Are you a crocheter who enjoys learning new crochet stitches? If so, you won't want to miss this exciting crochet class taught by longtime designer and instructor Debra Arch. Crocodile stitch is a favorite among many crocheters because of its interesting texture and dimension. In fact, it gets its name because the stitches actually look like crocodile scales!

In this crochet video, Debra will first demonstrate how to crochet the basic crocodile stitch used in many patterns. She'll then expand your skills with crochet lessons teaching you how to work this stitch in four amazing techniques--in the vertical, in the round, in the flat and in the circular. With Debra as your guide, you'll stitch nine pretty crochet patterns including an elegant lotus scarf, a skinny sequin scarf, easy headband and ear warmer, a beautiful cowl, cozy boot toppers, pineapple trivet, ruffled pillow and a whimsical owl purse. In this class, you'll learn:
  • How to crochet the basic crocodile stitch
  • Four techniques for crocheting crocodile stitch -- in the vertical, in the round, in the flat and in the circular

The instructor was very good and friendly, however I thought she was a little to fast in the beginning as I was trying to follow, so I wrote down instructions as she spoke, which made it a little easier to comprehend. I also can not get the second DVD to play. I think this is a very good class, and I am glad to have added it to my collect.

I enjoyed this class. It was done so that even a beginner could easily follow it. The only thing that would make it better would be to make it easy to advance from one project to the other. I enjoyed the instructor, and thought she was very personable and skillful. I also made the owl purse from the downloaded instructions, and it came out very cute. The instructions were complete and easy to follow.

Not sure why but my class was a little blurry. There were also sometimes that I thought to the person who was filming should have focused in on the yarn and hook as the stitches were being made. It took some attention and patience with stopping and reviewing but I was able to make the the crocodile stitch and accomplish the scarf for two friends for Christmas so I think the class was worth it. This is one of my favorite stitches and I'm happy that I can do it on my own now.

I really enjoyed the class. Instructor was very thorough in explaining the stitch in each of the individual projects. Would definitely recommend the course to intermediate level crocheters.
