Nicki thank you for explaining things well without being wordy and showing things in a clear and to the point way. Your set up is also very wonderful to clearly show how to do things.
Yours is the best video so far ! I am still not getting it but it's only one day and it looks like a tangled mess but that's just me. I'll have to try again tomorrow!
I've watched three videos now for this linked dc and they are all different. They end up with the same look but to get there is completely different. Thank you for your version
Hi Nicki! Your videos are always so clear and easy to follow along! Thank you for a great video on linked double crochet. I think this would be a good stitch for an unlined purse or handbag! It's much denser than just normal double crochet stitches would be. Hot pads or potholders9 would benefit from this stitch, as well. I'm going to try and make a cotton hotpad using linked double crochet stitches and see how it turns out. 🤞👍👋 Thanks again! ❤️💗💞
Hope you are still active , cause I’m just doing a gauge and had no idea what to do . Wish me luck 🤪 My gauge is for a hat so extremely happy that You have both techniques on this tutorial.
Hi I just found you and subscribed love this it's so neat thanks very much I've been crocheting for years and never knew this ,I look forward to watching all your videos,happy crocheting from Ireland 💝💝
@Deborah M. You know, Deborah, I've been crocheting for a really long time and I'm finding so many new aspects of crochet on TH-cam every day! It's amazing how many new tricks this old dog has learned! Lol I love learning new stitches and new and much better ways to accomplish what I'd been doing in the past. Thanks to Nicki and so many others here on TH-cam, there's no end to all the tips and tricks out there! Who woulda thunk it? I love learning all these new ways of doing things!

@Nicki's Homemade Crafts Love this video, your instructions are very clear. I'm designing an ice fishing cozy, and trying to use this stitch. I am stuck when doing this as a continuous round, and how to end it with it looking good. I love the stich because with the tighter weave the wind wont just rip through the holes as much :)
I'm working on a Thin Blue Line flag using this stitch.... it's so hard to see what I'm doing when I'm working with the black yarn ugh I need better lighting 😂 I absolutely LOVE this stitch tho.❤ It makes such a tight, clean line.
Nicki; I've been crocheting for some 55 years. Lord it's looking better. I have hated those big holes for fingers and toes to stretch out or leave one a bit chilly. I get dumber the older I get. 🤔 Therefore, I'd kind of like to see this process 'in the round' done from chaining on to third round to get a real look at it. I like that hook as well.
I love this stitch especially for double crocheted hats in the round. However do you recommend going up a hook size ? My stitches in the first hat I attempted were snug. I ended up doing an additional round of increases to get the right circumference for the size I wanted.
Thanks. It is a Furls Hook. They are on sale till the 18th 25% off using the code Love25: furlscrochet.com/collections/odyssey/products/furls-odyssey-gold#oid=1068_2
Just rewatch it. having me do more rows does not teach something new. The edges are straight, I just pulled it too much. I have a pattern coming out this weekend, where you can see that everything is straight and how more rows look like :-)
So if I the pattern says chain 50 to get 48 double crochets in my starting chain. I guess I'm confused how to count them. I want to do this dress and I thought it might be nice to use this stitch. I know how to do the stitch, just not ending up with 48 double crochets ugh. Do you understand my problem ? Lol. Help help lol
Thank you so much Nicki!! I could actually follow your tutorial!! It was so easy!!
Nicki thank you for explaining things well without being wordy and showing things in a clear and to the point way. Your set up is also very wonderful to clearly show how to do things.
Thank you
Thank you for this tutorial. You've helped to enhance my skill. 😊
Thanks! I only chain 2 and go in the 2and loop, it makes a nicer edge 😊
Tried this stitch a year ago and use it all the time! Thank you for your video!

My gauge is for a hat so extremely happy that You have both techniques on this tutorial.
Great stitch! I like the dc stitch because it’s fast especially for blankets, but not crazy about the look. This stitch looks beautiful! Thanks!
Loved this stitch and the video that showed me how to create it
So glad it was helpful
Excellent video. Can you do increases in linked double crochet and how? Thank you.

I will put it on my to do list :-)
Are the sides straight

Yes, you have 2 options. Go up in hook size or add another increasing round 😀
Would you tell plz how can I decrease in linked double crochet??
What brand of hook are you using? It looks comfortable to use.Thanks for video.
Thanks. It is a Furls Hook. They are on sale till the 18th 25% off using the code Love25: furlscrochet.com/collections/odyssey/products/furls-odyssey-gold#oid=1068_2
Awesome ❤️
Nicki's Homemade Crafts thank you!
I would like to see more rows. It didn't look like the edges were straight. Illusion or does it continue?
Just rewatch it. having me do more rows does not teach something new. The edges are straight, I just pulled it too much. I have a pattern coming out this weekend, where you can see that everything is straight and how more rows look like :-)
Thanks Nicki. I did rewatch.
Will it continue to get wider at the ends like it looks in the video?
No, I just stretched it too much during the tutorial. A pattern for it will be published on Saturday, so you will see that it does not get wider :-)
So if I the pattern says chain 50 to get 48 double crochets in my starting chain. I guess I'm confused how to count them. I want to do this dress and I thought it might be nice to use this stitch. I know how to do the stitch, just not ending up with 48 double crochets ugh. Do you understand my problem ? Lol. Help help lol
the first two are the turning chain just like in the regular dc.
looks like soldiers with a hat
