Standing Double Crochet - Joining Without the Slip Stitch and Chain! The Standing Double Crochet stitch is one I came to late – and I wish I’d known about it years earlier! It’s not a stitch that you’ll usually find specified in a pattern, and as such it has no standard abbreviation. What it is, is a technique – one that will allow you to start a new row on a crochet project without having to use the telltale “join with a slip stitch and chain 3” – and I can’t wait to share it with you! Video Tutorial: Standing Double Crochet – Right Handed Left Handed Photo Tutorial for the Standing Double Crochet Step 1: Hold the yarn end with the last two fingers of your hook-holding hand. So what do you think? NOTE: Several different people have now written to me, claiming that they invented this technique.
Ripple Blanket Know-how The Neat Ripple pattern is one of my absolute favourites for blanket making and over the years that I've been crocheting I've made several. Picture above from left to right :: Summer ripple :: Interlocking Colour ripple :: Coast Ripple I've already written a full step-by-step tutorial for working the neat ripple stitch which you can find HERE. ♥ For my blankets I generally use a DK weight acrylic yarn worked on a 4mm hook. ♥ I have used 15 x 100g balls of Stylecraft Special DK acrylic with a 4mm hook to make my Coast and Cottage ripple blankets. ♥ If you wish to make the blanket bigger ie to fit a double / king size bed, you will need to increase the number of stitches in your starting chain.....the starting chain should always be a multiple of 14, plus an extra 3. ♥ I'm writing this pattern in UK crochet terms, as follows :: sl st [slip stitch] :: insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch, then through the loop on your hook. YO, draw through 2 loops (2 loops on hook) 1.
How to Crochet 5: Seaming Your Work In this how-to series we could move right on from single crochet to the other stitches (double crochet, half double crochet and triple crochet) but I'm pausing to talk about "seaming" because if you want to make anything other than washcloths or rectangular scarves or afghans (which are all good) you're going to need to seam some pieces together. Seaming is a good skill to have and it can be the difference between a cute sweater looking handmade instead of homemade. I am going to share two different methods. The first is the invisible mattress stitch, which works equally well for knitting or crochet by the way, and the second seaming method uses a single crochet stitch. Click to view the full tutorial. SEAMING WITH THE MATTRESS STITCH: You will need a tapestry needle to do the seaming, which is a large blunt needle and a big eye for threading the yarn. The mattress stitch is so fabulous because it's virtually invisible if you line up the stitches correctly. That is the mattress stitch!

How to Crochet: Double Crochet with Beads By Robin Beers – 19 Comments The materials you need are crochet thread or yarn, beads and a needle. I am using larger beads here so I use a tapestry needle to string them onto my yarn. Note: If you are left handed, just put your mouse over the photo for a left-handed view. First string the beads onto your crochet thread or yarn. Begin crocheting the desired number of stitches, pushing the beads down out of your way. Yarn over, then insert crochet hook into the next stitch. Yarn over, pull loop through stitch. Yarn over and pull through 2 loops on the hook keeping the bead in place. Now bring the bead up from the back to the front of the work with your finger and hold in place. (Bring it around both loops, not through them.) Keep the bead secure in front with your finger while you yarn over and pull through the final 2 loops on the hook to complete the double crochet stitch. This is how you add beads to your double crochet work! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

How to crochet granny ripple I am sure many of you who can crochet fairly well may not know how to crochet a granny ripple. While I was crocheting my vibrant pillow 3 I thought I would make a tutorial on granny ripple but for some reason I couldn't do it then. Here it is now. Once you get started and go in the right direction granny ripples are fun to make, but getting started is what irks me a lot. The major problem here is deciding upon the number of chains to start with. So to start with, make chains of length that you desire. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Since some of you are having doubts about ending and starting a row I have included these additional instructions and photos to elaborate on them. In the above picture you can see that I have made 5 turning chains and made 3 dc (cluster) into the space between the two clusters in the previous row. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. The below picture shows the end of row 4. And end of row 5. Now you can see the edges of the pattern evolving. This post has won me an award
Lacy V-stitch Ripple Afghan This is a simple but elegant pattern for a throw. The sample is made in worsted weight, but it would work well with lighter weight yarns.

Materials: For lap blanket size, 400 grams/14 ounces/750 yards worsted weight yarn. Special stitches: V-stitch: in stitch or space indicated, 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc Shell: in stitch or space indicated, (1 dc, 1 ch) 3 times, 1 dc There is also a tutorial video.
