Transcripts

1. 1. Introduction: Hi there, My loves Eleanor charity here of silane cruciate and welcome to another course. If you're new than welcome to today's quiz. Today, we're going to be crochet in this beginner friendly stitch and washcloth. It is a beginner friendly pattern that is perfect for gifting or for spicing up your bathroom decor. If you are excited to make this washcloth, then be sure to click on that Enroll button and join us in this class. At the end of this course, you should be able to make a slipknot, single crochet, and then double crochet together with some added skills like the slipknot, chain and weaving in the ends. At the end. This is Dan. Dan said, What are you waiting for? Grab that crochet hook, grab your yarn and enrolling class. 2. 2. Materials: The materials that you need. A full 0.5 millimeter crochet hook, some yarn, yarn needle, scissors, and a measuring tape. 3. 4. Row 1: To begin, make your slipknot. And to make a slipknot, I'm going to do this much slower. I like to bring my yarn and hold the base of it like so, wrap it around my fingers and make a little criss-cross just like that. Then bring my crochet hook underneath through that and just loop it. If that's too hard, you could always do it like this. Two fingers like that. Bring it underneath. You've made a little bow like so, and then bring the yarn from underneath, from the center and pull the longer tail. And you've got yourself a slipknot. So with the pattern of this washcloth, we're going to be changing in multiples of two since we are doing this stitch. And so I am going to make a chain of 32. So to change us yarn over and pull through that loop. So let me start again from the beginning with you and make that slipknot. And then you just want to ANOVA and pull the yarn through the loop, yarn over and pull the yarn through the loop. And you want to do this for a total of 30 to stitch chains. Or you can make this as long as you want or as short as you want. As for me, I would like to have mine at Chase. So I am going to continue making 32 chains. And I will meet you one-up once I've got my 32 chains. So after you have made your chain, you want to go back and count again just to make sure you've caught yourself those 32 chains. Because you really do want to make sure you have yourself and even number. And before going further, just grip yourself to stitch markers. They can be of the same color or different colors. It really does not matter. So I like to have a clean edge or a foundation chain. So to do so, I like to turn my chain the other way around and work into those back bumps. So when I turned my chin around, if you see these little bumps poking out of the chains, that is where we're going to be working, our stitches. So you just want to find the second shape from the hook, which is this one right here. Turn that around, find the bump, which is this one right here. And you want to go in there and place a single crochet, social place, a single crochet hook. Pull through there. We've got two loops on our hook, yarn over and pull through two. So since it can be very easy for beginners to mess up the first and the last stitches. That's why we need this stitch markers. So into that first stitch, first single crochet we made, we are going to place a stitch marker. We're now going to skip that next chain and then enter the second chain after that one. You want to place a single crochet, just as we did earlier. And into that very same chain, you're going to place a double crochet. So to do a double crochet, we ANOVA and this sort of hook yarn through. Now we've got three loops on our hook, yarn over. Pull through 22 loops on our hook yarn over and pull through two. We are going to skip the next chain, find the next one, and repeat what we did earlier. A single crochet. Urine over that same stitch. Please. Double crochet. Skip that next chain into the next chain. Still working in the buck bumps. And we're going to repeat that single crochet and a double crochet. Skip that next cheap, find the next one. And this is what we're gonna be doing for the entire row. Single crochet and a double crochet into that same chain. Skip the next one. And place a single question to double crochet, skip the next chain and you get the idea. We are going to do this, repeat doing this for the entire row. So far this is what we're looking like. And also that stitch has not started to show yet. So you just want to continue skipping your chain. Placing a single crochet in the double cream to the same genes. Skip one single crochet, double crochet, skip one single crochet, double crochet. And I will meet you and we've got polymer chains at the end. So if your stitch come from correct, you should have two chains at the very end. So we're going to skip that next chain as usual, and then enter the last one. We're just going to place one single crochet, just like so. Serum and bookcases stitch marker in the last one. What could it be removing it very soon. But this is just for you to keep track off the first and the last single crochet use or stitches. So this is the end of our one. And so far this is what our work is looking like. 4. 5. Row 2: To begin row two and every other row following here, we are going to chain 1.10. So the first single crochet will be placed in the first stitch, which is where I'll stitch markers. So we're just going to remove that stitch marker for now. Place a single crochet. And after you've placed that single crochet, you want to return that stitch marker. By the way, if you do not have a problem with listening the first stitch, you can always leave out the stitch markers. And then if that same stitch, you weren't too, please. Double crochet. Now this is the part that I really want you to pay attention to. When we hold our work like this, you're going to see our stitches or disease. So if you notice you have a bigger feet and the smaller v, a bigger V and the smaller the big V's are where we placed the double crochet. The smaller ones are where we had our single crochet. So we are only going to be working into the smaller v. So we're going to be skipping the big one and then going into the smaller one. Or you can just skip the first stitch and then into the second one. And if that second stitch, we will place a single crochet into that same stitch, go back with a double crochet. Skip that next stitch. This movie or stitch, single crochet into the same stitch. Go back in with a double crochet. Skip that next stitch right into the single crochet, into the same stitch. You are going in with a double crochet, skipping that next stitch. Single crochet and double crochet into that very same stitch. You want to repeat this all the way to the end of the row. However, we're gonna be adding them all slightly different. So I will be meeting new one. We reached that very last stitch. Continue doing this. Let me just show you one more time. Skip that next stitch. And then into the next one, your one single crochet and into the same stitch. Double crochet, one more time. Single crochet and double crochet. Don't forget to skip one stitch, single crochet and into the same stitch, double crochet. So let me just get to the end and now we'll meet you so that we can work into that last stitch together. So now we have reached the end of the row. And now into that last stitch, we are just going to place a single crochet. Remember to replace that stitch marker if you keep skipping that last stitch. To begin row three, we're going to be changing on as usual. I'm just going to leave the work down to show you what role should be looking like. If your stitch count was correct, you should have two chains at the very end. So we're going to skip that next chain as usual. And then the last one, we're just going to place one single crochet, just like so. So remember cases stitch, marker and the last one. We're going to be removing it very soon. But this is just for you to keep track off the first the last single crochets or stitches. So this is the end of our one. And so far this is what our work is looking like. 5. 6. Row 3-28: To begin row three, chain one. And turn into that very first stitch, pleasure single crochet into that same stitch. A double crochet. Skip that next stitch. Single crochet. And double crochet skip that next stitch and are going to single crochet. Double crochet. And that's what you're going to be doing for the entire row and the entire work. So remember this is as work in row three. And we're going to continue on doing this all the way up to about 28 or depending on how long you want it to be. But I was going for 10 ". So I am going to stop at 01:28. If you have racial 28 and you do not have the 10 " and you would like the 10 ", then be sure to just continue working until you've caught yourself some 10 ". So I'm just going to continue doing this. And once I get to the end of the row, I'm going to chain run and turn and repeat everything we've been doing. So I will meet you once I have got our desired 28 rows. What we're doing is repeating this chaining one, going back-and-forth. Don't forget to skip a stage. And we're placing a single crochet and a double crochet into the very same stitch. So let me meet. You went back once I've got those 10 " or that training eight rows that I'm carrying your back. 6. 7. Single crochet around the edges: So this is what we have and I have those 10 ", as you can see, those 10 " or 28 rows. So remember, if 10 " is not 28 rows for you, that's absolutely fine since our tension is different. So when you get to the end of that rope, you don't want to cut the yarn. We're just going to chamberlain and turns. So what would, the next step now is cleaning up the edges. So we're gonna be going around the edges here, all the way around back here. Placing single crochets. After the single crochet is we're going to make a chain of ten to make that little hook so we can hang our wash cloth. And then we're going to go around another world placing slip stitches. So the end result of this is something like this. This was rather a bit smaller. I mentioned that 9 ", so it's just an inch smaller. But at the end, we're trying to make this little hook. And if as you can see that it has cleanup borders, this has, so we're trying to make this on this. So I'm just going to set this aside. I've already done my chain one, and now I'm going to go on the side and place a single crochet. So you're just gonna have to eyeball this and place your single crochets. The sides. Just as I'm doing. Great to be out next single crochet, and so on. So I'm going to continue placing the single crochet as I'm doing on this side. So if I'm just going to hold up my work, like so. You can see these little spaces right here. This little spaces that you can make up to be rows. Those would be all single crochets. All of those. That's going to be where we place our single crochets. If it's gonna be hard for you to notice, just make sure you have yourself 28 single crochets for each and every row on this side since we watching them one to start a new row. So just go for 28 single crushes on this side. On this side, as for this side, we take 32. We're gonna be having a total of 31 since the first single crochet does not count or the first chain does not count. So let me just get to the end and I will meet you once we're placing our single crochet into that 28th stitch. So I've got one more stitch, which is this corner right here to place that single crochet into that last one. We're going to be placing three single crochets in order to make that little curved corner. That's my first. This is my second and third. So you're gonna notice that it starts to turn into that second one. I'm just going to place a stitch marker so that I can always know that that's my corner. You want to grab that other stitch marker into that very first single crochet that you meet. I can tell it that this is the one for me. This is gonna make sense once we come back all the way around. So remember how the foundation chain we started working into the buck bumps. Yeah, we did that so that it's easier for us to place the single crochets. The throne images fixed my yard. So if I hold my work like this, you can almost tell those chains. And this is from the foundation chain into every stitch is where we're going to be placing our single crochets. And you're going to have a total of 31. That's if you change the T2. If you change the D3, I mean, if you say 34, you're going to have a total of 33. So you're just gonna have one less stitch and the foundation chain. So I'm going to continue placing my single crochets. And once we get to the end or the last one, we're also going to place three and then work our way up placing one into each row. If you have eight rows, you're also going to have 28 stitches. Once you get to the top one right here, you're going to place three single crochets in that corner to turn and then you're going to place one and you're going to come all the way to the last one. And once we get there, I will meet you right here. So that we can now finish off by making that little chain and green path around with this slip stitch Row. 7. 8. Slip stitch around the edges: So I have just gone around placing my single crochets. And as you can see, the borders are much cleaner than they were at first. So reaching now we're gonna make a chain of ten. You could just pause if I was a bit fast. But we're gonna change ten and slip stitch into that stage where we have our stitch marker to connect. And then for the rest of the row, we're just gonna work slip stitches going all the way around. And to do a slip stitch, you're just going to insert your hook into both loops of this previous single crochets. Pull through. You've got two loops and continue to insert your hook. Hook that end product through, and pull it through. Insert your hook yarn, pull it through and pull it through. Just like so. Just like that. You're gonna do that in every single stage. And the corners. We will not have to place three anymore. We're just placing one slip stitch into every stitch all the way around and wants should get to the end. And we're about to get to the chain. I will meet you there so that I can show you how we're going to work. Go for the chin. So I've made my way around and I am back. For the next part. You want to make sure you have your needle and your scissors close because we are almost at the end of our Kushi wash cloth. So into the tensions with according to slip stitch our way up. I like to go into those 22 loops at the top, just like soap. But anyway, really doesn't matter. You're going to have a total of ten slip stitches for the top part as well. So to make it easier for you, you can just go into it normally as you normally would. So that's 3,456,789.10. And then to secure this, we're just going to place unless slip stitch into that very first slip stitch that we made. A thorough chain one. And you want to leave a bit of a tail, snip it right off and pull that through. Just like that. 8. 9. Outro: So as you can see from the first one that I made, the little hook was nice and snug. So to do that with this one, we're just going to take that yarn and wrap it around a few times or until you have something nice and tight. So I'm just going to wrap it around until about five times and make a little note just to secure it. Just like so. So this is what it should look alike, but obviously we're not done. We need to weave this in. That's where we need our yarn needle. Just going to put your urine in and we're gonna leave it to the side. So I disliked to go in like so like so. And just mesh or weave my way through with the yarn needle. Once I feel like I have enough. I just pulling the eye, obviously not all of it is in. So you're just going to pull a bit, and this is going to run quite a bit heavier scissors and just put it through. So now you cannot see that tail anymore. And just like that, you've got yourself and wash cloth. That was very simple. This stitch, like I said earlier, is called the subset stitch. I forgot to leave. This one is I'm just going to show you how we do it one more time. Enter it through. They are neutral and you're just were not believe you're new to us through just like so. As you can see, one is smaller than the other and a good way it does. But not as much. If you want to block your work, you can do so and that is absolutely fine. But remember, you're going to be using this to clean yourself. So blocking, blocking, it doesn't matter. And there we go. You have quite itself a washcloth. 9. 3. Stitch Library: The stitches that we'll be using in this class are the slipknot, a chain, a slip stitch, single crochet, and a double crochet.
