The Trinity Stitch, a one-row repeat, and a cat called Leroy the Hunter
Roz worked up the stitch while making a sample for an envelope border tutorial, and her viewers are already asking for that one.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Learn This Effortless Stitch in 10 Minutes! ⭐
"Learn This Effortless Stitch in 10 Minutes!" is a Trinity Stitch tutorial on Play Hooky with Me, the crochet channel whose about text defines playing hooky as escaping obligations "with a hook and yarn." It was the only new upload of the week, and it did the job: about 9,000 views on its first day and a little over 17,000 by the fifth.
The stitch itself is a simple one-row repeat built around three single crochets worked together. Roz bills it as reversible and quick, good for blankets, trivets, scarves and gloves, and she works it in a worsted cotton with a 5 mm hook, changing color at the end of each row. That color change is what makes the pattern show, as one viewer points out. Others say the stripes put them in mind of mint candy, or that it would use up leftover yarn nicely. One viewer notices how Roz holds her yarn and hook and is pleased to find someone who holds them the same way.
The last minute belongs to Tiggy, Indie and Leroy, whose chapter title calls him "the Hunter." Several commenters ask about a squirrel, and a few answer with stories of gifts their own cats once brought in.
Roz also explains that the stitch came out of a sample for a coming video on envelope borders, the trick that saves weaving in ends, and many in the comments say that is the one they are waiting for.
The channel ran a bit below its usual daily pace, and the subscriber count held steady. In the group of craft and art channels nearest its size, Clara Threads is having by far the biggest week, while Tracy Garcia and Danny Gevirtz moved at a gentler pace.

That is beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial! It would look very fun in white and red, like a row of mint candy. :D
@TeaAndFloppyDisksSee it on YouTubeHi, a big fan. This is a great stitch. I just noticed the way you hold courtyard and hook. I haven't ever seen anyone else hold their yarn the same way I do. I always felt I was doing it wrong. Thanks for making my day.
