Oh my stars. This is a game changer. So easy, sp simple. But oh so fabulous

@theastewart6721 5 месяцев назад

Very interesting technique! I’ve been crocheting for years and have never seen this before. I’ll definitely be giving this a try. Thanks so much!😊

@m-rstringer3750 Месяц назад

Olga, you are a true professional !! I can only say that I hope very much you've monetized your Web presence so that you're making money from providing all this brilliant information to we ignorant amateurs ! Thank-you from the heart, you clever and generous woman !

@OlgaPoltava Месяц назад

Wow, thank you for your kind, supportive words. My channel is monetized, but it's difficult to make money on RU-vid. But thankfully, I am able to sell my patterns on Etsy. I have returning customers; people just seem to like my style of writing pattern. I also take crochet commissions in my community, and that greatly helps too. I'm just very grateful and happy that I can earn a living (though a frugal one) through my crochet work.

@alicejackson7676 5 месяцев назад

Thank you. I have never liked the rough edges of my projects. I will practice this!

Thank you do much!! This is exactly why i have avoided crochet garments, and knit instead! I love this and now have to try a garment in crochet! ❤🎉

I've never seen this technique but it makes sense & looks so much better❤

@yarnmotivated-joyceswensso9744 5 месяцев назад

Excellent. After 48 years of crochet, I'm delighted to learn a better technique. It's satisfying to see the beginning of a row double crochet as I've been using that forever and love the look.

@deble4274 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for this tip! I was never aware of the this technique. I like the look of aligned stitches so much better. Also, the beginning stich is genius.

@dianastanfill6779 5 месяцев назад

I have been crocheting for decades and had to learn this on my own. You are the first channel to have pointed this out!!!!! ♥

@OlgaPoltava 5 месяцев назад

I'm trying to remember when I learned to crochet this way, but I can't remember. My mom taught me to crochet when I was a child. Did she teach me this way or did I figured it out on my own? I can't tell. But it's definitely one or the other because there was no RU-vid back then, and crochet and knitting was taught from a person to person.

@sherrypelkey2453 5 месяцев назад

Wow! I’ve been crocheting for years and years and have never seen this! Amazing!

@sherisouthard1766 5 месяцев назад

Love this! I have never been a fan of the "traditional" look of double crochet in a garment. This way makes a beautiful fabric! Thank you!!

@OlgaPoltava 5 месяцев назад

It really does create a fabric that looks better and neater than the original dc.

@nautsrenata 5 месяцев назад

That's really interesting, thank you!

@liliasawyer7145 5 месяцев назад

Wow, this is a great tip. I'll be trying your method today!

@margaretmmg 5 месяцев назад

It makes a neater looking piece. Thank you.

@karenh2890 5 месяцев назад

I'm going to give this a try!

@sandaramoore9660 5 месяцев назад

It’s always wonderful to learn something new…I’ve been crocheting for almost 60 years…doing DC the traditional way. I really like the uniformity of the stitches when you complete them the way you’re demonstrating. I will certainly be trying this new way. DC is my favorite and fastest stitch… will definitely take some getting use too!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Will be getting plenty of practice using the attached sweater tutorial. Stay safe and be blessed ❤

@OlgaPoltava 5 месяцев назад

Aww, that's wonderful to hear! It might take a bit of practice, but I'm sure you'll love the finished result. And I'm so glad you like my sweater tutorial! Happy crocheting!

@shannonrossi8076 5 месяцев назад

Hi Olga. When I first found your channel I saw you explain this technique in one of your videos and I was so excited to learn about this. I have been working my DCs with this tip ever since. I love all of your little tips and tricks and have incorporated all of them into my work. Thanks again! 🌻💕

@OlgaPoltava 5 месяцев назад

Hi Shannon, I'm so glad to hear that. It makes me happy if I can share something helpful with other crocheters!

@roxannapurcell7305 5 месяцев назад

Hi Olga,thank you for this great tutorial…I have only done dc in the traditional way but I’m going to try this .Thanks again 😊🧶🩷

@susanfryer1616 5 месяцев назад

It’s best to keep it lined up thankyou x

@marielefebvre5891 5 месяцев назад

I guess I’m not “most”:people because I learned how to crochet by passing the hook into the back of the loop, so as to attach to a single stand of yarn. It’s very fast, but very loose, but the stitches shrink down into place after a couple of washings and you can’t tell the difference. It’s good to see the difference. I appreciate knowing so now I can choose. Thanks so much!

@OlgaPoltava 5 месяцев назад

That's a great tip too, thank you so much for sharing. I think many crocheters are very "conservative" and prefer to stick with the basics they were taught and not really venture into experimenting or learning new things. But it's by experimenting and learning that we can advance our craft.

@luciewager7359 5 месяцев назад

I try to avoid double crochet whenever possible, i simply dislike the huge gaps and feel it looks amateurish. However, this technique has a tighter weave and straight lines that is very pleasing to the eye. Thank you!! I’ll be using this for sure. Your tutorials are wonderful

@OlgaPoltava 5 месяцев назад

You are very welcome! And I agree, the way traditional dc are done looks quite lousy (maybe this is not the right word, but I can't think of any other).

@krishalverson7533 5 месяцев назад

Thankyou

@TheCatlady63 5 месяцев назад

I changed to your way a few years ago when I came across it. I really need to use the starting DC more as I don't like the floppy edge stitches.

@OlgaPoltava 5 месяцев назад

I'm so glad to hear you did! And yes, starting dc makes a big difference for the edges.

@KristiesHooked 5 месяцев назад

I appreciate you sharing this knowledge so much. I tend to avoid projects that use row by row double crochet because it looks... Well it looks awful, imo. I tried your way and it does slow me down a bit and the fabric actually turned out slightly wider but it's a fair trade off to have a much better, much cleaner looking design in the end. Thank you bunches! ❤

@OlgaPoltava 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad you gave it try! And with more practice, you'll pick up the speed! Happy crocheting!

@Tphelan100 5 месяцев назад

I’ve been crocheting for 25 yrs and there’s always something new to learn. Fantastic tip. Olga, it looks like it is much easier to see the hole where you put your stitch under the V the old way. I wonder if people were taught the old way because it’s faster..??? Do you find that your new way is slower since it looks like it takes a minute to find where to put your hook in? It’s not as easier to see your hole. I am definitely going to try this. Thanks for your insight.

@OlgaPoltava 5 месяцев назад

Yes, it's definitely easier to make a dc inserting the hook under the "v". But it might take a bit of more effort to do the way I showed. I've been crocheting this way so long, that now I'm so used to it, and it comes just as easily as making a dc under the "v". So I guess it's just a matter of practice and repeating.

@gudrundibrani1955 5 месяцев назад

Dear Olga, this is helpful again, i try to crochet like this, since i found your channel. Sometimes its difficult für me, when i use dark colors or thicker wool. But it looks really much better . I have a question: maybe you can teach us about the yarngroups ? Which number stands what for, and what is to do ,when on the banderol its no Information about the yarngroup. I think this a for many crocheter interesting .i have often this Problem when i like to start a new Projekt, what yarn and needle could be the best. I know you have a Video about this still on your channel, but i would like to know much more about this. Thank you dear Olga and many greats from germany

@OlgaPoltava 5 месяцев назад

Hi! I'm so glad to know you've been crocheting this way. But you are correct, depending on yarn and hook, sometimes it can be challenging. I remember I crocheted a shawl with fine mohair yarn and a large size hook. And it would be very difficult to crochet this way, so I simply worked under 2 loops or the "v". That's a great idea for a future video; thank you for suggesting. I'll give it some thought!

@mariankay6482 5 месяцев назад

I started making my dc's this ways over a year ago from watching you teach it this way. I love how my projects look now. It is a complete game changer. Is this how it was originally done and we lost the technique or is this an upgrade from the original way?

@OlgaPoltava 5 месяцев назад

I honestly don't know if it was originally done this way. I can't remember when I learned to crochet this way. For me it feels like I've always done it.

@mariankay6482 5 месяцев назад

@@OlgaPoltava I have never seen anyone but you double crochet this way. It works so well!!!❤️

@wandawilliams6409 5 месяцев назад

What a great tip! I’m going to start doing the doubles correctly. Is it the same for singles, trebles, etc?

@OlgaPoltava 5 месяцев назад

For trebles it will be the same. But if you work single crochets this way, you will get the waistcoat stitch (I actually have a few videos about that).
