Years ago, the guidance counselor at the school where I worked, brought in some of these pot holders her mother in law had made. I loved them, but couldn’t for the life of me figure out how she made them. I even tried to snip one apart to “disassemble” it, but with no luck. Within probably the last year or so I found a tutorial on you tube. I have made many since and am amazed at how they’re not nearly as complicated as I’d thought. Of course, your directions are so easy to follow! Wish I’d have found you years ago.
I like your teaching. I clicked on thinking it was for making a kitchen hot pad.( I heard this stitch was good for that) But at the end, there was no instruction on how or where to tie off. I now realize your videos are just the stitch, not an actual project. But that’s okay! I would only ask that you might show how to end the stitch for those of us who are still learning stitches. Thank you for your help and clear instruction😊
I will keep that in mind going forward! Thanks for the great tip! I am working on a tutorial for a potholder using this stitch. It should be out in December both here on TH-cam as well as on my blog hopecornerfarm.com. Happy crocheting! :)
@@kristinakeane7110 I would finish it with a row of single crochet stitches. To do this I would insert the hook without yarning over, picking up both of the loops from the previous row’s stitch (not just the back loop only), as well as its parallel partner. I would have a total of 4 loops on my hook at this point. Then I would YO and pull through 3 of the loops on the hook. YO again and pull through the last 2 loops to complete it. Repeat across the row. I show this finish in my Double Crochet Thermal Stitch video as well. You can check it out here: th-cam.com/video/SKJFUs9Fiik/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MeyuY6_YYTWS2cUx
I guess my main problem is _tension._ I messed up so many rows *at the ends!* I'm new to crocheting in general and my first potholder is usable but totally misshapen! Any suggestions? Thanks for this wonderful video!
Tension is probably the trickiest thing to master in crochet! Practice is probably the most important step to mastering tension, but I actually just created a video about how to master tension a couple of weeks ago too.

Would any of these thermal patterns (sc, hdc, or dc) be good for a blanket or would the blanket be too stiff and heavy. I was wondering if it would be like a bought thermal blanket that is lightweight but warm as a blanket? I guess you finish the hdc last row like you did on your tutorials for the sc and the dc? Thanks for clear instructions for where you pick up the correct stitches to work under, i am a new subscriber.
@@karensemones7784 if I were to make a blanket with any of the thermal stitches it would be this one - the Double Crochet Thermal stitches. The SC would be way too stiff and so would the HDC. 🙂

Awww! Thanks for the kind words! I love teaching!! Happy crocheting!
I watched the thermal double crochet video first, so this one seems simple! Great yarn choice for stitch definition on video.
@@batya7 I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind works!
I love your single crochet ending much better thank you for sharing
Thank you! I definitely like the look of it better too! 🙂
This could be good for a beanie, ear warmer or headband in the winter!!
Those are great ideas! It would make them so warm!!!

Nice tutorial, thank you!
I can imagine using this Stich to create a cushiony Rug or small Animal Bed (made with left-over Yarns).
Those are great ideas!!!!! 🙂
Thank great instructions
@@BettyHarris-d5h you’re welcome! Happy crocheting!

New subscriber😊 really like how clearly you explain the steps.
@@stephanieyoung7034 aww! Thank you! Happy crocheting!!🧶
Need to do this in the round for hats. I am trying to figure it out but so far not getting there from here...lol
@@sarabrunk7130 I’m trying to work it out too!!! 🙂
Loved the video. How would you do the final row?

Tension ring!!
@ those work great!!!
Beautiful stitch thank you for sharing. Just have one question, how do you finish with a rounded edge like the start?
I forgot to add that to this tutorial. I am working on a blog post that should be up this coming week that will show that! Sorry about that! 🙂
@@hopecornerfarmcrochet that would be great thank you
Can this be made in acrylic?
@@vanessaheggie8524 yep! I only recommend cotton if you’re using it for a washcloth or potholder.
