I just started teaching myself to crochet from a grid tonight and you just fixed every single yarn carrying problem I was having. Thank you! My work looks so much cleaner now. This video was so well put-together. Definitely saving it for future reference!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’ve tried looking at others and I’d get thoroughly confused. However, I understood your video on how to do color changes for both the right and wrong side of the work along with doing color changes mid-row. Excellent video 😊
I am finally starting to work more complicated patterns and was becoming so overwhelmed with the bobbing technique. This is so helpful thank you so much! Plus this video is so well put together and so easy to follow/understand!
Excellent video, so much important information and perfectly explained🥰! I have saved this video for reference because as a beginner and I’m having a rough time hiding my yarn when using multiple colors. Thanks for sharing the knowledge🙏🏻
I was working on a piece that required multiple colour changes several times a row and I was panicking about how I was going to manage it, so this video was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to make it and share it with us!
Thanks so much for your tips! I have been making a pillow with thick yarn and could easily see my carry thru yarn changes. I've been looking all over for an easy way to fix this. Thanks again!! Great tutorial!
Thank you. I'm hoping this helps me with the problems I am having. I also find that the yarn itself becomes a tangled mess but maybe following this process more closely will help with that. Thank you for clear explanations, and very good and close camera angles.
This video is extremely helpful!!!! I however, would love to see how you would tackle multiple color changes (2 stitches one color, then next 2 stitches a different color, then 1 stitch a third color, etc....)🫣🤔 I've been working on a graphgan with 6 different colors and have had to use the "cut & tie" method.😡 I'm a third of the way done and I put it away......it's making me crazy!!!!🙄🤯 I'd love help or some pointers!!!!!👍 Maybe that's the way this one has to be done.....IDK.🤷♀️😢
I think it would be better to demonstrate the last method by using a white yarn and a bright colour. It is very difficult to see what you are doing with the black wool. Otherwise your video is very good and easy to understand. Thank you.
That is good advise. I was just working on this specific pattern and decided to pull out my camera and make a video because I often get asked about carrying your yarn.
Hello!!! First of all thank you, this was very informative! But I had a question about pieces that dont have a wrong side (as in both sides will always be seen like a blanket). How can hide the yarn carry for those sorts of projects?
You will either have to choose to not carry your yarn if it is a high contrast or just make one side of the blanket the 'wrong side'. Which you do it up to you.
Amazing tips, thank you so much! Do you know how I could hide the tread of different color when working in yarn over slip stitch? Right side goes just fine, but I struggle with the wrong side, the carrying on color still shows on the right side...
Great info. The problem I always have when carrying yard is that the different colors get tangled. The area from the work to the skein just turns into a knotted mess. Any suggestions?
Watch how you turn your work. Naturally, we will turn our work the same way at the end of the row and that will keep twisting the yarn, but if you put a stitch marker on one side of your work and make sure you turn your work so that the stitch marker passes over the top each time. You will end up twisting your work after one row then untwisting your work after the next. I hope that made sense. It really helps me.
I have a question, but idk how to word it to where it makes sense. I had a stroke and my brain just isnt the same as it did but Im gonna try. I havent been able to croxhet ever since my stoke but I ordered special hooks and am trying to start again. Im making a scarf for my son that switches from red to black blocks like a checkers board. Lets say that I just completed the 2nd half of the DC and Im dropping the red but I need to carry it for my next 4DC, does it matter if I pull the red to the back or the front? Thats the only way I can think to properly describe what I mean 😢
Hi! Thank you for this tutorial. When working on the wrong side, I am using the technique that you showed, but now I can just see my yarn carried through on both sides. Do you have any advice?
Sometimes if there is too much contrast between the colors you may always see the yarn. Also the size of hook you use can affect this. A smaller hook has makes tighter stitches and hides the carried yarn better.
I have a written pattern that is linked in the video and in the description box, but I do not have a video tutorial because the entire project is just double crochet with color changes. If I made a video it would be 2 hours of me just reading off the pattern and letting you know when to change your colors.
This tutorial is only for how to carry the yarn. This pattern does not have a video tutorial but there is a written pattern: www.windingroadcrochet.com/crochet-table-runner-free-pattern/
I am sorry to hear that. Make sure the video sound is turned up. There is a control on the video screen. (There is a video volume control and I know sometimes I turn it down and forget about it.)
