos and explantions are so clear! I was looking for this stitch. Thank you very much and greetings from Mexico City.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[adrianakills]

Im thinking baby blanket! :]

thank you soooo much!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome :)

[IDUDREAMBIG]

thanks for the wonderful demo!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[zshabana]

thankyou!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[Dottie227]

That's such a neat stitch lol I feel like making a popcorn blanket, maybe lining it with red, or start with a red then work into a popcorn stitch with yellow... YOUR AWESOME!!

[tjw1963]

Thank you. :)

[SayaTamas]

You are my hero !!! For real! I was looking for this -for the popcorn stitch - I had only the symbol but not the name and I tried to do it my self and I was really close . But I learned for your explication what I have to do ! .. You are great . I still have some symbols I need to find out what they mean and how to do them but I know I will find the trough your videos! Thanks a lot!!!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[wangie88]

Why do you put one popcorn directly on top of one on the bottom row? Shouldn't they be alternated? Also, you should slow down on this one and actually show the chain three from the bottom stitch on the turnaround and the one double crochet before the popcorn on the second row.

[tjw1963]

This tutorial is showing how to make the popcorn stitch alone and the three different ways to join it. You can put them on top of each other, alternate them or make your whole project with the popcorn stitch. I have seen the popcorn used in a variety of ways. If I should use the popcorn in a square, I will show the beginning and ending stitches.

[taynjaymyangels]

I just wanted to say Thank You for doing these videos! I have been learning from them! It's so helpful to actually see it being done rather than reading it in a book! Sincerely, Liz

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[montrealstars60]

I never heard of the popcorn stitch... thanks for showing us this wonderful video.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[darlingable]

how many stitches did you chain? great video by the way :)

[tjw1963]

Thank you. It looks like I may have done about 15 chains or so. I was showing the three ways to create a popcorn stitch so that is why I didn't mention the amount of chains.

[jewels2day]

This is the easiest video that I've seen so far about the popcorn stitch!!

[tjw1963]

Thank you.  :)

[brainwashedpotato]

u ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tjw1963]

Thanks. :)

[dannandstacey4eva]

You're probably my favorite person, ever...

[tjw1963]

Thank you.  :)

[stormynight49]

you make this look so easy,you do great work,thank you for sharing.

[babyashtheycute]

nice video! please send me also a video on how to make a bikini crochet like panty and bra! thank you

[tjw1963]

I have a video on decreases and increases which are used a lot in clothing. You will need to find a pattern, unique to yourself, with your own measurements, in order to do a bikini.

[babyashtheycute]

what will i type in search buttom if i want to see your video on how to make a bikini please help me i need to make a bikini for my friend before she go to in denmark! thanks

[tjw1963]

I don't have a video on a bikini. Go to google and do a search and type in crochet bikini. If a pattern exists, you can make it to your size. If I do a pattern for a bikini, it would be in my size and probably way to large for your friend. Clothing has unique measurements for each individual. My advise is for you to learn the crochet language so you will learn how to follow a pattern and adjust measurements.

[DoloresD]

beautiful I love all your videos and can't wait to try out all the new things i'm learning!

thank you so much!

Hugs

Dol

[tjw1963]

Thank you.

[babyashtheycute]

please send me also or make a video on how to make a bikini like bra panty made in crochet! thank you

[tjw1963]

I'm sorry but I don't have anything like that. I would suggest that you do a google search for what you are looking for.

[karlaXcolada]

Thanxs! looks like popcorn yum!

[beatlejn]

hello, is the popcorn stitch the same as a bobble stitch? if not, do you know how to crochet that? thanx

[tjw1963]

I am thinking it might be the same but I will do some research to see what the difference is if they are not the same.

[ivory142]

Hobby Lobby has a bunch of good yarns.

[tjw1963]

We don't have one here but we do have a Michaels and AC Moore. I just have not gotten over that direction lately.

[frecklehero]

yey I like red, red heart string.

[frecklehero]

thats realy bright yellow yarn

[tjw1963]

Yes it is bright. Lots of people say they like the brighter, lighter yarn because they can see it better. I have been looking for some alternatives in the store. Wal-mart does not have anything that will work right now so I will have to look someplace else. I will try to find something light and pleasing to the eye in the future.
