Bonnie, thank you for tthis. I love your patterns. I have your Celtic afghan book. It is so clear, and full of gorgeous projects. And it is amazing to be able to watch your videos when I'm just not too sure. I love your video style. You get right to the point without filling half the video with goofy chat, yet I know that you are a lovely warm person. ❤
Love the look of the double crochet on the CW. Keep up the amazing tutorials. I enjoy doing a refresher course before designing my own patterns. God bless.
❤ Have been wanting to learn celtic stitches for a long time and so happy to have finally found your videos! Reading the instructions vs. seeing them actually worked is so much better for complicated stitches. Now on to the cable stitches! WHEW! THANK YOU!!
Bonnie, you just have the absolute most beautiful ideas. I usually don't even watch the whole video, before I "like" them. Your videos are always worth saving.
@@BonnieBayCrochet alas not from Ireland. Just moved here from Switzerland. ☘️ Ireland has something magical that I haven’t found anywhere else 🤗 I’m doing the scarf from the Celtic Cable Crochet book with an amazing Irish made yarn, multicoloured one that look like the Irish countryside in autumn 🥰 a blessing 🤗
Bonnie, I love listening to your voice as you explain a pattern. It is so soothing and stress free! It reminds me of the style of speaking Bob Ross, the painting artist had. His voice has a way of convincing me I could accomplish anything he was trying to teach me and I feel the same way watching your tutorials☺️
Yay! This is one of the first stitches I developed more than 10 years ago. So glad you are able to understand it because it makes such a lovely fabric!
I am seriously in Love with this stitch, The Celtic Weave. It's so very pretty and I can't wait to incorporate it into a pattern. Thank you Bonnie for sharing this with us all. It is always good to have more than 1 choice on how to do it.
Thank you for this tutorial. I have wanted to learn this stitch for a while, and it's hard to find a presenter that is pleasant to listen too, and you obviously are very experienced and knowledgable in crochet. Thank you again!
Thank you Colleen! This is one of the stitches I've developed, so it's very easy for me to teach this one. I have another coming to my channel tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to encourage me!
Thanks Philomena. I developed this stitch back in 2009, but there are many other videos out there created after my original one (made before digital age).
Nope! LOL! Even with trying the double crochet way, I still just can't do it with my arthritis. I really did give it a go though. Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow... it's just my hands that don't want to cooperate with those last two back-post DC's of each weave. I very much appreciate your time and patience to show us this, and for getting me to try this stitch yet again (I've tried many times previously). ❤
Thanks Jane! It's actually an oldie by goldie in my first book, called "Doolin Delight!" It will be a multi-week crochet along coming in the next few weeks.
@@BonnieBayCrochet You are very welcome. I don't think I have ever seen that book. Is Doolin Delight still available somewhere? I really look forward to this upcoming crochet along! Thanks for the update.
Thank you for your tutorial and explanation/demonstration!=I tried learning this same pattern from another tutorial with only confusion and thinking there's no way on earth I'd be able to make it. After your tutorial I completely feel confident 😃🙃. I have always liked celtic designs but have never tried making one(knitting or crocheting). Now I will 😍
Wonderful teacher! Your kids must love you. I worked with at risk teens in high schools for years and one learns to recognise those who have the calling. I would ask your opinion on this stitch when it comes to blankets worked in the round. Although I prefer the tighter DC stitch, I'm not sure it would sit as well as the TC. I figure you've made enough blankets to know 🙏☺️
THANK YOU. I am trying to make my daughter a baby blanket and the pattern I bought has a very similar (barely different) stitch and the pattern is a bit vague so I have been having a really trying time. Your stitch looks exactly the same but done so much easier!
I'm going to try this stitch with a velvet yarn, I've been looking for something with a promanent look that might not be lost in the velvet yarn. I'll let you know how it goes ;-)
I am also going to used Bernat velvet yarn for a blanket. My niece will be turning 17 and wanted a new blanket for when she went to collage next year. The first one I made is 17yrs old. 🤣😂
@@wickedbunny2020 I haven’t gotten to it yet, lol sorry, I’ve been working on a rainbow graphgan I made fir my granddaughter, 190 stitches, 212 rows, just got the border done today and working on tucking the ends in. Probably get to the velvet end of June for an August anniversary present
Just a suggestion to help those who have eye problems. Use contrast between yarn and background. Use poster Boards of light gray behind dark yarns and medium dark gray behind light yarns, the contrast would would be particularly useful to see detail on complicated stitches. This is not a criticism, as hou are a great teacher. 9
When creating a project with a variety of aran stitches that have different stitch counts per motifhow do you accommodate the variation at the ends . And you show varied size hooks for varied stirches. Would you also change hooks from stitch types?
Great question Lorraine! I generally go back to my algebra and find the greatest common factor for all the different multiples of the stitches I will be using. I generally keep the same hook for all stitches except the popcorn stitch where I upsize the hook.
Happy Monday Bonnie❤️ how do you think this stitch would look in an Ombré yarn? I’ve been fixing, packing and moving out of my house of almost 29 years the last couple of months. I am finally finished, sold it, went to closing so now I’m taking a day of vacation🤣🤣
@@BonnieBayCrochet thank you Bonnie I will let you know what it looks like here in a week or so lol I’ve got to finish this one project I’m working on ❤️
Thank you. Again! I love the look of cables, BUT, how do I avoid a stretch chain on the top. I always end up with big holes where they connect or cross. I tried tightening my tension, loosening, going slower, etc... running out of ideas. Please help. Thank you 😊
HI Everyone, Hi Bonnie, Thank you for your very clear videos and your absolutely beautiful designs. I just finished my first one and it was a BLISS. I now want to make the beautiful blue design you show at the very beginning of the video. As it was supposed to be realised after that, I watched the following videos on your channel but I'm struggling to find it. Please could you help me ? Thank you very much in advance
@@BonnieBayCrochet Oh ! it's this one ! I didn't recognized it ! Thank you very much for your quick answer. I can't wait to take a look as soon as I finish my current project which is the cabled mitts ! Thank you very much
Hello Bonnie, can u please tell me the name of the pattern that is present before and after the celtic weave pattern in the blue color shawl you were showing in the starting of the video. Is that arrow stitch?
So sorry for the late delay Anna. This comment never appears in my incoming feed for some reason. The stitch on the borders of the Celtic Weave in that shown example is the braided cable.
Hello Hun, I have a question. Can the Celtic weave stitch be done in the flat round? The reason I ask is because I cannot figure out how to add stitches as the circle grows, in order to keep it flat. Thanks for any help you can give me. Have a blessed week. 😁
That’s a little tricky. I actually this flat in the round in the Aran CircularRug on my channel by adding many extra stitches in the base round so that several rounds can be crocheted without adding more.
I prefer the Susan Bates Soft hooks Sandee. They are the best I have found (and I have tried those expensive ones too) and probably the most economical for the quality. I have links in the video descriptions for these.
Hello, Sweet Bonnie, as useall your pattern is wonderfull. I'm working on the Lattice Cable poncho but I'm ripping my hair out (French metaphor).... I've realized 2 diamonds and I think I'm wrong for the 3RD. Can I send you a picture for you to see where I'm doing bad things. Don't worry, it is not your explanation, It is me who have a problem with the pattern. Thank you so much.
It's on my home page, but I'll repost for you here Mary. Should you ever need the left-handed version of any of my videos, just check my home page and put the name in the search bar in the upper right. th-cam.com/video/jRHQDVvkRNM/w-d-xo.html
I love the look of the Celtic Stitch, however, I don't like the look of the back of that stitch. I want the back to look exactly like the front. I found that if you do the front post stitch and the back post stitch in each row, the Celtic stitch will appear the same front and back.
At the beginning of the second row , you did not indicate the skipped stitches to start the Celtic stitch. Had to guess what you were doing. I’ve done this stitch before , I just wanted a recap, but for a beginner this would be hard to follow because you missed steps.
I’ve done her Celtic weave and at first it felt bumpy but my hands got used to it. I have bad hands and bad arthritis. So if you go slowly and follow the pattern it will come out beautiful. ☺️
Bonnie, thank you for tthis. I love your patterns. I have your Celtic afghan book. It is so clear, and full of gorgeous projects.

I’m so grateful for this video. I thought that I was the only one with difficulty with this stitch. Thank you!!!! Practice, practice.
Love your videos, no nonsense and just the facts ty, ty❤
I'm so glad you mentioned that discontinuing the pattern lessens the curling, bc I was super worried about that!
You are such a great teacher with really interesting patterns which I love. Thanks from Australia.

I couldn’t agree more Patti ❤️
I think that that's why I understood the pattern better than the other lady's tutorial I tried learning (the exact same pattern)from.
You have saved the Celtic weave ! The stitching is so much easier! Bless ya !
Yay! So glad this is working for you Boho Rose! Love your name!
Oh my gosh now this makes so much more sense, thank you. You are a wonderful talent in each it these pattern stiches

How many chains do I need for a. 80 x 90 afghan. I am making your winter white throw
That all depends on many other variables. I can tell you that you can lengthen this by adding multiples of 12 to the existing starting chain.

Try using the front post double crochets and a chain 2 when starting new rows.
