To increase width add chains in multiples of 7.

** - repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed
[ ] - repeat instructions within parenthesis as a set as many times as directed
ch - chain
st - stitch
sc - single crochet (UK - double crochet)

Hey all, how was your week? Mine went pretty fast. I'm pretty excited to say that the past one and half months had been very busy for me. My YouTube channel keeps me quite occupied throughout the day and I'm not complaining. Starting a channel had been on my mind for over a year but I was quite skeptical. I thought that I did not have enough skills on the technical side as well as my crochet side. Had it not been for my son's encouragement I wouldn't have ventured into it. My son walked me through the entire process of editing and uploading and all other necessary technicalities and still assists me whenever I'm stuck.
I upload at least 2 videos per week and if you haven't visited my channel go ahead and have a look and please subscribe. Click here to visit my channel.

I have a new video tutorial on how to crochet a lace square motif which you can use to make larger projects such as doilies, tablecloths, bedspreads or pillow cases. It is a 2 part video, in part 1 I show you how to make the square and in part 2 I show you how to join these squares together to make anything you wish and also work a simple edging.
The square is crocheted using fingering weight yarn and crochet hook size C2/2.75 mm and the finished square measures 11 cm x 11 cm
My first big project when I learnt to crochet was a filet crochet table cloth. It was very easy as you use only chains and double crochet stitches. Then I slowly progressed to more advanced stitches and techniques and filet crochet took a back seat. Lately I had been seeing a few filet crochet bags on Pinterest and I wanted one for me too. So I designed this very simple bag and I'm so much in love with this design that I'm considering making a pullover using this pattern.
This pattern is written using standard American terms.
Materials:
300 yards (275 meters) sport weight yarn
D/3.25 mm crochet hook

I have a new stitch pattern tutorial available in my YouTube channel. It's an easy 2 row repeat pattern and can be stitched using a single color or multiple colors. Use any yarn and a suitable hook
puff st - 4 dc worked together in same space. (yarn over hook, insert hook and pull yarn) 4 times, yarn over and pull yarn through 8 loops on hook, yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops
Row 1: dc in the 6th ch from hook, ch 1, dc in the 4th ch (forms and X with a ch-sp between), **skip next 2 ch, dc in next ch, ch 1, dc in the 1st skipped ch** Repeat from ** to ** across, dc in last ch. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 3, puff st in the next ch-1 space between X, **ch 1, puff st in next ch-1 space** Repeat from ** to ** across, dc in last st. Turn.
Row 3: Ch 3, **dc in the space after puff st, ch 1, dc in the space before puff st** Repeat from ** to ** across, dc in last st. Turn.
Hi, the cluster V stitch pattern is my latest video tutorial. I'm in love with this stitch. It's so easy and looks so beautiful. I really want to make something using this pattern but I haven't decided what, may be a blanket in multiple colors. It would be fun to make.
To make this stitch, make chains in multiples of 3 + 1.
Row 1: (cluster, ch 1, cluster) in the 5th ch from hook (the skipped chains will count as a dc and ch 1), **skip 2 ch, (cluster, ch 1, cluster) in next ch** Repeat from ** to ** across until you have 2 ch left, skip next ch, dc in last ch. Turn.
If you are using a new color, pull the new color through the loop of the last st before turning. Tighten the loop and start working using the new color. Cut off the previous color.
Row 2: Ch 3, (cluster, ch 1, cluster) in each ch-1 space across, dc in last st. Turn.
Repeat row 2 until you reach your desired height.
The cluster stitch here is worked slightly differently.
Cluster - (Yarn over, insert hook into chain and pull yarn) 3 times, yarn over and pull through 6 loops on hook, yarn over and pull through the remaining 2 loops
In my latest video I teach you how to crochet the Tunisian knit stitch. It's a basic Tunisian crochet stitch. To learn this technique it's enough if you know how to crochet basic stitches. I also show you how to make this sling bag using the Tunisian knit stitch.
