Jus curious, why are there many 'moss' stitches. I've seen one w/alternating sc & hdc on a row. At new row u do opposite...meaning where u had a sc on prior row u now put hdc & where u had hdc u now put sc. I would appreciate if it wasnt different ones though. I like ur moss st A LOT better! Thank u for sharing : )
New to your channel. I have crocheted a few blankets using just aa simple chain stitch, trying to branch out and learn a new stitch. I tried to make a sample following what you've shown, my work does not have a rectangular shape like yours, mine looks more like a spiral staircase, haha! My stitches are loose and even. Hmm .. need to watch the video a few more times to see if I can figure it out.
@@virginiaseedsskogen2038 Did you forget the chain stitchs when you turn to start a new row or miscount ? You need to make sure they are a consistent size as well . Watch your tension as you make those final stitches at the end of the row chain one, two etc as you end turn and follow directions. If the tension is even and chain size consistent you will have a " squared " edge on the following row . Good luck !
I was wondering if this was beginner-friendly, thank you for sharing! I usually knit but have tried chaining, single crochet, and double crochet using a different beginner video and enjoyed myself, so I’m SUPER excited to try this now. As a knitter I love simpler repeats and “meditative” projects, bonus points if it turns out looking surprisingly fancy like this does! I have a feeling this will begin my crochet journey 🧶
hello Judith, like o know how many stitches is needed for small baby blanket? I want to make a small new born baby blanket for my grandson . Your reply will be appreciated . Thank you so much
One of the best and clearest crochet videos ever. Your explanations are clear, simple, and not rushed, with lots of repeats - something most of us need, especially at row-ends. Your colour changes are high-contrast, so easy to follow, and your background colour lets the work stand out. Bravo.
I can only second these and all the comments on this video. I learned to crochet in lockdown but found the dark yarn/dark background (and garbled voice overs) made it so difficult to see and understand in so many videos. Heartfelt thank you for the obvious thought you put into constructing your videos. From a knitter of 63 years who finally gave in and learnt to crochet 😆 Good luck with all you do!
It was so lovely to log on after the past month or so of house moving/unpacking and sorting to see this comment. Thank you so so much and to everyone who liked it too.🥰🤗
@@HookedbyRobin that you can't knit made me smile! I occasionally work as sample knitter for one of the big UK yarn companies, and been knitting since I was 6, so it's been a way of life. I can't quite put into words the differences between knitting and crochet, but I do like that I have to concentrate more and therefore my noisy mind quietens down so it's very therapeutic. I'm planning next to do a blanket in your "one stitch" using leftover yarns in my stash. I'm not very good at putting colour together so who knows how that will turn out! Hope you are sorted after your house move. 🧶
I've been self teaching crochet for years and the moss stitch is probably my favorite visually. There's no gaps and it's a visually flowing pattern (your eye won't get stuck on any one visual aspect of it) and it's very uniform in density
I appreciate your clear tutorials, taking the time to explain and show us the stitch. I’m always looking for simple stitch patterns. This will be great for blamkets. Thank you! 😊

@@HookedbyRobin Thanks, Robin. I'm a lefty also. I did not know there were left-handed tutorials out there. Haven't looked for them since there weren't any when I first started crocheting 50 plus years ago. But like another lefty I know, after all these years of learning from right-handed tutorials, I would probably get confused watching a left-hand tutorial!! lol. But...I am going to check out the site you referred to. Maybe I'll like it. I'll definitely check out the tutorial on weaving in the ends...which I HATE. Thanks
The blue background makes it easy to follow your stitching and color changes. I've only been Crocheting for a year but I truly, truly love it. I've been commissioned to do my 2nd baby blanket and I'm definitely using the Moss stitch. Thank for posting and inspiring 🥰
Robin, you have the best crochet channel. I have learned the waffle stitch, moss stitch, trinity stitch and many more from your videos. You break everything down and don't rush through your tutorials like others do. You are the only channel I go to, to learn new crochet stitches.
As a visual learner, once my Nanny was gone, books couldn't help. It's like learning a new language! Your video taught me in minutes what I've always wanted to create! Thank you ❤
As someone almost completely new to crocheting, I watched this tutorial one before buying a crochet hook today and my second rewatch I tried following along with black yarn and it was a disaster 😂 but now on my 4th rewatch I tried in a light gray yarn and I’m really proud of the result 🤩🤩🤩 so to everyone else who might struggle, try with a light colored yarn 🤩 it’s way easier to see what you’re doing 🙈 thank you so much for this tutorial 🤩🤩🤩
It might also help (as it did beginner me) to place a white cloth on your lap as you crochet with dark yarn. Welcome to this fabulous hobby! You're gonna love it. 🥰
Like Miss Kate said, the fact that you didn't just assume we'd get it right away with just a quick row, really makes a difference. Because you cared enough to take your time and make sure we could understand completely, I'm now able to confidently make my five-year-old granddaughter beautiful matching blankets for her and her much love teddy for Christmas. The look on her face will be my gift this year, and I wanted to thank you very much for that. God bless, take care, and PLEASE continue to make these videos, bc I, for one, will choose to watch and learn from them, rather than attempt to do so from anyone else's.
This tutorial is perfect for beginners, just the right speed, and easy to understand. I am going to start a throw tonight, using this lovely stitch. Thank you, can't wait to watch your other videos. 🌻
I appreciate your ability to choose contrasting bright colors. I never want to see a tutorial with dark yarn, personally. I'm trying to see what's happening! And the color change helps me understand what's happening with the stich more. Most helpful moss/linen stitch tutorial for that extra detail. And it's actually in HD.
Love everything about this tutorial, the large size hook and yarn making it so clear to see exactly what you are doing, the clear instructions and the filming against a good contrast background. Thankyou
Hi! I’m new to your channel, just came across it. What brand of yarn are you using and what number hook. I’ve never crochet before and love how clear you explain. Thank you!
I love your tutorials and how you explain as you go, and I also love that you pretty much jump right into your tutorials and if you don’t you tell us when we can
I agree. I also like that you'll show the stitch work on your completed project. So many flip it around that I can't see what the work should look like when it's worked correctly. Plus, I like that you use a neutral nail polish. There was one from someone else who had a pattern on hers and it was very disorienting.
@@mehchocolate1257 if you use the website www.mirrorthevideo.com it flips any video on TH-cam into a mirror image which will show the crocheting left handed for you 😃🧶
Thank you thank you thank you for going soooo slowly and not assuming we know. Brilliant Truly thank you Robin beautiful stitch lovely yarn too. I’m fed up of videos showing three stitches and then say pause the video and comeback after you’ve done 15 rows!! 😂😂 I’ll be watching all of your tutorials please don’t stop xx 🥰
Hi Jaynie, I know what you mean!😂 I used to teach workshops face to face before this, so I wanted the experience to be similar. Crocheting along together! Definitely won’t be stopping videos but still in post house move unpacking/sorting zone.🫣
I love this stitch. It was also my mother’s favorite. I always just crochet over the tails when I change colors because I hate going back to weave them in, especially when I’m working on a big project.
I use the moss stitch for my "scrapghans" because it's easy to change colors, and it works like a dream! I've been crocheting for over 50 years, but I learn something new almost every time I watch your video. Thanks! Love from Alabama, USA❤
@amydickinson2043 The starting chain has to be an even number, but you need to add one as the starting stitch. If you don't, your starting chain will be 1 short, making it uneven.
I haven't crocheted in years... I started back last week... I can't wait for my shift to wrap out so I can go home and make a thick lapghan!!! This tutorial is AWESOME!!
Moss stitch is one of my faves! Just made a blanket where you do 2 rows with the same color so it looks like a sawtooth pattern. I’ve made many moss stitch blankets lol
@@kathryngannon485 You can give them to people you cherish like friends or family. If you have too many, then you can consider donating them. Hope this helped💜
@@lilianastalinska3515 i normally make around 100 to 200 chains, depending on the weight of the yarn and size hook.( With bulky yarn it takes less chains)To be honest, i normally just eyeball it and just chain until I'm satisfied with the size.
I’m in love! This stitch is soft and squishy and Pretty! This will take a while to make a sweater, but it will be like wearing a fuzzy teddy bear ( without the pieces that tickle your nose & make you sneeze).
I learnt how to crochet purely from your tutorials! They're easy to follow and clear but most of all, you don't just stop after demonstrating the stitch. I like seeing you do a few rows as it helps get the learning to stick and gives you a feel of how the work should be looking. I've watched many tutorials and get overwhelmed with the jargon and waffle used, your videos make every stitch clear, concise and most of all, exciting! Can't wait to try this one! Thank you for all you do ❤️
You are a star, i have been trying to get back into crocheting but been struggling to find a clear, consise, and visually appropriate way to "re-learn". You and your videos are IT, thank you so much I am truley greatful for this ❤️
I love this too, Robin. It is truly beautiful in any yarn and color or many colors. Thank you so much for this tutorial, I’m always confused on how to start and end a row. You’re the best 🥰
Oh, this is my go-to stitch for blankets! You can easily put a pattern in both ends and it stitches up so quickly yet looks beautiful and drapes fantastic. I’m working on a blanket in this stitch for my daughter in law right now. My only difference is that I do a starter row of single crochet first and then jump into the moss stitch. Great video, thank you!
I love this stitch! I saw it in some patterns on social media and now thanks to your video I know the stitch name and how to make it 😊 Thanks a lot!! Only one question: I’m thinking of crocheting a table runner with it. Is there any way to work edges with this stitch so that it looks clean and neat on the sides? Thanks!
Couple of things maybe? 1. Run a row of slip stitches along the edge then use those as the basis for a border. I made a shawl with this as the basic stitch and doing that gave a beautiful edge - I just crocheted a couple of rows of SC but you can make it as simple or as complicated as you want. 2. Start each row off with a set number of SC - say, four singles then start your moss stitch. Then you have the border incorporated. But slip stitches are deffo your friend for borders, even for a messy learner like me 🤗 I've tried both but I like the slip stitch version for the cleanest border, especially if you're using mixed stitches. And I'm only a beginner so if I can do it you'll be able to with your eyes closed! I can't link other tutorials, that wouldn't be fair. But Robin did a moss stitch shawl on here and she shows you how to put a neat edge on. Alternatively, try searching terms like finishing, preparing for a border etc. etc.
This stitch has been recommended to me a lot! I'm so glad to see a tutorial from you, yours are always so clear and make me feel confident enough to try new things.
I’m still working on my blanket but can tell it will be beautiful! Thank you Robin! I’m a new crocheter and love it so much! I’ll be learning more from you soon! 😊
Another beauty of a stitch that you’ve brought to us, Robin!! I can see this stitch used in many projects!! Thanks so much for keeping us crochet savvy, Robin! You’re one fantastic instructor! Take care! 💕🤗
I love this stitch, too! It’s great for all kinds of yarns as well as all kinds of colors. Thanks for demonstrating change of color at the end of the row. It’s a very useful technique and helpful for using up our leftover yarn.
Thank you for spending time with us so patiently. And thank you for your clear instructions. Such a pleasure to watch the stitches from the pattern. Well done
I'm so so happy that you mentioned and explained how to change colors. I found your vid while looking for stitch ideas for a temperature blanket, so I'm gonna be changing colors a lot. I can't wait to start!
Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I love your tutorials and patterns. 😍 Your voice is so calm and soothing, it makes listening to your explanations so enjoyable.
I’m preparing to start a temperature blanket, and I was looking for a fun, new stitch to use that was quick and easy, yet pretty. THIS is it!! Thank you so much for your excellent tutorial!
I was thinking the same! Gonna work on a new temperature blanket soon and didn't want to use the same stitch as the one I'm work on right now! I think im sold on this one!
OK, maybe this is a dumb question, but what is a temperature blanket? I do agree this tutorial is the best, I'm attempting to teach myself how to crochet from watching videos. This is one I think I could actually do. My problem right now is I'm missing stitches even over the chain. I bought a neck lamp that I'm hoping will help.
Wow! Love this! Thank you! I'm just finishing up a blanket of double crochet but I really love the look of this stitch. Definitely going to work this stitch. Easy enough for sure.
I just started my moss stitch blanket. It is turning out so good! I’m using greens browns and yellows and planning to put sunflower appliqués on it. I have been crocheting for years! This is the first time I have ever used the moss stitch and it is already one of my favorites! ❤ Awesome tutorial. Your voice is very easy to hear and understand.
Im chronically ill and cant work as well as do a lot of regular things so im always looking for new things i can try to occupy my mind. I started learning last week but really got into it yesterday and i cant stop! Its been so therapuetic and once i understand its a lot easier. This stitch is so pretty but also seems easier to follow than others so im excited to try this out!
Hi Rosabeana, I am so pleased you have managed to pick up crochet so quickly as it is the best. I hope you enjoy this stitch, it is a lovely one especially for blankets.😃🥰
@@HookedbyRobin I started trying it last night but my eyes arent the best so i think i missed a few stitches as my work is a bit lopsided now ahaha But its a fun stitch and im going to keep practising! Im going to try making a blanket for my cat :)
I've been crocheting off and on for decades but only recently found the joys of this stitch. It goes quickly, is easy, and makes a nice fabric for just about anything, including blanket borders.
I just picked this up a few days ago and thinking making a scarf would be an easy start. I’ve practiced some basics already and I’m so happy I ran into this first. Now I can make my scarf not look so basic lol. I love this.
Such a great relaxing crochet stitch 😊 We are expecting a colder than average winter 🌬 and I think this will make an excellent scarf and hat. Another very nicely done tutorial, Robin, thank you.
I absolutely love how you segment label your transcript. I forgot hw many multiples and start up of pattern and it literally took about 1 minute to find what I needed. Kudos to you
Love the simplicity of this stitch for designing so many different looks for the blanket. I’ve used it to make a herringbone effect, a weave effect, all by choosing different coloured yarns to create the “fabric” look you want. Great tutorial here in this video, the get creative with colour when you are confident with your crochet skills!
Just starting out crocheting and I have to say you explain this very well and make it very easy to follow! I feel like it is easier to understand then some “beginner” videos I have seen. Can’t wait to try this stitch out!
I have just picked up crocheting. My daughter's teacher, one day at her school, showed her class how to do it and had them all try it out. She now wants to learn it and so I started it to try and help her with it. You have made it so easy for us to learn that I am now using this stitch to make a full size blanket. My daughter, who is 12, is trying to make a blanket for her cat. 😁 We both have watched other videos about this and have found yours to be the easiest to follow and comprehend the steps. Thank you so much!
I’m 63 years old! My seventh grade science teacher taught the entire class how to crochet. I just read that crocheting and knitting release serotonin, so it helps with depression and anxiety. If you’re already a happy person, I guess you’re going to be even HAPPIER!! 😂
Thank you so much for making this vid ! I haven't done this since I was a kid an with my mother passing away 2 months ago I needed to find something to do to keep my mind busy as it's been real hard losing my mother 🥺 thank you so much for the simple instructions I will be making a blanket now 🤗 hope you stay healthy, safe and blessed 💕
Now THIS is a great beginner tutorial. I only recently got into crocheting (through Arigumis) but wanted to try a blanket. Everyone uses such complicated stitches or don’t show how to do it properly, but this tutorial is amazing. Thank you!
I’ve been crocheting 🧶 the linen stitch and I’m loving it 😊. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us ❤️. I’ve been following you about a month and very much a beginner!! Enjoying this so much. Ur a great teacher
Love this stitch! I'm making my first temperature blanket using it. It's perfect because it makes small rows and it's easy to color transition! Thx, Robin! 😊👍🧶
First video I’ve seen that will allow me, considering how my mind works, to do a purse that I want to do! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Wonderful!
I always seem to miss something but this pattern is so nice, so easy, so pretty!❤️ I also want to say that I would never pay for a simple crochet pattern but here, at this stage, I am so thankful I came across you today! I have yarn for BigToeRing colors and need a quick fix for a bathroom rug .. This easy and simple stitch is amazingly beautiful. Perfect for my dilemma and again, thank you so much for sharing. I left you a 2.00 tip! Wish I had more! ❤️
Wow! I love this stich. And also, how you explain and instruct on how to achieve it. I have a difficult time trying to learn anything online like this, so it affects my anxiety in the worst way. It took me like no time at all listening to your tutorial. And I really appreciate the time that you took to do this for people trying to learn how to. Thank you! :)
This video made it's way to me, and after watching it a couple of times, I've subscribed and a set of crochet hooks is now in my Amazon cart! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial ❤

Hi Jaynie, I know what you mean!😂 I used to teach workshops face to face before this, so I wanted the experience to be similar. Crocheting along together! Definitely won’t be stopping videos but still in post house move unpacking/sorting zone.🫣
I love this stitch. It was also my mother’s favorite. I always just crochet over the tails when I change colors because I hate going back to weave them in, especially when I’m working on a big project.
Good idea! 😃 Thank you so much for watching Frieda.x
I recently finished my very first blanket that you taught me how to do! Thank you for making learning these stitches so easy
Aw yay! So glad my videos are helping! 😃🧶
Hi. How many chain did you use for a blanket ?
@@lindaherman8499 the size of your blanket only depends on how much yarn you have
What size wool do I need & what size needle please….& how many stitches for a small rug
What size needle & what size wool did you use for your blanket. please?🌹
This lady 🇬🇧 is ace at tutorials, so much better than some others on here.
Thank you!😃
I use the moss stitch for my "scrapghans" because it's easy to change colors, and it works like a dream! I've been crocheting for over 50 years, but I learn something new almost every time I watch your video. Thanks! Love from Alabama, USA❤
Awwh, thank you Jeanne!🤗 This is one of my favourites.🌈
I’m new to afghan making- do you chain x number of stitches to start?
@rrd9826 Yes, ma'am. For moss stitch, you chain an even number plus one. It depends on how wide you want it.
@@BlingBug3794 Why do you add the plus one? I am confused about when this is needed and when it isn't. Can you help me to understand?
@amydickinson2043 The starting chain has to be an even number, but you need to add one as the starting stitch. If you don't, your starting chain will be 1 short, making it uneven.
So ,simple, informative, easy and beautiful at the same time. No stress crochet. Thank you
No stress crochet - I love that! 😃😃 Thank you so much Kelli.x
I'm a beginner in the wonderful world of crochet and this is the best video I've found for this stitch. THANK YOU!!
You're so welcome Susan! 🥰
I AM IN HEAVEN WATCHING THIS GORGEOUS STITCH COME TOGETHER ❤❤❤ i am inspired to make my first throw blanket for my chair❤ ❤❤❤
Thank her for sharing this amazing she work slow so it's easy to follow her ❤it
I haven't crocheted in years... I started back last week... I can't wait for my shift to wrap out so I can go home and make a thick lapghan!!! This tutorial is AWESOME!!
This is perfect for the scrap blanket I've been thinking of making! The colour changes are so beautiful, and it's such a simple mindless stitch.
It really is, perfect for doing in the evenings. Thank you so much for watching! 😃
Oh yes! Excellent 💡 idea... a scrap blanket. Thank you for posting your comment
Moss stitch is one of my faves! Just made a blanket where you do 2 rows with the same color so it looks like a sawtooth pattern. I’ve made many moss stitch blankets lol
I love how versatile it is!
What do you do with all the blankets?
@@kathryngannon485 You can give them to people you cherish like friends or family. If you have too many, then you can consider donating them. Hope this helped💜
@@hopez6334 Hi, how many chains are you making for a blanket??
@@lilianastalinska3515 i normally make around 100 to 200 chains, depending on the weight of the yarn and size hook.( With bulky yarn it takes less chains)To be honest, i normally just eyeball it and just chain until I'm satisfied with the size.
I’m in love! This stitch is soft and squishy and Pretty! This will take a while to make a sweater, but it will be like wearing a fuzzy teddy bear ( without the pieces that tickle your nose & make you sneeze).
It is so squishy! 😍 A sweater sounds a great idea for it Laurel.
Thank you so much for making such easy-to-follow tutorials! 🙂
I learnt how to crochet purely from your tutorials! They're easy to follow and clear but most of all, you don't just stop after demonstrating the stitch. I like seeing you do a few rows as it helps get the learning to stick and gives you a feel of how the work should be looking. I've watched many tutorials and get overwhelmed with the jargon and waffle used, your videos make every stitch clear, concise and most of all, exciting! Can't wait to try this one! Thank you for all you do ❤️
This was so lovely to read, thank you so much! 😃🧶
I just want to agree with what Lisa here said! As a newbie the way you keep teaching helps SO much!!!
Thank you Sara!🤗
One of the most clear and helpful tutorials I've ever seen! Thank you and well done.
Awwh, what a lovely comment. Thank you! 😃
You are a star, i have been trying to get back into crocheting but been struggling to find a clear, consise, and visually appropriate way to "re-learn". You and your videos are IT, thank you so much I am truley greatful for this ❤️
Aw thank you so much! 🥰
I love this too, Robin. It is truly beautiful in any yarn and color or many colors. Thank you so much for this tutorial, I’m always confused on how to start and end a row. You’re the best 🥰
Thank you so much Christine! 🥰🧶
Thank you for showing how to change color and for explaining what you’re doing as you’re doing it
I am pleased it helps Hannah! 😃🧶🌈
Thank you for being very thorough, and taking your time explaining each step. I was able to follow along very easily. This is a TRUE tutorial.
Glad it was helpful! 🥰
My mom tried to teach me to crochet once and I just never got the hang of it. This video makes me think I can try again!
You can definitely do this! 😃 Take it step by step.x
I agree this is a great stitch! It always catches my eye especially with different colored rows 🧶😎
The tails are a pain but the overall effect is totally worth it! 😍🧶
I actually enjoy sewing in tails. 🧶😎
@@danettetrostle7173 can I send you my blanket? 😂🪡
Love this AND so easy to follow. Cannot wait to try this stitch. (Been crocheting since 1972)!
Oh, this is my go-to stitch for blankets! You can easily put a pattern in both ends and it stitches up so quickly yet looks beautiful and drapes fantastic. I’m working on a blanket in this stitch for my daughter in law right now. My only difference is that I do a starter row of single crochet first and then jump into the moss stitch. Great video, thank you!
That sounds great Jill and definitely, it makes fantastic blankets! 😃🧶
My absolute favorite stitch! It's a great way to use up your leftover yarn to make throws.
Definitely! And it works up so quickly too.😃🧶
I love this stitch! I saw it in some patterns on social media and now thanks to your video I know the stitch name and how to make it 😊 Thanks a lot!! Only one question: I’m thinking of crocheting a table runner with it. Is there any way to work edges with this stitch so that it looks clean and neat on the sides? Thanks!
maybe try single crocheting across the edges?
Couple of things maybe?
1. Run a row of slip stitches along the edge then use those as the basis for a border. I made a shawl with this as the basic stitch and doing that gave a beautiful edge - I just crocheted a couple of rows of SC but you can make it as simple or as complicated as you want.
2. Start each row off with a set number of SC - say, four singles then start your moss stitch. Then you have the border incorporated. But slip stitches are deffo your friend for borders, even for a messy learner like me 🤗
I've tried both but I like the slip stitch version for the cleanest border, especially if you're using mixed stitches. And I'm only a beginner so if I can do it you'll be able to with your eyes closed!
I can't link other tutorials, that wouldn't be fair. But Robin did a moss stitch shawl on here and she shows you how to put a neat edge on. Alternatively, try searching terms like finishing, preparing for a border etc. etc.

You had me at dense texture. Great instructions. Love lacy stuff too, but prefer a lovely, hole-free blanket.
Thank you Dace, I’m glad you like it.😃🧶
Same, I love the look of granny clusters but I cannot stand my toes poking through the gaps
This stitch has been recommended to me a lot! I'm so glad to see a tutorial from you, yours are always so clear and make me feel confident enough to try new things.
That makes me so happy to read, thank you Teresa! 🥰
I’m still working on my blanket but can tell it will be beautiful! Thank you Robin! I’m a new crocheter and love it so much! I’ll be learning more from you soon! 😊
This is such a great tutorial! I'm planning on making a temperature blanket for 2023 and I think this stich would look lovely!
Thank you so much, I haven’t made a temperature blanket before but I know lots of people do with this stitch.😃🧶
Funny I was thinking the exact thing last night
Another beauty of a stitch that you’ve brought to us, Robin!! I can see this stitch used in many projects!! Thanks so much for keeping us crochet savvy, Robin! You’re one fantastic instructor! Take care! 💕🤗
Thank you so much! 🤗🧶
Very new to crochet and this was one of the easiest to follow tutorials. Thank you.
I love this stitch, too! It’s great for all kinds of yarns as well as all kinds of colors.
Thanks for demonstrating change of color at the end of the row. It’s a very useful technique and helpful for using up our leftover yarn.
So good for using up leftover yarn! 😃 Thank you so much for watching.🤗
Thank you for all your videos! You taught me to crochet and it’s become a beloved hobby of mine, I’m very grateful thank you so much x
Awwwh! 🥰 I love this, I am so happy you’ve found crochet through my videos.x
Hi, I'm from Indonesia. I do like every your Vidios. I can do and understand that every you works. I am so sorry if my English not right. Thanks
Thank you for spending time with us so patiently. And thank you for your clear instructions. Such a pleasure to watch the stitches from the pattern. Well done
Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment Gloria!🥰🤗
I'm so so happy that you mentioned and explained how to change colors. I found your vid while looking for stitch ideas for a temperature blanket, so I'm gonna be changing colors a lot. I can't wait to start!
Yay! 😃 I hope you enjoy making your temperature blanket.x
Thank you so much! I'm relatively new to crocheting (at 68!) and this was very easy to follow. I can't believe I'm making beautiful blankets now!
My pleasure!😃 Enjoy making your blankets, it is a beautiful stitch.
Beautifully clear, both spoken instructions and demonstration. Thank you.
Thank you so much Maggie! 😃🧶
This looks like such a comfortable stitch to crochet with! Also your yarn and crochet movements make this all look soooooo smooth. Well done!
Thank you so much, it is a lovely stitch! 😃
Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I love your tutorials and patterns. 😍 Your voice is so calm and soothing, it makes listening to your explanations so enjoyable.
Aww, thank you so much Tina! 🥰🤗
Your video was perfect. To the point and simple yet informative and clearly showing. Thank you much appreciated
I’m preparing to start a temperature blanket, and I was looking for a fun, new stitch to use that was quick and easy, yet pretty. THIS is it!! Thank you so much for your excellent tutorial!
That sounds great, this works so well for a temperature blanket. I hope you enjoy it! 😃🧶
I was thinking the same! Gonna work on a new temperature blanket soon and didn't want to use the same stitch as the one I'm work on right now! I think im sold on this one!
OK, maybe this is a dumb question, but what is a temperature blanket?
I do agree this tutorial is the best, I'm attempting to teach myself how to crochet from watching videos. This is one I think I could actually do. My problem right now is I'm missing stitches even over the chain. I bought a neck lamp that I'm hoping will help.
This has been my favorite crochet stitch for several years specifically because it makes such a dense blanket. Thank you for this video.
It really does Rebecca, I’m glad you like the video.😃🧶
Wow! Love this! Thank you! I'm just finishing up a blanket of double crochet but I really love the look of this stitch. Definitely going to work this stitch. Easy enough for sure.
Thank you so much Juanita! 🥰 It works so well for blankets.
You’re a wonderful teacher. Thank you for this video !
I just started my moss stitch blanket. It is turning out so good! I’m using greens browns and yellows and planning to put sunflower appliqués on it. I have been crocheting for years! This is the first time I have ever used the moss stitch and it is already one of my favorites! ❤ Awesome tutorial. Your voice is very easy to hear and understand.
Thank you so much Jessina and your blanket sounds wonderful!😃🧶
I'm semi self taught and still consider myself a beginner. This was really great to follow, pause, replay and so clear to understand. Thank you!
You’re welcome Donna, I’m so pleased it helped - it is such a lovely stitch.😃🧶
Thank you for showing how to crochet in rows and change colours 😊 I’ve never been able to work in rows before.
Thank you
I’m pleased it helps Alison!😃🧶
My favorite stitch. Good way to use up left over yarn with the different colors.
Very true Melody! Thank you so much for watching. 😃
This is the only crochet video I've been able to watch AND understand. Thank you.
Awwh, you’re welcome!🤗 I’m just glad it helps.
Im chronically ill and cant work as well as do a lot of regular things so im always looking for new things i can try to occupy my mind. I started learning last week but really got into it yesterday and i cant stop! Its been so therapuetic and once i understand its a lot easier. This stitch is so pretty but also seems easier to follow than others so im excited to try this out!
Hi Rosabeana, I am so pleased you have managed to pick up crochet so quickly as it is the best. I hope you enjoy this stitch, it is a lovely one especially for blankets.😃🥰
@@HookedbyRobin I started trying it last night but my eyes arent the best so i think i missed a few stitches as my work is a bit lopsided now ahaha
But its a fun stitch and im going to keep practising! Im going to try making a blanket for my cat :)
I love this stitch, it’s so simple and beautiful. I made a shawl/scarf with it and I’ve received a few compliments on it. Thank you Robin ❤
😃
@@HookedbyRobin 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🥰🤗
I've been crocheting off and on for decades but only recently found the joys of this stitch. It goes quickly, is easy, and makes a nice fabric for just about anything, including blanket borders.
Thank you so much for taking the time out and explaining everything to us and showing us exactly where are stitch is going❤
I just picked this up a few days ago and thinking making a scarf would be an easy start. I’ve practiced some basics already and I’m so happy I ran into this first. Now I can make my scarf not look so basic lol. I love this.
That will look great!😀 I do have a moss stitch scarf video too: th-cam.com/video/FtMkf-bl7cg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=b6za9PhvQE5tzT3z
I cannot imaging anything easier! Thanks so much
Thanks Robin ❤ I can.always count on you to give a great tutorial slowly and enough to fully understand what I'm doing.😊😊😊
Such a great relaxing crochet stitch 😊 We are expecting a colder than average winter 🌬 and I think this will make an excellent scarf and hat. Another very nicely done tutorial, Robin, thank you.
You’re so welcome Terry and that sounds great! 😃🧣
I absolutely love how you segment label your transcript. I forgot hw many multiples and start up of pattern and it literally took about 1 minute to find what I needed. Kudos to you
I’m so glad it helps Sherry!😃
This is an ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT TUTORIAL!!! Easy to follow and very clear instructions with no prior knowledge assumed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much Pam!😀🧶
Love the simplicity of this stitch for designing so many different looks for the blanket. I’ve used it to make a herringbone effect, a weave effect, all by choosing different coloured yarns to create the “fabric” look you want. Great tutorial here in this video, the get creative with colour when you are confident with your crochet skills!
Thank you for this comment. I was feeling overwhelmed
Just starting out crocheting and I have to say you explain this very well and make it very easy to follow! I feel like it is easier to understand then some “beginner” videos I have seen. Can’t wait to try this stitch out!
Thank you so much Kella, that’s so kind of you! 🥰
I've always been a cross-stitcher and hadn't thought about taking up crochet but after finding your channel, I've become addicted 😅
Awwh, thank you Rebecca!😃
This is a beautiful and fun stitch! I made 2 of your moss stitch pastel rainbow scarves from an earlier video. I always love what you bring us, Robin!
Aw yay thank you so much Sierra! 🥰🧶
I have just picked up crocheting. My daughter's teacher, one day at her school, showed her class how to do it and had them all try it out. She now wants to learn it and so I started it to try and help her with it. You have made it so easy for us to learn that I am now using this stitch to make a full size blanket. My daughter, who is 12, is trying to make a blanket for her cat. 😁 We both have watched other videos about this and have found yours to be the easiest to follow and comprehend the steps. Thank you so much!
This was just the loveliest to read, thank you so much! I love that your daughter is making a blanket for her cat too.😃(Crazy cat lady here 😅🫣).x
I’m 63 years old! My seventh grade science teacher taught the entire class how to crochet. I just read that crocheting and knitting release serotonin, so it helps with depression and anxiety. If you’re already a happy person, I guess you’re going to be even HAPPIER!! 😂
