Thank you for instructing this stitch.

[fill9twos]

Hello,

Thanks for this tutorial.

Please make more!!

We crocheters need people like you.

[positanoqueen]

I tried to figure this out on my own, and was having a rough time until I found this video. Thank you so much for your very easy instructions, and explanations.

[icebear713i]

thank you so much for posting these very clear instructions! Yay!

[erindystonia]

@dragongrandma thankyou for creating this video because i just found a pattern that uses both these stitches and now i know how to do them. I had heard of them but couldn't remember how to do them. My friends are always telling me to google things so i did! thankyou again.

[JJBriskey]

Thank you! You are very easy to understand here, and using a different color yarn for stitches you are demonstrating is invaluable to me.!

[DragonGrandma]

I'm sorry but I have never heard of C4L & C4R. I'm going to have to google that. Do you have a pattern link?

[SuperBabbee]

My instructions call for C4Lover 4 fpdc and C4R over 4 fpdc. Do you have a video of these instructions. I think I can get the C4L but the C4R just boggles my miund. Marge

[WinterButterfly0i0]

Thanks so much for this video!! Most helpful video for fp bp stitches!!

[CNDGS5]

Thanks so much. For years I have avoided patterns that called for this stitch. But you did an amazing job of showing me how to do the stitches. No more avoiding those patterns!!!

[Motama]

I've looked at 3 or 4 other FPdc videos and I think you explain and demo the best. You've confirmed that I was doing it right. Thanks!

[DragonGrandma]

@Motama

Glad you found it helpful

[tropicsgoddess]

Great video and very easy to understand! :D

[peekabeaux]

thanks. I have been crocheting for a while and new how to do dc, but when my pattern called for fpdc and bpdc, I was lost. You made it very easy to understand.

[renoloverxoxo]

Thank you so much for posting this! I got an arm warmer pattern that requires both of these stitches and the written description didn't help me at all!

[DragonGrandma]

I'm so happy so many of you are finding this helpful. Thanks for all the kind comments.

[SRJohnston26]

Thank you this makes way more sense now....its about the 5th video I have watched and your the only one who explains what a post is....lol. I just taught myself how to do this when I got married and its always good to learn somehting new

[VSuarez2010]

Thank you sooooooo much! Seeing makes a lot more sense to me than reading the explanation. God bless you!

[mainehiker68]

Thank you! This is so clearly shown and explained. Now I am not afraid to try a new pattern. God bless you!

[scared5hitless]

great tutorial, you explained it very well. Thank You. I have one question, I just bought a crochet blanket that looks like this pattern , except the maker changed colors at every row, they also used single crochet at every 4 stitches, then double crochet causing the back side to have a totally different design. I cant figure out the exact name of the design so I took a picture and am using it as my profile pic. can you please tell me what the name of this pattern is. thanks you so much.

[mtorres1970]

This is an excellent tutorial! I was working on a square that called for these stiches but when I worked them it seemed the pattern was forming on the back (wrong) side of the square. I guess i should have turned the work before working them. On another note, is that FIMO clay around your aluminum hook? That is pretty clever!

[DragonGrandma]

I'm glad you find this helpful. Yes it is Polymer clay. I have done this to all of my hooks. It makes holding them less stressful and painful. I've even taken up working with thread again due to these handles.

[RebbyIsAnAngel]

Great simple video!

[protruther]

This is just a wonderful thing for an old lady who is attempting to re-learn (by teaching myself) how to do this stuff after 30+ years away from it.

Oh yes...it's just a wonderful thing - this modern technology so that experts can share their wisdom.

THANK YOU!!
