Learn to Crochet - Basket Weave Stitch Video Tutorial

Hooray! Finally a new stitch to add to the Library of Video Tutorials! This one is the Crocheted Basket Weave Stitch which I have used many times for projects that needed to be warm and cozy. This afghan, made with Red Heart worsted weight yarn in Ranch Red, is my most recent project using this stitch, and it turned out to be so thick and warm and cozy, the perfect project to work on during the cold winter months here in New England!

Here are a few pictures of the sample I worked in the video, just to give you an idea of what the stitch looks like.


This is one side...


...and this is the other side. As you can see, there really is no right or wrong side to this pattern which is one of the reasons I like it so much.


And just look at the thickness in the finished fabric. It's almost like getting a double layer of crocheted coziness in one stitch!


Another thing I like about this stitch, for any project but especially for baby blankets, is that it does not produce holes in the fabric. The stitches are worked pretty tightly together just because of the nature of the basket weave pattern and working each double crochet around the post instead of into the top of the stitch.

Take a look at this video and you'll see what I mean...




If you are looking for an easy stitch to make a baby blanket or full size afghan, this is a good one to try because once you have established the pattern in the first few rows, there is nothing really to think about. It's all double crochet!

Give it a try in a solid color, or a pretty variegated, in worsted weight or sport or even baby yarn. Any way you work it up will turn out warm and cozy!

Happy Stitching!

How to make a Wrist Brace Cover - video tutorial

Do you suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or other conditions that require wearing a wrist brace?

As a not-quite-so-young-anymore person who loves to knit, crochet, embroider, sew, quilt, craft, blog, and other various activities that require the use of my hands and fingers, I have had my share of issues with my wrists and hands. A few years ago, these issues were having such an impact on my ability to do what I love that I actually made an appointment with my doctor to see what was going on and what could be done about it. After describing my symptoms and admitting that they usually only happened when I spent time doing all those things I love doing, my doctor suggested that I simply stop doing those things. Can you believe that? Of course, that was not an option. Long story short, a specialist ran some very interesting tests utilizing electrodes on my hands and arms with some amount of voltage running through them and diagnosed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in both wrists, my right worse than my left. He suggested curtailing my activities (Ha!) and wearing wrist braces at night. I opted to try the wrist braces and see if they helped before taking the other more drastic measure!

Lo and behold, after wearing them faithfully all night, every night for just a short time, I began to notice a marked improvement in my ability to do my handwork without losing feeling in my fingers and hands. But I was not too thrilled with how the braces felt on my skin and how the edges of the Velcro closures scratched me and caught on everything. Something had to be done about that if I were to continue using the braces. Here's the easy and inexpensive solution I came up with which has worked for me. Maybe it will work for you too!


Socks! It's true! One pair of soft cotton trouser socks, or socks made of a material that you find comfortable on your skin. That is all you need, along with a pair of sharp scissors and your wrist braces.

Here's a short video showing what to do with your socks to make a comfortable cover for your wrist braces:





And here's what you end up with:

At the top of this picture is one covered wrist brace, the one I made in the video which ended up on my left hand. Also in the picture is the other sock with the holes cut in it and ready to be put onto my right hand along with the brace.

Once you have made your covers, there is no need to remove them in order to remove the brace. I have found that I can easily slide my hands out of the braces in the morning, then slide them back into the braces at night without ever having to undo the covers or the velcro. This saves wear and tear on the braces and makes putting them on and taking them off quick and easy.

These covers are wonderful in the warm weather because they breathe so much better than the braces by themselves. They can be removed and put through the wash with your other laundry, so you might want to have two pairs of socks made into covers so you'll always have one available.

Do you have any handy tips for dealing with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or other wrist and hand issues that might keep you from enjoying your handwork? I'd love to hear about them, so leave a comment and share what you do to keep stitching.

Learn to Crochet - Woven Stitch video tutorial

Woven Stitch in Crochet is such a versatile stitch, and one of my very favorites. A great stitch for the novice crocheter, it only uses chain stitch and single crochet. I've shown many examples of Crocheted Woven Stitch here, and one of them you see every time you visit Hooked On Needles. It's that scrumptious baby blanket in all those delicious colors on my website header! The afghans I made for my two younger children, shown HERE, were also crocheted in Woven Stitch. I made a crocheted scarf for the Special Olympics using the Woven Stitch, crocheting the length of the scarf instead of the width for a very interesting effect. More recently, the Big Black Scarf was made using Woven Stitch.

Way back when I first started offering tutorials here at Hooked On Needles, I did a picture tutorial on the Woven Stitch. But I thought it was high time I offered a video tutorial for those of us who learn better by actually seeing something done. So here it is...


Before you jump into the video, I thought I would show you a project that my daughter is working on right now. This is a scarf she is making using Red Heart Soft yarn and a size I hook. You can see just how tight her stitches are in this picture. Not a space to be found! This will be one cozy scarf!

Now on to the video...



Here is the video sample after a few more rows have been completed...

You can see the difference between my sample and the scarf my daughter is working on. I used a size K hook and I crochet a lot more loosely than she does.

With this Woven Stitch, you can also substitute any other stitch for the single crochet. For example, you could use half double crochet in this pattern in place of each single crochet. This would give you a softer and looser fabric. You could even substitute double or triple crochet for an even lacier look and feel. Try out different height stitches using the Woven Stitch pattern and see what you like best for the project you want to make.

Here's one more tip: When working your beginning chain for the Woven Stitch, you can count multiples of three if you want and then add the extra two, but it really is not necessary unless you need to repeat exactly the same thing later on. What I do is just work my beginning chain until it is as long as I want the width of my piece to be, then I start crocheting. If there is a chain leftover at the end of the first row, I will either un-do it and turn it into a knot, or I will work it into the border that I work around the piece at the end. I find that much easier than doing all that counting and worrying about one or two chain stitches!

Coming up soon will be a video tutorial on the Crocheted Basketweave Stitch and a handy tip for those who suffer with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Oh yes, and my 500th post giveaway...can't forget that!

Happy Stitching!

Half Double Crochet Border - Video Tutorial

After about a week's worth of patient and determined work by my own private technology guru who is my sweet husband of 27 years (we just celebrated our anniversary last week!), I finally have the following video to share with you. For some still-unknown reason, my video would not process in Blogger with all the separate clips put together into one video, which is the way I have made all my video tutorials available here at Hooked On Needles. The first clip by itself processed successfully and the other three clips together also processed successfully. I was ready to give up on it days ago, but my husband kept at it and finally was able to come up with a workable solution, to present this tutorial in two parts!

So without any further delay, below you will find video instruction on how to add a half double crochet border around a knitted garter stitch piece. This video was requested by reader Mat from the knittinghelp.com forum, specifically asking for details on the beginning and the end of the border. So the video shows the process from beginning to end, sparing no detail. If you need to brush up on your half double crochet stitch before giving this a try, you can find my video for that HERE.

Here's Part One:



And here's Part Two:



This is what I started with...a sample piece of knitted fabric in garter stitch which mean every row is done in knit stitch.


Here is the sample complete with the half double crochet border around it.


And this is a close up of one of the corners. You can see how the side edge is uniform because of going into the same hole at the end of the knit rows for each stitch.



If you would like to see other crocheted borders that I have done on knitted blankets, you can click HERE and take your pick. For a while, I was working on those wonderful little oddball baby blankets practically non-stop, but I've had to take a little break from that work in favor of quite a few recent commissioned projects, and of course preparation for Christmas and some family time.

Learn to Crochet - Increasing in Broomstick Lace Video Tutorial

A video on the basics of Broomstick Lace and another on decreasing in Broomstick Lace have already been shown here at Hooked On Needles. So today I'll show you a little video on increasing in Broomstick Lace and you should be all set to try whipping something up using this fun stitch.

Here's the video...




I'm working on a Broomstick Lace project right now that I will share with you when it's finished. It's working up pretty quickly so it shouldn't be long!

Learn to Crochet - Decreasing in Broomstick Lace Video Tutorial

Broomstick Lace can be used to make a variety of items such as vests, scarves, blankets, sweaters, hats...patterns are available free on the internet or in books and pamphlets where you buy your yarn and needles.

Recently I offered a video tutorial on the basics of crocheting Broomstick Lace which you can find by clicking HERE. Today I have a short video showing how to decrease in Broomstick Lace. Take a look and see how easy it is...




Decreasing in Broomstick Lace might be necessary when making something that requires shaping such as a sweater or vest, or a shawl that would be made in a triangular shape.

Soon I'll be sharing a video on how to increase in Broomstick Lace too, so stay tuned for that.

Learn to Crochet - Broomstick Lace Video Tutorial

Here's an oldie, but a goody, for you crocheters out there...Broomstick Lace! This method of crochet got its name because back in the day a broomstick would have been used to hold the large loops on the loop row. These days there are so many different sizes of large knitting needles made of so many different materials that it really is not necessary to use something as large as an actual broomstick, unless of course you are making something extremely wide such as an afghan.

To work Broomstick Lace, you will need a large knitting needle such as the size 19 which I use in my video below, whatever yarn you want to use, and a crochet hook in a size to match the yarn you are using. You can use a smaller knitting needle or a bigger one, or a sanded wooden dowel or broomstick, or anything that gives you the size loops you want for your piece and won't snag your yarn.


In this sample piece, I have shown what Broomstick Lace looks like when it is worked with five loops, three loops, through both loops of the previous row stitches, through the back loop of the previous row stitches, and combined with other stitches such as double crochet.

Starting from the bottom of the picture, the first row is worked using half double crochet in groupings of five loops. The next row up was worked by pulling the large loops through both loops of the previous row half double crochet stitches resulting in no horizontal line between the two rows. The third row up was worked by pulling the large loops through only the back loops of the previous row half double crochet stitches resulting in the horizontal line between the two rows. The fourth row from the bottom was worked by stitching through five loops for the first and last sections and three loops for the sections in the middle resulting in the same overall stitch count, but having more sections on the row. After two rows like this, I added in two rows of double crochet, chain 1, then worked one last row of Broomstick Lace.

Broomstick Lace is always worked from the front, so you never turn your work. It is similar to Tunisian Crochet in this way. There are two parts to a row of Broomstick Lace, the loop row where you pick up a loop in each stitch and put it onto your knitting needle or broomstick, and then the crochet row where you work the same number of crochet stitches into a group of loops as the number of loops you pick up. You can work single, half double, double crochet or any type of crochet stitch on the crochet row, depending on the look you want to achieve. You can also pick up any number of loops for each section as long as you work the same number of stitches into each section as the number of loops you pick up.

If you've never tried Broomstick Lace, this all may seem very confusing, so here is a video demonstrating the basics of Broomstick Lace so you can see how easy it really is.


Broomstick Lace would be a nice stitch to use for a scarf, shawl or wrap. It would also make a thick and cozy lap blanket. Working Broomstick Lace in finer yarns will produce a lighter fabric with a lacier look, and using heavier yarns will produce a fabric that is quite thick and warm. Try experimenting with different yarns, different size loops and using different stitches on the crochet row to see what fun results you can get.

How to use Clover Yo Yo Maker - Video Tutorial

There are some gadgets I can live just fine without. Then there are those gadgets that just make me happy by being mine. Know what I mean? The Clover Yo-yo Maker is one of those gadgets that just makes me happy. It's so fun and easy to use, and produces great results every time. Plus it takes up practically no space at all and doesn't require dusting!


And here it is! Can you tell I'm smiling?


And here are two perfect little yo-yos made with my handy dandy little yo-yo maker!

I received a comment from Pat (no-reply) on my Biscornu video tutorial asking if I could make a tutorial for using the yo-yo maker, so here it is. The one thing I failed to mention in the video is that when you put your fabric down on the plate, you need to place it with the right side down. If you look closely in the video, you would be able to see that, but I just wanted to make that clear for anyone using this gadget for the first time.




Now that you see just how easy a yo-yo can be, go get yourself one of these handy dandy little gadgets and let the yo-yo making begin!

How to Make a Biscornu - Video Tutorial

Making a very plain fabric Biscornu is so easy. All you need is a sewing machine, two squares of coordinating or contrasting fabric of the same size as each other, a sewing needle and some thread, a little fiberfill or stuffing of some sort, and a little button or bead to decorate the center of each side.

Here are a few pictures of my Biscornu, or Biscornus...actually I'm not really sure what would be correct since it's a French word and I don't know one word of French! Following the pictures, you will find a video tutorial showing exactly how to make a simple fabric Biscornu.


This is the one I made in the video, but it does not have a button or bead in the center to pull in the middle. I really love the zig zag sides on these shapes and wonder who would ever have thought to sew two squares together like this in the first place. Someone very clever I think!


The one on the left is the first one I made after reading a little about them and being so intrigued. I just couldn't believe that two squares could end up together like this. The blue one is for my Stitcher's Angel swap gift, along with other nice goodies too. And the green one is the one I made in the video, still without a center decoration.


These are all the same, just showing the opposite sides from the previous picture.


And there's that fun zig zag edge!


Yo yos are so versatile, and I love how they look on something like this with a bead or button in the middle.

Here's my video tutorial on how to make a simple fabric Biscornu. After you watch it, you'll be off to your own sewing room to cut up lots of squares and sew one of these for everyone you know! That's how easy it is!



While these biscornu are pretty and so very easy to make, I thought it would be fantastic to make one using the same method as the mattress pin cushion I made a while ago and which you can see by clicking HERE. There are many beautiful stitched biscornu out there on the internet for inspiration, and this page in particular I found quite interesting and fun to look at. You can see a biscornu being made the same way I did the mattress pin cushion. Just lovely!

For now though, I'll stick to the simple fabric version. Try making one yourself and let me know what you think.

Learn to Crochet - Tunisian Honeycomb Stitch Video Tutorial

Finally another stitch to add to your Tunisian Crochet collection! It's called the Honeycomb Stitch and it is worked using the exact same method as the Seed Stitch in Knitting. Here is what it looks like on a small sample...


You can see in this sample the honeycomb design that is created by alternating knit and purl stitches. The method is the same as seed stitch in knitting, but the result is quite different because of the characteristic vertical bars in Tunisian Crochet.

The Honeycomb stitch produces a thinner fabric than most other Tunisian Crochet Stitches that I have presented here. Another difference I noticed is quite a pleasant one...the bottom edge does not seem to want to curl up nearly as much as the other stitches. But as with all other Tunisian Crochet stitches, this one produces a fabric that has a definite right and wrong side, so you should take that into consideration if it is something you have a hang-up about like I do!

Here's a short video showing how to work the Tunisian Honeycomb Stitch. The written pattern follows.

Tunisian Honeycomb Stitch

NOTE: Beginning chain must be a multiple of 2 chains plus 1. The sample in the video was worked with a beginning chain of 11.

Click on the links below to refresh your Tunisian Knit and Purl skills!

Rows 1 and 2: Basic Tunisian Knit Stitch

Row 3: ch 1, *1 Tunisian Purl under next vertical bar, 1 basic Tunisian Knit under next vertical bar. * Continue from * to * across the row to the end.

Rows 4 and 6: yo, draw through 1 loop, *yo, draw through 2 loops. * Continue from * to * across the row.

Row 5: ch 1, *1 basic Tunisian Knit under next vertical bar, 1 Tunisian Purl under next vertical bar. * Continue from * to * across the row.

Repeat from Row 3.

Learn to Crochet - Half Granny Shawl Video Tutorial

There has been some discussion recently on the crochet thread of the Knittinghelp.com forum regarding the crocheted shawl worn by Caroline Ingalls in The Little House on the Prairie shows. Some links were provided to patterns resembling that shawl. Two of the patterns looked good, but the other links were broken. The information given about the shawl was that it was crocheted, and most likely a half granny square type of design.

Many years ago, I had made quite a large number of shawls using just such a design, one for my grandmother in cream and lavender, and one for each of the nuns in the convent where my oldest sister is. That was a lot of black crocheting! So I felt confident that I could replicate this half granny shawl design to share with you here at Hooked On Needles.


After a few false starts, this is what I came up with...

This is just a sample that I crocheted while working out the pattern. Of course to make this into a shawl, you would have to continue crocheting until the triangle is as big as you want your shawl to be.


Here's a close-up of the beginning point of the sample where the original chain-4 was made. You can see where the 3-dc groups, also called shells, turn to the left and to the right. This point where they change direction is the tip of the triangle where two shells are worked with ch-2 in between. On a full granny square, this would be one of the 4 corners.


And here's the other end of the center, which is the point. Once you have made your triangle as big as you want it, this would be the outer edge where you could add a decorative border, such as a scallop or fringe, or you could just leave it plain.

Here is a short video showing how I made this half-granny triangle. I have included the written instructions below as well.

Half Granny Triangle Shawl

Yarn of your choice
crochet hook of the appropriate size for yarn chosen

NOTE:
shell = 3 double crochet
ch = chain
dc = double crochet
sp = space

ch 4 and join with sl st to first chain to form ring.

ch 4 (used as 1 dc and 1 ch here and throughout), shell in ring, ch 2, shell in ring, ch 1, 1 dc in ring. ch 4, turn.

shell in ch 1 sp, ch 1, (shell, ch 2, shell) in ch 2 sp (this is the center point), ch 1, (shell, ch 1, 1 dc) in ch 1 sp. ch 4, turn.

* (shell, ch 1) in each ch 1 sp to center point, (shell, ch 2, shell) in ch 2 sp of center point, (ch 1, shell) in each ch 1 sp to end. ch 1. In last ch 1 sp, work shell, ch 1, 1 dc. ch 4, turn. *

Repeat from * to * until shawl is the size you want it.

Work one row of single crochet evenly spaced across the top of the shawl. Add a decorative edge on the other two sides of the triangle with fringe, crocheted scallop, reverse single crochet or any other edge that you like.

Learn to Crochet Jacob's Ladder - Video Tutorial

There are so many wonderful sources for creative inspiration around these days, whether it be magazines, shops, what the person in front of you in the grocery store check-out line is wearing, websites, the paper band on a skein of yarn, you name it! I love poking through KnittingHelp.com to see what other people are doing, or what people are having trouble doing. Just recently, someone was having a problem with a crocheted afghan pattern, so I offered to help.

Here's what I came up with...


Oh no, it's not an afghan!


But I suppose if you are a very long, skinny snake, it could be an afghan!


Nope, I'd have to say, it's definitely not an afghan.


But don't you just love the colors?

I took a look at the link to the afghan pattern that was provided and discovered that it is the pattern called Jacob's Ladder. You can click HERE for the full pattern.

For the small sample I was going to use to make the following video, I decided to just whip up a little section of the pattern with only one ladder in it. I liked working on it so much that I dug up more leftover yarn and kept on crocheting! When I was finished, I had a fabulous and colorful scarf that should be very warm and cozy, not to mention quite eye-catching! It's approximately 6 1/2 by 80 inches and machine wash and dry.

OK, back to business! This pattern could be done using one color of yarn throughout or multiple colors. It lends itself nicely to the using up of scrap yarn - a real stash-buster! It would be nice in yarn weights from baby all the way up to chunky, using the appropriate sized crochet hook for the yarn chosen. Of course the beginning chain length would need to be adjusted depending on the size yarn used and the desired finished size.

The Jacob's Ladder pattern is a very simple combination of double crochet and chain stitch, with an easy single crochet edge at the end. Once the pattern is established in the base row of the piece, it is the type of project that you really don't have to give much thought to as you are working on it. If you are using up leftover yarn, you could just crochet until one color runs out and then add in the next color. This project was a nice break for me in between working on the knitted lace shawl that requires total concentration and no interruptions!

Here is a not-so-little video on how to work the Jacob's Ladder crochet pattern. I guess I was feeling a bit loquacious when I made it!

In the video, I use safety pins at the end as the pattern recommends to keep the ladder from unraveling. In hindsight, however, I would recommend using locking stitch markers such as those you can see on the knitted lace shawl post, or just a scrap of yarn tied in a bow at the top of each ladder. Safety pins can get caught in your yarn and can sometimes be hard to remove as you are crocheting along.




I hope you find this video helpful!

Adding Colorful Bits to a Crocheted Piece - Video Tutorial

Sometimes it's nice to use a plain, simple, solid color to crochet or knit a piece. Usually, however, I try to avoid a single solid color for an afghan or bag or sweater or whatever else I might be making. I find it just gets too uninteresting, especially if it's a larger piece like this all-red afghan I crocheted in basketweave stitch for a friend.

When I was looking for a cone of worsted weight cotton yarn for my current project, all I could find was a solid off white, or a variegated which didn't quite fit the theme I was going for. So I bought the off white and thought of ways to dress it up a little.

This is what I came up with...


You've seen all the cotton cloths I have crocheted over the past many months. I had a little bit left from each one, so here are bits and pieces of the leftovers crocheted into my current project.


You may recognize the fabric of this piece as the Forked Cluster stitch that I demonstrated just recently in a video tutorial. I just love the V design it makes. The cotton used for all the cloths was so varied in color with most being variegated that it was easy to get a wide range of different colors and combinations to add to this piece.

Here's a little video showing how I worked these random pieces of yarn into my work...




Stay tuned for an upcoming post when I will reveal what this project is and what you can do for a chance to have it for your own!

Learn to Crochet - Forked Cluster Stitch

It's been a little while since I added a new crochet stitch to my library of video tutorials, and I've been working on a crochet project that incorporates a stitch that I have yet to demonstrate. What a perfect opportunity to share it with you! So here it is...


This is called the Forked Cluster and it is a variation of double crochet where the bottom part of the stitch spans two stitches, but the result at the top is just one stitch. This makes for a very tight crocheted fabric and an interesting upside down V design.

Here's a quick little video demonstrating the stitch...




The project I'm working on in this video is not quite finished, but as soon as it is, you can be sure to read about it here!

Learn to Crochet - Single Crochet Shells in Tiramisu Baby Blanket

Merry, of crocheted ABC Blanket fame, recently shared with me a pattern she had found for the Tiramisu Baby Blanket because she was having a bit of trouble with keeping the edges straight.

Here is a picture of the sample I crocheted using 3 colors. This shows off the single crochet shells very nicely, and in the video below, it also makes seeing the individual rows much easier.



Hopefully this video will help Merry and others in crocheting this very pretty blanket. See what you think...



I think this stitch would also make a very cozy and colorful scarf, stitched either long ways or across the short way. I can also imagine that this stitch crocheted using bulky weight yarn and a very large hook would work up quickly into a full size afghan.

Either solid or multi-color, the stitch used in the Tiramisu Baby Blanket is easy to do and very versatile. It reminds me a little bit of the Ripple Stitch and the Woven Stitch, both of which I have used for full size afghans, baby blankets, and crocheted scarves.

Crocheting Beads into your work is easier than you might think!

It's no secret that I love to crochet, and every now and then I enjoy dressing it up a little with beads. That's what I did for Jane's pink bag, and also for the little white Rosary case I whipped up for my sister's feast day gift. In fact, her feast day is today, June 15, the feast of Saint Germaine Cousin of Pibrac, France. So I'll know by the end of the day if she liked her little gift, beads and all.

Many of you faithful readers have asked how I crocheted the beads into the projects, so below is a little video to show you.


This is the little sample you will see being worked in the video. Notice how the beads in both rows are slanted in the same direction. This is because they were added to the project from the same side of the work for each row. In other words, to get this same result, you would have to add your beads on either all right side rows, or on all wrong side rows. If you add some on right side rows and some on wrong side rows, they will slant in different directions, and also be more prominent on different sides. So when planning a project, keep this in mind and work the beads in from the same side of the piece throughout.


The picture above shows the opposite side of the piece from where the beads were worked in.


This picture shows the side of the work that was facing when the beads were worked in. Depending on the look you want to achieve with the beads, you will need to decide which will be the front and which will be the back of your work.

Run and grab some scrap yarn and a few pony beads or whatever you might have to work up a sample, and crochet along with me. You'll see just how easy it is to add beads to your crochet.




Did you notice that double crochet stitch I sneaked in there at the end of the bead row? It was the second to last stitch. I guess that's what happens when I talk too much! But I know you'll forgive me.
