On the pattern: Does the 'single crochet total' include the increase single crochets as well?

[tjw1963]

@NyxSeraphim The increase is included with the stitch total. You can also find a link to the written instructions in the video details below the video.

[Mrsaeyon]

sorry. may i ask? what do you mean by individual on 1st two and on the third increase?

[tjw1963]

@Mrsaeyon This means you work one stitch in each of the first two stitches. The third stitch will be an increase, which is two stitches in the same stitch. The increase is done so the shape continues to expand and get larger, otherwise it would curl up early and make a small ball.

[Sakuraalvina]

Do you have to increase?

[tjw1963]

@Sakuraalvina You will have a very tiny ball if you don't increase.

@ThisGirlConnie I am not trying to do tutorials at a beginner pace. Each beginner is going to have their own pace so that is an unrealistic expectation. Once a person is familiar with stitches, the video will be extremely slow.

Tips for Beginners:

1. Be familiar with the beginner stitches

2. Pause and rewind

Great video but would give anything to be able to print out the instructions. I like to be able to refer to the video but I can't sit at a computer and crochet.

Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I found it easy to follow despite the fact I have very little crochet experience. Love my little white crochet ball :)

[bookbunny9]

Thank you very much for this wonderful video! I found it very easy to follow - the result of my labor (and your clear instructions) is a golden ball. Again, thank you!

I used this tutorial to make my niece a little octopus, but I don't have anything to stuff it with at the moment. If I used cotton balls do you think they would stand up to the wash?

[Kaysharayne970]

@tjw1963  I paused and rewinded like a million times and I didn't even get it.. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

@ShinyToyGuns101 I have this posted in left hand version.

@astroboy3002 i can even tell you that at this rate i have to fast forward it :)

[ROSA2286]

@astroboy3002 have you tried the pause and replay?? i learned that way and i dont say i'm a pro but shes a great teacher
