Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to another video.
And in this video I am very excited to present to you on how to crochet something a little
bit more advanced because I feel like the past more videos, the past videos that I have
been making, I have been mainly just showing you guys the absolute basics, how to do a
magic ring, the single crochet, how to work around, rows, blah, blah, blah.
And so in this video we're going to delve into actual projects and in this video you're
going to be learning how to do the triple crochet stitch as we make a scrunchie.
That's what I'll be showing you how to make today. These things are super cute and
really easy to make. I mean they're very quick and like if you're if you have a
market or something like a crochet market these are like I think they're
pretty good sellers. I mean I haven't put them on my market but I feel like
they would because they're like small things and they're super easy to
crochet so you can do like a bunch of them at once and have a lot more to add
into your market. So I'm going to show you how to do that today. All you will be
needing is yarn, yarn of your desired size and a hook obviously which needs to
be the appropriate size of your yarn and a hair tie. That is that is all that
you'll be needing and also scissors towards the end but that's just to cut
the yarn once we are done. So the first thing we will be doing is putting
our hook into the hair tie. You could also use a rubber band but I feel like rubber
bands aren't that secure because in the heat they easily they easily snap or
melt or it's just like it's easy it's faster for them to get worn out so as
your hook is inside of this you'll grab your yarn sort of fold it like this in
your fingers and then let your hook grab it pull it under pull under the
hair tie and I'm going to take both of these strands right here both of them and
pull through that loop that you have right here. So there we have the first
stitch that sort of counts as a chain and what we will doing is now we will
just be taking our long strand of yarn we'll be holding our yarn like this put
it over your your middle finger and your ring finger and wrap it around your
index twice and there we have it. So now we will going into the hair tie again
from out from closest to you out this way and make grab the yarn and make a
single crochet. Now do another one you also want to be going not just under
the hair tie but also under this yarn tail end right here so you're going to be
going under both of those once again grab the yarn pull it up like this and I'm
sorry and grab the yarn again and pull through those two there I'm going to show
you guys one more time how to do this go under your rubber band or hair tie grab
the yarn come up grab this yarn and pull through both of them it might be a
tricky the first couple stitches because you're working with a hair tie which is
a little bit weird for beginners might be a little bit odd let me just do this one
more time just to present this to you guys go under grab your yarn pull it
up and pull through those two remaining loops on your hook and there you have
your single crochets and you want to be doing those single crochets all the way
around this hair tie until you get well onto the end alright so we're just
going to keep doing those you don't want to do too many single crochets you do
you just want to do right until you hit the end and then we will slip stitch
into the beginning stitch if you guys don't know what a slip stitch is don't
worry I'll walk you through the rest of it and I will meet you once I have done
all of my single crochets ladies and gentlemen so I have now finished all of
my single crochets around this hair tie it should look something like this also
if you're seeing crochet twist like this like it was for me and you just want all
of these see it kind of looks like a braid it should like sort of like look
like a braid on the outside of the hair tie so if the braid starts twisting just
sort of twist it back into shape like that so you have all of the the whole
they're called stitches but like have the whole braid facing outside of the
hair tie and now that you have done that you want to go into the first
stitch or aka braid you want to go in there with your hook what we're gonna do
is do a stitch a slip stitch so you're gonna grab your yarn and usually with
a single crochet you just grab the yarn and pull through both those loops but
you don't want to do that for a slip stitch for a slip stitch you don't grab
any yarn you just want to take that stitch that's already on your hook right
here and just let it let it pull through the other one there that is your
slip stitch right there and so now what you're going to do what you're going to
be what you're gonna want to do is make three chains one two three and now we're
gonna do what's called a triple crochet so I haven't taught you guys how to do
this yet and so your skills will be up level level up you know so we're gonna
wrap our hook around the yarn twice like this let me do that again just as
presentation you're gonna put your hook in front of the yarn wrap it around like
this and do that one more time so now you have like a candy cane you have two
loops around your yarn now you're gonna go into the same stitch they did your
chains into you're gonna go in there go to the back of your arm grab it come
up and now you're gonna grab your yarn and only go through two loops on
your hook you can see that you have four loops on your hook right now and you're
gonna grab the yarn and only go through two of them the first two now you have
three left you're gonna go through two of those now you only have two remaining
you're gonna pull through those remaining two and so for the entire round
and each stitch we will do three three triple crochets some people call them
trouble crochets but I feel like triple crochets is the more common term so
I'll be using that in this video and the tree the three chains they count as one
triple crochet so I'll have to do one more in this stitch pull through two pull
through two pull through two and there I have my first cluster that's what you
call a cluster when you have three in the same stitch I'm gonna go into the
next stitch first wrap your yarn around twice go into the next stitch grab
your yarn pull it up pull through two loops pull through two more and pull
through the last two I'm gonna do that two more times so they have three into
that stitch pull through two pull through two pull through two do that one more
time into the same stitch pull through two pull through two pull through two and
I have three single three triple crochet into this stitch three triple
crochet in this stitch and I go and do put three triple crochet into each stitch
stitch of the whole round. Since there are not increases, there are three triple crochets
into the same stitch. That's what makes this wavy curl into your scrunchie, which makes
the signature look of a scrunchie. That's how it should be turning out. I will just
be doing that. Let me just do one more stitch for you guys as presentation. Wrap your
hook around the yarn, go into the next stitch, pull through two, pull through two,
pull through two. Wrap your hook around it twice, go into that same stitch. I have
now made two triple crochets into the same stitch. Let me do one more. And there
we go. So we're just going to be doing that for the whole round until you've
gotten to the last stitch and I'll see you then. Okay ladies and
gentlemen, I have now finished all of my triple crochets, three triple crochets in
each stitch. It's looking so cute. I love how it's turning out. I was actually kind
of just going to make this like just as demonstration and unravel my work just
so I can make this video because like we use this hair tie but like now that I've
made it it's looking so cute. I just want to keep it for myself. So now we
have gotten to the end stitch. You can see this like a little gap between these
two. We're going to do the exact same thing as we did last round when we
finished the round of single crochets. You're just going to go into this stitch
and make a slip stitch. So just to present you guys again, you're just
going to grab the yarn and instead of grabbing yarn and pulling through
both of these loops, you're just going to take this loop that you have on your
hook and let it pull through the other one. Alright and now once you've
gotten that far you're just going to want to take your scissors, cut the
yarn about like this long and then weave in your ends with the darning needle. Just
sort of come in and out with your darning needle and there you have it. Honestly I
just want to keep this. It's looking so adorable. I love it. So that was pretty
much the end of the tutorial guys. Thank you so much for watching. I hope this
was very easy to follow. This was a very easy pattern, a very easy thing to do
and I hope you guys liked it. Anyway I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I
hope yours turned out as nice as mine did. At least I'd love how much this turned out
and that all of your friends would give you endless compliments. I'm kidding. So
yeah I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I'll see you guys in the next one. Bye!
