HELP! I have tried step 4 about 5 times and I still can't figure it out. It would be nice if you could slow the video down so I can see what's going on. Who knows, I may have gotten it right at one point, but I have no way of telling since I can't really see what the loop is supposed to look like. That being said, I just assumed I got step 4 correct and went on to step 5 and I'm lost again! It's probably just me, but some of us just need some thing spelled out for us. :P

Very Keri, I was just here checkin out the crochet videos and saw your comment. I noticed that no one responded to you. If you still need help let me know what exactly your stuck on and I'll try to help.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your offer. If you could post your own better version of this, that would be fabulous! I DID end up going to YouTube and found this nice lady that does wonderful instructional videos. http://youtube.com/user/theknitwitch I was able to learn and practice three different stitches in one night thanks to her. I revisited this video once again and still couldn't figure it out. I really do HEART ThreadBanger, but this instructable is lacking.

You know...I am sorry, but I just watched this video again and am confused myself. She calls it a four crochet but it looks like what she is doing is a treble/triple crochet. This video is crazy. Definitely not for beginners and quite frankly...anyone who can follow this probably already knows how to do it. Not quite sure what their thinking is. Sorry for the confusion Very Keri!!

I wish I had the capability of making and posting videos but I don't. If I follow you it sounds like you are able to do the circles but the petals trip you up. If you increased the second circle I am assuming that you know how to do more than one stitch in a stitch/hole. With the petals, you start off closing the second circle by doing that first single crochet. Then, move on to the next hole/stitch and do four quadruple stitches in that same stitch. Then in the next stitch do only one single crochet. Then in the next stitch do four quads again and keep doing that pattern all the way around. Here is a video for the quad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me-hOi3JoyQ This lady is a great teacher too. I hope that helps but if not, maybe you can be more specific about where you are confused. I really like this flower as it is simple. There are other flowers you can try and the lady who does the video I sent you has a couple of flower videos too. But they look different than this one. She has many videos. You should check them out. Take care!
