    Thank you for this tutorial 😊 I'll be working on these for Chrissy prezzies 😊 my Grandma had teatowels with the tops on, and they're super handy, so I think she'll appreciate one for Chrissy 😊

    I have wanted to make these for ages but have undone all of them because they just didn't look right. I am a learner to crotchet and I have just made my first tea towel topper thanks to you.
    You made it so simple and easy to follow.
    I have 4 more to make, wanted to make for a birthday gift.
    Thankyou so very much

    I watched several videos on blanket stitch yours the easiest, I figured another way to help, you know when you put the tail of yarn in crease to crochet in, well I took a piece the length of the towel and it worked great as a guide NY work looks so much better thanks for this video.

    Thank you for showing how to create a hanging crochet topped towel! On your first row, I noticed you grab the yarn differently. Also, you wrap the yarn counter clockwise. I think that is a result of you being self-taught. I think the result is the same. Was wondering if you noticed you did that?!? Thank you for your video!

    Easiest towel pattern yet! I thought at the beginning you said 8 or 9 stitches remaining. I decided to do 9. I think it works well because the buttons I had on hand are 1.25 in.

  • @SuperDenise128
    @SuperDenise128 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I do my blanket stitch different. You crochet different than I do too. It looks like you grab the yarn from above when you make a stitch. I go under yarn and grab yarn from below, I don't know if I am describing how I do it but it is completely different. But same end result. Very nice pattern. Thank you.

  • @georgia8678
    @georgia8678 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    your decreases are regular decreases - insert hook, yo, pull through, insert hook in next stitch, yo, pull through, yo, pull through all three.
    An inv dec is: insert hook into FLO of the next 2 stitches (so you end up with both FLO on the hook, no yo in between), yo, pull through both FLO, yo, pull through. Invisible decrease dont work very well in flat/standard crochet because youre turning the work and the back loops arent being decreased, and are pretty much only used in amigurumi

    You're wasting a huge amount of time with that extremely long yarn for your blanket stitch. It's so easy to just start again with a new piece of yarn when you run out - you can easily hide it. My general rule of thumb is make the thread (yarn) about the length of thumb to elbow after it's folder over and it will be easy to manage & safe a ton of time! Excellent video.

    • @FatLadyCrochet
      @FatLadyCrochet  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You don't. The most important thing is to leave a 1/2 inch between the blanket stitches. But as you go, you'll reduce the stitch count of each row by 3, until you you have a row that is 8 or 9 sts. This is better explained in the video.

    From the way I see this, you're crocheting on the vertical line which cuts the towels literally in half. I think there needs to be more of a length give...

    • @FatLadyCrochet
      @FatLadyCrochet  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The tea towels I'm using are folded in half, but the crocheting is worked along the horizontal edge - in other words, if I fold a 20" x 30" tea towel in half, I'll work along the top edge of the fold, which is 20" long, leaving 2 sides of the piece that are 15" long. Hope that makes sense!
