The Art of Crochet by Teresa - Crochet Multiple- Defining the Meaning

[ygfvtliutg7pohydh]

so what does it mean when its asking to ch multiples of 5 until the chianed length

[tjw1963]

@ygfvtliutg7pohydh 5 means that is how many chains it takes to complete each individual stitch. Most people don't end up withe the correct amount anyway but you should be able to get close.

Thank you so much for this video- I've been looking everywhere online for the meaning of multiples but none were as helpful as this! : )

[tjw1963]

@patrishoesstudio19 Thank you! 

[addyrain]

I think I'm starting to understand it know. Thanks for this video!

[tjw1963]

@addyrain I know is is confusing. It is an amount of stitches needed to complete a set of pattern stitches.

[MICKLYSS1]

can you please help me?? what does multiple plus something mean? i am new to crocheting and i would like to know if you can help me?

thanks

[tjw1963]

@MICKLYSS1 When you chain, there is an amount that will be needed for each pattern stitch. For example, when you make a basic shell, you will need 6 chains for each shell. 6 is the multiple. It will be different for each pattern stitch you work. The plus amount is done only once. It is the oddball amount of chains that will be needed to complete the pattern stitch. The plus amount makes sure that your work comes out even.

it's been such a very long time since the last time i crocheted... so it's kinda like i am starting all over again...

[tjw1963]

I bet you will get the hang of it pretty fast.

[mernik]

OMG Teresa... i don't get it... please help me... what do you mean by plus 1 and multiple... ? id really appreciate it... thank you

[tjw1963]

Have you tried working with a pattern stitch that requires a multiple?

[marisoleil]

i finally got it!!!

OMG!! thank you so much!

you are really great!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. This one of those AH-HA moments that once you get it, you will never forget the meaning of a multiple. It opens the door for interchanging stitches and making afghans without a pattern.

[gtpuser]

Can you please help me, with a video it will be great (hope I amo not asking to much but I don't know who can I ask to, they did explain me but i think I need to see). I am sorry and thank you very much.

I need to post it few times!

I am trying to make some slippers, I have tried but it didn't work.

I will post the instructions

[asoliarocks]

how does 2 dc into next 2 dc work? :( It's in the book I am reading.

[tjw1963]

I would think that would mean to do 2 double crochet in each of the next 2 double crochet. You are ending up with 4 double crochet by working 2 double crochet in 1 stitch.

[songie23]

this is a video that answer my question about the different type of crochet. Wow. But i still dont understand about the increase and decrease

[tjw1963]

I have a stripe hat video that I will send you the link to. It has a lot of increasing in it. Increasing is adding 2 or more stitch in the same stitch to give more fullness to the round. Decreasing is combining 2 stitches in to one, taking away and subtracting stitches to make something tighter in the round.  It will make more sense when you work an increase or decrease.

you are very very good tutor

[tjw1963]

Thank you. :)

[may141986]

Again thank you so much for your videos. In searching your video's I didn't find one that would answer the ? I have. For years I have avoided patterns that say do not turn in the pattern. I have a pattern that I really would love to make, but it has the do not turn in the instructions more than once. Could you please explain this? A video would be nice as well. I have tried a google search on this with no luck. Again thanks for posting these wonderful patterns and how too's.

[tjw1963]

Do not turn means that you are working in a round and you will have a right side of your work and a wrong side. When you make a circle or granny square, you get to the end of it and join. Then you will chain 3 and continue working in the same direction. The words, "Do not turn" just mean that you don't turn your work when you get to the end of the round. I can understand how the words are confusing.

[tjw1963]

When you crochet an afghan, you chain 3 at the end of your row, turn and then continue back across your afghan.

When you are crocheting in a circle, you chain 3 at the end of the round, then continue on in the same direction, not turning your work.

The afghan will be considered reversible because you turn. A hat will have an right side and wrong side because the stitches are worked in a round and in one direction.

[tjw1963]

I recently posted a stripe beanie cap. It is a good example of do not turn, although I don't feel it is necessary to use those words. You will not hear them used in the video tutorial. I am going to send you the video link.

you rock my newly crochet socks off! Thanks so much.

[komisobaba]

I have learned so much from you. Thank you for taking the time to teach us (lonely) women to sit and relax and do something for our souls, peace of mind and at the same time creating something for a beloved person. I never had anybody to teach me these things as a girl and I have learned so much from you. Thank you once again. Thank you Lord for tjw1963 and for the internet.

[tjw1963]

Thank you for your kind words. I am happy to be able to help people learn something new or get past a step where they may be struggling.

[tiggerbear3]

I like this one. how do I turn it around and what do I do next?

[tjw1963]

I have listed the turning in the details for the basic crochet stitchs. I need to work on the shell instructions and will have it listed soon.

[BabyButtaCup]

Being able to crochet is amazing for my confidence and I can't thank you enough for giving me the ability to create gifts for those I love too. You are such a wonderful woman. You are one of a kind on the internet and I thank God for you.

[BabyButtaCup]

How do you thank someone for giving all that you've given to your viewers? You have taught me things that on my own I would have never understood. You take time out of you schedule all the time helping us feel better about ourselves. You are a wonderful teacher!

[tjw1963]

Thank you so much for the kind words.
