Thank you for explaining increase and decrease so clearly.

EXCELLENT beginner video! I have been trying to find good beginner videos to show how to do various crochet stitches and so many go too fast for the people I am trying to help learn. This one is great!!!

[SaintBree]

I couldn't understand all other videos I watched nor my mom explaining it to me. You made it make sense, thank you!

[liz.o]

So glad I found you! I was an avid crocheter until I had kids and didn’t have time! Thanks for the refresher!!

[patriciajones]

Thank you for the clarity of your demo!! Most videos either don’t show work well enough-fingers in the way, or go much too fast! 😘🤗💜☮️

Thank you! Super easy and super helpful tip for a beginner like me to catch up and understand!

[rxchxl]

Could you please show how to change from an increase/decrease back to a normal single crochet and vice versa, and which stitch is the 'first stitch' in the round when you start with an increase or a decrease? My stitch count always ends up wrong for some reason!

[pearlsim]

Can you explain how to calculate the # of stitchs to increase and # of stitches to crochet before each increase?

[cookingonfingertips]
