    I can do as many stitches as are in the pattern. I may have to rip back a couple times, but I’m usually successful in the end.

    I’d say about 10, but I have only been crocheting since January. As long as the directions are clear I can do the stitch. It might take a few tries, but I don’t give up!

    Once I went through all the ones listed in the Happy Hooker, and never encountered one I couldn’t do. I’m great with all the technical stuff, but ask me to put it all together and make my own pattern, and I’m lost.

    I always enjoy learning new stitch patterns. I can do quite a few, but I couldn’t tell you the name of the patterns most of the time 🙂
    Put it in a pattern and I can follow it though.

    you know, I’ve never really stopped to count, but since I’ve been crocheting for 55 years and have never given up on a pattern because I couldn’t do a stitch, I guess if you print it I can do it. The only thing I can’t do is just look at a finished piece and copy it…I must have a pattern to follow!

    I figure I can do just about any stitch. I just watch you tube if I can’t figure it out from the notes in a pattern. I love the reverse crochet and the puff stitch. I dislike any stitch that has a lot of crocheting in a chain. Blech.

    Hi, I can follow a direction to do stiches but there are a few I can’t do because of holding the yarn too tight- example is the popcorn stich.

I would like to learn more stitches as I only know single I do not know any terms either. I can make a mean pot holder, blanket or scarf though! Hugs!~~
