OK let's get started
so were going to begin by creating our slip knot
and you can do this in whichever method you prefer
go ahead and insert your crochet hook
and what we're going to do is do a foundation chain of however many stitches you want
it doesn't need to be in a certain multiple so that yarn over and pull
through yarn over pull through yarn over pull through and yarn over pull through
you can keep going until you get to your desired width of projects that you would
like and then what you want to do is add two more just for turning so go ahead
and pause the video work that chain and meet me back in just a moment so I have
just done my foundation chain I did an amount of eighteen plus two so I have 20
in total we're going to go ahead and work our way back across this foundation
chain for row one and we're going to be doing half treble crochets remember
that's a UK term in the US this is known as a half double crochet
so we're going to work in the third chain from the hook so not the one on
the hook this is the first one and the second so we're going to work into that
third chain with a half treble crochet so you go to yarn over insert your hook
into that chain yarn over and pull through you'll have three loops on the
hook and then yarn over pull through all three loops on that hook and you're
simply going to do this into every chain all the way along your foundation chain
so go ahead pause the video work those half treble crochets all the way across
or half double crochet if you're in the US and meet me back in just a moment
okay so I have just worked that row one with my half treble crochets we're going
to go ahead and chain two one and two this does not class as a stitch and
we're going to turn our work so the way that the camel stitch is going to work
is we currently have the wrong side facing us so all of the the work is
going to be on the opposite side of what is facing us now we're going to be
working into the stitches slightly differently here we're still going to do
a half treble crochet normally we would do the half double crochet in the
stitches like this the two top loops where you will see the front and the
back loop so that is the the V if you turn it onto its side here we're going
to work into what's known as the back bar so remember we have the wrong side
facing us now so this is the back bar we have the top two stitches here and then
we have this other diagonal stitch which you can just see coming down here this
also might be known as the third loop so we have the front the back and then the
third loop so one two three you might hear it being referred to in
different ways but that is the stitch that we're going to work in and we're
always going to work into the back bar so just remember when we have the front
side facing us we're still going to be working into that back bar if you want
to you can mark your the front side of your work with a
stitch marker if you find that easier but I think you'll pretty much get to
grips with it as we start to build so what we're going to do here is yarn over
as if we're doing our half trouble but instead of going into the top two loops
here we're going to go into this diagonal back bar so underneath that
stitch yarn over and pull through and then yarn over pull through all three
loops on the hook now that tends to be the most difficult one to do because you
have to find where you're working into but what you'll find is as you do this
it automatically pushes that back bar up so you can just see it's starting to
poke out there so we're going to yarn over underneath that back bar yarn over
pull through and then yarn over pull through all three and you're going to do
this all the way along so one half treble crochet into each of the back
bars along this row so go ahead pause the video and I'll meet you back once you get
to the end of this row and I'll show you how to move on to Row 3 so I'm just now
at the end of this row and I just wanted to point out make sure that you're
counting your stitches so that you don't miss this very last stitch so I'm going
to go ahead and do my last stitch in there if you remember I did a foundation
chain of eighteen plus two so I will have 18 stitches in my work so this is
what the wrong side of the work looks like it's very flat and then I'm just
going to chain two for my next row and then this is the right side of the work
so you see this braided Ridge at the front that's exactly what we're looking
for so on the right side of the work this is where we're going to get the
pattern now that's really important to remember because we want to make sure
that we're pushing these stitches always to the right side of the work so this
next row is slightly more complicated remember we're still working in
to that back bar but we now have the right side of the work facing us so our
back bar is actually here so if I just turn it upside down we see this back bar
just there now it might actually be worth playing around with how you want
to do this because depending on how you hold your hook and your yarn you might
want to adjust this style to suit you but I'm just going to yarn over and just
turn my work on to the side like this so it's actually going from top to bottom
then I'm going to go under that back bar and then yarn over pull through and yarn
over pull through all three and just by holding my work like this it makes it
much easier for me to work into that back bar and it has the same effect so
I'm going to yarn over work under that diagonal back bar yarn over pull through
yarn over pull through all three again yarn over under that back bar yarn over
pull through and yarn over pull through all three so if I just hold this up but
you can see that it's pushing those stitches in the way that it should be be
coming forward so I'm just going to work my way all the way along this second row
so go ahead pause the video work those stitches and I'll meet you back in just
a moment okay so I've just worked my way all the way along that row I actually
have one more stitch remaining now you have two options here you could go ahead
and do your last stitch into that back bar if you wanted to however I find just
to make the edges a little bit more stable you can go ahead and just go into
the back loop of those top stitches so if we look at that V we're just going to
go into the back loop of that stitch and it just makes that very last stitch a
little bit more stable without ruining the
effect of the of the stitch itself so that's is the camel stitch so you're
going to repeat Row two and Row three so what you would do is just chain two turn
the work now you have the wrong side facing you so you have that back bar
facing you you would just go ahead and do your first stitch in there so I'm
going to go ahead and build a few more rows just so that you can start to see
what it looks like okay so I have now built a few more rows of this and you
can see how beautiful it's turning out it just creates this lovely braided
effect to your work or ridged braided effect I really hope that you have
