While looking for the right yarn to make a project today, I was at Hobby Lobby and a lady asked me if I crochet, which I told her I do. She was new to crochet and wanted to practice making stitches by crocheting a dishcloth. I led her to the I Love This Cotton. She wanted some help by watching how the stitches are made and I told her about your site, Crystal. She subscribed right away. I told her that you were a very good teacher and would teach her a lot about crochet
Right on ladies! I send on patterns now n then. I discovered a skein of fab frosty green. One of those hidden gems. Gonna make me some holiday cheer. Many blessings ya'll! If more people were crocheting I bet there would be a lot more peace n love on this planet. 😁
I love watching you. I can understand your teaching. November I found out I have a very rare cancer. Now when I go to check my bloodwork, now I am taking in crochet hats for the other patients. Winter is moving in and it’s really cold. When you don’t have hair it’s worse. And I made it in to Joann’s today and got some yarn. Thanks for telling us about the sale. Blessings to you and your family.
Hi! So sorry about your illness!!! But you are doing something so positive, making hats for the other patients! I’m sure they are thrilled!!! Know they were made w/love!!! I hope you get better real soon!!! Prays coming your way!!! ❤️
Prayers for you to get better very soon. How beautiful your soul is to face this challenge by showing love to others. God bless you and prayers that everyone gets well❤️🙏🙏❤️
Blessings to you as well. Here you are, sick, yet you are giving back. When you don't know what to do, doing something for others is the best choice. God bless you in your journey. ❤
One row repeat, no multiple and looks the same on both sides. Who could ask for anything more 😊 Love the look of this and has a nice straight edge too. Thanks for another great stitch Crystal!
I lIke the half double crochet st but *this is so much cooler looking! It's a 1 row, mindless, beautiful look for *any project... You did it AGAIN CRYSTAL!
Wow! This stitch is SO much fun! It does take a lot of yarn. However, it's worth it. And yes. I totally agree with you about being able to work this pattern and watch tv. As others have said, you ARE a great teacher! And, I have passed you along to others that are starting out learning how to crochet. The internet was not around back when I first started over 50 years ago. After my grandma taught me the very basics, I was self-taught. I can only imagine how different it would have been to have had someone like around. Thank you for all the hard work you do for us by making and passing your tutorials. Kudos to you! ❤️
Hey Crystal, just wanted to take a moment to day thank you for all that yoy do for all of us! You are so eay to watch and I never hesitate to tell newbies about your channel as I believe you are one of the best teachers on You Tube. Slow enough for newbies but not so slow that more experienced get impatient. Just wanted to say thank you for giving so much of yourself to us. May God bless you as abundantly as you have blessed us.
My daughter had surgery and wanted to learn to crochet -she lives 800 miles away so I told her to look you up and watch your tutorials. She made her fist scarf!❤️
You’re the best teacher I’ve ever encountered and I’ve been crocheting over 50 years. So that’s saying something! Keep up the great work! And thank you!
Boy, you weren't kidding about zipping right along with this one. Nice thick stitch, too! I'm a little worried because it does seem like my ball is getting small faster than my scarf is growing, but if I have enough this is going to be fantastic for our current 0 degrees NY right now! Thank you, Crystal! Hugs!
Great stitch! I think I will incorporate this with another stitch for a scarf. I have to tell you again how much I appreciate how you teach. You use a white background which really helps, you show us close up, you pull the stitches apart and really show us where to place the stitch and you don't rush. You are the best teacher out here! I always tell fellow crocheters about your channel. Wishing you a beautiful day.💖🥰
I like this one. Easy, fast, reversable, no stitch count needed, just chain to desired width. For this stitch though, like the moss stitch, I will use a bobby pin on the chain1 at end of rows. No missing them that way. And bobby pins work easier than stitch markers. 🙂
Hi Crystal…. Thank you for the new stitch. I am making my son a 90” wide blanket for his bed. I picket out 5 colors chocolate brown, off white, goldenrod, garnet and navy blue. I want the blanket to be 90” to 100” long. It will have pieces 90” x no more than 10” connected together. Each segment with have a different stitch or pattern. I saw this in a book and thought it would be a great way to learn new stitches and possibly some mosaics. Thank you for all of the stitches you have taught me. Love this channel🌻🧶❤️🌼🌼
I know this is a year, I have has this saved to learn my kid wanted a blanket and I am not good at blankets. You are so correct this is fast once you get started and get into the swing of the stitch. I only had 6 weight yarn on hand from other crafts I do. This is gorgeous THANK YOU SO MUCH💚🧶 was hoping I could post you a picture.
Thanks Crystal, for once again teaching an old dog another “trick”. What a great stitch! When I re-entered this wonderful world of crochet earlier this year with only the basic skill of simple sc & dc, never in my wildest dream would I ever dream I’d be able to do the stitches & projects you have taught me! Nor would I have thought that I could even anticipate your next move on a limited amount of these things. I can even watch some clips that show up on my Instagram of crochet & know what stitch they are showing with their music.😃 Amazing myself when I’m crocheting, that I no longer have to rewind your tutorial for the tenth time or refer to the pattern I bought just for back up, & I can just crochet with confidence & with sheer ease & enjoyment! Thank you sweet lady for sharing your time & talent with us! ❤❤
Thanks so much for being concise, slowing down, and explaining and clearly pointing out where you’re at on your work! Your videos are the best ones I’ve found.
I've been looking at you for a few years now and I still think you're the best I'm 78 and I haven't been crocheting but I'm going to do this stitch .Thank You so much.❤😂😂😂
I Love watching you. I just wanted to let you know that your instructions are on point. You can crochet this stitch rather quickly into a scarf. Very easy and so enjoyable. Thank you for this new stitch.
- I have been crocheting since I was 5 years old in 1962 and I have never came across this stich! 😃 I'm going to use it for a tote bag, I think. Thank You!!! 🤩 /Lisbeth from Sweden 🇸🇪
Love this pattern. Great for what my daughter and I want to do. We are going to take our scraps and make blankets for the humane society. There are no holes for paws to get caught on. Your videos are so easy to understand. Thank you so much.
Hi Crystal just want to say Happy Thankgiving I’m Thankful for all that you teach not just crochet. This Daisy the lady you answered an email about two years ago. yes I’m crocheting now also. God Bless you and family💕
I absolutely love you, you explain everything so patiently and as many times as you think we need…. I found your site maybe 2 months ago, but it wasn’t until you did your video on opening your new yarn from Germany that I actually fell in love with your site. Thank you for teaching us old dog new things. ❤
After taking apart a blanket that was a six row repeat that was hurting my brain, this popped up and gave me such inspiration!! Thank you , thank you, thank you!!!!!!
I watch several tutorials but, yours are always the easiest to follow. I love how slow you go with every stitch. I consider myself an intermediate but with a new stitch, we are all beginners. Thank you, sweet lady.
This looks like it would make a nice warm blanket it cardigan. Not to mention the stitch is beautiful. Thank you for this tutorial. I love the nice straight edge. It had a finished look on its own.
I love watching your videos of crochet stitches and patterns. You make it look so easy. You teach so wonderfully well by explaining each step. Love your channel.
This is beautiful! ...And easy and works up quickly. My new favorite stitch. And yes, I agree about being able to watch tv doing it, because it's easy... Looks the same, back and front, and one row repeat. Thank you for this sweet tutorial! ✨️💖✨️
I have always loved watching you I am a new crocheter and I made a blanket for my husband with one of your tutorials! ❤I am going to try this stitch next for a friend on mine that is a truck driver!! Thank you so much for all that you do and your great work and how you explain things very well! ❤
Love this stitch and it’s so easy and fast to do! I love the way you teach also, no guess work on where you put your stitch, it’s clear and precise as you show it! GREAT JOB!
Thank you, Crystal. I agree that this is a very pretty and fast stitch to make. I'm going to watch the link to the hat using this stitch right now. I plan to use this stitch for the hats I made. I've sent so many people to your site for your tutorials and yarn content. Your channel was my very first TH-cam video, and I made one of your baby dresses. (Actually, it wasn't even a video back then, just audio.) My 11 year old granddaughter is now using your tutorials as well. You are an amazing instructor and you are very easy to follow. I especially like the lack of background music, because it makes it easier to actually hear what you are saying. Background music can be very distracting, in my opinion, while someone is learning something new. Thanks so much for all that you do for us.
Thank you for showing us how to recognize the chain at the end of the rows, in order to obtain straight, clean edges. and....Thank you for attaching instructions for making a hat 🤸.
By watching your video, I you taught me a beautiful new crochet stitch; half double knot stitch. I had so much fun. You were a fantastic instructor. I was able to follow your instructions without much difficulty. The video was close to the camara and easier to watch your instructions. Your voice was slow and clear. I felt repeating the stitches was important while following your crochet technique. After following along with your instructions and finishing two rows, I was excited. It looked just like yours on the video. I agree it is a beautiful stitch. Thank you for sharing your video and instructions. I will continue my crochet half double, knot stitch, while continuing to crochet my blanket. After completing my project, I will present it to my family member, as a gift with pride 😅 Thanks to you. I am looking forward to watching your instructions again and learning how to crochet a border. Blessings and again thank you for your informative crochet video 🎉❤
Ok so I started this and I love it!!!! It does go fast!!! I'm making a cardigan out of this stitch, knotted double crochet stitch is awesome I've been on it for 3 hours almost got half the back panel done!!! Thank you no more 1/2 double for me bc I love this stitch so much more!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank You Crystal 💐 that truly is a wonderful stitch that I have never seen before, I'm doing a double strand afghan for someone & I think they are going to love it 🥰 thanks to you🌷💖
Thanks so much for sharing this simple stitch. I am about to teach my daughter how to crochet. This stitch will definitely be one of the first I'll share with her. I love it!! Again, thanks, Crystal. You are awesome!! ❤
I’m loving this stitch and it is super fast and way easier than the half double crochet stitch, which is also my least favorite stitch. Somehow this stitch is much easier. Thanks so much for sharing this pattern. ❤
I had never seen this stitch before, and like you, hdc is my least favorite stitch, bit I think the knotted hdc will quickly become a favorite. I'm thinking this stich, besides all the things you mentioned, would with cotton yarn, be perfect for dishcloths. Thank You for sharing your time, and your talent with all of us.
A great pattern, it looks almost like the tunisian stitches. I love making blankets for famly and donating. This quick pattern will be my go to project. I really like your channel and tutorials, and share them all.
I love this stitch, and I think I will make a set of placemats for a friend. I have raved about you to others and recommended you highly. You are the best teacher, Crystal!
Yes you are I love the way you teach/ explain your patterns you do a great thank you. As go this stitch I love it one of your many beautiful patterns thanks again.
I just wanted to say Thank you! I am self-taught beginner crocheter and have been looking for new patterns. I REALLY like and appreciate how you explain everything while also being to the point and now drawing it out. I look forward to this blanket I'm about to begin, and also checking out your other videos. Again, much thanks!!!
I love this stitch. I was trying to think of a good stitch for a very warm New England winter type blanket. Thank you, Crystal! You came through for me once again and at the perfect time!
I did not even know I was missing out on this stitch! It does work up quick and I love it. Thanks so much for another great Tutorial and helping to keep my love of crochet fresh and exciting.
My son wants me to crochet an Oregon duck colored afghan for his Christmas gift so I went on the hunt for crochet stitches. I wanted to use something a little different and I ran across your tutorial for this Knotted Half Double Crochet tutorial. I love this it's easy but cool looking and I love that it looks the same on both sides, and I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing it.
That is a very pretty stitch. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your tutorials and how you take the time to really explain and show exactly where the hook goes and what you are doing.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was trying to find a stitch I could make a scarf for my daughter's birthday. She wants one that's a more solid stitch and I wanted one I could relax with. You solved our dilemma! 😊
I just love this stitch! I am working on my second blanket with this stitch. I did figure out a trick for me tho. I am using a size J hook on body but for beginning chain I used an L hook because my work was curling. Problem solved using the bigger hook for chaining!
I love this stitch. I actually love the half double crochet so I'm thinking I could actually enjoy making a blanket of this stitch. My problem is I do get a little bored when trying to make a full - blanket sized project. This looks fun though, maybe in a variegated yarn to break up the colors! Thank you again for sharing your skills with us!
I have been watching you for years and years and I love watching you crochet and the patterns you come up with and the stitches You are really something else I enjoy every minute of your videos.. I have been crocheting Since since 195When I made my 1st blanket And I have loved it ever since.... Keep up the good work!!!😍
I ow you are a fantastic teacher!! Someone was I was watching said this stitch was confusing but after the watched your video, you know I can make this!! Ty queen for the wonderful teaching of crochet stitches and how easy u explain them!! ❤
I really enjoy your videos. Your style and personality are more my "cup of tea" than that of most other designers. You're regular folk, and I am, too. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing your talent and expertise with the masses!
am Crocheting this stitch in Different colors makin a Wrap Around Throw it's lookin so beautiful. thk you 💯⚘️Crystal for this tutorial video on how to do this stitch
Simply beautiful and I can’t get over how bone straight the sides are. No need for a border whatsoever. Love it. Will def. be making a few things with the stitch, but first a wrap for my teenage niece. Thank you Crystal for sharing your knowledge with us. ❤
Thank you, Crystal!! I was looking for a stitch to use with a herringbone for a blanket; had to be easy, had to have no multiples and most importantly - had to look the same on both sides. This one ticked all the boxes. You’re the best!!
Hi Crystal, you always come up with great tutorials. I don't know where you find the time to do it ,but I do appreciate all your tutorials and your love and passion for this community. You're getting close to one million. I'll be there when you do. Hugs 🫂 Donna 💙💙💙💙💙
Hi Crystal, I just went to order the Mona Lisa yarn in the Merlot, and they were out of it. They will notify me when they get it back in stock. Thank you for the review of that yarn. It's beautiful. Thanks again.
I've been crocheting 63 years. I'm not a show-me person. I learn by reading. I don't understand that we are going to drop a stitch, have 3 left when I only have 3 to begin with. I would really like to learn this stitch. Maybe I can find it on the Internet with less words. instance rowinstance
I just recently started crocheting again after learning from my grandmother when I was 15... 40 years ago. Took a minute to get my groove back. I've discovered the plethora of hooks, smorgasbord of yarn, and abundance of book choices that we didn't have back then, lol. So, now I've started searching on line for some visual tutorials which we also didn't have and I happened upon your channel and this tutorial, specifically. Bravo! Your explanations and demonstrations are clear and concise. They are paced and repeated perfectly for anybody at any level to follow along successfully. I look forward to searching your database for more. Thank you
I like how neat and clean each row looks, I just learned I have been over tightening my rows and making myself frustrated because I cannot see what I am doing. I also need a bigger handled needle to keep me on track. Thanks!
While looking for the right yarn to make a project today, I was at Hobby Lobby and a lady asked me if I crochet, which I told her I do. She was new to crochet and wanted to practice making stitches by crocheting a dishcloth. I led her to the I Love This Cotton. She wanted some help by watching how the stitches are made and I told her about your site, Crystal. She subscribed right away. I told her that you were a very good teacher and would teach her a lot about crochet
I have done also. Just recently in Walmart and passed Crystal and Bag o day to her. It's actually happened a few times. Love her. 😊
I, too, have recommended Crystal to many new crocheting beginners. ❤
I think you gave her very good advice!
Right on ladies! I send on patterns now n then. I discovered a skein of fab frosty green. One of those hidden gems. Gonna make me some holiday cheer. Many blessings ya'll! If more people were crocheting I bet there would be a lot more peace n love on this planet. 😁
Beautiful pattern ❤😊
I love watching you. I can understand your teaching. November I found out I have a very rare cancer. Now when I go to check my bloodwork, now I am taking in crochet hats for the other patients. Winter is moving in and it’s really cold. When you don’t have hair it’s worse. And I made it in to Joann’s today and got some yarn. Thanks for telling us about the sale. Blessings to you and your family.
Hi! So sorry about your illness!!! But you are doing something so positive, making hats for the other patients! I’m sure they are thrilled!!! Know they were made w/love!!! I hope you get better real soon!!! Prays coming your way!!! ❤️
Prayers for you to get better very soon. How beautiful your soul is to face this challenge by showing love to others. God bless you and prayers that everyone gets well❤️🙏🙏❤️

I pray you are doing well. ** You are an amazing woman and give love to many. ** May God Bless You **
One row repeat, no multiple and looks the same on both sides. Who could ask for anything more 😊 Love the look of this and has a nice straight edge too. Thanks for another great stitch Crystal!
I lIke the half double crochet st but *this is so much cooler looking! It's a 1 row, mindless, beautiful look for *any project... You did it AGAIN CRYSTAL!

Hey Crystal, just wanted to take a moment to day thank you for all that yoy do for all of us! You are so eay to watch and I never hesitate to tell newbies about your channel as I believe you are one of the best teachers on You Tube. Slow enough for newbies but not so slow that more experienced get impatient. Just wanted to say thank you for giving so much of yourself to us. May God bless you as abundantly as you have blessed us.
Thank you so much!!
I agree with this comment!
My daughter had surgery and wanted to learn to crochet -she lives 800 miles away so I told her to look you up and watch your tutorials. She made her fist scarf!❤️
I enjoyed your double half knot stitch. I will be watching again to try it.
I always love a one row repeat. Beautiful stitch. Thanks Crystal ❤❤❤
Hi, Misty Blue... it's great to see you on this channel again! I hope that you have a blessed day.
You’re the best teacher I’ve ever encountered and I’ve been crocheting over 50 years. So that’s saying something! Keep up the great work! And thank you!
Wow, thank you! 🥰 I appreciate that!
Boy, you weren't kidding about zipping right along with this one. Nice thick stitch, too! I'm a little worried because it does seem like my ball is getting small faster than my scarf is growing, but if I have enough this is going to be fantastic for our current 0 degrees NY right now! Thank you, Crystal! Hugs!
Very pretty stitch.
Thank you! 😊
Wow, this is even easier than the linked HDC that I use for all of my dishcloths! I’m excited to try this for kitchen gift sets. Thank you!
Good idea, thanks!
This is going to be one of my go-to stiches. Half double my favorite stitch. Thank you
That's 1 pretty stitch! I love 1 row repeats where I can put on a good show or movie & crochet away! Ty Crystal ❣️❣️❣️
Great stitch! I think I will incorporate this with another stitch for a scarf. I have to tell you again how much I appreciate how you teach.

I enjoy a simple repetitive stitch. It's quite meditative for me. Thank you!
Thank you for teaching this stitch! I love it! Its soooooooooo pretty! ... and you could't ask for a prettier SIMPLE stitch! Thank you!
Wow, i like this stitch. Thank you❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Crystal! I used this stitch for the first time ever with your landslide beanie which I’ve already made 2 of!
Thankyou for your tutorials. I find you very easy to follow. You are a good teacher
Queen of the One Row repeats! Thanks Crystal 🥰
Juat made a mini blanket for my daughter’s favorite stuffed animal. This stitch was perfect and and much fun!
Really like the looks of this stitch - and you're right - it goes FAST!
I’m BOOKING😂NICE STITCH, Thanks Crystal, this really is quick & thick will be very warm. Love it.
Love this stitch and it’s so easy and fast to do!
I love the way you teach also, no guess work on where you put your stitch, it’s clear and precise as you show it! GREAT JOB!
Thank you, Crystal. I agree that this is a very pretty and fast stitch to make. I'm going to watch the link to the hat using this stitch right now. I plan to use this stitch for the hats I made.
I've sent so many people to your site for your tutorials and yarn content.
Your channel was my very first TH-cam video, and I made one of your baby dresses. (Actually, it wasn't even a video back then, just audio.)
My 11 year old granddaughter is now using your tutorials as well.
You are an amazing instructor and you are very easy to follow. I especially like the lack of background music, because it makes it easier to actually hear what you are saying.
Background music can be very distracting, in my opinion, while someone is learning something new.
Thanks so much for all that you do for us.
Thank you for showing us how to recognize the chain at the end of the rows, in order to obtain straight, clean edges. and....Thank you for attaching instructions for making a hat 🤸.
By watching your video, I you taught me a beautiful new crochet stitch; half double knot stitch. I had so much fun. You were a fantastic instructor. I was able to follow your instructions without much difficulty. The video was close to the camara and easier to watch your instructions. Your voice was slow and clear. I felt repeating the stitches was important while following your crochet technique. After following along with your instructions and finishing two rows, I was excited. It looked just like yours on the video. I agree it is a beautiful stitch. Thank you for sharing your video and instructions. I will continue my crochet half double, knot stitch, while continuing to crochet my blanket. After completing my project, I will present it to my family member, as a gift with pride 😅 Thanks to you. I am looking forward to watching your instructions again and learning how to crochet a border. Blessings and again thank you for your informative crochet video 🎉❤
Crystal, you truly are the Queen!!! Thank you, I love this stitch and all the other 1,000000000 of your great videos!!!!! Xoxo
Ok so I started this and I love it!!!! It does go fast!!! I'm making a cardigan out of this stitch, knotted double crochet stitch is awesome I've been on it for 3 hours almost got half the back panel done!!! Thank you no more 1/2 double for me bc I love this stitch so much more!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank You Crystal 💐 that truly is a wonderful stitch that I have never seen before, I'm doing a double strand afghan for someone & I think they are going to love it 🥰 thanks to you🌷💖
Thanks so much for sharing this simple stitch. I am about to teach my daughter how to crochet. This stitch will definitely be one of the first I'll share with her. I love it!! Again, thanks, Crystal. You are awesome!! ❤
Love this stitch! I can see making purses, bags as well as blankets, wearables. Thanks Crystal!!!
I’m loving this stitch and it is super fast and way easier than the half double crochet stitch, which is also my least favorite stitch. Somehow this stitch is much easier. Thanks so much for sharing this pattern. ❤
I had never seen this stitch before, and like you, hdc is my least favorite stitch, bit I think the knotted hdc will quickly become a favorite. I'm thinking this stich, besides all the things you mentioned, would with cotton yarn, be perfect for dishcloths.
Thank You for sharing your time, and your talent with all of us.
A great pattern, it looks almost like the tunisian stitches. I love making blankets for famly and donating. This quick pattern will be my go to project. I really like your channel and tutorials, and share them all.
Thank you 😊
I love the stitch. I’ve used it before and not know what it was called. Thanks Crystal. Hope you’re having a great day.❤
Yes ! Crystal is one of the best teachers I've ever encountered, she explains everything !
I've been looking for a pattern I like that I can make in any size I want. This fits the bill perfectly! Thank you!!
I love this stitch, and I think I will make a set of placemats for a friend. I have raved about you to others and recommended you highly. You are the best teacher, Crystal!
Yes you are I love the way you teach/ explain your patterns you do a great thank you. As go this stitch I love it one of your many beautiful patterns thanks again.
Beautiful stitch with perfectly straight edges. I've been looking for a new stitch for my next blanket. I just found it. Thanks Crystal!
Nice stitch. I like the look of how the stitches lean one way and then the other. Thanks Crystal! ✌️❣️🧶
I just wanted to say Thank you! I am self-taught beginner crocheter and have been looking for new patterns. I REALLY like and appreciate how you explain everything while also being to the point and now drawing it out. I look forward to this blanket I'm about to begin, and also checking out your other videos. Again, much thanks!!!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful! I would use stitch markers at the beginning of each row. Thanks, Crystal.
I love this stitch. I was trying to think of a good stitch for a very warm New England winter type blanket. Thank you, Crystal! You came through for me once again and at the perfect time!
I am doing this stitch in a scarf. It is making a lovely grey scarf. Thanks, Crystal!
I'm a few years late, but I love it! I was looking for a new pattern to make an afghan, hat, scarf with. Thank you.
I did not even know I was missing out on this stitch! It does work up quick and I love it. Thanks so much for another great Tutorial and helping to keep my love of crochet fresh and exciting.
My son wants me to crochet an Oregon duck colored afghan for his Christmas gift so I went on the hunt for crochet stitches. I wanted to use something a little different and I ran across your tutorial for this Knotted Half Double Crochet tutorial. I love this it's easy but cool looking and I love that it looks the same on both sides, and I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing it.
That is a very pretty stitch. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your tutorials and how you take the time to really explain and show exactly where the hook goes and what you are doing.
Thank you for the tutorial. Made a blanket over Christmas time with this stitch and it looks fantastic! Thanks again :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was trying to find a stitch I could make a scarf for my daughter's birthday. She wants one that's a more solid stitch and I wanted one I could relax with. You solved our dilemma! 😊
I just love this stitch! I am working on my second blanket with this stitch. I did figure out a trick for me tho. I am using a size J hook on body but for beginning chain I used an L hook because my work was curling. Problem solved using the bigger hook for chaining!
Thanks!
I love this stitch. I actually love the half double crochet so I'm thinking I could actually enjoy making a blanket of this stitch. My problem is I do get a little bored when trying to make a full - blanket sized project. This looks fun though, maybe in a variegated yarn to break up the colors! Thank you again for sharing your skills with us!
Thanks for clear instructions to not drop stitches at end of row!
Thank you,
Your tutorials are always easy to fallow. When I'm looking for a new stich you are my go to. Again Thank You

I just LOVE your tutorials!!! Thank you so much for helping me grow my craft… hobby… The thing that brings peace to my mind. You are a blessing!!!
I love 1 row repeat patterns, especially when I make so many Beanies & Scarfs for the Holidays. They are quick and pretty. Thanks Crystal 🔮 💖
That is a really pretty stitch! I like the little bit of texture. It makes a lovely fabric.
Simply beautiful and I can’t get over how bone straight the sides are. No need for a border whatsoever. Love it. Will def. be making a few things with the stitch, but first a wrap for my teenage niece.
Thank you Crystal for sharing your knowledge with us. ❤
Thank you, Crystal!! I was looking for a stitch to use with a herringbone for a blanket; had to be easy, had to have no multiples and most importantly - had to look the same on both sides. This one ticked all the boxes. You’re the best!!
Love watching you crochet I can follow you so well mine curl up at one time I watched yours .yours didn’t what am I doing wrong
This is a beautiful stitch. That for being such a great teacher!
I just did a stitch sample. I love this stitch. It makes a soft and cushy fabric. It would be very nice for a cocoon sweater or cozy stole.
Hi Crystal, you always come up with great tutorials. I don't know where you find the time to do it ,but I do appreciate all your tutorials and your love and passion for this community. You're getting close to one million. I'll be there when you do. Hugs 🫂 Donna 💙💙💙💙💙
Hi Crystal, I just went to order the Mona Lisa yarn in the Merlot, and they were out of it. They will notify me when they get it back in stock. Thank you for the review of that yarn. It's beautiful. Thanks again.
I've been crocheting 63 years. I'm not a show-me person. I learn by reading. I don't understand that we are going to drop a stitch, have 3 left when I only have 3 to begin with. I would really like to learn this stitch. Maybe I can find it on the Internet with less words. instance rowinstance

Crystal-Do you end with a single stitch row like you began it with?
I just recently started crocheting again after learning from my grandmother when I was 15... 40 years ago. Took a minute to get my groove back. I've discovered the plethora of hooks, smorgasbord of yarn, and abundance of book choices that we didn't have back then, lol. So, now I've started searching on line for some visual tutorials which we also didn't have and I happened upon your channel and this tutorial, specifically. Bravo! Your explanations and demonstrations are clear and concise. They are paced and repeated perfectly for anybody at any level to follow along successfully. I look forward to searching your database for more. Thank you
I like how neat and clean each row looks, I just learned I have been over tightening my rows and making myself frustrated because I cannot see what I am doing. I also need a bigger handled needle to keep me on track. Thanks!
