How to Crochet in the 3rd Loop of Sc, Hdc, and Dc
You've probably heard of the front loop and the back loop of crochet stitches. But what about the 3rd loop?
As a refresher, the front loop and back loop are the two loops at the top of the stitch. The 3rd loop is on the back side of the stitch, just below the loops at the top. It depends slightly on the stitch, so in this video tutorial, I'll show you the 3rd loops for single crochet, double crochet, and half-double crochet.

How to Join Double Crochet Rounds With an Invisible Seam
มุมมอง 11K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
The standard way to start a round of double crochet (dc) stitches is to make 3 chains. Then, when you come back around to finish the round, you slip stitch to the top of the chain-3 and then make another 3 chains to start the next round. The problem is that the ch-3 does not look like the rest of the double crochet stitches in the round, and the slip stitch to join the row creates a noticeable ...
Three Alternatives to the Turning Ch-3 for Double Crochet
มุมมอง 2.6K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
The standard way to start a row of double crochet (dc) stitches is to make 3 chains at the end of the previous row, and then turn. This "turning ch-3" is then meant to be the first dc of the next row. The problem is that the turning ch-3 does not look like the rest of the double crochet stitches in the row, and it also leaves an unsightly gap between the ch-3 and the stitch next to it. Watch th...
How to Single Crochet Without Making a Chain First
มุมมอง 1.1K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
The longer I crochet, the more I find myself trying to avoid making a foundation chain to start a project. They are kinda boring, easy to miscount, and they end up being too tight and can distort your project. Plus, foundation chains look different than the final row, so you often need to add a border to hide them. Luckily, there is an alternative: Foundation stitches, where you create the chai...
How to Crochet a 5-Point Star Granny Square
มุมมอง 62711 หลายเดือนก่อน
Last year, I wrote a pattern for a Christmas Tree Afghan that was made with different granny squares. One of the granny squares is the 5-point star that sits on top of the decorated tree. As you'll see, fitting a 5-point star into a 4-sided granny square was quite the tricky feat! The instructions for a couple of the rows are very detailed and can be a little tough to follow on paper. So, I mad...
Avoid Distorted Crochet Stitches With Foundation Shells
มุมมอง 325ปีที่แล้ว
In crochet, a group of 3 or more stitches (usually double crochet) in the same stitch or space is often called a Shell. When multiple stitches go into the same spot, it looks like a seashell at least I assume that's where the name comes from! The effect is often a pretty texture. However, the more stitches that make up the shell, the more distorted the stitch or space you're crocheting into can...
How to Crochet the Cord Stitch
มุมมอง 805ปีที่แล้ว
I was playing around with yarn one day, looking for a way to make a raised ridge texture that was more interesting than the Ridge Stitch (single crochet in the back loop only). And then I found it A stitch that looks like you've sewn a braided cord right on the front of your stitches! I call it, unsurprisingly, the Cord Stitch. The Cord Stitch is a 2-row repeat, in which the first row creates t...

Whilst thinking about an autumn blanket I started to make leaf squares but I couldn't settle. So for reasons only know to the universe, I searched mitered squares and landed on your Facebook page, which took me to your TH-cam channel and this amazing feather pattern (though I'm going to say leaf pattern 😊) because it fits my needs. It's so unusual and I can't wait to get started. You know when you feel something good just happened and your search is over? Well this is that moment. So thank you for your "autumn leaf" pattern 😉 and the wonderful way you have demonstrated the method. Have a great day. 🍂
Funny, this stitch was originally inspired by leaves. Happy crocheting!
Where do you get your beads? Are they glass? I'm having a really hard time finding glass beads with a big enough hole to crochet with.
These are plastic beads. I bought them on Amazon. They have a 4mm hole and I use a 3.75mm hook. amzn.to/47Ly1vn
Thanks for the information n can it be used as a sweater or Cardigan
Yes, definitely
Very nice ❤❤❤❤
Thanks 😊
Thank you! I’ve been crocheting for a few years now, learning everything from TH-camrs and I’ve got to say, hands down; you’re the best instructor I’ve found! I love that you don’t have music in the background playing, you have a solid dark background with contrasting color of yarn and hook so I can actually SEE what you’re doing!! And I don’t have to slow down or constantly pause and replay as you teach at a normal pace!! Thank you! Thank you! Wonderful teaching! Subscriber for life!
Wow, thank you!
My magic circle is still not flat 😢
Try starting with 8 stitches instead of 6 and increase 8 per row using the same method.
❤ beautiful, can't wait to try
Thank you! 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🥰
So thankful to find this. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Love this! Thanks for easy tutorial ❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you !!!!!
You're welcome!
Would love more of these….
Thanks for watching!
wait so if i start with 8sc in the first round, do i increase by 8 stitches every round?
Yes! 👍
@@changepathcrochet thank you!
Thank you! That’s awesome
You bet!
Hello there Not a native speaker so had a lil confusion Correct me if I'm wrong We do 6 single stiches and increase 6 stiches in the 2nd layer by going 2 single stitches in 1st stiches And then in 3rd layer we go one single and other one double and in 4th one we go both double stiches or what
Yes, continue to increase the number of stitches between the increases by 1 in each row.
Very cool! Thanks for this! Going to use it now for edging on the strap of my water bottle holder 😊
Great idea!
This is stunning! Do you have a full tutorial? I love how the beads are not the “centerpiece”. Thank you!
Thanks! I don’t have a tutorial video, but the step-by-step pattern is available in my shops. www.changepathcrochet.com/product/beadedblissblanket/
oh my god please do make a full tutorial! Id love to make this, Id even pay for the video instead of the pattern 😅
Yes please!! I’d also pay for a video tutorial!!

Thank you again for sharing this brilliant variation on foundations. I find my chains to be fiddly as each time I pass my hook through a new chain it pulls the next one tighter - so I’m constantly using reverse tweezers to push the loop open again - this will save me a ton of time - now off to apply this to a waffle stitch swatch / washcloth test for something bigger.
Yup, crocheting into the foundation chain is the worst part of a crochet project. This is much better!
Imagine how for decades we’ve labored in our crafts only to find out relatively recently how toxic microplastics are. Wrapping our babies in beautiful plastic blankets - inhaling, chewing, and swallowing microplastics from our first breaths… but even before that we weren’t safe, because our mothers all had microplastics in them from birth, too. Right back to the advent of plastics. Trying to avoid it nowadays is like trying to avoid blue sky, or leaves, or O2 molecules. JFC what have we done? Why are we continuing to do it, given the science? (This is not a condemnation of this fine lady’s craft or her teaching, but a cry to everyone to stop using plastics, or at least minimize them to uses where nothing else is useable and it’s a life or death situation. Not for mankind’s sake only, but for all life. Not sure why I really bother writing treatises such as these - the tropical rainforests are burning, the methane-packed permafrost is melting and entire ice shelves are cleaving at horrific rates, water off the coast of FL, USA reached a surface temp of 104°F recently, river dolphins in the Amazon river are literally cooking in the water. The rich are prepared to rule the dwindling masses of mankind, as they’ll always have pure water, air, and the infrastructure to maintain generations of their choosing. Amazon, owned by Jeff Bezos, tripled its carbon footprint over the last year or so…) Forgive me, or help it burn - almost dunno what to do anymore. On the bright side, I have less time to worry about this stuff than I have had in the past! :). Can’t we use various wools, or silks, or plant fibers, or blends of any and all the above, to make fabrics that are generational works of art, renewable, non-destructive of their ultimate source (the animals {silk moth larvae excepted, of course, then again, maybe the larvae are edible after they’re cooked out of their cocoons? })
I try to use natural fibers whenever I can for this reason. Unfortunately my yarn stash is still primarily acrylic. 🥲
@@changepathcrochet I melted all mine with a torch and sent it to the landfill. Replaced with hemp and cotton and a bit of alpaca so far. My kitchen is mostly plastic-free, but still a bit to go. The plastics in fabrics really have me freaked out because it’s purposefully made to be micro/nano, like polyester plush, is terribly soft. All the stuffed animals given babies… I really do find it horrifying.
Thank you for sharing 😊❤
Thanks for watching!
Does the inc of 6 still work on circles which start with more initial 6 dc(us sc).
If you start with more stitches, you should increase by that number of stitches in each row. So if you start with 8, increase by 8 in each row.
@@changepathcrochet that is what I thought but 8 is not divisible by pi or any where close
So satisfying ❤
It’s worth the extra effort!
Hi there! Would you release the written pattern for this? I'd love to have this on my wall and I'm still a little confused about the staggering. I'd also love how to know how to end my in-the-round circle when I'm finished :-) thanks for the video, super helpful!
I've just added the written pattern in the accompanying blog post here: www.changepathcrochet.com/the-secret-to-making-a-flat-circle-with-single-crochet/ (see the sidebar). To finish off the circle, you can either slip stitch in the next stitch and fasten off, or you can do an invisible join. You basically cut and pull the yarn through the final stitch, and then weave it under the loops of the next stitch, and back through the top of the final stitch. I don't have a tutorial for that (yet) but there are a lot out there. The invisible join will have a smooth edge while the slip stitch will leave a bump.
@@changepathcrochet Thanks so much! Your tutorial helped me create something I’m really happy with!
@@Vivi-Mage I'm so glad!
Love love your videos!! Gotta get TH-cam to put you at the tip top of all searches! Very very impressed with your teaching methods & simplicity. Also your humbleness ❤. Please don’t change when we see you with over 500k & above! Aloha❤❤
Aw, thanks! 😊
Wow! Thank you😊
You're welcome 😊
Math student here: Actually this has nothing to do with pi, it cancels out in the calculation. The ratio between the height and width of the stiches is also unimportant (and this technique does work with other stiches). What matters is, that in the ratio between the radius of the n-th and n+1-st round is (n+1)/n. Hence, since the the circumference is 2π times the radius, the ratio of the circumferences of the n-th and n+1-st round is also (n+1)/n (here the 2π cancels out). This is a recursive relation for the circumferences of each round and tells us, that each round the length of round 1 must be added. Since we started with 6 stitches, this implies, that each round 6 stitches must be added.
Fascinating, thank you for taking the time to explain this phenomenon (truly). I believe that pi is still relevant in the first row -- to get a flat circle, you typically start with 6-8 stitches, which is related to the length/width of the stitches being about equal and multiplying by 2π, no? If you start with 4 stitches, you will get a cone shape, and if you start with 10 it will create a wavy parabola (or something like that). So maybe pi is not totally irrelevant here.
You're totally right, the number of stitches in the first row depends on the ratio between the height and width of a stitch and π. Just how you explained.
I love this tutorial! 🌸 But how do you end the circle? Like when you're done? Do you make a slipstitch into the first stitch?
Thanks! You can end with a slip stitch to the first stitch of the final row, or if you want to not have an obvious stitch there, you can do an invisible join. I don't have a tutorial but there are lots of videos out there that show how to do it.
Very cool! 😃
Thanks! 😄
Now that's what I'm talking about, trying to do it backward, here I'm pulling out yarn, mess.. Thanks for this❤❤
I know, right? Enjoy this easier stitch!
I will be most certainly watching the long form video THIS WEEK! Oh my goodness, this channel is the equivalent of winning the crochet lottery!!! 😃🎉
Wow, thank you! Now I'm going to have to make more videos! 😅
LOL- when you got to the pi part, all I could think of was how this crochet piece is SHAPED like a PIE as well! 🤣🥧
Now I want pie! 🥧
One hundred percent INSTANT SUBSCRIBE from ME- I literally NEEDED THIS. No joke, was fed up with going through a dozen of opinionated nonsensical videos that got me nowhere (other than half a dozen snarled up "row 1 fails" that I couldn't even unstitch to repurpose the yarn...) This was pleasant, easy to follow and understand, backed up with a link to a written pattern... and don't take this the wrong way, but your voice is giving "Boss Ross" vibes of crochet, in the best way possible 😊 Thanks again, oh-so-much Fawn 🩷
Glad it was helpful! I’ve been told I have a soothing voice before, but I’ve never been compared to Bob Ross! 😊
This was the only tut that helped me. ILYSM ahhh
🥰 happy to help!
But it is not flat!!!! It has a bump in the middle!!!!
Try starting with 8 stitches instead and increase 8 per row using the same method.
Excelente ya no más cadenas, y así el trabajo se mucho mejor 👌
Yes, it’s worth the extra effort to make it look better!
Staggering increases is such a good idea, I’ve never thought of that!
Glad to help you discover a new method!
Excelente, gracias ahora re ien me saldrá perfecto 🎉

Excellent information. I am trying to crochet a flat brim for a fedora, but the yarn I desire to use, does not match the yarn for the pattern, so my brim keeps curling. The Pi explanation gives me a direction to go in for calculating my own stitch increase ratio. It won’t be exact, as my brim isn’t a perfect circle, but it’ll be better than trial and error. Thank you.
Good luck! Sounds like a cool project.
how do u do it with single crochet?
The join method is the same for single crochet. For the first stitch, you could just chain 1 and then single crochet in the stitch where you joined.
