Video Tutorial: Miniature Holiday Christmas Tree

This mini tree might be a nice little addition to a holiday gift.

Chain 20

SL ST in each of the next 3 chs, 3 SC in ea of the next 4 chs, 3 HDC in ea of the next 4 chs, 3 DC in ea of the next 4 chs. 3 TC in ea of the next 4 chs.

Now you will need to shape the curly in one direction. You can adjust the fullness of your tree in how tight or loose you twist it together. Tack periodically throughout the twist so your tree will keep its shape. You can sew or tack the top point of the tree to give it more shape.

You can add decorative ornaments by adding a french knot. Other ideas to embellish your tree are: Glitter, Beads, Buttons, Wooden shapes. You will be able to find these items at a Michaels Craft Store, AC Moore, Hobby Lobby and Wal-mart Craft Section.

Crochet Round and Spiral - Crochet Tip 10

Click on Image for larger view. You will be able to see a different between the two.

There are two techniques that can be done when creating a crochet circle.

Each time you do a round, you do a slip stitch, then the chain 1 to get up to the next round. If you are doing a spiral you will not be be joining.

Here are two simple ways to remember the difference between round and spiral.
1: Round = Slip Stitch to join at the beginning of each round.

2: Spiral = No Slip Stitch

When doing a spiral a marker is recommended to mark the beginning row of a spiral. I just use a scrap piece of yarn. You don't have to purchase anything fancy. Another thing that happens is that the marker will shift to the right as the beginning stitch will shift to the left.

When you are creating a doily or motif, most likely you will be working in rounds. For hats, caps, amigurumi shapes, rugs, or afghans that are continual with the same stitch, I prefer a spiral. It leaves no seam and that is what I like about the spiral. When you have a choice, the choice is up to you which technique you will be using.

Motif - Correct Pronunciation - Mo-TEEF

I make errors and this is one of those times. I let a couple of people know that I was going to try correct my error. As we all know, triangles, squares and circles can create a Motif. Well, I pronounced Motif wrong in several videos. I pronounced Amigurumi wrong earlier in the year, so it is not my first verbal error. Maybe one day Youtube will provide an audio edit so I can replace small segments of audio, while leaving the original video up. I learned a couple days ago that I was pronouncing it wrong all these years. I deeply apologize to those of you who may have learned how to say it wrong because of me. It is pronounced Mo-TEEF. I am working on remembering so the next time I do a Motif tutorial I won't say it wrong.

Crochet Galaxy Stitch - Snowflake

I don't know if this is the snowflake stitch but it looks similar. I worked several different stitch combinations for two days until I came up with this final stitch.

I have since learned that this is not the Snowflake Stitch but it is similar. I am going to give it a name after some thought.

Update 2-SEP-08: Since this stitch has the same anatomy of the star stitch and snowflake stitch, I choose not to stray far off of the theme. I came up with the galaxy stitch.

Video Tutorial: Crochet Galaxy Stitch - Snowflake

The multiple for this stitch is 3 + 3. Unfortunately the video tutorial has it incorrect. It can be done as 2 + 3 but it may turn out a little fuller.

The amout of stitches will remain the same for each row. Each center joined segment of the stitch will be offset each row, which creates the unique effect of this stitch. It reminds me of those little 6 point plastic beads.

Working on chain foundation: This stitch is worked with 3 stitches joined. It will be a combination of a single crochet and 2 half-double crochet joined. You put the hook through the next chain, draw up a loop. Leave the two loops on the hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook, skip one chain and in the next put the hook through the chain and pull through the yarn; you will have 4 loops on your hook. Wrap the yarn over your hook, Skip another chain and in the next chain insert your hook and draw through the yarn. You will have 6 loops on your hook. Draw the yarn through all 6 loops. Pull the yarn through one more time to secure the loops. Continue on by drawing your first loop through the previous center joined loop. The rest of the stitch is worked the same for the chain foundation. Half Double Crochet in the last stitch, CH 2 turn.

Row 2: You put the hook through the chain next to the hook, draw up a loop. Leave the two loops on the hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook, put the hook through the center joining of the stitch in the previous row and pull through the yarn through the loop; you will have 4 loops on your hook. Wrap the yarn over your hook, put the hook through the center joining of the stitch in the previous row and pull through the yarn and pull the yarn through the loop. You will have 6 loops on your hook. Draw the yarn through all 6 loops. Pull the yarn through one more time to secure the loops. Continue on by drawing your first loop through the previous center joined loop. Half Double Crochet in the last stitch, CH 2 turn.

Decrease - To Join or Skip - Crochet Tip 9

There are two ways to decrease on the edge of a crochet piece. You can decrease by eliminating a stitch or you can do an actual decrease by joining two stitches together. The reason for how I decrease is to make sure there are no holes. The edges are where holes usually develop in turning and decreasing. If I need to decrease at the beginning of a row, I will do my chain, then do the decrease over the next two stitches. This will fill in and not leave a hole at the edge of my piece. On occasion, such as a ripple stitch, a hole might not be a big deal. Decreasing by eliminating a stitch will be perfectly fine. There are two variations when it comes to decreasing a crochet stitch.

Crochet Chain Loops- Where Do I Put My Hook? - Crochet Tip 8

When making a beginning circle loop, many of us have probably asked ourselves, Where do we put our Hook, in & through the chains or around the chains? Both ways are correct. Method 1 is when you crochet through each individual chain. This will give you an even distribution and will limit stitch movement. Method 2 is over and around the chain loop, which will give you an uneven distribution. You will be able to evenly distribute your stitches when you are finished with your first round. I prefer method 2 in how the stitches look over the chain loop. Method 2 is what I use most of the time.

The image below shows two circles, each with a chain 8 and 16 Double Crochet. The circle to the left shows how the chain will look with a 2 double in each chain. The circle to the right shows how the project will look by crocheting over and around the chain.
Click on the image for a larger view.



When doing a motif or granny square ,we may come across a chain at some point in the motif. The decision is still up to you on crocheting through the chains or around the chains. Both are correct. The final look of your project is up to you.

Frustrating Moments of Crochet - Crochet Tip 7

Everyone has experienced difficult patterns at times. You might find yourself reading over the written instructions more than you are crocheting. You may find yourself ripping out the same row 20 times because it is not turning out as described by the instructions. In my early crochet years, I discovered that professional publications are not immune to mistakes. My suggestion is to put your work down for a day or two. Go back to it with success in your mind. This is where you will find your biggest ahhhh-haaaaa moments in crochet. The stitch that you may have been struggling with will make sense or you will find that error in the written publication. There is something about clearing your brain, that make continuing on with a difficult pattern, a lot easier to complete.

This project will be worked in rounds, turning on each round for an even distribution of the seed stitch. Turn. Mark the beginning stitch with a marker so you know where your round ends.

Round 2-12: SC, DC in each DC on the previous round. Continue around with a SC,DC (Seed Stitch) combination in each DC around. Join in beg SC, turn.

The piece will be in the shape of a pouch with an opening at the top. Lay the piece down so that you have a square. Fold the opening edges so they come together and touch each other. This will form two more points on the potholder creating the square. Knot and Sew in the beginning tail. Knot and Sew seam shut and sew in all tails.

Crochet Gauge

The designer of a pattern, will create a unique gauge by default, to their specification just by the yarn and hook they choose. Gauge is also done by individual tension. Tension is just how tight or loose you hold your yarn/thread while you are crocheting. We can even add in an amount of guesstimating to figuring gauge. Even if you use the exact same supplies recommended by the pattern, the gauge could be off due to the unique tension of each individual. The designer has done the hard part by creating and shaping the pattern. All you need to do is figure your gauge and then work it in to the pattern.

Another thing to keep in mind when creating a project is to purchase enough yarn/thread for your project. It is better to have to much yarn/thread than not enough.

I know gauge can seem a big confusing. Gauge is a measurement between a beginning point and ending point. The best way to determine your unique gauge is to crochet a swatch of the pattern stitches that you will be using in the pattern. If you are making your project out of the shell stitch, then create your swatch out of the shell stitch. This is checking to see how many stitches you are going to have between a beginning and ending measurement, for the yarn and hook you are using. You can crochet a 4x4" or 6x6" swatch to get a fair estimate of the stitch size. It does not need to be fancy or very big.

An example will be if you have a sweater pattern that you want to crochet. It calls for 4-Ply yarn with an "H" crochet hook. You have some really pretty 3-ply yarn that you want to use with an "F" hook. It will take more stitches across with 3-ply yarn and "F" hook, since 3-ply yarn and "F" hook are smaller. You need to determine how many stitches you will need between the measurements that the pattern recommends. You can always adjust ending rows at any time. If you don't get your width correct in the beginning, you will be ripping or very dissapointed because your sweater does not fit correctly.

The images below show a swatch that I crocheted. The bottom section of the swatch is done with a G crochet hook, 18 double crochet and is approximately 5" wide. The top section is crocheted with an N crochet hook, 18 double crochet and is approximately 7-1/4" wide. Just by that example alone you can see the width change in size by using a different crochet hook. The gauge changed quite a bit, when I changed the hook size.


What we want to do is determine how many stitches we will need if we are making something 10" wide with each hook. In the image on the left, we can see that there are 4 stitches in an inch with the G hook. There are 3 stitches per inch with the N hook. 10 x 4=40 stitches(G hook); 10 x 3 = 30 stitches (N hook). You may feel you need a few more or a few less stitches in your 10" example. That is where guesstimating will play a role. There are 6 crochet hook sizes between the example hooks that I used. You may find that with some hooks you will have a 3-1/2 stitches per inch. You may even have 3-3/4 stitches per inch. You will need to adjust accordingly since you are not able to crochet half of a stitch or 3/4 of a stitch.

You measure the same for your rows which are a little more forgiving to adjustment. In the image to the right you will see that there are 2 rows per inch for the G hook which will give us 20 rows in 10". The N hook has about 1-1/2 rows per inch. Once again will be some guesstimating since we are unable to make half of a row. It would be a fair estimate that there will be 15 rows in 10" for the N hook.

To put it simply, I am figuring how stitches are in an inch. How many rows are in an inch. How may stitches will be in 10" of width? How may rows will be in 10" of length. Gauge is something that only you can determine yourself.

Uneven Edges - Chain 3 VS Chain 2 - Crochet Tip 6

It is normal to have an uneven edge with the chain 3 on the edge of a small square or an afghan. It may look lumpy, bumpy and crooked. Chain 3's may even add fullness so the sides of your afghan so they are longer than the center section of your piece. You may also find a larger gap next to the chain 3 in a crochet circle so it is not just edges that are affected by the additional fullness that the chain 3 may add.


This image shows two swatches, both crocheted with an "I" crochet hook, 8 double crochet each. The left swatch is done with the chain 3. The right swatch is done with the chain 2. Even though the measurements are close, you can see the difference in how the gaps will close up by using a chain 2 instead of a chain 3. A chain 2 will improve the final outcome of wavy edges.

There are a couple of things you can do to make edges more even or to close the gap of a circle. You can crochet a tighter chain 3 if you feel it is necessary to use a chain 3. You can also replace the chain 3 with a chain 2. The chain 2 in place of the chain 3 is a great way to reduce full edges. I have found that a chain 2 will work better and pull the edge snug, tight and even. To replace the chain 3 all you do is count your chain 2 as your first double crochet. When you get back to your other side, you do your last crochet in your previous chain 2. The objective is to eliminate the gaps and holes that the extra chain will cause.


This will also work for the half double crochet if you find that you have wavy edges or gaps in your rounds and edges. Instead of starting off with a chain 2, do a chain 1. The chain 1 will not count as your first stitch. It will just be the step to your first half double crochet allowing more control of potential wavy edges.

Any pattern is just a guide to creating a crochet piece. In the end, you are the one creating the finished project. You don't have to follow the exact instructions every time.
