Hello there Not a native speaker so had a lil confusion Correct me if I'm wrong We do 6 single stiches and increase 6 stiches in the 2nd layer by going 2 single stitches in 1st stiches And then in 3rd layer we go one single and other one double and in 4th one we go both double stiches or what
Thank you again for sharing this brilliant variation on foundations. I find my chains to be fiddly as each time I pass my hook through a new chain it pulls the next one tighter - so I’m constantly using reverse tweezers to push the loop open again - this will save me a ton of time - now off to apply this to a waffle stitch swatch / washcloth test for something bigger.
Imagine how for decades we’ve labored in our crafts only to find out relatively recently how toxic microplastics are. Wrapping our babies in beautiful plastic blankets - inhaling, chewing, and swallowing microplastics from our first breaths… but even before that we weren’t safe, because our mothers all had microplastics in them from birth, too. Right back to the advent of plastics. Trying to avoid it nowadays is like trying to avoid blue sky, or leaves, or O2 molecules. JFC what have we done? Why are we continuing to do it, given the science? (This is not a condemnation of this fine lady’s craft or her teaching, but a cry to everyone to stop using plastics, or at least minimize them to uses where nothing else is useable and it’s a life or death situation. Not for mankind’s sake only, but for all life. Not sure why I really bother writing treatises such as these - the tropical rainforests are burning, the methane-packed permafrost is melting and entire ice shelves are cleaving at horrific rates, water off the coast of FL, USA reached a surface temp of 104°F recently, river dolphins in the Amazon river are literally cooking in the water. The rich are prepared to rule the dwindling masses of mankind, as they’ll always have pure water, air, and the infrastructure to maintain generations of their choosing. Amazon, owned by Jeff Bezos, tripled its carbon footprint over the last year or so…) Forgive me, or help it burn - almost dunno what to do anymore. On the bright side, I have less time to worry about this stuff than I have had in the past! :). Can’t we use various wools, or silks, or plant fibers, or blends of any and all the above, to make fabrics that are generational works of art, renewable, non-destructive of their ultimate source (the animals {silk moth larvae excepted, of course, then again, maybe the larvae are edible after they’re cooked out of their cocoons? })
@@changepathcrochet I melted all mine with a torch and sent it to the landfill. Replaced with hemp and cotton and a bit of alpaca so far. My kitchen is mostly plastic-free, but still a bit to go. The plastics in fabrics really have me freaked out because it’s purposefully made to be micro/nano, like polyester plush, is terribly soft. All the stuffed animals given babies… I really do find it horrifying.
Hi there! Would you release the written pattern for this? I'd love to have this on my wall and I'm still a little confused about the staggering. I'd also love how to know how to end my in-the-round circle when I'm finished :-) thanks for the video, super helpful!
I've just added the written pattern in the accompanying blog post here: www.changepathcrochet.com/the-secret-to-making-a-flat-circle-with-single-crochet/ (see the sidebar). To finish off the circle, you can either slip stitch in the next stitch and fasten off, or you can do an invisible join. You basically cut and pull the yarn through the final stitch, and then weave it under the loops of the next stitch, and back through the top of the final stitch. I don't have a tutorial for that (yet) but there are a lot out there. The invisible join will have a smooth edge while the slip stitch will leave a bump.
Love love your videos!! Gotta get RU-vid to put you at the tip top of all searches! Very very impressed with your teaching methods & simplicity. Also your humbleness ❤. Please don’t change when we see you with over 500k & above! Aloha❤❤
Math student here: Actually this has nothing to do with pi, it cancels out in the calculation. The ratio between the height and width of the stiches is also unimportant (and this technique does work with other stiches). What matters is, that in the ratio between the radius of the n-th and n+1-st round is (n+1)/n. Hence, since the the circumference is 2π times the radius, the ratio of the circumferences of the n-th and n+1-st round is also (n+1)/n (here the 2π cancels out). This is a recursive relation for the circumferences of each round and tells us, that each round the length of round 1 must be added. Since we started with 6 stitches, this implies, that each round 6 stitches must be added.
Fascinating, thank you for taking the time to explain this phenomenon (truly). I believe that pi is still relevant in the first row -- to get a flat circle, you typically start with 6-8 stitches, which is related to the length/width of the stitches being about equal and multiplying by 2π, no? If you start with 4 stitches, you will get a cone shape, and if you start with 10 it will create a wavy parabola (or something like that). So maybe pi is not totally irrelevant here.
You're totally right, the number of stitches in the first row depends on the ratio between the height and width of a stitch and π. Just how you explained.
Thanks! You can end with a slip stitch to the first stitch of the final row, or if you want to not have an obvious stitch there, you can do an invisible join. I don't have a tutorial but there are lots of videos out there that show how to do it.
One hundred percent INSTANT SUBSCRIBE from ME- I literally NEEDED THIS. No joke, was fed up with going through a dozen of opinionated nonsensical videos that got me nowhere (other than half a dozen snarled up "row 1 fails" that I couldn't even unstitch to repurpose the yarn...) This was pleasant, easy to follow and understand, backed up with a link to a written pattern... and don't take this the wrong way, but your voice is giving "Boss Ross" vibes of crochet, in the best way possible 😊 Thanks again, oh-so-much Fawn 🩷
Excellent information. I am trying to crochet a flat brim for a fedora, but the yarn I desire to use, does not match the yarn for the pattern, so my brim keeps curling. The Pi explanation gives me a direction to go in for calculating my own stitch increase ratio. It won’t be exact, as my brim isn’t a perfect circle, but it’ll be better than trial and error. Thank you.
English in not my first language so i suffer a lot trying to follow tutorials as a beginner crocheter, but this video is a must save for future references 🙏🙏 thank you for making it so easy and practical
Finishing an afghan, I was looking for a good border. Found your video, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how this stitch looks! Thank you for showing how to do this.
