Every time i do an increase (place 2 puff stitches in the same space), i get gaps...any advice? I don't think it's the yarn as i'm using cotton yarn. And i tried with both 4 and 5 yarn overs as well and same issue. Thanks so much
Is there a gap at the base of your increase stitches? Try tightening the chain 1 at the end of each puff stitch to reduce the gap between them. Also, you could experiment with different cotton yarns, as some are thicker than others and may help minimize the gap. The yarn I used in this pattern is quite thick, and the threads separate easily. It can be a bit harder to work puff stitches because the hook can catch on some of the threads, but they also spread out better. Hope this helps!
I don't :) But this detailed video on Yarn Over vs Yarn Under from Edie Eckman might help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jx68g_YD3uw.html
This looks absolutely beautiful! I’ve never made a potholder before I am a complete beginner! But a friend and I are going to be making potholders to donate to our church’s Thanksgiving food drive bags this Thanksgiving so we’re starting now! How much yarn does it take to make a pair?
Thank you! :) I used one skein of yarn which is approx. 119yds for one potholder. You can find more info about materials and the written pattern in this post: mycrochetspace.com/extra-thick-thermal-potholder/ If you are an absolute beginner, this pattern might be a bit challenging to start with, as it's an intermediate-level stitch :) But you've got plenty of time until Thanksgiving to practise, so completely doable! :) If you like the thermal stitch, you might find the single crochet a little easier, and it looks beautiful, too; you can watch it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pVEwIKCuGV0.html. Have fun and enjoy learning the thermal stitch!
Hi! I stumbled across your channel and I have to tell you that I love this pattern!!! The only problem I am having is finding 10 ply yarn! Can you tell me the brand of yarn that you are using?
Happy to hear you like the pattern! 💓 I used Finch Fiddlesticks cotton yarn, which is available here in Australia. It's a 10-ply yarn, equivalent to #4 medium worsted weight/Aran yarn.
Thanks! The reason I was having a hard time was none of our yarns that I can see say 10 ply on them. I found a cotton yarn that is medium #4 which should work just fine!
Thank you! I haven't done it, but other people have. If you search on RU-vid for 'waffle stitch crochet from the centre', you'll have a couple of options!🙂
Thank you! :) For me, it was the type of yarn I used that helped minimize the holes. The yarn isn't too twisted and splits easily, which makes it harder to work with, but at the same time, it creates fluffier puff stitches that spread out more. :) I used Fiddlesticks Finch cotton yarn from Australia. You can try reducing the gaps by using a thicker yarn or making the puff stitches slightly puffier by adding one more yarn over. Let me know if this helps! :)
Just add one puff stitch between the two puff stitches in each round, if that makes sense. For example, in round 4, you work 2 puff stitches in the first space, then 1 in the next, and 1 in the following one. Repeat this 2-1-1 pattern all the way around. In round 5, work 2 puff stitches in the first space, then 1 in the next, another 1 in the following, and 1 in the next again. Repeat the 2-1-1-1 pattern around. As the size increases, the round shape may likely evolve into a hexagon. I hope this helps! :)
@@barborapovazanova6687 If your coaster has a hexagonal shape, you can block it by spraying it with cold water and pinning it into a round shape to dry. :)
I'm by no means a novice crocheter, but I had a lot of trouble getting this puff stitch flower to look good. Nothing wrong with the INSTRUCTIONS as they were well done & crystal CLEAR, the problem were my tools. Using 100% acrylic yarn but with a PLASTIC crochet hook I STRUGGLED to extend the length of each puff stitch to the height of the chain 3. Tried 4x this pattern and kept getting a donut hole in the center of my flower. Finally, switched to METAL hook (which was a 3.5 mm but my yarn needed at least 4.0 mm) so the hook often got caught in the yarn when pulling through all 7 loops of the puff. BUT at least I finally got a tightly closed center flower (no more hole). To avoid frustrations, don't attempt this pattern unless using metal crochet hook AND acrylic yarn (as the instructor recommends on her webpage). This pattern needs the yarn AND hook to be able to easily glide.
I made a potholder with the same stitch. You can take a look at this video if it's easier to see the stitches: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_QCtcvPKOZg.html Hope this helps! 🙂
I haven’t been able to “get it” so far…pulled it all out twice and gonna wait awhile to try for a third. I don’t see the stitches clearly enough - YET!
I know, it can be challenging at first, but don't give up! 😄 This is an intermediate-level stitch, so it's not easy and it can take time to get it right. But once you get it, you'll find it easy! Important is you don't get stressed or frustrated and just have fun with experimenting! 🧡
There is no diagram; I just looped it twice, and it twisted on its own. It is always a different-looking twist though☺ But most of the time I wear it wrapped three times around my neck as it keeps me warmer! 😀
It's called yarn under because when you insert your hook, you yarn UNDER instead of yarn over. From the start, It's a yarn over, yarn UNDER, yarn over again. I hope that makes sense! :)
If I wanted to make a potholder that was a little bit wider, would I just add another even amount of stitches to the chain (probably just two or four more), or does the chain have to be a multiple of three?
@@MyCrochetSpace interesting. It looks so much nicer. I’m experimenting, trying this for someone but my ends are sticking up higher and it’s super stiff. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Thank you very much for teaching me how to crochet this beautiful classy neck warmer. I made it for my doctor for Christmas and I know he will love it. I used Lion Brand Heartland. Color (Grand canyon). Very soft and cozy. I think I'll make myself one while I'm at it.
Absolutely! You just don't join it and crochet in rows. By the end, you'll have a scarf, and if you like, you can sew the sides to make it an infinity scarf.
