hey guys welcome back i've already chained a chain it's in multiples of two and i think i did about maybe 10 or 12 and then i added one chain so what we're going to do here is we're going to make our floret stitch it is another alternative to doing a basic single crochet if you want to finish up the border of a hat or scarf or purse or anything like that so we're going to do our floret stitch so you're working in multiples of two and i've already done all that so now on your first row you want to skip three chains so one two three and you're going to double crochet which means you're going to wrap insert pull your yarn through you have three you're going to wrap pull through two wrap pull through two and if you're not familiar with just the basic double crochet you can go back and view my video on that so we're going to go ahead and do that all the way across to the end of our um practice piece here so you're just going to do double crochets all the way to the end and as you see i'm using some nice hot pink today kind of matches the name of the stitch it's a floret stitch and i think flowers are very pretty when they're pink so perfect to match okay so just double crochet to get to the end and i've got two more to go and if you need to stop or pause the video that's fine then you can pick up where we left off all right so now what you're going to do is you're going to turn your work you're going to chain one okay and then what you're going to do is you're going to do one double crochet in the next stitch so right here you're going to do a double crochet all right and then in our next stitch you're just going to slip it so you're going to insert your hook grab your yarn pull through and then pull through that same stitch that was on your hook okay and you're going to repeat that all the way across so wrap for the double crochet in our next stitch pull through and through then in our next stitch is our slip stitch pull through and through next double crochet and that's just how simple the floret stitch is there's nothing major to it it's just a texture difference from other simple smaller stitches it just gives you an option to have a different type of border you know or gives your afghan that you want to do in single crochet it gives it just a little bit of a personality so i've gotten to the end of my row and that's what almost looks like a little uh a flower uh fence to me um but it has those little ridges up at the top and it's just very cute it was just a very simple stitch to do but it does give you a variety so um explore with this stitch and practice this and this again is called the floret stitch and thank you for uh viewing my video and i hope that you hit the like button on your way out and happy hooking everybody
