Thank you very much, I learned something new today! I'm thinking of making a rug using this stitch and to make my project finishes faster I'm going to use dc or hdc with the non loop row, hope it'll works!

[June Gilbank]

Lily, that will work, but, if you use taller stitches, your rows of loops will be spaced further apart and your rug may not be as plushy as you'd like. I'd recommend you try making a small swatch with some rows of sc, some of hdc, and some of dc, and see which you like best before starting the rug!

Hi June, great video! I saw a picture of a sheep done this way but can't figure out how to do amigurumi in the round since the loops would be on the inside, right? Seems like I would need to flip it inside out. Do you have a video showing how to do these loops in a magic ring/circular? Any help appreciated, cheers!

[June Gilbank]

That's right, Cleo, just flip your work so it's what we'd conventionally call 'inside out', so all your loops are on the outside. It's the reverse of what I show in my "Which is the 'Right' side" video, so you can watch that to see how you'll crochet 'inside out' (in this case you'll be looking at the first part, with the hook at the back, before I flip the piece).

thank you for the video. i have a questin though...im making an amigurumi giraffe for my 1 year old daughter and was thinking of using a loop stitch to make the mane. now if she pulls on these loops will it affect the project..or come loose?? thank you.

[June Gilbank]

It should be fine, Julie - the loops are knotted in place by your crochet stitches, so you can't just pull them out.

Thank you for such a clear video, now training time to get those loop nice and even.
