    My flower is PERFECT! I just added flowers to 3 different projects. My husband was so impressed. I love this.

    I'm just so a begginer in this crochet art, I don't speak english as a first language, I'm left handed, but I've been able to craft a lot of flowers following your instruccions step by step, playing and pausing the video over and over. Then just for mere curiosity after a long time using this video went to read the comments and found all this people complaining about a single freaking stitch. Is insane.
    Girl mom of five your flower is the best, your instruccions are amizingly easy to follow and thanks a million times to teach me so well darling. Don't read these wackos singlestitchistits.

    I read the comments before I started, so I didn't find the variation on a sc confusing. Made a very pretty flower for the baby hat I had just finished. Thanks for taking the time to post the video. Good job!

    Everything is confusing when you are learning. I hit that rewind button about 30 times and my work looked crazy but as I went along it got better and I was able to tell what I was doing wrong and it got smoother. I was rewinding on every 4 words (LOL). I am so proud of my flower that i was showing my husband every petal.

    Thank you for taking the time to help us by putting together the video. Your crocheted flowers came out beautifully! I am a visual learner, so I find videos to be much more helpful than trying to read through a set of directions. Watching you complete this flower has been extremely helpful!

    Thank you for the video! I am not an experienced crocheter but I made a headband and a flower today for my baby girl and am so proud of myself! I love it!

    Oh my gosh! I love this! I have always made super easy things because I got bored one day as a kid and taught myself how to crochet, but yesterday I began watching videos determined to make some stuff for the holidays this year. I made a successful beanie, beret, daisy and this was, by far, the EASIEST to understand of all of the videos I watched! THANK YOU!!!

    I have tried to make a layered flower from many different videos/patterns. This is the only one I have been able to figure out thank you!!!

  • @olivegoold530
    @olivegoold530 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I watched all 3 parts of your tutorial this morning and found it great, in fact I then a crocheted a flower to go onto to the top of a beret I've just knitted for my grand-daughter, embellished it with a few pearls in the centre and a pin clip on back, this way it can be fastened onto the duffel coat I've knitted to go with the hat. It just a great flower, so simple but so classy looking.

  • @PammysPC
    @PammysPC 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wonderfully made. Your instructions were easy to follow and it was my first three dimensional flower. Whoop! Whoop! What you call a single crochet is different from what I call it but since it is noticeable then do what she does and don’t worry about the terms. I did this pattern with her single crochet stitch and then with my single crochet stitch and it still lovely.Thank You. We all go by what we are taught. Foundation Single Crochet in verbal instruction is often reduced to Single Crochet.

  • @rachnaanil1726
    @rachnaanil1726 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I loved the flower. This was the first flower I made that had a professional look to it. Your instructions are super clear and easy to follow. The pattern itself is real easy as well. Thank u.

    @susansanders2831 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you don't like the way she does her video don't watch it and make your rude comments. I have used her video for many headbands and flowers and mine seem to come out wonderful and everyone I make them for love them so she must be doing something right. Keep up the wonderful job I love your videos

  • @jenellsaphid
    @jenellsaphid 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was also confused on the stitch titles but after reading the comments through it's clearer... Can't wait to try it!

  • @prettypolenthusiast
    @prettypolenthusiast 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Using youtube i am teaching myself to crohet. Your instructional videos have been my favourites thus far - least confusing, easiest to follow and a joy to follow along with. I was almost ready to give up out of frustration but you have put the joy back in the craft for me. With many thanks and my warmest regards, I will be continuing to crochet along side you : ) M from Oz xo

  • @azbelle3
    @azbelle3 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for this... I saw a similar flower on another site and could not figure it out from only her written instructions. Having the video helped me do it on the first try! I have to agree that the SC you are showing is not how I learned how to do a SC, but I like it!

    Thank you for posting. This is my favourite crochet flower pattern yet! So adorable and fun to make. Your instructions were very helpful and I didn't need a patt. at all.

    @lilianetesla1240 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a beautiful tutorial. Very clear, every last stitch! is demonstrated, and the music adds the finishing touch. I needed to think of first pulling up a loop through the "hole" and then working the single crochet in it, yarn over for the double crochet, pull up a loop through the hole and work the double crochet, etc. Made a very respectable rosette. Thank you, epicabundance!

    @gugga56 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Making a chemo hat for a friend and I needed a flower. Yours was the third video I watched; the first two were so confusing. I understood your directions perfectly and my first one turned out great. The center opening was kind of large but I had planned on sewing a button in the middle, anyway. It is perfect.

  • @truegdiva
    @truegdiva 12 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @StargazinGummybears
    @StargazinGummybears 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I didn't know look at the video and just made one by the narration; it turned out fine! It was a little sparse between petals, so I added an extra double crochet and it's beautiful! I'm thankful I found this tutorial as I've tried in the past to make flowers similar to this, but failed miserably. Thanks epicabundance for the video!!!

    I love your flowers. I am using up old bits of yarn to make tons of flowers. My two-year old daughter now has a hat to match every outfit!
    I also sew a little rhinestone in the center for a bit of sparkle. :-)
    Thanks!

  • @LivingtheAlife
    @LivingtheAlife 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for noticing and pointing this out. I was just trying the tutorial and my project was coming out like the one in the video. Then I noticed that the single crochet was different then what I was used to. At first I thought I was doing it wrong but when I looked it up I was right all along. I just had to throw in the towel on this one and moved on to another project.

    @MrsJoAnnaD 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the lesson! . I've made one in every color for crochet headbands and baby hats to attach with buttons. It's also very versatile! I've made several that are only 2 layers for smaller flowers and once on mistake, I had 9 petals on the second row but it actually turned out cool(tighter and more defined) so I've made some with 9 petals on purpose since then!

  • @gabriellavaomotou3153

  • @pogonipnv
    @pogonipnv 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love this flower and your instructions are so easy to follow! I'm calling your single crochet an "abundance single" (since it has a bit to it than the one I learned--it seems appropriate given your channel name)! Can't wait to see this flower on the baby cap I'm making!!! Thanks!

  • @louiseknighton494

    Thank you for this trio of wonderful tutorials, having never picked up a crochet hook before this project may not have been the best to "learn" with, however your video's are so easy to follow, my second flower looks just like yours. I am so pleased with myself. Thank you again, keep up the wonderful work, now on to a beanie xXx Louise

    @smokeyab920 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yippee, I, a definite beginner, made this flower. some parts are a little wonkey but I figured it out and it got better as I got to the second and third petals. I kept telling my husband not to talk to me. A nine year old neighbor is learning also and has got me interested and motivated again. So I had to go back and start learning basics all over again. It is so great and you are so sweet. Thanks for the help.

  • @annakiesser3293
    @annakiesser3293 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    you can always do normal single crochets but i tried the way that she does and it turned out beautiful every time. and you do 2 double crochets in the first set of petals, 3 in the 2nd set of petals, and 4 in the 3rd round.. :) it really is worth the time to make these

  • @mariamarfil1620
    @mariamarfil1620 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is true that it is not single crochet but, you people, instead of pointing out the benefits
    of something new and leave nice comments telling her that she is not calling the stitch
    properly, you attack? As for me, I learned a new stitch that, I don't know how it is called
    but I think is very useful and I am a crocheter of more that 50 years. Lovely teacher.
    Thank you

  • @camillefoote5678
    @camillefoote5678 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    These flowers are beautiful. I haven't tried the pattern yet, I'm wondering why start with 8 ch 2 sps if only 5 are needed? I know some patterns start with fewer sps then have to space out 8 ch sps for the next round. No matter I guess as these flowers are very nice. I wonder if you always do extended sc's, or specifically for this pattern?

  • @MyBambi77
    @MyBambi77 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just watched this too and I agree with b3autifulife. The single crochet has an extra chain in it. It's still a beautiful flower; however. Thanks for sharing!

  • @ameyer2208
    @ameyer2208 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Ooh it's called extended sc! Thanks! Thank you for this tutorial, great job!!!

  • @LindaBkrWms
    @LindaBkrWms 10 ปีที่แล้ว +58

    I see what she is doing on what people are calling the extended single crochet Instead of just a single crochet, she is doing a variation on a half double crochet that is less bulky. Her method is to draw up a loop, YO draw thru 1, YO draw thru 2. This elongates the stitch which is what I think she wants to do. If she were to do an hdc the body of the stitch would be too bulky. I did two flowers, the 1st was the basic sc then for the second flower I did her version of the sc.The differences that I found are that her flower will be slightly larger because of the extension of the sc and when I did the flower with a basic sc it was slightly smaller. Also note that her sc version makes the ch 2 spaces a little easier to see and the flower is a tad lacier as well... I think the extended sc gives an overall rounder and lacier look. IDK just my opinion after 30+ years crocheting is to tell newer crocheters not to be thrown off by a variation. Try doing her sc version then do your own basic sc version of the flower then compare...:P

    Is that how you do your SC? It is almost like a HDC. OK, I see the comment down the line, it is an extended SC, see, I learned something new!! Been crocheting (thread) for close to 40 yrs, always something new to be learned....love it.
