Welcome back to the Crochet Crowd and Yarnspirations.com.
I'm your host, Mikey.
A fun-filled collection of pillows for your entire English alphabet and numbers from 0-9.
Today's video will be covering the number or letter stated in the video title.
These 13 inch, 3 dimensional pillows are not only adorable for the kid's room, they can
also serve as an educational resource in the classroom.
Imagine an entire class filled with each letter and number, Imagine the colours of each of
them being different to illustrate learning colours,
These are just awesome.
On screen now is the comprehensive menu of what today's tutorial is all about.
Note the minute marker of each chapter and if you're looking for something specific,
feel free to fast forward ahead to the time stated on screen.
In Chapter number 1, we're gonna learn how the pillows are formed.
In Chapter 2 we're gonna understand the pattern symbols.
In Chapter number 3, we're gonna get a general overview of how to read the patterns,
and I'm gonna try to make your life a lot easier.
And finally, in Chapter 4, we're gonna walk through the number or letter indicated in
the video title.
For your success, the only way to learn how to do these projects are to know how to read
the diagrams.
Without further ado, if you're still here, let's move on to Chapter 1 and learn how the
pillows are formed.
In Chapter number 1 we're going to look at the pattern requirements for the hook and
yarn,
We're also gonna cover what is done to form the pillow,
and I will be explaining the gussets that create the three-dimensional look and cover
the stuffing process.
So, let's take a quick look at this pattern,
and what we have is 16 pages and see the entire alphabet and also all the numbers that you
need from 0-9.
Inside, everything is all of the diagram format that you see and all of the tips that are
used within each of the number or letter that is used.
Today, you're going to need a size 'F' crochet hook, a 3.75 mm,
and each one of the letters consists of two Caron Simply Soft yarn balls.
Now, you'll notice that that hook is quite small and that's because it's going to give
you a nice, tight look when you're going to construct these as well.
So, let's take a further look into this pattern because there's a lot of great things in this
pattern.
So inside this pattern, you have to follow the actual diagrams that are available to
you.
So some of these patterns are more complex than others, depending on the shaping
and each one of the numbers or the letters are 13 inches tall.
So that means you can spell out words, you can use numbers with it as well, and each
one of the letters
or numbers will be the same height as the other.
The only thing that's really and truly written out is the main gusset area, which I'll talk
about
and then it has the information for finishing it up.
So this is the only place where there is actually a lot of words,
and the rest of it is all just in diagram format that we'll cover later on in this tutorial.
So what we have to do, is that we have to construct our three-dimensional look idea.
So let me show you what this looks like, in a bigger photo.
So here's what it looks like as a three-dimensional pillow, so what you have here, you have the
front face, like so.
You need to create two of those, so one is the front face, one is the back face.
And then you need to create a gusset which is completely following on the outside here.
So if there's any interiors like this, then you have to create a separate gusset for that
area,
and how do you know the size?
Well each one of the stitches that goes all the way across and up through the rows is
equal to one single crochet.
So you're going to single crochet these gussets into position as you go along in order to
do it.
So because there's two sides of it, you've got a front 'B' and a back 'B', you're going
to complete all your gussets on the one 'B' first,
And then you're gonna start stuffing it when you've got the second 'B' to place on top,
so you'll
stuff as you go when you're placing everything into position.
So this is the gussets and we'll cover those a little bit later as well,
So let's take a look at the letter itself and let's just examine that quickly.
So this is a quick example of the letter 'A'.
I'll explain why there is a colour difference here,
and I'll explain how that works within the pattern as we go through there.
So to make the letter 'A' you'll need to make two of these,
and then you'll need to make the gusset, and the gusset is what appears in between.
So just looking at the gusset right here.
This is a gusset here, and so when you're ready to go,
you would just then single crochet these all into position as you go.
So let me show you how to put on a gusset.
So once your gusset goes all the way around, you're gonna want to eye it out as close as
you can.
Now what I would recommend is that you put your gusset in, but don't finish off your
gusset,
because you may have to add on extra rows or you may have to take any out, if you've
gone too far.
So once you start laying everything into position, it gets really better off to know exactly
how long you want to go.
So each one of the rows, equals a single crochet as you work your way up or down this thing.
Okay, and when you're going along edges, where you see stitches, each one is a stitch when
you go to attach.
So for your gussets, not only are you gonna to need an outside gusset,
but you also need an inside, so if you have a shorter one like this, you have to make
one for that.
So let's learn how to attach your gusset.
And so the gusset colour and the 'A' should be the same colour and the yarn
that you're going to use to attach should also be the same colour.
So, what you're gonna do, is that you're going to go and you want to attach it to your project
where it's not obvious to have a seam line, because this gusset's going to come all the
way around and join here
so, you'll have to sew that together later.
So, what you need to do is you need to inset your hook, into the outside stitch, like so.
And, you're just gonna match it to a stitch on your 'A'.
So the right side's facing up from me, so it's the side that you'll be looking at.
And you want to join with a slip stitch, chain one and single crochet into the same spot.
So each one of the rows are going to equal each other as you go.
So you just move down the row on the gusset, and then just straight across and into the
'A',
Ok, and it equals and then you just single crochet it all together.
And you're just going to follow it all the way round.
So when you get to a corner,
which I'll get there in just a moment, so let me get there,
so, I'm gonna quickly match them, you cannot stuff at this point, because you don't have
your second
'A' ready to go, you're only attaching to one of the 'A's so far,
so you don't have to worry about your stuffing at this moment.
And as soon as you get to a corner, you begin to turn the corner just naturally.
So you don't have to add on extra stitches, just going in and just going into the corner
here,
And just follow it around, so now the 'A' is turned, here
so then you're just going to continue with your gusset and go along the stitch work
and because it's flat and normal, you're just gonna go and follow the stitches.
So each one of the rows still equals the spacing of the single crochets that you have on the
other side,
So, you can see, this just naturally kind of turned and this is what makes it bubble
look,
when you're looking at these pillows.
So, you started off, when you look at it from this point of view,
you came and you just naturally turned and then you'll come again and then you'll naturally
turn and you'll
create a box shape, like so.
So, the second 'A', once you're ready for it, you're just gonna start in the same spot
and you're going to attach,
and then you're gonna stuff as you go.
They say to stuff, at a certain point to leave a gap.
The problem is, is that if you have to stuff way over here,
how do you get your hands all through there and make it nice and even?
It's easier to stuff as you go.
So this is how you attach your gussets and you need to attach gussets exactly where everything
there is so,
some of the letters, like the letter 'C' has nothing interior,
so it's just a matter of following the 'C' and the 'F' is the same way.
But a 'Q' would then have a hole in the middle, right?
And so would an 'O' and a 'P' and all of that.
So you just want to watch and make gussets for anywhere that you need to fill it in,
in order to create the shapes.
So when you go to look at the pattern, like so, you see that 'B' needs an interior gusset,
two of them, 'A' only needs one, and then everything else is just a matter of following
it all the way around.
So, without further ado, let's go on and move onto Chapter number 2.
Welcome to chapter number 2.
In this chapter, I'm gonna cover all the symbols that can be found within the diagrams.
Some of the patterns are not as complex as others for shaping,
so not all symbols may be used in each one of the patterns.
So, here's a close-up look of the stitch key and a diagram.
So all of the letters and numbers are the same as far as it's mostly all just, it is
all just single crochets.
And the only difference is that it changes on the edges in order to create the tilting
action.
You'll notice that all of the letters have a vertical, straight up, and a horizontal,
straight across.
So no matter what angle any of the letters are on, they'll always stay parallel to each
other.
And so therefore, if it was an 'X' you'll never see that these stitches are turned sideways
in order to
create its way up.
So, one side will always be decreasing if it's leaning in this direction,
the other side will be increasing to create that lean.
So in the stitches that you see here, there are symbols.
So if it's an oval shape like this, this is a chain and you'll see that every time you
chain up to start a row
when it says chain one and single crochet in the stitches, then that's a chain.
You'll also see it when you're adding chains like this, this is
a builder chain, which I'll talk about in a little bit, but anytime you have to do chain
work, it's represented by that.
Now a slip stitch is whenever you go to join anything, so this particular 'A' has nothing
like that,
as far as slip stitching to join anything, there isn't one on here but some of them have
a slip stitch in order to get you to move stitches if you have to,
and we'll explain those if you hit a letter that I will teach later.
The plus sign like so, is a single crochet and you can see that it's all just consistent.
And you'll also see it's consistent in the actual thickness of each one of the letters
as well and as well as the numbers.
So there's different kinds of single crochet increases or decreases.
And so, this one here, this is two single crochets but they have the same top,
so two single crochets are going to come together, so it's 'single crochet two together'
and so whenever you see that, you're decreasing.
So, let's just find out where that is.
So here is an example, right here.
You can see these two stitches right here are becoming one by doing a together decrease,
like this.
You can also see that two plus signs can have the same base, okay and that goes up - that's
an increase.
So, you can see that's going on the outside, so whenever you have to
increase stitches, you'll see that there's two plus signs into the same stitch.
You'll also see what appears to be a chain, like these, these two over here.
So this is just whenever you have to start a row, so let's take a look over here on row
number 5.
You can see that it is a chain, and then it looks like this, so it's a chain and two plus
signs into the same one,
so you'll chaining one and then two single crochets into the same stitch, that's what
that is.
This one over here, is a decrease so it's a chain one and then the two stitches become
one.
So you can see that right over here,
Okay, so at line number 6.
So chain one and these two stitches are becoming one with this symbol.
So these are what you're going to run in to,
and let's talk about the builder chains, because the builder chains are what really matter
on these.
So welcome to the letter 'F'.
Now the letter 'F' is a prime example of having a builder chain but there's
other letters and numbers that have builder chains as well.
So what happens is that you're gonna follow this pattern straight up and then all of a
sudden,
row number 22 you have to single crochet yourself across.
The problem is that you can't just single crochet here, because there's nothing to single
crochet to!
So, in this particular instance it tells you at a certain point, at the end of row 21 and
row 41 to drop the loop to be picked up later.
And then it says 'add a separate yarn strand' okay, and chain 26 and fasten off.
So what it's telling you here, is that you have to chain a set number of stitches,
so you attach and just instantly chain and then fasten off.
And it seems kinda silly, but the reality is, is that you can't just continue this line
without something underneath.
So this is a builder chain, in order for you to continue along,
so you'll see that along the top of the 'F' but you'll also see it on certain other letters.
And numbers and you'll see it in certain instances, like this.
So, whenever there's instructions that match something, so for example, you see that there's
a notation,
on the outsides of the letter or the number, you'll see that it will match the actual instruction.
So what we have here, is the number '0'.
And what we have here is that whenever there's a specific instruction, like
here, it matches up here and so,
this one here is kind of a really interesting one because the fact is, it has a builder
chain but the builder chains
are so small, and so it says 'with number 2, add a
separate yarn strand in the first single crochet of row two, chain 1 and fasten off.'
You are adding just the one chain here, just to fasten off and unfortunately, you need
it in order to build yourself out,
in order to make all this work.
So, it's one of those items that you have to include that in, in order to keep the letter
being consistent and
equal with each other.
So, these are the builder chains and whenever we use them in a letter, that is required.
So, without further ado, let me show you exactly what the stitches are for when you're going
to look at the symbols.
So let's give you a demonstration of the stitches and things that you'll need to know.
Whenever you're attaching a new section of yarn to it, in order to build up the blocking
area, you have to then attach a new section of yarn.
So you'll just insert it into the very first stitch, this is just a rough example of how
to do it,
and all you're gonna do is attach it with a slip stitch and then begin.
So, then you'll chain one and single crochet.
But, what I want you to do is look for this strand,
that is the ending strand, and crochet right up over the top of it when you go to single
crochet and you can bury
that in as you go and then you'll never see it at the end, okay?
So this is how to bury in your yarn whenever you're doing new sections, so most of the
letters and the numbers
have blocks of yarn in order to complete it.
So if you do it this way, you'll never see where you stopped and started
and your letter will look all consistent and equal as if it's one strand, even though it's
made up of maybe a few.
So that's how you would bury your yarn and once you're satisfied with that, you can simply
just cut the end,
because you buried it long enough that you'll never see where you stopped or started on
either side of the project.
Just like so, so that's how you do that.
Let's move along and let's start going through that stitch key.
So, if it says to chain with the oval, it just means chain, so you're yarning over and
pulling through.
So if you have more than one chain you just yarn over and pull through, so it's just a
chain so that's that oval that you have.
So, if you have a slip stitch, what happens with that one, let's concentrate on that,
so if you have a slip stitch
all you're gonna do is you attach your yarn like I just showed you here, that was kind
of a slip stitch.
But if you have to slip stitch, let me just show you a new section here, so if you have
to slip stitch,
you just go into the stitch, pull through and through.
Okay?
So it's just through and through, don't mind that chain that I just started with.
So let's slip stitch if it's asked you to do it, if you're attaching new yarn or anything
like that,
You just go into the stitch, pull through and through.
Okay?
So that's a slip stitch.
So, let's cover on how to do a single crochet.
So, it would be when you start up anything,
it'd be chain one and one single crochet into the same one.
So you're going in, pull through and pull through two.
So, in, pull through and pull through two.
In, pull through and pull through two.
And that is your single crochet, when you're going to do that.
So, let's cover doing two single crochets into the same stitch, okay?
So let's just turn our work.
So, chain one.
And if it asks you to do two single crochets into the same stitch, so I chain one first
and you're just gonna put two single crochets into the same stitch.
So then those two stitches just became or
are sitting into the same stitch.
And you move along
Like that.
Okay?
So, these only appear on the edging.
They never appear on the interior of any of the letters or the numbers, which makes it
nice and easy.
So, if you have it on the outside of the letter, okay?
On the other side, it's just a matter of just putting two into the same one.
Just like that.
So let's turn our work and review on how to do two together.
So, if it tells you to chain up one and then put the first two together,
you just insert your hook into the first stitch, pull through, and then go to the next stitch,
pull through, and then pull through all three loops.
So those two stitches just became one.
So then you'll move across your number.
There's a couple of numbers where it appears right in the middle of the work, and I'll
point those out if I hit those.
I know the letter 'A' has it, and I'll point that out as we go.
So
that's how you do those together.
So that's it for the stitch key.
We have a chain, we have a slip stitch, a single crochet, single crochet two together,
and we also put two single crochets into the same one.
That's all you need to know when it comes to doing any of these patterns.
So let's take a look at these patterns.
I have the letter 'A' as my example today.
And you'll notice that there are different colors of single crochets that are here.
This is really helping you to indicate how this pattern is being put together.
So what I want you to do is, I want you to visualize the letter being constructed from
the bottom up.
All of them are constructed starting at the bottom, working their way to the top of the
letter or the number.
So, what you're going to notice is that you're going to start building, and this particular
one says start on the right leg.
So it says to start over here and look, what happens here is we have to go all the way
over here.
But if you're only working in here, what happens is you have to then stop at a certain point
and start the left leg, and then there's a builder chain right here.
So, in order to continue this same yarn up here, all of this has to be done first.
So, and then you carry up.
And then once you have that done, you'll notice that it will still continue to carry up here
because it will get to the point where you'll run into this area in the middle.
So, at a certain point, you're gonna have this constructed, then you're gonna need to
do this,
then you carry it up and you get all the way to here.
You're then going to then start here and build your way up.
And then just carry on over top, just like so.
So if I look at my 'A' from a real point of view, I constructed it just like it was showing
in the actual diagram, so let me show that to you now.
So, the 'A' was constructed, and I started off here...
This is a stitch marker and I'll explain that more in a moment.
But you can see it's the same yarn, and then I got to here and I had to stop
because there's no way that I can take this yarn this way without having something underneath
it first.
So what happens is, I get to this point and I stop, as per the instructions,
and then I started up on this here and I worked my way across.
And then I stopped.
So once this was constructed across, I was able to pick up my yarn and go all the way
across, like so
and being able to complete.
And eventually I get to a certain height that I have to stop,
and this same yarn then travels up this side,
at this point, okay?
So then what happens is at this moment in the instructions, I've got this complete,
I've got all this complete, and all of this section is now missing.
So then I have to start up here and work my way, as per the diagram,
and once I get to a certain point, I then can travel that yarn all the way across in
order to finish it to the top.
So when I cross-compare this right here, I started here, and I stopped.
I started this section and got myself across, and then I carried up, see?
You see that?
And then I got to here.
I then picked this up, and you see this is the same color of blue?
So, it's the same yarn strand that did this.
So whenever we have different kinds of colors, it means that we're picking up yarn and continuing.
Here's the thing.
You gotta watch that right side of the project.
So the reason why you're having to watch that right side of the project is that you don't
want any of these joins to be out of sync with each other
so you have to maintain that.
So here's my tip for you, this will save your life a lot, in crochet.
It really will.
So let me tell you a little bit about that.
So when I started my crochet project.
I put a brown stitch marker right as soon as I finished the first row here.
So you can see that it's brown.
So this tells me that any time that I see this brown stitch marker
I'm looking at the right side of the project.
So I'm looking at the side I'm supposed to look at.
So if it happens to turn over
and the brown side is over here I know that it's
not in sync with the pattern, that I'm looking at the reverse 'A'.
Now the 'A' it doesn't really matter if it's forward or backward?
Not really.
But there's certain letters like 'G' and 'P' and 'F'
and all those if you flipped them upside down it matters.
So you wanna keep an eye on your pattern in order
to knowing it's the right side or the wrong side.
So just to verify that I put in a pink stitch marker
when I did the brown.
Because the problem is, is that even though you get this
section done at a certain point in the pattern,
this section here you're just, it's still not attached to anything,
so you don't know what is right side and what's wrong side.
So when I started that I said I put a pink stitch marker
right in the section so that I knew that if this section
turned over at point I knew that I was looking at the wrong side.
So I went to go attach this
as I went across I made sure yarn here
matched here and this one here matched.
So then when I came straight across that I
knew that these letters were facing the right direction
because then that make that stitch that is going
to attach everything be in line and look the same.
If you do the wrong stitch when you're doing the
attaching you will see a gaping space that will appear
it will be very obvious.
So when you're looking at this particular diagram.
Even though your 'A' will be the same color
it'll all stay in sync with each other
but you still have to keep an eye on what's on your right side
and your wrong side for doing these kinds of things.
On other letters 'L', it's a very straight shot so you can
see it starts off here.
There's only one set of instructions and
all of a sudden you're just getting a very easy.
So this kind of letter is very simple.
It's the same yarn strand
so once you get to a certain point you just stop and
you start working you way up.
So other
letters are more complicated than others.
So a 'T' for example has a builder chain.
So even though you started up here you can't go
equally on both sided here unless that there's a, um,
a builder chain.
You can see that there's a
section right here and this is telling you here to attach
a separate yarn strand here and then says
chain fifteen and fasten off.
So you you're
chaining fifteen and fastening off
so that when you start this row here you can go straight across
and then catch that chain into position
and then continue up.
So you have to watch
things like these builder chains when it comes to this.
Other things, let's take a look at the 'V' for example.
So the 'V' will start off at the bottom here
and you'll just work your way across and follow
the instructions and then eventually
this same yarn strand will then carry up for the remaining of the 'V'
and then eventually you'll come back and with the same color of yarn but with a
Different strand that you'll finish off this 'V'.
So you just have to carefully watch that when you're going through these pattern in order
to make work.
You can see here on the 'Z', okay the 'Z' is just a straight, it's just one strand the
way that they designed it.
It's just the same strand that is gonna work everything into position for you
and that's kind of a neat idea.
Let's see if there's any other letters that are in issue.
So a 'W' for example.
It says start with the left leg.
So we start with the left leg
and you can see you complete all the black first.
Okay, and then it says, work the right leg.
So you can see you're gonna complete this
and complete all the black and then it says with the right side leg joining,
so you're gonna wanna do your stitch markers so you know.
Then you're going to then complete going up the right side
just like you see here
and then you can then see in the center section okay, it's actually this one here.
So it's gonna be coming up and you're gonna fill in the center section, that's the same
yarn.
And then finally you're gonna come to the left one here and then finish that up.
So you're just gonna follow these instructions as you go and each of the letters
has a difference of color in order for you easily identify what you exactly need to do.
So an 'N' is a little more complicated so it says start on the left leg first.
So you're gonna do all this first.
Then stop, okay, that doesn't mean that you fasten off all the time.
It just means that you stop
and then you're gonna come down to the right leg and you're gonna work this up
but look.
You're then going to then have to go up in this direction and in this
direction and then you're gonna have to fill in the top.
So some of these letters can be a little bit complicated when it comes to the actual shaping.
Um, for example, um, a 'Q', I don't know if I have a 'Q'.
I have a 'Q' somewhere.
A zero or an 'O' would be a great example of that as well.
So an 'O',
you're gonna start off and you're gonna and you can go into the right side here
as you follow it up, so you're just following the black
and then you can't do the top section unless this is done so then that means you have to
come back here and finish
it and then you'll see how to finish it here.
So you really wanna watch these builder chains.
You can see that they're here on the bottom
so that means that you had to extend it a little bit more so you have to watch the
that have a curvature on them.
Especially in the bottom is concerned in order to build out any stitches, just like that.
A 'Q' would be a little more complicated, just like you see here and it's just a matter
of just working each section piece by piece and it's just a matter of just doing it I
guess.
So let's take a look at 'Q', 'S'.
'S' would be the next or 'Q', 'R' sorry.
So then it says
So then it says start on the left leg, going up
and then you're doing the right leg and then you can do this whole middle section
and then the middle ends up coming around here.
Then you see this is the same color, just like this, okay.
You're obviously gonna fill this in and then you're gonna finish off your letter right
at the top.
So this is how you kind of look at these diagrams just piece by piece.
They're really not hard to do but you do require to learn how to read these in order to complete
these.
So in this final section then what I would strongly recommend that grabbing a highlighter
and/or a pen or anything that you need.
I highlight as I go.
So for example, I need two patterns in order to do this so I can
highlight as I go.
Here would be the blank one here and so then I'll start with a chain worked like so
and come back across and every time I finish something is that just highlight that I've
done it.
It's the best way to in order to keep it.
So put down you project real quick, highlight where you are and then keep moving along.
And so you will notice here I just kept highlighting as I did it and then I stopped.
And then it allows me just to kinda keep track of it.
But you're really key element to all of this
is to knowing to put that stitch marker into place just like you see here.
Okay, so that just makes it a lot easier.
So let's just start off with an example just really quickly.
I'm just gonna start you off with a leg just to make sure that you understand what you're
doing for stitch work
and then let's carry on from that point.
So let's start on the letter 'A'.
I'm just gonna show you just a few things and then
I'm not gonna do the whole thing with you.
So it says to work twelve.
So it says chain twelve and work rows from one to ten on the right leg
and then drop the loop to be picked up later.
So then you'll do the left leg and then the left leg will expand over here and I showed
you the colors of that 'A' anyway.
So you're gonna create a slip knot and you're going to chain a total of twelve.
So you just chain twelve so just 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12
and you can see that it's single crocheting
back across that chain.
So second chain from the hook
which is normal and you're just going to go in the back hump only
of the stitch and there will be a total of eleven stitches going across.
Now do I care that it's eleven?
Not really but if you wanna keep an accurate count you can do so if you want to.
So then you're just gonna get to the end of that row.
So before I continue any further from this I want to tell you to put in that stitch
marker so you'll know where it is.
So you'll know the right side from the wrong side because it's easy to flip yourself around
on these things
in order for you to get it wrong.
So what I'm gonna do is that off camera here
I got a piece of yarn.
So it's purple, so I'm gonna cut a piece of yarn
and I'm just gonna pull out my hook and right on this side
that I just came from is that I'm gonna put that stitch marker in on this side here.
Just gonna pull it through.
I'll come out later, like that.
And so I'm gonna write the letter of the word purple.
Okay, I'm gonna stay stitch marker
(s, m) purple.
So whenever I, um, so this is the stitch marker here.
So whenever I see the stitch marker is here, it matches this side here.
So if it's turned over like this I know that I'm looking at the back side of the project
because the stitch marker is on the wrong side.
So not I'm going to follow that pattern up.
So I move up to the second row and you can see that it's chain one and two single crochets
into the first one and then one
single crochet all the way.
So what I have to do is that the increasing and the decreasing always happens on the edge
nothing happens really weird in the middle.
So I'm looking to what's happening on the edge, then I start happening on the other
side.
So I'm just gonna simply just turn my work
and I'm just gonna continue to move up in this pattern.
Okay, so you chain up one
and then it's two single crochets into the same stitch.
So 1 and 2 and now it's just a matter of one single crochet in each of the stitches
going all the way across as it indicates on the pattern.
And what I haven't done is that I didn't highlight where I was on the pattern.
So I wanna make sure I do that at the end of this row going across before I lose count
or where I am.
It's easy to do so and I strongly recommend it.
So you're gonna go right to the last stitch that's available to you as per the instructions.
Like so, so I'm just gonna turn my work so I'm gonna grab my highlighter
and I'm gonna say okay, I just did row two, is done and the chain's done.
So now row number three, you can see that there's two single crochets that come together
and so I chain up one, two singles together and It's just a straight shot across
with just, um, just single crochets.
Sometimes on some of these patterns is that you can have a decrease or an increase on
both side of the same line but most of them
it's only one side increasing, the other side stays the same.
It all depends on the pattern that you're looking at.
So that's gonna be a decrease so I'm gonna chain up one and the first two
are gonna be coming together and I showed you how to do that already.
Okay, so you got three loops on the hook, put them together and then the remaining of
it is going to be
just a single crochet.
So I can tell where the stitch marker is in my hand right now that I'm looking
at the good side of the 'A'.
So I'm looking at the side that you'll see when you're going to display this 'A'.
Okay, and you go right across.
Now because you put two in the first one
over here gotta make sure you don't forget that second one.
Looks like it's compacted but it's in there
and so if you look at it and hold it down to you project you will notice you project
is
starting to go in this direction that matches the 'A' and this one is also
leaning in that direction by keeping it horizontal.
So then with my highlighter
I wanna say I did row number three.
So row number four
there's nothing weird about it so it's just straight up so it's just a matter of chain
one
okay and then each stitch gets a single crochet so some of these
rows you get a complete mental break of just slamming in some single crochets and stuff.
But the shaping of these particular projects actually work out really good and
really do a great job of keep it accurate to what you're seeing on the pattern.
So row number four I didn't have to think about it
but the very last one has two together so making sure I only go into that one
that's together.
Don't accidentally go into a chain work here to create an extra stitch.
So turning my work now I've just done row number four.
So I want to look at the stitch marker and I
can see the stitch marker's right here.
So I'm starting row number five, so if I was starting row number five
and my stitch marker was on the wrong side and looking like this and I was
actually over here, I know I'm not in sync with this pattern.
So keep an eye on that stitch marker in order to keep you going up.
So row number five it just shows straight up,
chain and single crochet in each as you're
going across and then the final one has two.
So hopefully you can understand this pattern in order to keep an eye on it
so just look for that starting chain.
What's happening there, is it increasing?
Is it decreasing?
Then go and look at the opposite side of where you're going all the way across and
see what happening over there, because all of it is just single crochets that are
just filling in as you go.
So on the very final one over here
there's going to be two single crochets into the same one
to keep that in sync.
So I'm gonna turn my work
and then as I just continue to move up
so then I just chain one, one single in each
and then I look to the other side here and you'll see that there's two together.
So that becomes really quite easy in order for you to maintain.
So some things like this one over here
is that you're gonna build up and then it's gonna tell you to chain a certain amount
and when you go to do the chain you're going to then just match it.
So when you go to match across you're looking to where the stitch marker
is to match the photograph and when you go to extend this piece over here
and you can see it on the other 'A' that I created
that we came up and you chained across and you
attached it.
So it's a really neat idea in order for you to stay balanced.
I guess the key is, is to keep an eye on you pattern, keep an eye on your stitch work
and this is how you keep an eye on these things.
Welcome to Chapter number four.
Now that you know how to construct these pillows
we also covered on how to read the symbols and read the patterns in previous chapters.
It's time to look at the specific pattern.
This chapter will run through the letter or number to highlight things to watch out for.
I will also review the order in which the project should be crochet to.
So without further ado, let's go.
So welcome to the number five.
The numbers five, six and nine are actually complicated
when it comes to adding extra stuff in order to
create these curvatures. Anything on the curvatures
with these things things. You just have to pay
attention to adding in extra yarn strands in order to do it.
Before you begin make sure that you start off
with some stitch markers right in the very beginning.
Label which is right side and which is left.
So make this a different color stitch marker that this one
and make sure you come and write it down on
your sheet so you know which is the front and the back.
Because you won't know, be able to know when you
just see this part of the half moon whether you're
looking at the front or the back.
So you just gotta watch out for these add in
extra yarn strands right here in the first stitch and you
and you wanna add your builder chains and you gotta do it again
right here and the next side here
and you're just gonna work you way back and forth
in order to gain your stitches.
So this yarn here will then travel up this side of the five
and will have to do something different over here.
So once you get to there and get this finished
you're gonna come back down here and you're going to join your yarn
again and you're just gonna continue to go up this side.
And then you're gonna have to stop right about here.
So this yarn stops after
you're being able to do this chain
but you can't do that chain right away
because you have to continue to do this side first.
So you're gonna carry one and do this side first
and then you can do your chain work
and then finish all this area just like you see.
And this same yarn strand is then gonna travel up
and just watch out for this extra chain up here
and just continue to go. So this five
has got a slant on it
so just watch out for these decreases right up here.
And then you're gonna come back and you're going to
finish off this area at the very end of your project.
So to do this kind of idea just watch where things
are stopping and starting. Just refer to the notes down here.
You'll do two number fives and then you'll put
those together with a gusset that will follow
the entire five all the way around.
Make sure you stuff it as you go
because it's very difficult to leave a hole down here
and be able to stuff it there.
So make sure you stuff everything nice and firm
as you go in order to complete this.
So this is how you do the number five.
Until next time I'm Mikey on be half of The Crochet Crowd
as well as Yarnspirations.com.
We'll see you again real soon.
Bye, bye. 👋
