Love this video and your instruction is a wonderful bridge to written patterns (which have always confused me) I am more of a visual learner, and your videos have helped me re-learn how to crochet and now is igniting the desire to learn how to make crocheted lace. Any recommendations on learning lace? Thank you once again!

Depending on your eyesight, it may be challenging to see where to put your stitches. I have purchased some inexpensive ($2.00) reading glasses for reading the tiny instructions and if I find it challenging to see where to put the hook. Good light is also helpful to see the stitches.

Thank you so much for posting this. It was very informative and a great way to learn :)

I am glad you like it, thank you.

how could i translate this pattern to bigger yarn?

[tjw1963]

Work the pattern with yarn and an appropriate size crochet hook. You may need to add more chains if it pulls to much.

Hi Teresa! I just wanted to let you know that I've watched this video before, and I bought crochet cotton in hopes of learning how to crochet with thread, but it hurt my hands too much, so I just dug out some light worsted weight yarn and made it. It looks so pretty! Thank you so much! I'm just going to make them bigger. I'm not a newbie, so I think it will be pretty easy. Going to make my mom some doilies to put under her living room lamps for Christmas since the old ones are showing their age.

can you please make a tutorial on how to join doilys to make a table cloth??

i think you go a little too fast..

Thank you so much! I have not crocheted since I was small. Recently I decided since I was a granny (41 yrs young) I should be making my little grand-babies blankets, hats, socks, and so on. I am gradually finally making blankets as apposed the capes (I guess I was dropping a stitch each row...LOL). I have made a couple of "doilies", but am wondering how I keep from the doiley getting all rumpled (like it should drape over something). How do I increase stitches? Each row, every other row?

[nwbritt]

great video but i was wondering is there anyway to make this bigger?

[1959djt]

Your videos are great! I have trouble following written patterns. I just saw another video done by Frances Johnson for the popcorn pinwheel bedspread and bought the pattern. Would you consider a tutorial for this pattern?

[laiphamthanhhien]

I love this video. It's really useful. :D
