This has to be the most frequently asked question I get from people learning to crochet. Now I will definitely direct them towards this video!

@fieldofdandelions1508 2 года назад

Thank you!! No matter how hard I try to count my stitches, I always end up with crooked edges at some point in my projects. This helped me a lot!

@darlene50vaughn 5 лет назад

This is the master video of all videos. I'm a novice and i have asked these questions since starting to crochet. You nailed it. I was beginning to figure edges and turning chain out BUT your explanation is golden. Every beginner needs to see this video. Thank you.

@maryline0113 5 лет назад

I used to decrease on some projects and was too lazy to unravel it because it was slightly visible but one day I decided to stop being lazy and started to fix my mistakes, my projects never looked better! I love your channel

@CrazyBeeyaach 4 месяца назад

I have spent the past two years avoiding written patterns like the plague because I just can't figure out where to start and finish rows. I muddle my way through or just stick to visual videos. You have just made the world make sense!! As a new crocheter (with diagnosed OCD🤦🏼‍♀️🤕) this is my ABSOLUTE #1 video to add to my playlist of ESSENTIAL MUST-WATCH videos!! Thank you sooooo much!! Subscribed!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼👍🏼✌🏼😎💯

@elaineslama7534 5 лет назад

Thank you for helping an "old" crocheter that still has trouble keeping straight edges.

@lindatreend254 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this video. I definitely need to be more aware of keeping the edges straight! I love that you show exactly where to put your hook both at the beginning of a row and at the end.

@princesskayla452 Год назад

Omg thank you. I had to stretch my project and it came out perfect. I was ready to take the whole thing apart and believe me it was a lot. So glad I found you.❤

@EvieO1950 5 лет назад

Thanks! I tend to crochet a little tight and my rows aren’t usually as tall as they should be so I’ll be trying your alternate method. 😀

@jodiebristow3210 Год назад

I've been teaching my granddaughters how to crochet and this video, I will definitely be showing them. Thank you so much for explaining these issues in such a simplified manor. As young as they are they'll still be able to understand what you're teaching. Thank you!

@vreese3350 2 года назад

I'm a beginner. This is recently my 3rd attempt. My edges are uneven I recently learned the turning stitch. That was a game changer. Hope to get this project done & even

@randomanda 5 лет назад

It took me a long while to understand completely where to stitch/ how they work/ what everything looks like. I am fully self taught, and started before RU-vid existed with a Boye book. All these years and I'm only just getting proficient enough counting stitches and rows to take on projects that require it. I like using small safety pins as stitch markers, they don't fall off and are super cheap and easy to find. Early on I'd mark the stitch while it was on my hook so I could be SURE I marked the right one. I still have one of my first attempts... nice and square on one side but getting ever longer on the other. I guess I wad only adding a stitch every other row, haha. Just keep practicing, get to know what the stitches look like. Great video!

@fellasandfriends2914 5 лет назад

Thank you for this video. I found this really helpful. I'm still kind of new at crocheting. My very first practice swatch looked like a loincloth, lol! I'm getting better, though.

@ooohlaa13 10 месяцев назад

If you are more like me, who learns from visuals while describing, here are the time marks for the very brief practical application images of her methods: 4:15 4:26 7:13 9:34 10:06 10:35 I didn't have the time to identify each marker but maybe someone else can. Her camera work is tasteful and excellent but too brief for my feeble brain at 81!!! At least you can fast forward thru and also can slow down the images with the gear icon.

Brittany you are AWESOME!! Super helpful video, thank you 😊

@janetbailey7173 3 года назад

Really helpful. Did crochet years ago and taking it up again. Lovely to have new tips!

@bhookedcrochet 3 года назад

Glad it was helpful!

@sheriwillingham6875 Год назад

Wow! I've always wondered what that meant. Thanks for this info because I have had frustrations with my ends of blanket slanting so I must jot this info down. Thx so much.

@mariaamador6017 Год назад

Thank you so much for this video. I’m just learning how to crochet and the tips on your video were very helpful. 😊

@jonitouschner6040 11 месяцев назад

@shannonhatch7531 7 месяцев назад

I have struggled with this for years. This is the best explanation I've seen. Thank you so much!

@gracegodiya6189 3 года назад

Thank you so much ma'am. This tutorial is just for me. I got stuck on a project I'm working on because I noticed the crooked look of the blanket. In my case, the project became slightly narrowed as I worked upward. Kindly illustrate the two ways to make up for the missed stiches. Thank you and God bless you.

@quirkybeachbums7447 2 года назад

This is what I expected from the video as well. I've completed the project & just now am realizing how terribly crooked all 4 edges are, too narrow, then too wide. I don't have any yarn of the same colors left over & I don't want to take if all apart to start over, because baby is coming this weekend. How do I fix if? Even if I have to do several, crazy, scalloped borders? Help!

@maggieallen2199 2 года назад

Your explanation was very helpful! Thanks 🙏

@heraisakaj1472 2 года назад

is it possible to fix decreasing edges without taking ut apart if yes could you make a tutorial? thankyou!

@sarinirangedera7476 Год назад

these are great tips! thankyou so much! 😊

@janemurray5139 2 года назад

Great video thank you. My question is about wet blocking. After you wet block it and it straightens out your wonky edges, will the work return to its original crookedness if you throw it in the wash again? Or do you need to wet block it every time you wash it?

@hotfiama 2 года назад

Great information , thank you. I find working in the round to be the most confusing when it comes to ending and beginning rounds especially when working double crochet projects. Any tips for that?

@camillawhitkanack2415 Месяц назад

Very clear and very helpful. It's my first blanket, and the pattern did not say if the turning chain stitch counts or not. So I mistakenly assumed it did not matter, and I don't even think I was being consistent. Now I know...and making a fresh start all the wiser, with a stitch marker ready to go :)

@aloha1005 7 месяцев назад

This video was so good! I finally know what it means when it countsnor not as a sticht. Very good video!

@apriltaylor-carleton6207 10 месяцев назад

Thank you very much that was so helpful. I have a problem keeping the right side of my projects straight. I think it has to do with starting or ending my rows, but the left side is always even. What am I doing wrong?

@Elizabeth-kz6dq 2 года назад

This advice goes a great way for me..thankyou Brittany

@bhookedcrochet 2 года назад

Happy to help, Liz! 💙

@peggynalewaiski1535 11 месяцев назад

I’m am an absolute beginner currently crocheting a chunky blanket with Bernat blanket yarn. It is curling, however my edges don’t look all that off. Will adding a border, or blocking the blanket straighten out & correct the curling problem.

@maryline0113 5 лет назад

Can I ask you which yarn you're using in the examples? It's lovely!

@wandagordon6925 5 лет назад

@jofagan4375 3 года назад

So helpful! my next blanket Project will not have wonky edges …i am determined!🙂

@marlaelsholz9316 2 года назад

If your border is waive would it hide this if you end thus border with a waive shell type border?

@BeautifulWolf1987 2 года назад

I just started back a few months ago and am pretty proficient with rounds and projects that have a defined pattern, but my problem is with squares. I count my stitches and everything and it can all be correct but it slants. Like the rows are offset somehow. Any advise on how to fix it? I've unraveled my current project so many times trying to figure it out that I'm getting disheartened.

@carylmccarley6765 3 года назад

How can I fix my wavey sides of my blanket after finished? Can I do a Border to even it out? What Border Stitch can I use. I'm thinking there is no way to fix my curvy blanket and should just throw it in trash. I hope I don't have to do that. Can you please help me? Thank you.

@olgaolga9852 3 года назад

@bonnieprunella4650 18 дней назад

Very helpful.

@jacquelynkarney9001 2 года назад

HELP!! LOL I watch your videos all the time (new crocheter here). I made a scarf that alternates single crochet, double crochet. I wanted to apply the same pattern to a big blanket. Well...I have ripped it out a million times. :( On the double crochet rows I am not crocheting into the first stitch (like what you said here) and for the single crochet, I am....Am I still supposed to stitch into the chain at any point? I am confused since I am alternating single crochet with double I am so sad.

@colleenmisner454 5 лет назад

Can you do a video on how to SC around a border mine always comes out wonky I have trouble on the sides where there isn't stitches

@bhookedcrochet 5 лет назад

That's a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion 😊

@laurelsauvageau8300 2 года назад

I made a mess of a baby blanket. The bottom, or beginning of the blanket is about 30 inches wide. I am half way done right now and when I finally took a good look at it, it looks like a flared skirt😡. Is there anyway I can fix it, besides, I’m using three different colors of yarn and can’t see ripping out all that yarn! Help!

@user-qo7ze8rv8z 8 месяцев назад

Thank you uuuu🎉

@ezradot 5 лет назад

This was really helpful! I have a question about crochet in the round. In your opinion, what is the best way to change colors without getting a strange uneven jog when you switch yarns? Thanks!

@bunny8821 3 года назад

I'm still a beginner, but I would definitely try this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-15hqoR0KJHA.html

@jennyfitzpatrick8754 10 месяцев назад

Can you explain to me the current stitch/loop you’re working in at the beginning of a row? I think I always get an extra stitch because I crochet into the same loop that my hook is in.

@adrianneconstant 2 года назад

Thats awesome.. but is there a way to fix a project already started?

@user-dr5mm9dq6h 3 месяца назад

i am making a blanket and this is like my 3rd project but my edge is going diagonal it looks like it is going to turn into a triangle how doi fix that with out water

@rrome6178 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for your tutorial, it helps. The trouble I have is with counting and/or identifying what is a stitch, what is the turning chain when it’s counted as a stitch and I can’t tell what are rows. I keep watching and doing my best to identify.

@kayspicer4654 Год назад

How do you straighten edges if you are doing a star stitch? Di you still add a sc or dc instead of the star? (It actually takes two rows to make one star). I tend to end up with shorter rows. 😂

@dianesmith5257 5 месяцев назад

ThANK YOU! Iam a knitter,but I have tried to learn how to crochet. I just can't wrap my head around the turning stitches and how to keep the edges straight. I am going to try again. Your explanation was very helpful, but I know I'm going to run into this issue again! Any more advice?

@lindafrench4827 Год назад

What borders are best to cover up messy boarders

@raindropfairy 5 месяцев назад

the way this is about to save be from starting over💗

@samia8821 7 месяцев назад

My project is a sweater starting from the bottom ribbing. I did a row of half double, then a row of double crochet. After many rows, I noticed everything was going sidways, but the stitch count was correct (94 stitches) every row. I tried using the turning chain not as a stitch and as a stitch (after frogging and starting over again 😢). It was the same problem both times. If I could attach a picture I would.

@jackiehumphery2445 2 года назад

I was making to Blanket for my Nephew two new born Babies they are twins girl and boy. And I'm very upset.because it started to get Narrow as I was going up . What can I do

@Babyfairyprincessxo 9 месяцев назад

My mistake was when I started my blanket was that I was crocheting a lot looser and then now that I am more in the groove, I am making them tighter. Is there a way to fix this???😓

@linamartinez2552 2 года назад

Difficult in viewing when you are stitching bc I need to see end result. Camera cuts off too quickly for me. I’m a beginner. 1 side straight, other side confused. So beginning, skip 1st s, at end s in previous row??? Thanks

@laurapalka3685 10 месяцев назад

@marlenedenton619 3 месяца назад

Could one end of a blanket be straight and the other be short ? That’s my problem.

@ashleymarin3928 Год назад

Ma’am the damage is done, how do I fix it without undoing the whole project?

@loriturner60 3 года назад

How about both, caving and going out

@ooohlaa13 10 месяцев назад

You are v good instructor and v beautiful with beautiful backdrop but I would benefit SO much more by more camera work as you spoke because this is more of a lecture. I have no idea where to place the crochet hook after turning, too brief, and NO idea where to put the stitch marker, just don't know how to read the demo. I will slow it way down and your camera work is so close up and great, but no reinforcement to train the eye how to read where to put the hook and stitch marker for newbies like me. Many other teachers same thing, mark the first chain, last chain, what and where? Subscribed of course and glad to find out its not just me ending up with odd trapezoid and geometrical shape for my pillow cover LOL!!!

@brooklynglasscock4503 Год назад

My biggest problems is my edges one side go to the left and the other go on the right. I’m so tired of ripping Plz help

@samanthamitchem4897 2 года назад

@AnkaaraEnor 5 лет назад

I've thrown in an increase or decrease on a project rather than frog!

@saklee1777 Год назад

Because of how annoyed I get with crocheting more flat stuff because of the crooked edges Is one of the reasons why i find making amigurumi easier.

@aliceosawemwenzee4177 Месяц назад

Yeah as you're saying my edges are so crooked

@misselanys1219 4 месяца назад

This is why I despise crochet even though I have been crocheting since 1968. I would rather knit even though it takes twice as long. Also WHY do these teachers have to talk SO DAMN MUCH? Get to the point.
