Master the process of crocheting with more than one strand of yarn at a time with this simple photo tutorial. Once you practice this technique with the Chevron City Pillow, you’ll want to make all sorts of quick and easy projects!
- Begin by making the yarn into an S-shape.
- Pinch the center of the S to pick up 3 strands of yarn.
- Make a slipknot onto your crochet hook, wrapping all 3 strands together.
- Placing your fingers through the lp of yarn, pick up the single strand of yarn coming from the cake and pull it through the lp.
- Pull a length of yarn off of the cake to make a long lp.
- Pull the 3 strands of yarn together so that the single strand winds off of the cake to join the new long lp.
- Crochet using all 3 strands.
- Rep the chaining method when you reach the end of a lp; pull the single strand through the end of the lp to make a new long lp and allow the single strand to pull off of the cake as you crochet along.
Is this a magazine subscription
Hi Diana! Yes, this is a magazine subscription, but not a traditional print magazine subscription. I Like Crochet is a digital-only publication with instant access to all of our past issues. Let us know if you have any questions! – Nicola
Wow, have been crocheting for over 50 years & just learned something new. THANKS!
Is there a video tutorial of this? I’m a little confused but want to try this. Thank you for your time and help.
Hello! We don’t have a video for this technique yet, but it is a good idea! If there’s a particular part you aren’t understanding let us know and we can see if the designer has any additional advice. Thanks! – Nicola
I thought I was subscribing to a magazine, not something online.
Hi Barbara! Sorry for any confusion, but we are a digital-only magazine. Please let us know if you have any questions at all! – Nicola
Well I’ll be… wow
I don’t get it is there a video of this technique?
Hi Jennifer! We don’t have a video for this technique yet, but it is a good idea! If there’s a particular part you aren’t understanding let us know and we can see if the designer has any additional advice. Thanks! – Nicola
I think the confusion comes from are you using only one strand as the slip knot? I thought it was very confusing as well to be honest. A better explanation would be awesome.
We’ve reached out to the designer for clarification and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola
AWESOME !
WOW, what a wonderfully, deceptively simple way of doing this, I had always thought this was way too hard and it isn’t – Thanks for the photos.
I’m kind of digging this cool way to read the magazine. It’s so interactive and easy to navigate. It’s not what I expected when I subscribed, but I’m loving it !
So glad to hear! 🙂
