Thank you so much! I’ve never found one person that crochets exactly like another. We all learn differently and it’s fine. Thanks so much for watching.
I LOVEEE how you brought up the beginning thread to weave in! Thank you for showing this step! I will be using this from now on! Hahaha beautiful tutorial as well
@@Breanna18.3 Awwww thanks. I hate weaving in ends. That’s why I don’t do granny squares in multiple colors. When I’m done, I want to be done. Thanks so much for watching.
I like how you tidied the end of each row to make a nice finish. Also, I liked how you carried your beginning strand of yarn & pulled it up to the row above & then worked it from there. Both ideas I will incorporate into my crocheting. Thank you. First time watching.
Great gift ideas! I was making some round dishcloths and coasters but wasn't sure how to label them. The paper label is the finishing touch I wanted, thank you for the idea!
@@LilyLightOne I tried other things but they didn’t look “professional” enough to me. I love how simple these are to print and go. Eventually I’ll create my own.
Just came across your channel and subscribe. I love to crochet and do a lot for charities. You showed some great ideas in this video. Thanks for Georgia
You are awesome! I am so glad I found your channel. I am making crochet kitchen items as gifts this year, and I absolutely love the way you did your dishcloth/washcloth. Now, maybe I can whip some out before it's too late. ❤ Have a very Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄🤶
I feel money is a little tighter this year. So I’m looking for ways to bless more people with my handmade items. I used to get mags or containers at the dollar stores but the quality isn’t there. So thrifting fills that gap. Thanks so much for your comment!
New subscriber! Im left handed and a hand quilter. I’d love to learn crochet also. Do you sell these washcloths or just gift them to friends and family? I’m looking forward to going back and watching videos. Merry Christmas and happy homesteading! 💙👩🌾🎄💚🧵🪡
@ you are most welcome. If you ever decide to let someone mail order some, please let me know. Until then, I’m going to try learning with the help of TH-cam. God bless and Merry Christmas.
@@thetermite72 yep. It’s the way I was taught 50 years ago. It makes a more distinct x shape on the stitches. And it doesn’t affect the work at all. I find it faster to crochet. You just want to keep it consistent. If you do under, don’t throw in an occasional over or it’ll stand out. Great question.
The yarn under is an important detail to note, as the majority of crocheters work 'yarn over'. This is a lovely pattern with nice texture for a washcloth. Working 'yarn under' will make the work tighter, with greater stitch definition, and finished piece size smaller overall (vs yarn over). This is great technique for a washcloth that gets heavy use. Be aware, if you work this patter with the more common 'yarn over', it will be larger and a looser, less dense fabric.
This is a fantastic explanation! I appreciate you going into detail. I had way too many people tell me I crochet wrong. lol. No. I crochet differently. And honestly crocheting is an art with many ways to find success.
@@JustDoSomethingHomestead Both ways (yarn over or yarn under) have their strengths. I use both methods, depending on what I am making. You are correct, crochet is a fiber 'art' and there are many ways to create.
Different is NOT wrong. Am I also “wrong” because I have red hair, blue eyes, and live on a farm? I’m probably different looking than you. I simply crochet differently than you do. That doesn’t make it wrong. I’ve been crocheting for over 50 years. I was taught in 4-H. You can choose to grab over or under. You can choose to chain 2 vs a magic circle. You can hold your hook over handed or like a pencil. And you can choose to do a slipknot instead of tying a knot to add the yarn to your hook. All of those are choices. I am a teacher. Did you know for years I made EVERY student of mine a crocheted blanket for Christmas? I’m talking 25+ a year. All paid for and made by myself. And not one child told me that I crocheted “wrong”. Instead they had something to cover with when their heat had been shut off or when they needed to hold onto something and rock back and forth. They felt loved and warm and valued. Please don’t judge myself and others by your preconceptions that you are right and that makes others wrong. Instead we are creating beautiful items made with love to share with others.
I think a blanket or throw would look great with this pattern! Love the loose end treatment! Thank you! 👍🏼
Many people crochet like you do. Please don’t think you’re wrong by how you crochet. Very nice gifts.

@JustDoSomethingHomestead hahahaha same!!! My granny squares are one color as well!! Unless it's a variegated yarn! Such a pain to go back and weave!!
This is a fantastic idea not to mention I was thinking about it and your video popped up!! ❤
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching.

It looks so soft and squishy!

@@Eibmozluver You absolutely can. It takes me about an hour. Now I’m going crazy crocheting pan scrubbers.
Loved the combination of thrifted and handmade. ❤

Thank you. I was looking for a dishcloth pattern.
@@brwnietter9681 You are very welcome! I love the texture and softness. I use these myself to wash dishes. Once people try them, they’re hooked. Lol
Very nice idea ❤ Thanks
You are welcome!
I subscribed! I love it!
@@ManifestMeanings1 Thank you!
This definitely caught my eye!! New subscriber 😉
@@DanaKnowlton Welcome Aboard!
I may have missed it, but how many rows did you crochet? Thanks in advance...
@@craftlover9702 As many as it takes to make it perfectly square. It changes depending on the thickness of your cotton yarn.
@@JustDoSomethingHomestead OK, thanks

@@apiecemaker1163 I sell them at my Farmers Market and in my farmstand. I also give a ton to friends and family. Thanks for your comment!

Is there a specific reason you yarn under or is it just the way you crochet?

Madam you’re great ,
You do not crochet the stitches the right way. Wrong way to crochet

I could tell by just watching that you were highly experienced. I've been crocheting since I was a little girl. Thanks for sharing ❤
