Finally! Remember last year, when someone in the comments asked for a video? And then this year, when I said I wanted to start making video tutorials? Well! It’s taken much longer than expected, but what started with this…
…and included a whole lot of swearing, sweating, nervous laughter, and general crochet shenanigans, has born crochet video goodness!
There was much trial and error, a week of dithering on the music selection (what is “moogly music”? Anyone?), and suffice to say, I am so lucky I decided to marry a video production guy! We hope to make more instructional videos in the future… and now that we’ve got the basics hammered out, it should go a lot quicker!
Now, may I present, the first official moogly instructional video! How to crochet the Bobble Stitch, or dc5tog, as seen in the Blackberry Salad Striped Baby Blanket and Afghan!
Someday I hope to stop feeling like a doofus whenever I hear my own voice. And boy do I have a heck of a midwestern accent there, eh? But it was SO much fun, I think it shows how to make this type of bobble very well, and I can’t wait to do more! Any requests? What stitches have you perplexed?
Don’t forget to like moogly on facebook for sneak peeks, early releases, insider info and photos, fun links and more! And of course, to order your very own one of a kind moogly handcrafts!

Love. It. I’d like to see a tutorial on i-cord.
At least that’s what I think it’s called…
Crocheted icord is a tricky business – definitely worth a video! Good idea!

Thank you so much for providing a tutorial for the DC5tog! I was doing it all wrong until I watched your video!!!
Oh I’m so glad it helped Heather! It’s one of those things that’s so much easier to show rather than describe.
Yay!! Thanks for the video. I found your blackberry salad pattern when I was looking for baby blanket ideas and I fell in LOVE! I was a little nervous because I had never attempted a pattern without a video reference. Thanks so much for taking the time to make a video. You are an inspiration to all of us crochet newbies.
I’m now following you on facebook, too!
Thanks so much Shannon! That makes it all worth it!

thank you so much for the video! are you good at zig zag afghans? or ripple patterns? for some reason, i have such trouble with those! maybe you could do a video on those types of stitches?
Lauren, that’s a great idea! Especially as I have a couple patterns coming up that use ripples.
I’ll add those to the list! And you are very welcome.
