Waistcoat Stitch Crochet Tutorial 

You are the BEST teacher for this tutorial. You are patient and you do close-ups so it can be seen exactly what you are doing. So very easy to follow. Thanks a million..

I spent almost an hour re-doing and unravelling my work that I almost cried because I couldn't get the edges straight with this stitch, and no other tutorial was helping. I'm so glad I found this! Thank you so much for this video. The way you speak is very comforting

Oh I'm going to like this stitch a lot for washcloths, kitchen towels and baby burp cloths! Thank you so much!

I've been crocheting for 41 years and I had never heard of this stitch before. Without your video I would never have been able to make it. This is so much easier to do thanks to watching you and knowing I wasn't alone when it came to putting the hook between the legs and having a bit of a struggle doing so. Instead of quitting I took a deep breath and persevered forward. Your right it does get easier with each row. Many thanks to you for taking the time to make such a helpful video for all like myself who had never used this stitch before. Now I look forward to making the tranquil washcloth. Blessings to you.

Totally agree with Sheila, absolutely THE best tutorial for this stitch. Thank you thank you 😊

the little giggle at the end! so cuuute and thank you for your insightful video! I'm using this to make the base of my bag!

This is the ONLY tutorial I've ever seen that makes this stitch make sense to me! Thank you so much!

And this stitch also makes an awesome scarf...

Thank you for the simple explanation of the waistcoat stitch. I was having a hard time, but now I understand much better 🦋

Thank you so much! This is easily the best waistcoat stitch tutorial on RU-vid imo. I watched so many before this one and was about to lose it because my edges were so crooked. You saved me.

The best tutorial!!!!! by far!!! thank you thank you !!

Ok, I definitely need this in my life... thank you so much Ashlea! 😊

That is so cool. Thank you Ashley. ❤

Great video and clear instructions!

You are explaining it in the best way ! Thank you!

I've actually been looking for how to do this stitch!!! Thank you!!

Hi! I just used this stitch for a mini project for the first time and I’m blown away! The yarn was very stretchy so I thought it wouldn’t work, but the end result is a bulky, no-seethrough beautiful pattern fabric ❤️ that even I as a beginner could follow! I think you should mention earlier why you make the second loop bigger though, as it helped me very much mid project!! It was way easier to find the “legs” on the stitch and put my hook there. I struggled a bit at the beginning but I persevered and I’m so happy I did! Thank you for being so patient and for the tutorial ❤️❤️❤️

Such a clear and excellent tutorial. I've been obsessed with learning how this is actually done and how it turns out, so thank you for all the details.

Thank you for this! First WCS tutorial I’ve found that makes sense to me. I tend to crochet tightly so this will definitely take some practice! 😄

Brilliant, thank you

I truly appreciate you. The best teacher . I know how to do this now . I love how you talk. Very clear. Thank you so much for your time . Please teach more. Your awesome!!! God bless you.

Thank you for this tutorial. I seriously now understand it. I unraveled my project so many times, I was about to quit. This makes so much more sense now! Thank you again!!

Merci pour ce tutoriel. Je cherchais un tutoriel pour un point style jersey mais je trouvais que des points qui se font en rond ou alors au crochet afghan. Je vais pouvoir essayer !

I love this stitch thank you

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I'm about to try a crochet ankle sock and i was worried about getting the hang of this stitch

Thank you!

Whoa, seriously underrated tutorial! I'm planning on trying this stitch for a hat I've been struggling with making, hopefully it'll do the trick - but if not, these instructions will help me make many more things with it regardless xD

This is the worst stitch to learn with black yarn, while pulling an all nighter. Still you did such a good job explaining it that I got it on my first try.

You can also do the waist coat stitch with a half double or double crochet, it just depends on how dense and heavy you want your peace to be. The double crochet waistcoat stitch makes a beautiful basket

Love this! Super easy to follow and understand- I'm working on the child hibernation hoodie, do you have a video for that one?

Best tutorial ever thanks

Awesome! I made a scarf for a snowman amigurumi. It turned out great! (Initial chain the length of the scarf) Thank you!

- Very well explained! 🌷

Ahhh, now I think I know what I was doing wrong the first time when trying to do it flat for a cocoon cardigan. Thanks. ❤️

How do you get your stitching so neat? Like without making it look wonky. Bc i have tried for so long but i can`t get it apparently.

I tried this but it was too stiff for the sweater i was making so I've been wondering, can this be done with a hdc or even a double crotchet stitch?.....i feel like it'll be a bit looser if i try it with a double crotchet stitch

is it possible to do the waistcoat stitch but in a round form? not in a square

Could this stitch be done with a foundation SC instead of a chain?

I'm trying a 60 starting chain blanket but it's becoming twisted, is this normal and should I perservere or am I doing something wrong?

This video made so much sense but I’m still struggling so much. I’m following a mitten pattern where after making the cuff of the mitten, you join back on and start the mitten with this stitch. But because you’re crocheting directly into a mitten cuff, there’s no starting chain to get that good base for the stitch. The pattern says nothing about how to troubleshoot this so I’m totally lost. Anyone know how I can solve this?

Beautiful stitch. Thanks for sharing. I have a question: the waistcoat stitch is the same as the shadow single crochet stitch? Regards from argentina

Is it the same as the stockinette stitch?

That crochet book looks so comfortable... What make is it please?

as you said, when I go between those legs finding the correct spot isn't that difficult:)

Does this work for tapestries?

*Can you tell me what brand & model hook you’re using in this video?* I use only _inline_ hooks, but most of the newer (comfort grip) hooks that claim to be inline, are kind of _hybrids_ of inline and tapered. In other words, the *hook* itself is inline, but the necks are often a little tapered, which I don’t like. But the one you’re using looks perfect. Inline hook with zero tapering at the neck. I’ve looked at different brands, but I haven’t seen one that checks all the boxes like this one in your video. Please do tell. 🙏🏻 😊

How do I use this stitch in the round or oval such as for a headband or basket ?

do you think this would be a good stitch for a baby blanket or no?

would this be too thick to make a cardigan? i like the way it looks and i wanted the cardigan to not be see through as much as possible, thanks!

Hello so I’m making my daughter a cardigan with this stitch, now it doesn’t say about a single stitch at beginning and end of the row would this be a good idea to implement into the pattern?

Can you do this stitch on a blanket or would it make it too stiff

Is it possible to increase with this stitch?

What is the name of the hook you are using please

What are some things yall use this stitch for?

Hi, Im sorry, but this is not working out for me. If I add an extra regular single crochet at the ends, the way you do in your video, Im basically increasing the length with 2 extra stiches each line.

Its really frustrating that I had to restart the entire thing because it was too tight, it would be nice if you mentioned to keep them loose so you can actually get between the legs of the stitch.
