How to Crochet an Oval 

Best looking oval. I much prefer this way vs all the other videos. Thank you.

Such a great tutorial. I love how you explain the reasons for the stitches and the speed you talk is perfect for me!

Is there a written pattern for this oval? Tutorial is very precise and clear but would love to read pattern as well.

I hope this makes sense, I wrote out the pattern for myself for 5 rows Rnd 1: 12 single crochet into magic ring (12) Rnd 2: Chain 3 (counts as 1dc), 1 dc, triple dc increase in next 3 stitches, 3 dc, triple dc increase in next 3 stitches, 1 dc, join with slip stitch (24) Rnd 3: Chain 3 (counts as 1dc), 2 dc, (identify first tri-increase, all increases henceforth are stitched into the middle stitch of the previous row’s tri-increase) 1 tri-increase, 2 tr, 1 tri-increase, 2 tr, 1 tri-increase, 5 dc, 1 tri-increase, 2 tr, 1 tri-increase, 2 tr, 1 tri-increase, 2 dc, join with slip stitch (36) Rnd 4: Chain 3 (counts as 1dc), 3 dc, 1 tri-increase, 4 tr, 1 tri-increase, 4 tr, 1 tri-increase, 7 dc, 1 tri-increase, 4 tr, 1 tri-increase, 4 tr, 1 tri-increase, 3 dc, join with slip stitch (48) Rnd 5: Chain 3 (counts as 1dc), 4 dc, 1 tri-increase, 6 tr, 1 tri-increase, 6 tr, 1 tri-increase, 9 dc, 1 tri-increase, 6 tr, 1 tri-increase, 6 tr, 1 tri-increase, 4 dc, join with slip stitch (60)

What a fantastic tutorial. Very easy to follow. I’ve almost completed my oval rug. I’ve added a marker on each of the triple DC and it gives me a visual clue that in need to do 3 DC together and that I’m about to start or end the rounded edges. This is a fun project. Thanks!

Excellent tutorial! Clear and simple. I love the visual cues so I don’t have to count.

Thank you for this tutorial! I've tried a few others and just didn't like the way they were turning out but this one is perfect and the explanations are super clear, love it!

Wanted to let you know I am self taught through you tube and your video has been the best! I followed what you said about making the ovals bigger, I highlighted and wrote row 4 out according to your instructions and I was able to do it and achieve the larger oval. Thank you so much. Great instructor!

your video is underrated. i really hopes this gets more likes. im a beginner, i started crocheting for a week or so and this video helps me a lot lol. im subscribing. thank u for making this video and keep up the good work!❤

Thank you for such a clear and well explained video. It's so lovely to see the focus on the actual crochet than on the 'nails and bling' used by a lot of teachers. I have subscribed to your site as I know I will use your videos all the time. 🙂

First, best crochet tutorial I've ever watched! And second, I've been all over your site looking for the written instructions. Have you removed it?

You are so clear when explaining . A real treat to.learn from you. Thank you .

Do you think this pattern will work with single crochets? Love the tutorial ❤

You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you for this illuminating tutorial.

Very detailed and easy-to-follow. Thank you! This will work perfectly for the belly of my chubby bear I’m making! 😊

thank you for making this video! the instructions were really clear and helpful :) Merry Christmas!

Like your tutorial. Very clear, precise, practial and easy to follow. Thank you very much.

GAME CHANGER! Thank you!

Thank you for this great tutorial! You gave detailed instructions and it was very helpful and appreciated!

It would be fantastic if you made a video of a rug that's an oval

Making the leap from round 3 to 4 using your logic is hard and i can't figure it out. Do you have a written pattern or another video on the topic?

If you chain 3 slip st and work 12 dl over tail you can close like magic ring

I'm good up until round 4. Just a little confused. Would you be so kind writing out round 4, and I'm pretty sure it will all make since to me after that. I make afghans in the round all the time so I understand the concept of this. Your a great teacher. Thank you so much

Thank you for your time and help with putting out the video

I am working on a crocodile stitch watching your video... successfully learned... Could you plz clear about the yarn you are working..is this t shirt yarn. Plz post videos on how to work for rectangular chrochet door mat..

I was watching your video on how to crochet an oval, I'm working on a pattern that uses single crochet, the pattern starts out as Chain 4 , then skip the first chain then inc , in next chain, sc, in next ch, 4 single in next ch. Can you tell me how to do that with the method you used to make the oval? The pattern I'm using is done in an oval

Thank you! I love how mine turned out:)

Are you using Bernat home deco? LOL... I just realized that I'm using exactly the same yarn for the project I'm working on!

This was perfect! Thank you!

Can someone please write out row 4 ?

Very good video. Thank you

is there a way to make vertical stripes in the oval as it gets bigger... like take a bee as a reference

LOVE this

Such a good tutorial ! Thank you !

I am wanting my oval in HDC so it is denser as I am making a cat bed would this concept work with HDC? I have tried another oval that was longer and narrower twice now and my increases haven't worked so my oval was flat.

Thank you so much. 💛💛💛💛

Does this pattern work with SC?

Luv the video

I can see a Bathmat made from this. :)

Ty for tutorial. Would it work in sc stitch? Need a small oval nose for a bear. Thank you

this is more difficult than maths in university

What yarn are you using?
