DIY Square Stitch Basics : How To! ¦ The Corner of Craft

I received a request on one of my Instagram pictures for a tutorial on a charm I've made! I've want to fulfill this request, but first I needed to make this video, explaining the basics of square stitch, including how to start, finish, increase and decrease! I don't know what happened to the music in the middle of the video! Sorry :/ I'm looking into getting a new video editor, I promise!

How do you increase more than one bead? I would love to see a tutorial on the mushroom!

[haydenwarren]

This is exactly what ive been looking for thank you. my tip is to practice with pearler beads and thick thread lol

[bluejay]

Hi Hanna I was wondering if you could do a little tutorial where you are actually following a pattern to show us the increases, for some reason I am still not getting this :(. Thanks

[WeirdOmens]

Your work & videos are amazing thanks so much for doing this

[spinnerettetee]

Thank you for the link on where you get your beads. I ordered some awesome 15/0 neon seed beads. I could not believe the prices. Here in the states they are pretty pricey. I don't mind the shipping. I definitely can't wait. I love your channel. :D

Hi there, how are you? 😊 Hope you are doing well!

I'm brand new to this and I was wondering how do you attach the jump ring onto the top of them(or side like on the strawberries)?

This is really inspiring! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

I really want to try this but the delicate beads are kind of expensive where I live, can I use this technique with usual bead like the one she used as the stopper?

[robertagonzales]

If you have a graph paper pattern and want to change it from square stitch to brick stitch how would you be able to do that? Or could you be able to?

[adamarisjaime]

I loved you tutorial it was so easy to follow, but can you do a tutorial on the peyote stitch

[robertagonzales]

How do you get a jump ring threw when your beading is to tight?

[verondibit]

hi, im a bit confuse with the increasing, could u please make another tutorial that show different color & please make it clear, what if the pattern need 2 beads increase? thanks..

[valfultz]

It’s 1:52 in the am. I originally set out to search for a colorful Brickstitch pattern for my perlers but mostly come up with cross stitch patterns. And you know it’s totally two different stitches n two different formats. Where can I go to find a colorful Brickstitch pattern that I can incorporate about 40 different shades of colors like in the cross stitch, but just Brickstitch.?

[chin_minh]

can we use round beads instead of perler beads?

[Anna-qwerty]

Hi, when making these, do threads change the stiffness of these? Like fireline will make it stiff and suitable for keychains while others don't? I'm about to buy thread and want to avoid fireline since it's expensive, unless it's the most suitable for what you made. What thread would you recommend for stiffer charms like what you made, but not that expensive?

[sowelu]

Hannah, I know you always use delicas, but they are expensive when you're on a tight budget. I'm using 11/0 seed beads. Do you have any suggestions for me?

[shaunaanderson]

Hello there how are you I hope your doing wonderful. I really enjoy your crafting videos. I was hoping you would do a tutorial on how to make the adorable cupcake you were using as an example in this video Also I was wondering if you could explain how to make your own pattern for square stitch? Thanks so much.

[bryozoedi]

Love your videos very much! Watching them has motivated me to start crafting again after a dark period of doing nothing but work and Netflix. Was wondering (don't know if you've answered this before--probably have, in that case, sorry for the repeated question) if maybe you could do a video about how to follow and/or make a brick stitch ~written~ pattern. In one of your vids, you have a link to a blank peyote pattern graph and I found on the internet blank patterns for brick stitch and looms. I have the loom one figured out but I'm a bit lost when it comes to brick stitch. Don't know where to begin or does it not matter?
