[MegaRoyalbee]

i give you two tumbs up love it, i am a begginer

[tjw1963]

@MegaRoyalbee Thank you. I will send you the beginner playlist, which is a helpful tool for learning the basic crochet stitches.

[SooticasDream]

Great video, but would just like to mention that the abbreviations in the video are for US terms, if you are reading a British pattern the terminology will be different. :)

Thank you so much for the eplanations :) I just recieved a bunch of vintage 1950 crochet books. Now i can work some of them.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. The vintage books have some great patterns. A crochet pattern from 70 years ago is still very functional today.

thnx4 the fast reply teresa , but a 4.5 mm hook is the largest i could find , i use an acryl ( acrylique) yarn , should i use another material , such as what , i mean what do u use ? =D

[tjw1963]

I use a size I or 5.5mm hook and 4-ply acrylic yarn for most demonstrations.

[losersclass]

AWESOME TERESA ,ur videos r so gr8 , but i hav a problem wiz my crochet , my stitches r so small n close 2 each other , i use a 4.5 mm hook , does it depend on the hook n the material anyway ? i know u can fix it ..=D

[tjw1963]

I would recommend using a larger crochet hook and maybe even yarn. It is possible that you may be crocheting tight. Your materials will cause you to create tighter stitches.

[Girlinacafe]

Just want you to know your Amazing! You taught me how to crochet!

[tjw1963]

Thank you. :)

[380364]

thank you SO MUCH!

very easy to understand

explained so clearly

thank your for this video

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[cristy2410]

First let me thank you SO MUCH! for your wonderful tutorials! I learned how to start crocheting from you :)

About the diagrams, this video made things a bit clearer, but there are some that seem impossible to do! E.g 3 chains and then on top 7 db crochet st., how do you work that? Would you be so kind to make more video/s explaining how to knit following the diagrams? Thank you so much for your kindness in sharing your knowledge! You got me motivated to learn more and more! Thank you Theresa!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. What is a 7 db crochet stitch? Sometimes the stitches have several different names for the same stitch. I have not heard of db.

[cristy2410]

Sorry, I meant double :)

[sweetmongoliangirl]

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[1PoeticBeauty]

Wow you rock :-)!!! Do you happen to have a video where it shows how to read crochet patterns for shrugs or a video making a shrug?

[tjw1963]

I also have additional crochet abbreviations on my crochet blog.

[TheFlyingPoptart]

I found a pattern for a really cute crochet cupcake, but I still dunno how to make it from the directions given. Confused I am...help? ._______.

[tjw1963]

You should have a chain and then a first row. Just concentrate on the first row and don't read through the rest of the pattern until you have completed the first row.

[mac21268]

I've recommended your tutorials to my sister who needs to brush up on her crochet skills. You are far batter at teaching than I could ever be. Thanks for taking the time to keep this amazing craft alive. :)

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[Tyzue]

Wow, I've been looking all over youtube all day for someone who explains is well. I used to crochet when i was younger (8 years ago) and I remember the simple things but I can't remember how to read the patterns for the life of me. I've been trying to reteach myself and some of these patterns are just so hard to read. Not so much what the abbreviations mean, but what the next step is. I sometimes read the next step and go "wait, how do I go from point A to point B?"

Thank you for your videos!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[lonelygirl132]

um what does it mean to remain? and thank you for this vidoe i thought i was going to go out of my mind trying to figgure this stuff out

[tjw1963]

The abbreviation is REM = Remain-remaining-remainder.Rem­ain is used in a couple of different ways. It could be used for Remaining Round or Remaining Stitches. There should be detailed instructions guiding you to how it is being used. A lot of crochet patterns are just repeated wording and stitches. Sometimes the pattern may say to continue in the remaining stitches. Continue throughout the remainder of the round.

[rockerlim]

what does tr mean?

I was doing this shrug and i got stuck.

[tjw1963]

I am thinking it would be triple crochet. Usually you will see abbreviations for triple crochet as TC or TRC.

[smartbamboo]
