Celtic Weave Crochet Stitch

Hi guys welcome to another crochet tutorial with me, Laura and in this video I'm gon na be showing you how to do this more advanced stitch. The celtic weave stitch. Now this stitch is more complicated and my second time filming this, because my camera decided to corrupt the file, so I'm enough to start again from scratch. But this is quite a fiddly stitch, but hopefully you'll give it a go. You'Ll need to have knowledge of the front post stitch and the back post stitch and also the treble crochet stitch in us at terminology in UK terminology. That'S the double treble! So if you're new to crochet do go check out those particular beginning tutorials and maybe coming back to this more complicated stitch right, let's begin, let's crack on, shall we so the first thing we're gon na do is we are going to do a slipknot? It'S gon na change to a different yarn here, excuse the state of my fingers and what we're gon na do is we're gon na work, two units of four plus two plus one. So, first of all, let's work to our units of four. So it's a four times table so one two three and four so chained, four and then I'm gon na chain, another four, five, six, seven and eight another four nine ten, eleven twelve and let's do another four 13, 14, 15 and 16. Okay. So you've got our unit of four that's four times: four is 16, but you can use any units of four and then once you've got a unit of four we're going to add two onto that to chain another two one and two and that's gon na. Be your unit for the actual pattern, then, for the original chain row foundation chain wrote we're just gon na do an extra one on top of that, so in total I've done 19 chains. Then what we're gon na do is we're gon na do a very simple row of single crochets. So in UK terminology focus camera, that's gon na be a double crochet, so we are going to work into our second chain from the hook. We don't count the loop at a hook. That'S our first there's all second Jean, but I'll hook into there and do a single crochet, I'm going to do one single crochet in each chain across go into the next chain. Do a single, crochet and next chain single crochet and do one single crochet in each chain across this will make it easier to do the pattern rather than work you straight into a change. You can't buy extra into your jeans, but it's just a little bit more fiddly, so I thought we'd do a little simple single crochet row to begin with: okay, so one single crochet in each chain across just coming up to the end. Okay, so once you've done one single crochet in each chain across wind up the stitch count of 18, so it's one less than you begun with then. What we're going to do is we are going to chain three, and this is going to count as a double crochet on UK terminology, a triple crochet we're going to turn our work and those chains, because they're going to count as a stitch. Okay, gon na pretend that they're going to be worked into that first stitch, so we're gon na skip that first stitch. That'S already worked, then we're gon na yarn over twice to do a treble, crochet or in UK terminology, a double treble so wrapping the yarn around a hook twice then we're gon na skip the next two chains as well, so skip the next one and the next One so you're skipping three to begin with, okay, so that one's already worked then skip two. Then in the next one we put our hook into that stitch, bring the yarn through and whenever we do, a double crochet or bigger. We just yarn over pull through two. Until we get to the end so yarn over two yarn over pull through two and that completes a treble crochet stitch, then we're gon na yarn over twice again and do a triple in the next stitch as well. Pull through two pull through two pull through two. Like so, then, we need to work a treble in these skipped a stitch to find your first skipped stitch. I'M gon na yarn over twice find your first skip stitch here. We'Re gon na work a treble into there, but what's easy, rather than going into the stitch from the front, we're going to go behind the stitch and come to the front that way, it's a lot easier to work into a skip stitch that be then we can Grab the yarn and bring it through the stitch and then do our treble pull through two pull through two and we're gon na yarn over twice find the next skip stitch. And again, I'm gon na come from the back to the front, bring the yarn through and do a treble okay. So it should look something like that. Then what we're gon na do yarn over twice and we're gon na skip the next two stitches. So this one here it was the one we worked and see the yarn pulling at the stitch. So leave that alone skip the next stitch, skip the next one and then in the next stitch, I'm gon na do a treble so pull through two three two, two and yarn over twice go into the next stitch and do a treble in there as well. Then we're gon na yarn over twice and find that first skip stitch back over here and again we're gon na come from the back to the front cuz it's easier to work. The stitch then just grab the yarn. Bring it through then, do a treble yarn over twice and find your next skip stitch then again come from the back to the front grab the yarn do a treble. I'M just going to repeat this pattern all the way across, so I'm gon na skip the next to skip one skip. Two then, in the next one, do a treble yarn over twice into the next stitch, to a trouble and do a treble and that first skip stitch back over here. It'S coming from behind, grab the yarn and over twice find the next one, and then we've got Omni. We'Ve got low. I'Ve got five left, so we're going to skip the next two to treble in the next stitch and then do a trouble in the next stitch. Then do a treble in that first skip stitch and then a treble in the next skip stitch and then, when you get to the end, we should have one little stitch left right on the end here. Just after that, last one worked and in there we're gon na do a double crochet or in UK terminology, a treble so just a double crochet in there. Okay. So your first row should look something like that: you've got these Criss crosses of trebles. It'S moving on to the next row. Now this row is working back post, stitches, okay. So what we're gon na do is we're gon na chain three and we again we're gon na count that as a double crochet, I'm going to turn our work and that stitch there has already worked before because it's got us chains in it. So we're gon na pretend that's already worked, and then we need to find the next two stitches. Now these two stitches are hidden behind these two going that way, so we dig them out. You can just look for the stitches at the top and find these posts underneath okay, so I'm gon na be working around that first post there we're gon na yarn over twice and do a back post stitch. The easy way to remember to do that is always come from the back. It'S gon na put a hook down and we're going to come from the back to the front facing us. We come to the right hand. Side of that post. Then we're gon na go over the other side and back out to the back. If we turn our work over, you would have caught that post on the top of your hook. Okay, so now we need to do is bring that yarn underneath that post and do a treble so pull through two pull through two pull through two okay yarn over twice turn it back up the other way. Then we need to find the next one, which is even more hidden, so there we dig it out and again we come from the back, go to the back turn it upside down and we've caught that post on our hook. We can just bring the yarn underneath that and enter a treble okay. So what we're going to do now is we aren't going to find the next two hidden stitches? All we're gon na skip two, so we're gon na skip these two here which are going that way to skip one skip to find the next stitch. These one's hidden behind so thing to remember with the back post row is we're always looking for the ones that are hidden, so we're gon na find this first hidden. One here and again come from the back then go to the back turn. It upside-down bring the yarn underneath the post do a treble okay yarn over twice and find the next one. That'S hidden, it's really hidden behind those two, but there it is come from the back, go to the back and you've caught that post in the yarn. Underneath. Do a treble okay! So now what we want to do get a little bit more fiddly these two we skipped here. We want to do a back post it around them, so you might think. Oh, I have to come down here. It'S all a bit confusing. Where do I put my foot? So what we're gon na do first need to do is yarn over twice and go behind these stitches. You'Ve just worked, that's really important. Otherwise, the pattern we messed up, so we want to go behind this these stitches and then bring the hook through to the right-hand side of that first skipped post. But when you come to the right hand, side of it, you need to make sure to skip these two here, so it needs to come between those two. Okay, so I'll show you that again, we yarn over twice you're behind these stitches we just made and come to the right hand side of those two going that direction top left making sure not to catch any of those two stitches we just worked and then do The same thing again: we go to the back, turned upside down and we've caught that post on our hook. So we just bring the yarn underneath and then do a treble cases aren't over twice shape for the next one. I'M sad, you turn it back. It'S like, or where is everything gone? It'S all confusing. What are we doing just make sure you flatten that corner down and we need to find the next post. The next one is here: okay, so we're looking for these two we skip that are going top left. We just worked that one now we need to find this one just pull away all the other stitches out the way hold on to it. If you want to and then go behind those stitches there behind those and come to the right-hand side of that stitch and out so you've grabbed it on your hook, bring the yarn underneath and do a treble okay like so okay. So then, what we're gon na do is we've already worked these ones hidden behind here, so we're gon na skip these next to that going top left gon na skip those find the next two that are hidden okay, so these ones here so again we'll do a Back post stitch come from the back and go round to the back you've caught that post on your hook, so bring the yarn underneath and do a treble okay so find the next one. That'S hidden! This one here come from the back: go to the left-hand side, bring it underneath that post and do your trouble okay, so a little bit easier! Now we need to find these two that we skipped that are going top left just like we did over here. So what we're gon na do is find that first one here, the one on the right hand, side and dig out these stitches underneath so they're out of the way. So you can really see it exposed then the yarn over twice I'm gon na go behind those stitches. We just made and come to the right of that post. Keeping away from these two here then go to the back you've caught the post. Bring the yarn underneath that post and do a treble might seem like a right mess of the main, but it does come together yarn over twice and find the next one's flatten. Everything down find the next one again come to the right hand, side of it, avoiding all the stitches at the back aids out turn upside down you've caught it on your hook, underneath do treble just repeat that all the way across and we skip the next two Going top left and find the next two that are hidden dig out this next one come to the back: go to the back, do a treble and the next one, that's hidden, underneath to a trouble over twice find your bearings and look for these two. You skip that are going top left, find that first one here and then move these ones out the way go behind the stitches. You just made come to the right of that stitch out to the back. It'S an upside down and you've caught that post bring the yarn under the post. Do a treble okay find the next one, which is this one here. Camera does not want to focus a take he's going out of focus. Do apologize do treble okay, so when you get to the end now, we've already worked these two hidden at the back, so we should have two left over and these are the ones what we would normally skip and go on, but we haven't got any more to Go on so we're just gon na work back post stitches around these two going top left, so we're gon na go to the right-hand side of that one catch. The post do a treble seams, the next one and, at a very, very end, we're just going to do a double crochet in those chains. There, okay, so just yarn over once this time, go into the top of those chains as neatly as you can and do a double crochet. Okay. So it should look something like this and you're. Like hmm, that's looking nothing like your pattern, but if you turn it over, you can start to see it come together. So now we move on to a front post row, so we always start off with a chain three count that as a double crochet and that stitch is technically already worked, then so when we work eight front post, it's row triple crochet front post stitch row. We need to look for these ones going at top right, okay, so these ones, the first one's going a diagonal we're going to skip these two here. These ones down here belong to, or actually all the way over here, because they're going underneath those and coming out the stitches are coming out over here. So don't think that they're next in line they're all the way over here. So we skip these first two obvious ones here and we're going to find these two going top right, I'm gon na go just let me do a front post stitch instead of starting at the back we're gon na start at the front. So we do is just go under that post there we're not touching anything underneath just grabbing that post going in from the front coming back out to the front and just bring the yarn underneath and do your treble. So this row is much easier yarn over twice and find the next one pop your hook underneath bring the yarn through and do a treble okay like so okay. So what you want to do next is find these two over here. These ones under here always look like they're the previous ones. You skipped, but they're actually worked all the way over here, so they're kind of out of the picture these ones down here. So what you want to do is yarn if it twice and find these two here at the very very beginning, I'm gon na do a front post stitch around those, so we're gon na bring a hook all the way down and when we do a front post Stitch we're just going to go from the front right hand slide and we're just hooking it over a hook and do a treble don't think I went under that properly. Let'S do that again. Everything'S going wrong now battery died tails in the way. Thank you so that one's done and then find this next one here and again, come from the front right hand, side over to the left hooking over the top. It'S facing the front front front front for a front post stitch and do a treble okay, like that. Okay and we're gon na ignore these ones down here. For now, that's not what we want to work with at the moment, then we find the next two diagonals that are facing top right, maybe here and we're gon na go under the first one and do a front post stitch around these. So this row is a lot easier. It'S just about remembering the right stitches then do a treble front post stitch around the next one. Then the two we've skipped. Are these ones all the way down here, because there, if you follow them over fold this down, they come out, you can see. Actually they come out over here you see, so they are the two that we would have technically skipped. So we want to do a front post stitch around this, so what you need to do is pull this out the way and find those to follow it up, underneath find that first one there we're only going from the front, so we can just hook it out And do a treble do a triple around the next one. It'S a little bit easier to see thanks Sam and then we're going to find skip. The next two which are hidden under here, which follow up from here, find these two that going top right and then do a front post. It'S around these. So for this row and you do front post it. You just need to look for these ones that are going top right from the very beginning. Then here we go then find the two you skipped, which is sat, see these ones that follow up underneath fold, that down find that first, one hook that out bring the yarn underneath, do a treble crochet stitch and do a treble crochet around the next one. As well, okay, it's when you've done that we've got the next two we're gon na skip and the ones hidden under here coming up from there find the last two top right facing ones and do front post ditches around those courts, something very wrong. There see even fiddly for me there we go and do a treble front post stitch around the last one hooking. It then do a treble around the skipped ones to follow this up fold. These out the way find those two underneath just hook that one out do a treble check around the next one, and then all you've got left over now to do is find these chains at the very end and do a double crochet in the top of those Chains as neatly as you can it's a double crochet when you key terminology at treble, so there we go. It'S always a all you need to then do is repeat those two rows. So now we would go on to a back postage row, the more fiddly a one. So what we would do is we chain 3 to begin and what we need to look out for. First of all, so it looks so much more complicated on the back, but does yarn over twice and then find that first stitch is already worked. So then just find the next stitch. We need to not skip anything at the beginning of the back post row. So it's going to find the next stitch and that post hidden all the way down there. Okay, we're gon na do a back post stitch. Now, let's remember to do a back post stitch. We come from the back, so bring your hook down, come from the back. The right hand side then out over and then you've hooked it on the top over here and then do a treble through two pull through two yarn over twice find the next one which is gon na, be. If you can't see it just look for the stitch and then find the post underneath, dig it out and come from the back leave it to the front yarn underneath. So you work first, two that are hidden at the back. Then you need to find the next two that are hidden at the back. So, look for this next clump of stitches and those two on the front move those out the way and find those two hidden at the back there, your next to come from the back to do a back post stitch and do a treble around those same for The next one, which is even more hidden to dig that out, okay, then we skipped that these ones sat on the front going top left okay. So we need to dig those out get these ones that hidden underneath out the way, really dig those two out and then we yarn over twice get behind those stitches and come out the right-hand side from the back of that first stitch. Keeping all this stuff out of the way you don't want to work through any stitches. Okay, then go over to the other side. Bring the yarn through, do treble. Okay, do it the next one here give a hind those stitches out the right-hand side of it, making sure to keep away from everything go over to the left, bring it underneath and do a treble. What was a very messy trouble just go with it yarn over twice okay, so they worked worked and worked okay, so these ones here the back they've been worked. The next two at the front. Here we skip those and find the next two hidden at the back. Come from the back over, do it treble find the next hidden one, so the back post stitches on this wrote all about finding the hidden ones first and on the front post stitches. It'S always about finding the ones at the Front's going top right to try and help you remember, okay. So now we need to get back to these two skipped ones at the front, so again move all these stitches that are behind out the way your finger in there and make them sit by themselves yarn over twice it get behind these stitches we just made and To the right of that, keeping away from those stitches at the back go over to the left turn upside down. You'Ve hooked it on top of you know, hook bring the yarn underneath do a treble. Okay, do the next one as well and then needs to remember so back post ditches were looking for the ones hidden, so the next we skip these two at the front. Find these next to hidden at the end, dig that first one out come from the back right hand: side bring the yarn under. Do it treble, do it for the next one, which is even more hidden, was the last one worked that one this one? Here'S a next one lost it. Okay, yarn over twice find these ones at the front that we skipped. We need to go behind. These stitches come to the right-hand side of that first one, but making sure we're not going through any of these stitches underneath these ones. Here it's the left, Oh completely lost it. It'S trying to do it slow to the right over you've hooked it. So you can turn upside down, bring the yarn underneath do a treble and yarn over twice doop, the next one. So, where are we when tails getting in the way don't ever try? This is the next one right hand, side hooked it bring the yarn underneath do a treble okay. So when you get to the end, we know these ones have worked here. We'Ve only got these two at the front left we're not going to skip them this time, because there's nothing to work, carry on so we're just going to work around these. Get these ones behind out the way come to the right to a treble and then a very last one finish up with a double crochet in that last row of chains. These chain three double crochet in at the top of there neatly as you can, and there we go if we turn it over, look at that the magic has happened so now we're gon na move on to the front post stitch again, so we chain three and Turn and remember for the front post stitches, we're looking for those ones up at the front that are going top right, so the first set or over here. So we're sort of skipping those two skipping this thing down here, but these are actually stitches. Actually, all the way over here anyway so skip the first two and find this these ones here go and top right and then for a front post stitch. We go from the front so we're not coming from the back front, so we're just literally just hooking. It underneath bring the yarn under and do a treble. So this row is a lot easier. Do under the next one a little bit of rest bite. I think from the back post stitches, then we need to find the first two we skipped these are the ones at the very very beginning. Don'T need to come from the back, so we just come all the way down nice and easy, and just hook it on a hook like that and keeping everything to the front do a treble yarn over twice and do it for the next one just took it. It'S the first lot, then we find the next one's going to the top right hook, the first one and do a treble the next one to a treble - and this is when we finally need to find those ones coming from down here, because they had the we've. Just skipped so to find those move, these two out the way and you'll see those to post their dick that one out this one here remember we're just coming from the front like that and do a treble do it for the next one. Okay, that's my elbow or say for making dodgy noises and then we're looking for the next one's going top right go into the first one and do a treble the next one. Then we finds these two. We skipped that are going underneath here. So we need to move those out of the way, find that the first one there dig it out, didn't, dig it out properly. It'S a come from the front. Go to the left-hand side, don't trouble your next one and last to where we're done. Those haven't. We so we now find these last ones here, going top right, a lot more straight up to be honest, but do a treble around those front post the front post, keep it to the front front and do another trip around. There then find the two is skipped which are coming up from here: move these out of the way there they are hook that out, do a treble and do it for the next one and on the front post ray. We don't end up with anything left over. So we just go straight into a double crochet in the top of those chains which here and there we go. That'S two lots of rows. So there we go. That'S how you do the Celtic weave stitch. You do a row of back post stitches and keep an eye out for the ones that are hidden first and then you do a row of front post stitches and keep an eye out for the ones that are going top right and that, hopefully, will help. You remember how to start each row and yeah, so I hope you enjoyed that tutorial. This is one this one here. I just worked straight into the chains at the very beginning, so you can see the difference of it worked into the chains as opposed to worked into some single crochets. It'S entirely up to you what you want to do and this stitch is really fun. If you've used it for headbands, you could use it for bags. You could use it for anything, really anything you fancy making a good washcloth and I scrubby effect it's entirely up to you just remember to work two units of four plus two plus one at the very beginning, chainring and yeah hope you manage to follow along. Hopefully, you'll give it a try. It is definitely a fiddly and more advanced stitch, but if you crack it, then it creates a brilliant effect, but don't forget to follow me on Instagram.
