Thanks for the comments! I was afraid this was too long and boring. It's good to know it was worth the time. :)

I've been crocheting for a bit over a year now and have had trouble understanding certain patterns. Your video cleared up several things for me. Thanks so much!! Have you, in your experience, ever come across a pattern that you just can't understand?? Happens to me quite often. :-(

[Bethintx1]

Absolutely! Some patterns make no sense at all and I end up looking at the picture and make my own version of the pattern.

Am able to read a pattern but some only have a drawing that I can't read.

Will do a search .

You are my favorite teacher.

Happy hooking,

I have been crocheting only a few months now and watching the videos made it easy. I wanted to branch out and try some book patterns but they looked like Greek until I watched your video. I hope to be able start a project from a pattern soon. Thank you.

Thanks for the explanation. Just started learning to crochet 2 days ago and the patterns have been confusing. This definitely answered some of my questions. I'll also check out your site. Thanks so much!

I learned to crochet as a child but NEVER learned to follow patterns. I'm working with my second pattern ever right now and this video was a huge help.
