I didn't follow full instructions.. :/ I haven't been counting as I go up in rows and now I have 37 stitches. I started with 36 loops so I was suppose to do 35 SC for the first 7 rows. Will this greatly affect how the scarf will look?
@Caution777 It should not matter too much if you are only off by 1 stitch. Ripping out your work is a part of crochet. It's also known as frogging because you rip-it, rip-it! deciding when to rip it and when to ignore the mistake is up to you. I do frogging almost every day whether it's just a few stitches, or an entire piece.
I have been trying to teach myself to crochet and have no one to ask for questions. I also have to mirror everything since I'm left-handed. But seeing these videos help me so much and make things so much clearer than the diagrams in my book have ever made them. I can't thank you enough!
Thank you so much for this! I bought a crochet scarf kit that came with instructions and I couldn't understand it. This explains half-double crochet so well. Thank you again!
Your mention that single crochet tends to curl up has changed eight years of crocheting for me! I always assumed I had horrible technique because my crochet pieces--especially sc and synthetic fiber--like to curl in that same "corkscrew" pattern you show in the video. I felt so frustrated at myself and would only make projects with natural curves, like hats, to hide my embarassment. If only I knew before that yarn does this on its own and it's not totally MY fault! Thank you so much!
The best video for explanation and clear view of the crochet. The only downside is if you are a UK viewer you have to remember that the crochet terms are different in Britain e.g. single crochet USA = double crochet in UK.

I know. Sorry about that, but I had to choose. I am American, so...
I know many crocheters from Europe use the American terms because most of the free patterns on the net are in American terms.
