How to Make Extended Crochet Stitches

Nov 17, 2010 by Kim Werker

Back during the summer, I blogged about the scarf I made out of handspun yarn, working extended half double crochet stitches between the stitches of the previous row. A reader left a comment asking about what extended stitches are all about, and so I combined her question with my recent toying-around with videoblogging. Extended half-double is my favourite stitch of all the stitches I've ever made, and now I want to make a hundred more scarves.

The tutorial bit begins at about 1:47. Have questions about anything? Ask away!

Things I mention in the video:

Thank you for sharing this very interesting stitch!  I've been crocheting for 40 years and never thought of trying this.  Can't wait to try it out on a project.  Great job with the video presentation too!

Thank you for this video. I just started crocheting a few months back and most videos go so fast. I found you guys by searching for my Dr. Horrible doll. I have to say crocheting is addictive and this site rules.

  Thanks

Not trying to cause a rucus here, but this is not a new thing.  It is actually called "The Elmore Crochet Method" and there are two quite rare books that were published by Annies Attic.  He is the inventor of these crochet stitches.  The books are priceless, I do own them and if you can get them they are worth every penny.
