by Doroteja March 9, 2017

If you would like to see more videos please subscribe HERE. It’s free! Thank you so much for stopping by! Don’t be shy and subscribe to my blog and my YouTube channel. I share new tutorials every week! Hi, everyone! Double crochet, in UK crochet terminology also called treble crochet, produces softer crochet fabric than the single and half double crochet stitches.

Crochet Baby Beanie

by Doroteja January 29, 2017

Hello everyone! I have been posting a lot of tutorials on my blog and  YouTube lately, but most of them are for stitches and different crochet techniques so I can link them to my crochet patterns when needed. I personally think it’s priceless when you are just a click away from the stitch that is new and unfamiliar to you. Sometimes is just hard to find a great video or photo tutorial to solve the crochet mystery. Today’s blog post …

How To Make a Half Double Crochet Stitch (hdc and hdc2tog)

by Doroteja January 22, 2017

Half double crochet, also called half triple crochet in UK terminology, is a stitch that I personally use the most. It’s a little bit taller than single crochet stitch but creates nice and dense fabric. I am using it for baby soles and cardigans. Half double crochet is very similar to double crochet, but it ends one loop earlier than double crochet. Abbreviations: Half double crochet stitch – hdc (in the UK called half triple crochet ) Half double two together stitch …

How to Crochet in Front and Back Loop Only

by Doroteja January 20, 2017

If you look at the top of the row/round. Each stitch looks like a sideways V or little heart. Each V is made of two loops: the front loop and the back loop. If you hold the piece of crochet in front of you with the “little hearts” on top, the part of the heart closest to you is the front loop.

Crochet Baby Booties With a Leather Sole

by Doroteja January 10, 2017

I have a box of faux leather that has been sitting in a corner of my crafting room for months. I didn’t open it for who knows how long. My initial idea was to try to make leather baby shoes and share the tutorial here on my blog. But because of a lack of my inspiration and time, the box stayed exactly the same since I’ve got it. But somehow I knew the time will come and we will do …

Festive Reindeer Baby Sweater

by Doroteja December 21, 2016

Hello, everyone! This time of the year is simply my favorite. Christmas lights, Christmas tree, hot chocolate, and fluffy white snow. It’s magical. This is the only time of the year when I come to the store, buy a bunch of yarn and nobody is looking at me weird because I bought a full basket (or sometimes even more) of yarn. I usually order my yarn online through the year, especially in summer, and this is one of the reasons. …

Let’s Make Some Crochet Christmas Ornaments

by Doroteja December 18, 2016

I believe it’s can be a little late to talk about Christmas ornaments for some of you. Many of you opened the doors of your homes to the holiday spirit two weeks ago when December started. Shopping malls started in the middle of November. Your homes are probably decorated and Christmas trees full of ornaments in your favorite color by now. But even if all the branches of your Christmas tree are full, there is still a place for some …
