Thank you so so so much for this explanation. I too have struggled with the oval but now I will always remember the construction of it. That was so nice of you to share it. Thank you again and again and greetings from Michigan. ❤❤❤
Very helpful video!! Thank you for this tip 👍🏽 I've been crocheting for over 10 years and still struggled with making an oval until I watched this tutorial. So glad I found this video. Thank you 😊🧶💖
This is EXACTLY the sort of explanation I needed! Thank you for breaking down the oval shape into its components to make it easier to understand how its increases work!
I have been struggling to find (for a whole frustrating day) a very easy to follow oval shape. Thanks to you I can now continue with my amigurumi Hey Duggee mouth. Thank you for your simplified explanation tutorial 👏👏
You have the best explanation of the formula of how to crochet the oval. And to continue on in the increases is just as if you were crocheting in the round but only on the ends! Genius! Thank you for making crocheting the oval so much easier and fun! Now I can fulfill my friends request for her basket cover!
This is the best oval explanation ever created! I had not understood ovals before until this tutorial and frankly I always dreaded dealing with them before. Thank you so much for breaking it down! I actually know what I'm supposed to do for the perfect oval now😊
Just an additional piece of information to add to this, each semicircle will increase by 3 stitches every round (the normal principal of growing a circle is to increase every round by the number of stitches you started with), which applies here for the semicircle.
This is brilliant!! I have always had the same problem you had with creating oval bases. I couldn't believe it when you explained it in this way! It now makes perfect sense!! 🤦♀️Thank u, thank u!! I was getting so frustrated with making ovals. I watched so many videos but no one else broke it down this way. This has literally been the best and most helpful tutorial I have ever watched🤩💯👍👍👏!!!
I'm late to the game, but still wanted to say THANK YOU! I have been crocheting for years, but avoid ovals. If I must use an oval (say a base for a bag) it's always some kind of workaround. I just made one along with you and carefully wrote down the steps. Success! I always understood the concept of semicircles on the ends and increasing the way you would regular circles. The first round where you went back into the SAME stitch coming into the bottom of the rectangle FINALLY made me aware of my problem.
