Ok, so far this has been a hair tricky one since I'm a newbie, but when you were doing the first changed color into the fan I was was coming up with 6 stitches going in the front way and it didn't look right... Then you ripped it out and went through the rear which made mine come out the RIGHT way! Definitely a difference! So ....so far - Thank you! I hope I can hang in there! I adore this sun-burst like flower stitch! 😍

I personally appreciate that you took the time to make a tutorial. Yes, you reading the patternwas a little distracting because we assume you know the pattern. However as you said there are multiple variations of this pattern.Using youtube we are able to backup or go forward at any time which allows playing the portion we need instead of entire video again. My only concern with this is you do not end up with a straight edge. It seems like there should be something done in the last stitch at the end of the rows...before turning...to make a better appearance of the finished project. Like at the end of the last row on your example should be a sc in the top of the ch3 to make a straight edge. Just makes a better overall finish if you are putting the work and money into an Afghan. I also agree working in the back loop of the stitches improves the look of the finished project. Thank you again for your tutorial :)
i'm a bit late with this reply but why not do the first half of the 2 row pattern - could that work - i haven't tried a swatch so i'm just guessing here - i'm not a big city crocheter (apologies to the simpsons)

Hello, love this pattern! U did a good job in teaching us, and I even like the change, the 1st one. Can u please tell us ur count? Not how many chain, but the multiples? I want to make a blanket and need to know. Ty very much.
You're welcome! Thank you for your feedback on this video. We took a very long hiatus from TH-cam and are working on creating better videos - this is one of our very old ones. Maggie is planning to remake this video in the next month and will include that information. We hope you will still follow us!
Hi Maggie, I have to ask you, I have never seen anyone do the "bottom" of the wheel like you are doing, When I crochet the d/c together, I yarn over, pick up the loop and go thru 2,and not go thru another loop as what your doing, you are in effect extending your d/c. Also when you are doing your bottom half of the wheel you are only doing 6 d'c, it should be 7 d/c together because at the top you are doing 7 double crochets. You shouldn't be skipping that bottom s/c. Do you get what I mean?.
Thank you so much for your comment, and I apologize for not getting back to you. We took a very long hiatus from TH-cam and have only just recently gotten back to it. Did you still need assistance with your question?
Have you done this stitch before? If I was doing the tutorial I wldnt do what was fastest but what looked the best or both so we cld see the difference

Totally agree with Manya. It's so difficult to write down the patter whilst you work it, and many of us aren't anyway near as fast as you which makes it impossible to keep up that way. I've looked at several catherine wheel videos and have the same problem with those too. I love the look of this stitch and all Iwant is the basic pattern so I can do it too. Whats the point of making video tutorials if people who watch them can't get the basic pattern?

Hi boatmarie , You can email patternhelp@maggiescrochet.com for help with the Catherine's Wheel Afghan pattern. Thanks for watching, and Happy Crocheting!
Hi 1991hoosier, the correct chain count for the sample is 20. You may notice that, when you make the shell, it crowds the next chain so it might be difficult for you to see it when you're skipping 2 chains.
I am so sorry to hear you had trouble! We have been away from TH-cam for many years and are just seeing this message. If you need assistance please reach out to customerservice@maggiescrochet.com - We are always happy to help.
Thank you for the information! We have been away from TH-cam on a many years hiatus and have recently gotten back into it. Thank you for responding when we were not available to. :)
You could try using Google Chrome. I don't particularly like it myself, but for youtube videos it has an extremely useful feature, an option (at the lower right corner, where the little wheel is) to make the video go slower, faster, as you wish.

Hello, I sent you an email about the Catherine's wheel pattern that I purchased from your website and have not heard back from you. The pattern says to use 3 strands as one, but this video only uses one strand. Also, in the pattern that I purchased, in Row 1 it says to chain 56 sc in 2nd chain from hook, etc, etc. It does not mention anywhere how many ch you make to start. (58?) How many chains do I need to actually start the afghan? I am looking to make a baby blanket, and since the example in this video says that you get 3 wheels with 20 ch's, I was thinking I would start this with 100 or 120 ch's, so 50 something doesn't make sense to me. I hope that I do not come across as rude here, but I would like to get started on this blanket and it does not mention in the pattern how many chains to start with. Thank you.
Sorry you haven't heard back from us yet. Which email did you send it to? The best email for this question would be patternhelp@maggiescrochet.com. We only used one strand of yarn in this video to make it easier to see - using the triple strand and the size Q hook makes the circles that much bigger, so yes, it's 56 chains to start, sc in the 2nd chain from the hook, then follow the rest of the pattern. This pattern makes an afghan that's about 41" across. Hope this helps!

Hi Kelly, We apologize for that issue - unfortunately we are unable to change the video at this time. I am not sure if it works on phones/tablets, but there is a way to slow the speed of the video on the settings if using a PC. I hope this helps, and I apologize again for not being able to adjust the speed. - Jen
Instead of telling us how many you chained, why don't you tell us the MULTIPLE used? I can kinda figure it out, but I'm sure others might not be mathematically inclined and be frustrated by this.
+Jane Doe There are other videos out there that have a way BETTER explanation of this pattern.. one says to use a multiple of 8 sts plus 1, so you get the length you want. hope this helps!
that was for a different stitch count pattern - 9 doubles instead of the 7 in this pattern - for the catherine wheel stitch - this video seems to imply a multiply of 6 plus 2 - just guessing here - definitely try a sample swatch to check pattern stitch count
Thank you for your feedback on this video. We were away from TH-cam for many years and just getting back into it. Maggie is working on creating newer, better videos - this is one of our very old ones. We hope you will still follow us!
Please don't change pattern until you know exactly what you're going to do I did four rows working in the back loop, And then had to take it all out after doing all that work because it does actually look better going through both loops. Grrrrrrr!
Thank you for your feedback on this video. We took a very long hiatus from TH-cam and are working on creating better videos - this is one of our very old ones. Maggie is planning to remake this video in the next month - it will be much better! We hope you will still follow us!
yes i think that it seems that the person teaching the stitch seems like she is learning as she is teaching and it is very confusing because we are not reading the instructions in front of us, So it would have been better to teach the stitch after you have mastered it yourself, i am disappointed with the way this is being demonstrated but, i mean the person is nice enough to try to be teaching it to the public for free, so thank you for your attempt.

Warning for people finding this video. The person doing the tutorial changes methods three times between part 1 and part 2. So if you are making a blanket or something choose one style or another. It isn't worth ripping everything out and starting over again to have a consistent pattern.

Cannot follow you as you're reading. That is really messing me up. And it's so aggravating that you read and then do so quickly. If I could follow a pattern there wouldn't be a need for my following a tutorial. I'm a kinetic learner , meaning I mimic what you do , not as you say. Disappointed!

+SynfullyWkd67 Hi, We are sorry to hear you are upset. The pattern above is a pattern that is written and designed by Maggie Weldon/Maggie's Crochet using the Catherine Wheel Stitch. This pattern is not advertised or listed as a free pattern.
Sorry the video was too fast for you. You can always click on Settings (the gear in the lower right hand corner of the video), then select Speed and choose either half or quarter speed, though the audio tends to get distorted at quarter speed. Hope that helps!
Maggie Weldon This is only available for those who use Google Chrome, unfortunately. We should clamour to make it available to other browsers too. (I would use the faster option for many crocheting videos out there).
this tutorial has hard to follow. its confusing as hell- stilted and no continuity. how is this a tutorial if you're just reading instructions and trying to work out how youre doing it yourself?

Thank you, lovely. I like that change you made back loop only really defines the shells.
You're welcome!
I can't do anything with this until I know what multiples you used for the chain. Please?
8 plus 1

How many stitches from the beginning normally it says ex. Multiple of 7 +1 or multiple of 8+1. What is your beginning

kskc1234 You are correct on both counts. double crochect together decreases are made wrong. & there should be 7 spokes on the bottom wheel.

hi.. is it a multiple of 20?
thanks
Hi boatmarie , You can email patternhelp@maggiescrochet.com for help with the Catherine's Wheel Afghan pattern. Thanks for watching, and Happy Crocheting!
You say chain 20, but yet if we follow you exactly it falls short...could you fix this so that others do not get confused?
Hi 1991hoosier, the correct chain count for the sample is 20. You may notice that, when you make the shell, it crowds the next chain so it might be difficult for you to see it when you're skipping 2 chains.
Okay thanks
I bought this yesterday and printed it out. It came out so tiny I can't read it. Can you remedy this? it does me no good the way it is.

I got to do this pattetn
Hello! I hope you were able to do it!
Can I ask that you slow down your tutorials? I'm a beginner and partially sighted so its hard enough to see. X
You could try using Google Chrome. I don't particularly like it myself, but for youtube videos it has an extremely useful feature, an option (at the lower right corner, where the little wheel is) to make the video go slower, faster, as you wish.
Gemma Madden the Catherine's Wheel can be a bit tricky to catch on to, maybe this pattern is not for you as a beginner

I can crochet pretty fast and I just pause the video when I need catch up or back it up to see something again.
Thank you for your comment - you can also slow the speed down on the videos - I have to do that when I am following some tutorials. :) - JEN
