    Hello Mikey
    I recently decided to learn knitting and crocheting and came across your tutorials and I have lots of them already bookmarked. I appreciate your user-friendly explanations and terminology PLUS you address the all-too-common issue of straight edges as well.
    I sincerely hope you will keep up your site and videos because they are fun to watch and I love hearing you laugh, it makes croceting that much more fun.

    To be honest I think I like crocheting better than knitting, you don’t have to worry about stitches slipping off a needle and if you make a boo-boo it is usually easy to see and it is easier to undo lots of stitches (even an entire row) then redo it than to knit and knit then at some point you look at a big hole and say (and I am using nice words here) “Gee golly..I dropped a stitch..or two” then have to go through a battery of knitting acrobatics to try and pick up a lost stitch.

    Anyways, that’s enough noise out of me. Keep up the awesomeness and keep laughing…it helps the day go by better. 🙂

      Question, I want to try a new way to do a 3d lllusion block with a chervon pattern. I have a friend on facebook that have done it. But wondered if or had anyone ever did a pattern in that way? If not. As a experment, I want to try to do one that way. Is there point on trying to make a new pattern like that. Just in case some one did do one and thought I was taking without asking of that pattern. It also a change to give a new idea hopefully.

I know that my other option is to piece together squares but I would like one large one. Let me know if you can help me to figure this out. Thank you in advance.

    read and agree. I’ve been doing the 2019 stitch along with my mum after JoAnn’s sent her an email regarding the challenge. We are both avid crocheters and crafters. My talents lie more in embroidery but I crochet shawls that I donate to my mum’s church for the prayer shawl ministry. Mum mostly quilts, (She’s working on several quilt of valor projects) but crochets baby hats that she donates to the local hospital for their new born babies to go home in. This stitch along has turned out to be surprisingly simple and quick and the resulting blankets are adorable. Two of my children are getting married this year and mum and I have agreed that these blankets will make lovely gifts for their new families.

I also got the Linen Stripes and am almost finished with the Brown Butter Shawl. Love all of the Crochet Crowd patterns and videos so easy to follow and they have taught me all that I know about crocheting from the very begining until now 3 yrs ago was my introduction to learning how to crochet and I owe all that I learned to the Crochet Crowd. I truly want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your time and sharing with so many skilled and unskilled.

    I’m also not sure if this is the right forum to ask a question. I am trying to make a Afghan using the wave ripple pattern. The problem I am having is that after a few rows I keep coming up short of stitches on one end. I have started over from the beginning at least 4 times n it keeps happening n it is always the same end that comes up short on stitches at end of row. I do not know why. Can anyone help me ?

    Hi Mikey … I love your tutorials. I do have a qurstion/request. When you calculate out a pattern that requires continuing established increases and the pattern has various sizes, could you please include the number of stitches required to accomplish the desired result for the larger sizes? I never seem to get the correct results. Specifically, I want to make the turtleneck cape but I simply cannot get my numbers to calculate correctly. Can you help me?

      Understood. That type of design was by the designers of Yarnspirations. I totally see your point as well and have fallen into the trap of getting counts wrong as well. I will see what I can do on the tutorial work when that is a factor. Generally I do, but maybe I skipped it in this case.

      If you stitch across a set number of stitches like 12, you need 10 rows high to be square. So if you had 20 sts across, you would do 18 rows.

      The number of rows is always 2 less than the stitch count number across. Hopefully that helps you.

    So many of us sent maple leaves for the Ontario 150th anniversary. Then I had read that the tree was “put on hold” and that any updates would be posted. What ever happened to the tree and all the leaves???

      Morning Deb,

      The tree was put into Storage at Yarnspirations. Due to construction of the NAC and the building not being ready on time for the showpiece, we missed the opportunity to put it on exhibit. We found out about 3 weeks before the set up date, the tree was shipped to Yarnspirations and put into storage for later use. We don’t have any plans in the works to have it completely finished with structural support because we lost our positioning. It needs scaffolding to put up as it’s 20 feet tall. All of us were really disappointed and I know many contributors were as well. I’m sorry.

    Mikey, I realize two years have gone by before I tackled The Hexagon Market Tote, but I have finished it, yes, in stifling temperatures in New England. Even with a few errors, I am very proud to have accomplished a hexagon crochet stitch, which while it appears to be simple will become so confusing at the end of rows. I stayed with it, and filled my finished tote with skeins of Lilly, Sugar n’ Cream Cotton Yarn. I used Lilly N’ Cream Warm Chocolate, but I think it is more of a milk chocolate. I would love for you to see it, if you can show me where to upload an image. My tote is not perfect, but neither am I, and I still love it. Thanks again Mikey, for your painstaking time and effort with attention to detail as well as all the extras you added to your version of the Market tote. Your persistence inspired me. Ciao Bella

    We see a LOT of posts talking about how their local store has a great selection or a terrible selection of yarn, how great a sale is in their town, how much yarn they bought today, etc. I thought we weren’t supposed to post things like this as it barely pertains to crochet & often the sales/selection isn’t the same in every store. We also get lots whining about a specific stitch or pattern – not asking for help…just complaining. I find it odd that on such posts the comments aren’t turned off. I understand the poster venting but then everyone gets on the train and starts complaining & nothing positive comes from it – it’s just a long thread of unnecessary gripes.

    Hello there, I live in Australia where we can access a fair quantity of yarn from local suppliers but I must admit I do a lot of my yarn shopping from overseas sites. As my stash is basically made up of #3 light weight/DK which is the main type of yarn we in Australia can get, My question to you Mikey and the team I have noticed that your stitch alongs, CAL’s, patterns etc are all in #4 worsted weight yarn, so how do I amend the patterns to accommodate the lighter yarn, I have never done a gauge swatch as when I learnt about 40yrs ago no one ever used them or can you include some patterns for the lighter weight yarn. Thank you so much.

    I absolutely LOVE and appreciate the fact that by joining your FB group I won’t be subjected to thousands of offers to follow other groups. I belong to several and I always find it rather rude when someone makes a post trying to lure readers to their website, group, Etsy page, etc. I’ve read and 100% agree to and appreciate your group rules. Well done! 🙂

    Hello,
    I am having serious trouble and desperately need help with the pattern for corner to corner double crochet afghan posted on March 29, 2016. I have followed the pattern precisely and it will fan out and increase way too much every time i try it. I started over the first time and inadvertently did not do an increase at end of the row the way the pattern said. Instead I had put two dc in last dc and then a dc in the top of the turning chain. It looked good for a while but as it got bigger it was not increasing enough to make a right angle corner. I bought enough Bernat Pop! yarn to make a queen sized afghan for myself and really don’t want to scrap it all. I did notice a comment below the video tutorial after I had my troubles with it and the person said hers looked warped. Maybe my fanning out is her warped. HELP! PLEASE???

    Hi, I am making a double Crochet blanket, for my son. He wanted a 10 foot by 10 foot blanket, but that’s wat to big so I was thinking 8×8. My question is, how many do I need to chain and how many rows will I need to make this blanket? I am pretty new to crocheting, but I can do a good chain and double crochet.
    Thanks for your help!

      Make a chain just a little looser than normal or use one size hook larger and measure with measuring tape the length of your first chain. Being is that it will stretch as you continue on with your rows to a bit larger size, guesstimate and make your chain a little shorter. Then start your toes. This is what I do unless the blanket absolutely has to be that size. Also you can make up a swatch of ten chains with larger hook for chain and one size smaller hook for blanket as before and measure that and times it by however big you want it. You can use 6 chains, or 8 chains and see how it works with a smaller piece first. Multiply that 6 or eight to see the size you need. You are new and just need to play with the yarn yet. All yarns are not the same stretch either. Cotton does not stretch at all. You will get it. Keep trying. Never give up. Ok to set it down and rest and rethink but never give up. You will really love crochet. You do already by asking questions.

    Hello. I am relatively new to crochet and I have found your you tube tutorials to be some of the most strait forward to follow when learning new stiches and how to put things together.

    So I have always worked in and around the field of developmental services and have been trying to figure out if there is a way I can use crochet to make a weighted blanket. They are very helpful to to both children and adults with Autism Spectrum as well as people with other diagnosis. Weighted blankets are most effective when they weight at least 5 to 10% of the child or persons body weight.

    As I said I’m looking for ideas and inspiration on how this may be don’t with crochet. Thanks.

But never could read a pattern and always made granny square projects. But once I found your YouTube Channel it seems all I get done is watching your tutorials and dreaming of what to make next. Thank you so much for all the hard work and dedications to crochet. You are so appreciated.

    I’m looking for a bedspread pattern for my son & daughter in law for a wedding gift. They live in So Cal, so I want something that is lightweight and was thinking of using cotton yarn, but I don’t know of a good pattern. Can you make any suggestions? I’d like to keep it a single neutral color because they have not yet moved into their home.
    Thanks In Advance

    I’d like some input on my next project. Actually, it’s an older project that I am re-birthing. I have changed my mind on the stitching. You see, I am making a queen size blanket for some friends of ours that are blind.

    I’ve done the first part (5 or 6 rows) in dc and now that I am changing colors I decided I’d like to do a stitch that would be more aesthetically pleasing, something they can feel and enjoy. In order to do this I need a new stitch. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    I hadn’t posted for a while on the Facebook groups . I went to crochet along crochet Crowders and noticed that the group had been archived. So I went to the crocheted crowd and it looks like I have to join again. There is no way to post like there used to be . Are these guidelines the reason? Do I have to join again? I have been a member about five years or maybe more. I had also been receiving Mikey magazine and have noticed the last few months that I’m no longer receiving it. I estimate my last post as sometime in January . I believe my last Mickey magazine was around that time . Anyway, I miss the crochet crowd! I’ve still been crocheting . But I want to share everything with you guys.

    Oh yes! I read the guidelines and I definitely agree with them . But do I need to join again? I sent the request that I feel a little foolish . And how do I resubscribe to the magazine? I am making one of the mandalas from the crochet crowd. Really hard for me, somewhat advanced . I’ve been crocheting now for over 15 years and I rarely find a new stitch these days but there are quite a few in this one . I’m excited about it and I wanted to show it off.

    I really miss my Crochet Crowders and Knit Crowd pages. I’m so excited and a bit intimidated and would so love their sweetness and encouragement. Yesterday, at a gun show of all places, I got my first ‘commissioned’ knitting project for one of the sellers out there!! Whaaaaaat??? Yep… I got this! LOL

    Is there anyway of bringing back the Crochetcrowders and The Knit Crowd? I’ll help if you want me too. I can spend time everyday making sure posts aren’t ugly and if they are to get rid of them asap. Or maybe I can help with the complaint emails? Seriously, anything I can do to maybe get that community back?

    I know there were some bad eggs and it broke my heart to see it. But I have to believe that the good outweighed the bad. I have to believe that some people just want to stir the pot and need to not be among us. There really isn’t room or need for ugliness. And I can totally understand the weight those negative emails must have been. But maybe some of us can help shoulder that burden so it’s not so heavy on your shoulders. I’m not talking about you hiring anyone either. I’d be happier than you could know to just volunteer my time.

    I really miss those men and women who gave me a wonderful and safe place to share my craft and my life… and my craft is my life some would say so ..yeah.

    I enjoy being part of the crochet crowd and the knit crowd it says this page has been archived 🙁 and am so sad that the crochet crowd page has been suspended. I understand how much work it is to keep things running smoothly and would like Dan, Mike, Laura and Jean (please forgive me if your names are in correct) to know that I enjoyed being part of your group and I pray that after a “vacation” you return to the happy place this use to be. Thank you for all you have done!

    Mr Mike I am trying to make the slouchy crochet beanie by Caron cakes yarn. My crochet stitches are not coming out even at all. I crochet round 1 and 2 when I get to round three my stitches are not the count of the row.,chain 2 didn’t count as a switch. And in each round join with a slip stitch first half double. In your YouTube you join to the chain 2. How can I make my stitches come out even. I am always a stitch or two off. Round 3 is 21 stitches at the end of the row I am wlwzys 1 or 2 stitches off. My stitches are not coming out even with the rows. I want to really make this hat. I have been crocheting for over 30 years or more. I have take the pattern out so many times.

    Hello, I did leave a message on another page I think it went to Mikey, but I’m not sure. Anyway I have a pattern that is a fanthrow it has pineapple fan edging and I am about to pull my hair out. You crochet the center first then break off the thread and make the edging separate and attach to the center. I am not sure I am getting the directions right. Do you have a video that would help? Thanks and I love all the pictures you get on facebook.

    I am trying to figure out how to make a tunisian crohook graphghan. I have Lily Chin’s video, but she doesn’t go in to detail how to change multiple colors to make a design within the two colors of each round. I’ve subscribed to Crochet Crowd–great work!–but haven’t found anything about this technique.

    Any suggestions where I can look, of if this is a planned youtube vid for the future?

    Dear Mikey,

    There have been a few that have been in drama mode about the content on the site. I for one am a part of this group BECAUSE of the content. Yes it is crochet mainly, but the added posts of pets and family make you feel like you are a part of something bigger than crochet. I would hate to see it change because of a few that don’t see that aspect of it – the warmth and humanity. That said you are a delight and I have totally enjoyed being a member of the group. I hope that it remains warm in the future.

      It depends on the pattern, but most afghans use about 70-75 oz. to fit on top of twin, without much overhang. If you get more, you can always make a pillow out of leftover.

I was first a knitter, having learned at age 9, from my grandmother; so I’ve been knitting for about 50 years! When I was pregnant with my 2nd daughter (37 years ago), I found a pattern for a broomstick lace blanket and knew I had to make it for my baby. So I taught myself to crochet but have never really excelled at it. After finding your web page, Facebook page, and YouTube tutorials, I knew that I could crochet anything I wanted! The helpfulness and encouragement you show to all of the members of The Crochet Crowd is a talent not everyone is blessed with. I am so thankful to have found all of you and am anxious to start posting some of my crochet and crochet/knitting projects.

      If you can learn the broomstick lace, you can learn anything. Start out with the videos. They are very helpful. If you can’t follow that (usually because Mikey is laughing too hard), go to you tube and type in the stitch you are trying and there should be more videos on the stitch from someone much, more boring.. Good Luck. Doreen Espinosa

My mother crocheted all my life and crocheted with the very fine thread and very thin needles. She made pineapple dollies, bedspreads, etc. However, I haven’t advanced to that level, but have learned so very much for your tutorials. Thanks so very much.

      I have not seen anything on the religious part. I am a Christian, deeply, but i have seen people who think they are acting Christian when really, they are being a tad whacko or taking God’s job of judging…or using the wrong forum for their beliefs. Today i posted some strong feelings to a public forum of my congress person, because it was a very hot topic there. But if i made that comment here…well, you would probably let me know, right? I made a request one time here for a link to a crocheted Nativity Scene. I was very ill that day…103 temp! Thinking back, i am not sure i made the request the way i meant to. That could have been a cause for caution, but i guess people were merciful, thank you. But the request for the pattern link is still unanswered, by the way 🙂 Blessings you all!

        Morning Lenore… We don’t allow diving too hard into any religion on our platforms. We are global in nature and have many citizens of the globe that have different belief systems. We simply stick to crochet to avoid religious fighting on our pages. We used to have a lot of it and people posting a lot of religious based content and we had to put an end to it as it always caused a huge fight. We simply avoid the subject to keep the peace.

        As far as the Nativity Scene, you can find free patterns for those on Ravelry. Just use the search engine on Ravelry and you will be able to find them.

    I couldn’t find a mail address ,so I’ll post my thanks her.
    Let me start by saying that your page is a gift for a crochet buff like me,I came across this site, when I roamed around Youtube, looking for a pattern for Crocodile stitches,not knowing that they were called so at the time.
    I found your tutorial,and I must say, you made it look so easy.
    I signed up and, bingo, there it was, the site I had been looking for.
    I use it both as a place to find new patterns and as a place for inspiration and innovation.
    So let me end this, as I began, A huge thanks to all of you on the Crochet crowd , You have made a Danish girl more than happy.

    Best wishes

    Hello, I have made varied attempts over the last year to get some of my projects posted to your FB page, but haven’t seen or heard anything posted! I believe I follow all your rules, but have only been able to submit photos to you via email. Maybe you aren’t getting them? Anyway, I love seeing the posts of everyone’s projects and I’d like to show off my skills too. Right now, feeling a little left out of the crochet crowd!

        Guess I’m not FB-savvy enough! (Spend more time crocheting!) I will try this. Thank you for your response!

    The angels sang yesterday when I stumble on this site. I am looking forward to exploring every nook and cranny.

    I can’t believe someone finally put together my two favorite things…crocheting and cruising…so sorry I can’t make the 2015 trip…but will definitely be on the 2016 cruise!!!

    Hey Mikey
    I love your tutorials and they are helpful and fun, but I have a problem I can’t read patterns. I have tried several times but can’t get it, I have also tried watching tutorials and some of them are so fast I have to keep pausing so I can follow the video.

    Is there an easier way for beginners to follow so that we can how to crochet other projects. I want to move on to other projects, but it is frustrating.

    If you can help please email me.

    Thanks
    Lisa

      The speed of tutorials is a common complaint… some complain I am way too slow… others complain I am too fast… It’s a science of finding the right balance. We do have tutorials for new crocheters in the 24 Course Program that go step by step. You will find that on our youtube channel. http://youtube.com/mikeyssmail scroll down to the bottom. I’m sorry if my videos are too quick for you and that you are experiencing difficulties in following them.

        Isn’t there a pause button on your pattern pages? If been to 3-4 different ones and I watch it before crocheting. That way I can remember almost the whole pattern row before crocheting. If I have to play it back, I will know most of it and will only have to watch what I forgot. I don’t think any of them were to fast, some were to repetitive, but I know how to crochet and can get it from a book if I wanted to and not even watch. It’s just different to watch crocheting instead of the crap on TV.

    I am left handed and teaching myself to crochet using your youtube videos and self help books. I am very excited to try many different patterns.

    I don’t know if this is the appropriate forum but, I am looking for a mentor in the Gretna, LA area as I am having trouble not adding or deleting from my rows Also, reading patterns.

    Thank you for any help you can give me.
