The Mona Lisa cotton is beautifully soft and heavy - very happy with how this yarn worked up! Available in a pack of 8 balls, ONE ball made the washcloth I show in the introduction - for the washcloth I chained 37 to start and continued until it was roughly square.

🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on TH-cam yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

Hi Robin, do you allow the finished item to be sold with credit to your pattern or would you prefer not to have that happen. I always like to check. Thank you.
@@unicornster no problem at all! I've got no problem with anyone selling any finished items 😀 x Good luck with your sales!

This is my favorite crochet stitch for making preemie blankets!
I'm currently working on a scarf with this stitch. It's going to become a pocket scarf once it's done. It's a fun stitch and works up fairly fast. Great texture that photography doesn't do it justice. Everyone should try it if they haven't already, just to see it in person.
It is SO hard to capture the gentle texture in photos isn't it? A pocket scarf sounds like it will be lovely and warm 😍
@@HookedbyRobin It is! Lol took two photos of it to show my friend, since the scarf is for her. Both looked bad! 😂
You should see how many photos I took for this video! 😂 Every single one looks flat - very frustrating LOL!
@@HookedbyRobin I am laughing so hard! I feel the struggle 😂
Love this stitch and your channel. This pattern is a great one for animals in shelters or at home, as it is closed together and they can not get their claws through it.
Thank you Cam and perfect use for it! 😃🥰
Thank you for posting this and your other videos, your style has helped my month-old new addiction to crochet flourish.
I have used this stitch for scarves, hats, a couple of throws and a shawl love this stitch
It's such a simple classic isn't it!
I never get tired of your video you always have a new fun and beautiful pattern waiting for me to watch!!
Love this. Super simple and quite beautiful
Thank You for a great tutorial. I will be making lots of washcloths to sell at a flea market. God Bless you and your family!!
This is one of my favorite stitches!
Tuesdays are my favourite just for your videos! Beautiful work as always! Go Robin!!!
Aw thank you so much! What a lovely comment to read! 🥰 xx
Adorable!
Thanks a million!😘
I love this starch, it’s so easy and quick!
🥰🤗
Hi Robin!
What a great and easy stitch. I will definitely make something using it. Maybe a scarf/hat set.
Thanks for sharing your stitches with the crochet community.

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! Love learning new stitches! Have a happy Thanksgiving! 🐰🐰
Thanks for the great tutorial. Always love to see a new one.
😀
Love the stitch.. was easy to work.. I made am ear warmer.. it came out great
That's my favorite stitch for washcloths.
Very cute stitch.
just found your videos and am soooo happy... i needed some new kind of stitch types and you explain them so well... this has sparked me into making up alot of yarn i want to use to make up things to donate... thank you so much!!
Yay! I am so glad to hear it helped Ruthe.😃🧶 x
Nice job teaching. I love this stitch. The Suzette Stitch also makes a very nice fabric...
Love it! Thank you! 🌸🌺🌸🌺
Thanks for showing this, I'm going to use it on some wash cloths
Love this stitch pattern. Thanks so much!!
Simple yet sweet! :D
Short but sweet! Really like the yarn you've used too!
I was actually really surprised how the yarn worked up! Looks completely different in ball form lol
You are adorable!!!! I love your vids. Thank you!!! Take care! 😘🌹
What a surprise for me! I did a number of afghans w/this pattern years ago when I was just beginning my crocheting. I’d bought a bag at a yard sale w/books, scraps of notes for crocheting for $.50. This pattern was on a scrap of paper. I tried it, loved it and called it my “Up and Down” pattern. Robin, so it has a name huh? Well, “Up and Down” has worked for years! 😅
I love this comment! We could call it “up and down lemon peel stitch” Sue?😂🧶
@@HookedbyRobin 😉
I am making this into a shawl for my daughter. I am also making it with the foundation in cream color and using various colors and yarn types as the woven part to hopefully get a more bohemian look.
Hi Robbin.. Everytime I find one of your videos... I learn something new. Thank you x
You’re welcome Susan!😃
I just love your videos and very pretty nails, and your beautiful creations. This crochet cloth reminds me of the ones that my late mother made along with some homemade dish soap that she then wrapped together in a clear package for gifts. The yarn is super soft and gentle to use for washing your body and face.
😊
I'm making a second matching washcloth now, thank you for this cute and easy-to-follow pattern!
You’re so welcome Liz, it is such a lovely stitch.😃🧶
So pretty.🤩
Thank you!
It look very nice 🥰
I'm very happy to know a new stitch now. I think I'll use it for a bunch of things just so I can practice it until I memorise it. Thank you for making this video.
Great idea Tamara! 😃 It is a beautiful stitch.x
@@HookedbyRobin I already love it. I'm in the process of making a sleep shirt with it.
Lovely Robin thank you 🍋Amanda xx
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. 🧶💕
Thank you for watching!! X
Thank you for this great, easy-to-follow tutorial!! I'm using it to make a washcloth!
Great idea Liz, so good for that!😃
I finally get it. I think I can handle the one! Thanks
Omg. I ordered this yarn last week and should be getting it tomorrow. I am ready for this!
It is SO soft - I was genuinely surprised at how nice it is - you won't be disappointed!
@@HookedbyRobin I'm just going to start planning now on getting more colorways!
I have seen so many vedio of this Stich but always get confused. U explained it in so simple way.
Thanks alot i m going to use it for making a rectangular ponchu.
Love it! Super easy super fast!
It is!😃🙌
@@HookedbyRobin I am working on dishcloths for my Christmas presents to friends and relatives right now. I like this stitch since it comes out a tighter weave and thicker. 😊
Thank you Robin for another great tutorial. I'm definitely going to make a couple of dishcloths for a friend, but I would like to try this for a scarf. Thank you again God bless and stay safe. From Canada
It would make a lovely scarf stitch yes!
I love your tutorial! I just found one for an adorable drawstring bag that looks like a yellow lemon, with green leaves. But it’s done in the single crochet and I wanted to know if I could change it to the lemon peel stitch. Yes I can and I’m so excited to make next level! It’s for my daughter for her birthday. She has the word lemon in her username & she’ll love it.
Thanks wow easy and nice
I'm glad you like it, thank you so much! 😃🥰
Going to give this a go. I'm making some spa sets. This would work beautifully
Ooo! 😃 Let me know how you find it Jill.
@@HookedbyRobin will do.
Çok çok güzel renk harika👏👏👏👏
Hahaha... I "created" a similar stichted cloth using half dc's instead. 😉 LOL I love your videos and your positive attitude. Hoorah to you! 🎉💐🙋♀️🇨🇦
🙌 a hdc version probably works up super quick too!
Thank you🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Thank You!
You’re so welcome!😃🧶
Thank you!
You're welcome!🧶
This stitch makes for a great houndstooth effect when working it in stripes! I made a Halloween set with black, green, orange and purple and it made a fun houndstooth mock look for Halloween
Ooooh yes! I should have done the classic black and white!
Do you do one or two rows of each color?
@@StormCaller5 one row of color
@@nothingtoseehere6545 Ok. Thanks for the tip 🤗
You always have the prettiest yarns for your projects. I don’t know if it’s a time thing or if the UK has nicer samples but I love them.
Thank you Collete, I do buy most of my yarn in/from the UK but some is from abroad too like the ice yarns website.😃🧶
I'm always so envious of the yarns I see in tutorials. I live in a very small town in Australia. I don't do online ordering so am very limited as to what I can get in the couple of stores I have access to.
I love how your fingers coordinate with the hook and yarn..love all your tutorials .
God bless your heart..
Easy stitch, I will make a beany, hat, very nice, sorry for my bad English, kind greetins from France🇫🇷🗼 🌺💐
This stitch worked with 2 stands of color changing yarn makes gorgeous blankets. I tend to use 2 diffrent colors changing skeins such as Hobby Lobbys Strawberry Swirl and Licorice Jellybean. 10 mm hook ❤
Oooh that sounds AMAZING - soft, squishy, colourful and quick to grow on a big ol' hook? Sounds right up my street! 😍
Robin isn’t this stitch the same as the Griddle stitch 🙋🏽I love it it’s so Pretty 😍 😊
Hi Diana, Yes! Same stitch, differing names. 😃
Yay! You hold your yarn in the left hand just like I do! I thought I was the only one.
Most right handed people hold their yarn in left hand. How could you think you were the only one?
@@charlenerenee7751 No, it's just that the way she has the yarn wrapped in her fingers. There are a number of ways to do it. I was remarking that this is the way I do it. Some people wrap it around their pinkies and hold the yarn in the air with their index. That is different than this way of holding it.
I have one question what yarn is the best for making things ?
I have been taught this stitch to be the moss stitch by other you tubers!
Moss Stitch is single crochet, chain one (repeat forever lol) so definitely quite different the Lemon Peel Stitch! 😀 x
What is the color name of your Mona Lisa yarn? It’s a beautiful stitch and I love the colors.
👍❤️
I am a new subscriber. Could you put up some left handed tutorials

Is it possible to do this in a square/granny form?
Robin when I try to crochet a dishcloth for some reason at the end of my project it is either wider or narrower, I'm pretty sure it has to do with my tension do you have any suggestions on how I can correct this. Thanking you in advance.
Hi Robin 👋👋👋👋☺️
Hi Teresa!🧶
is this not the same as the houndstooth stitch? the only difference is that the starting chain for this is even not odd?
🍄🍄♥️
Hi Robin, what yarn (and what size hook) do you use in the Lemon Peel stitch for a dish cloth or face washer, please? Is it knitting cotton or some other yarn?
Hi Myra, I used: Ice Mona Lisa 100% Cotton : www.iceyarns.com/git/681/mona-lisa
But unfortunately they have discontinued it! You can use any yarn you fancy though.😀🧶
What what kind of yarn do you use I love the colors ?
Hi Maria, it was Ice Mona Lisa 100% Cotton but unfortunately it has been discontinued.
Love simplicity and that yarn is pretty also. What brand and colorway is it?🧶❤
It's Mona Lisa by Ice Yarns: www.iceyarns.com/git/681/mona-lisa the colourway number is fnt2-68414 🙂
@@HookedbyRobin thank you for the response
Hi Robin...I would like to make a lap pillow and I think this may be a good stitch...do you think the stuffing would pop through? Any tips on avoiding that please? TIA!
Hi Jane, I would suggest making a small sample first and seeing.😀 It depends on the yarn you are using, your tension etc, so I couldn't say for certain.x
Thanks Robin
🤗
Can you share what yarn you are using here please? I looked through the comments trying to find that answer first but couldn’t. Thank you it’s beautiful
It's a cotton from Ice Yarns - I have linked to it in the description box :-)
I just saw that I’m sorry I didn’t look before I asked. Thank you for responding!
@@michelechenier7591 no need to apologise! 😀 x
is this similar to the half moon stitch? looks similar from the thumbnail
I made a baby blanket wi this stitch. Basically after the first row you crochet a double over a single and a single over double.
🥰🧶
What size hook?
Hi! Can you please make a crochet chameleon?
is this also called griddle stitch? it seems familiar ......?
I ended on a double crochet on each row, but it was more by luck than judgement 😂
🥰🤗
Yarn is pretty. Too busy of a stitch for me. Would love to see it in a solid. Like white...
know you don't make Minecraft plushies but it would mean the world to me if you do a tutorial for a Minecraft Moobloom Plushie. Ive been trying to find a plushie to buy for my daughter but they are all sold out and that's all she wants for Christmas, so I figured I can crochet one for her. But I don't really know how. So if you can please please please can you make a Moobloom Plushie tutorial. Thank you!!!! :)))
What size Hook?
Hi Vicki, I used a 4mm hook but use whichever hook size is recommended on your chosen yarn ball.😃🧶
What size hook❤
Hi Rita, I used a 4mm hook but use the recommended hook size on your chosen yarn ball.😃
Thank you
I love this stitch, but it doesn't love me! I have started a blanket 3 times! I count and count and count, but by the 3rd row - EVERY TIME!!!! - I am no longer ending on a double crochet as I should be. I'm not an experienced crocheter, but I'm not a newbie either! This is so frustrating. Now it's to the point where I refuse to let this blanket beat me!
Lemon peel huh?? You posted this long ago. I would love the name of yarn PLUS the color. PLEASE??
Where did you buy that yarn I love the colors
It's Mona Lisa by Ice Yarns: www.iceyarns.com/git/681/mona-lisa the colourway number is fnt2-68414 🙂
Why does it called “lemon peel”?
I think it's because of the slight "bumpy" texture; like what you see on some lemons, oranges, etc.
This stitch has been out forever. People just call it different names.
Some even have the gut to claim it and sell the technique on etsy and title it as new stitch pattern. It's no uncommon these days, many of these crochet influencers copy the pattern from others and make it look like they create themselves.
This stitch has been around forever. Everybody calls it something different.
Lemon Peel is the correct name (as far as I am aware!) and yes, its a classic stitch! 🙂
You always save the day😍 I was frantically looking for this stitch, and I thought I bet Robin has it, sure enough, you did. Thank you.
😊🌸
