You are an amazing instructor. You repeat everything enough that i never have to fiddle with rewinding, you show important work in multiple ways, and you speak slowly and clearly when talking about new techniques. I wish you could teach everything.

Hi Robin, just realised why my work never looks like your lovely work. You work mostly with chunky yarn as my DK yarn is more floppy and thus not quite like your work. Anyway, this stitch is really nice to finish a piece of work, especially blankets, thank you 🧶Maria🧶
Same for me! Maybe we should try dripping down a hook size maybe even two to get a lighter looking square. Okay it will be smaller ( each square) but then you either make a bigger border or add extra squares. Some of my squares look like a dogs hind leg because I'm using DK and not chunky like yourself.
DK is always a bit more floppy but it gives absolutely GORGEOUS drape for blankets! I made all my test squares using DK and preferred how they felt over the stiffness of the chunky yarn (I used the chunky purely so it could be a quick fun blanket to work up) If I were to make this blanket again and had more time, I'd definitely use DK for it :) The suggestion of a slightly smaller hook is a good shout! Xx
@HookedbyRobin the drop in hook size for the DK I'm using as a " test" for the present this dafty has decided to make ? Worked for me , without much change in the size of the actual square. Just remember 19 St's across the top of the square, or if you add an extra row above the hdc , just remember to balance every other square with it. Love Auntie Dafty.
Didn't know this stitch had even a name. In my 65 years of knitting and crocheting since age 4.5 y/o I have often used this as a border. I was never shown it, I just wanted often to make a border when I knitted scarves. Knit fabric in scarves often stretches too much so I experimented with different ways to border the knits and ended up using this already at school girl age. 😊
I have made this border in several blankets, and as you, used a single crochet for the last round. What a game changer the slip stitch will be. Thank you 👏 and thank you to T.L. Young Crafts. 👏
So glad to finally have a name for this stitch! I always just said I was working in the back bar. Also looks really good when you are working in a complicated granny square pattern and want to create some texture.
👏🏼👏🏼 I’ve used the camel stitch border before on a baby blanket I made. I learned it from a previous video you made. In fact, that’s when I “discovered” you and I never left you 😄 Subscribed to your channel then and have been your fan ever since. You are an AMAZING teacher Robin 🩷 Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us 😊 LOVE this blanket.
Robin, I love this blanket! What size yarn have you used? Will the camel stitch look just as nicely with any weight yarn? I’m currently finishing another blanket that has softer, thinner yarn and I’d like to use this stitch. I usually use just a half double stitch all around,but this is really nice. I so appreciate all that you have taught me. Thank you, Ruth
Did you miss a first foundation round sc on the smiley face square, or am I seeing things? This is the perfect border for the blanket I am currently making. Thank you.
Hi Robin, I really enjoyed this tutorial. I am interested to know why you didn't use the invisible stitch method to join the red and orange rows? It seems a much better join than the slip stitch + chain method. Also, is there a particular reason that you start new rows in the corner? Would it be easier to start on a side, and thus free up the corner to simply be a corner? I'd be interested in your reply.
You can absolutely change to join with the invisible stitch for the other rows if you prefer! I join each colour at a different corner just to counteract any slight twisting as the border rows progress - again, totally optional Do whatever works best for you! 😃
my husband did not hear you right he said strangling yarn thats a new one, he needs to clean out his ears. I said she said straddle not strangle. Do you think this would work for a chevron blanket? On my trip to a thrift store all bagged was 19 skiens of each color carron simply soft a nice bone white and cream. I paid 5 bucks for them even had some hooks in I will never use since I love my clovers.
Would you also do a single crochet 2tog if there is a chain stitch connecting the squares instead? (Like how it is in your continous join as you go pattern) Thanks :)
I tend to do an additional granny stitch row for that before doing my actual border - I have a video for dealing with those joins here: th-cam.com/video/dydEIY0rwrk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1lhlopSM0_VX6Crh
After you've done the two sc together where the square meet, it looked to me like the next sc goes into the same corner space at the start of that new square. Is this accurate?
I am searching like crazy to find all these color yarns. Would be wonderful if you could get the company to have all these colors all packaged up and sold them as a kit. 20 skeins of yarn is a lot! I can’t find what is needed for this project.
You can use any yarn you have really! No specific requirement to use the exact same as me - I know people have been substituting it for yarn in their stash or other brands / weights 😀

Me three 😊. My yarn go to is usually a 4 weight. I have used 5 & 6 weight but it makes my arthritic fingers ache. Robin’s is real pretty. 😊

In fairness to him, I do often feel like strangling the yarn! 😂
You could absolutely adapt this for a Chevron border x

@@HookedbyRobin I'll try that! Thank you 😊
Can this stitch be worked with all single crochets? I made a hooded cowl using single crochet and the result looks a lot like this.
Technically it wouldn't be the camel stitch but you could adapt it for other stitches 😀
After you've done the two sc together where the square meet, it looked to me like the next sc goes into the same corner space at the start of that new square. Is this accurate?
could Tight JAYG (Join As You Go) single crochet hexi tutorial?
What kind of yarn is this? I’m hunting for these bright colors.
Hi Catherine, yarn information is here: www.hookedbyrobin.com/blog/festival-pic-n-mix-blanket-crochet-along 😃

Do you think this would be a good border on a cardigan? 🤔
I haven’t done that, so can’t advise I’m afraid but give it a go!😃
Gotcha! Thank you so much 😊
Do you have this Minecraft pattern?
I never knew that stitch had a name lol
😅😃
