Learn to Crochet – Lesson #3

June 5th, 2007 by Heather

See all the posts in the Crochet School…

This week, we are going to cover some different stitches. My camera is still on the fritz, and since there would be way too many still pictures for each stitch (plus I’m crazy busy with work and home life this week) I decided to link to some great videos that I found on the web. They should help clear up any questions you might have for each stitch, and what they don’t I will (hopefully!) :)

This week we will learn:

  • Shell stitch
  • Popcorn stitch
  • V stitch
  • Puff stitch
  • Bullion Stitch

Shell Stitch

Here is the link to the shell stitch. This stitch makes a very pretty pattern, perfect for afghans.

Popcorn Stitch

The link to the popcorn stitch. This is a common stitch used to add texture to a crocheted piece.

V Stitch

The video for V-stitch. A very pretty pattern that is quite simple to work.

Puff Stitch

The link to the puff stitch video. The puff stitch is very similar to the popcorn stitch, and adds texture to the piece.

Bullion Stitch

You can find the bullion stitch here. These stitches are quite tall, and add texture and a unique look to a piece.
These are just a few of the many, many stitches used to add dimension and beauty to crochet pieces. On the Nexstitch site, there are lots of different videos for many different stitches that you can learn when you have the time!! :D

Here are this week’s patterns. I spent a bit more time going through them (and I didn’t do it late at night LOL) so hopefully I made better choices than last week.

Pattern #1: Shell Stitch Square (this pattern is for a 6″ square. Work it using your H hook, if you find you are around 6″, do a round of sc around the edges, which should bring it to 7″. Or try using a bigger hook (Ie I)
Pattern #2: Fall Flower (don’t worry about color changes yet)

Pattern #3: Circle of Hope
Pattern #4: Puffs and Posts
Pattern #5: Bullion Beauty
Feeling ambitious?

Pattern #6: Puff X Square This pattern will look intense when you first look at it. Don’t get overwhelmed. Translate each round at a time and make sure you have it before you start. It will be easier than you think :)

Good Luck!!

    Could you post something about the ripple stitch? I would love to make an afghan with left-over yarn, but am not sure about how to do the stitch. Thank you so much for all the valuable information.

    Oh my….

    Too bad I still have school. :( Will print these out and work on them as I can.

    Thanks though, they look like fun. I can’t even begin to imagine what you will have us doing in a few more weeks.

    Cool stitches this week! I love the video links, they are so very helpful. You know, I have to admit, these little squares make for the most portable projects. I’m loving your lessons so far (except for that granny square, i still can’t figure that pattern out..but I will!). Your doing a fab job even with your work load and a broken camera.

  4. Leah Says:

    Thanks for all the links – there are a couple stitches here I haven’t tried before, and it’s always helpful to see a video!

  5. Kymberli Says:

    I like the portability of this project, too. Its so easy to carry, when I am carrying it to my mom’s house to ask for help at the points I am getting stuck on. These are some very cool squares. It feels satisfying to complete each one.

  6. Heather Says:

    A ripple stitch is simply a pattern consisting of (usually) double crochet. Here is a great beginner ripple pattern:

    I really liked the videos this week. So easy to follow.

    Don’t know if I’ll be able to keep up with all the homework, though! You’re keeping us busy!

    I figured out my tension issue. I was using the wrong type of wool. It wasn’t worsted weight, so all my squares were turning out too small. Things are going much better now :-) .
