🔥 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.mirrorthev... 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.hookedbyro... 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.hookedbyro...

Hey Robin, seen a couple of these FDC tutorials and you are the only one that explained the actual anatomy of the stitch! Now it makes sense why I’m doing what I’m doing. Thank you and keep it up
Third tutorial I've watched to figure this stitch out and this is the one detailed enough to help me. I was stuck on where exactly the previous stitch was to insert into, it's such a confusing mess right below the hook. Thanks for going slow and the big yarn :)
Best demostration ever of this stich! Finally, my stiches look even! Thank you so much! ❤
You’re very welcome!😃🧶
Thank you thank you! I've been watching so many videos to get this
Robin you’ve taught me to crochet!! In October I used your video to make a granny square blanket. Now I’m working a garment and this is my 4th fdc video. I should have started with you. Great explanations!
Hi Robin! Your FDC and Magic Ring tutorials were the ones that helped me. I couldn't do them until i watched yours. You're very helpful and easy to follow. Whenever i discuss crochet with anyone i recommend your videos to anyone. I even met a nurse i spoke with who struggled with MR and i recommended your video to her as she loved crochet but dreaded MR like i did. But your simple instructions make the dread a thing of the past. I hated FDC and FSC but now i can do them so easily. Thank you so much!
Hello Collette, this was so lovely to read and thank you so much for recommending my videos.🤗 I am glad my videos have helped too. Enjoy your crochet!😃x
This was the most helpful tutorial! Thank you for explaining the whys behind each stitch so well ❤
You are so welcome!😃🧶
This makes me so happy! So glad your ribbed scarf tutorial led me to this tutorial.
You are such a wonderful teacher! You make all of the steps so clear and I appreciate your use of the correct terminology :)
Thank you Fleur! 🥰
Thank you so much for be patient made a big difference for people with problems
Thank you Robin for an excellent tutorial! You’re videos are clear and concise and I appreciate it very much.
You are very welcome! Glad it helped 😃
I've started using this for every blanket I start and I'll never go back. Thank you Robin ❤
Thank you do much for this wonderful explanation, Robin. Your videos are always so helpful, you are a great teacher.
You're the best crochet instructor Robin! Thank you. (I also love your laughter 😃)
Thank you for explaining so carefully and using easy to see yarn. I can finally do it! 😀
It really helped to understand when I'm creating the chain and when I'm creating the DC. Thank you for the great tutorial!
I’m so glad it helped Jennifer.😃🧶
Wow...you are an excellent teacher. I can't wait for more. I've gone back and watched most of your videos. Thank you so much for posting them. I'd love if you could show how you hold your yarn. I learned to feed the yarn over the pointer finger but I like the way you have it over the second finger which makes holding on to the piece so much easier.
A few people have asked me this! Lol I don't really hold my yarn at all, it just kind of hangs there 🤣 I might see if I can get my husband to help film how I hold it x
Thank you so much for showing us but also explaining it so well!
You’re welcome Jaycinta!😃🥰
Thank you thank you for explaining this so clearly FINALLY! Your explanation clicked.
This is fantastic! My life has been changed 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thankyou
Thank you soooo much you're a God send! Very precise and right to the point and easy to understand. ❤
Now I understand!
Yay! 😃🤗
Robin, is it the same process for making foundation half treble chain?
I really love your tutorials......you have taught me to crochet and I love your explanations......they make so much sense! Thank you so much 😊
Another excellent tutorial
Thank goodness! I’ve watched so many videos, and yours is perfect for me! Thank you for using the chunky, light-colored yarn, it REALLY helped!
Thank you so much. Much appreciated - very clear.
Thank you, I’m glad it helps.😃🧶
Very easy explanation. Thank you
You are welcome Pattie🤗🥰
Thank you!
You're welcome Valerie. 🤗🧶
Thank you Robin.
Awesome Robin. Thanks
You are awesome teacher I love it I am going to try it.
So easy
🥰🧶
Hi Robin I'm half way through my barcg of granny squares to make a cardigan phew! Can I ask I want to add ribbing can I use the foundation stitch your demonstrating here.....iam definitely hooked I noticed you haven't done a cardigan 😢 loving your tutorials sooooooo good x
Loved the video on how to create the FDC - you explained it very well. However how do I continue on to completing my pattern? How do I get from the FDC to the rest of the pattern, even if the pattern is stating to chain and then whatever. Thank you!
Didn't understand it at all until I saw this video :)
When you say ‘go back to the single crochet you just did to start your next chain and dc, I don’t know which one that is lol. Easy way to know?
Thank u!
You’re welcome Debora!😃🧶
Its much easier to keep count of the stitches than in a chain.
Omg thank you.. so far the only one that it's confusing
Can you use this start and still work in the round, like for an infinity scarf?
Yay!!!
❤❤❤
Question, after you crochet your foundation double crochet, would you then chain two, turn and then begin regular double crochet? Love this tutorial by the way. It makes a nice sturdy foundation to a blanket.
Yep! x
😊
Thank you Yolanda! 😃
Do you chain one when turning for next rows?
Can you do this for something that you have to slip stitch together like a hat?
Yes absolutely! You may need to leave a slightly longer tail at the start so you can sew the bottom gap together but other than that, you're good to go!
Do you know how to start a new row on that foundation???
You could chain 2 (or 3 depending on what the pattern calls for) , turn your work and then work a double crochet stitch into the 2nd stitch along (the chains you make at the start count as a mock stitch)
Then double crochet in every remaining stitch until the end then repeat all over again!
Chain, turn, dc x
As a beginner, this yarn was too chunky for me to follow tutorial.
Thank you!
You are so welcome!😃🧶
