Treble Crochet Stitch | How To Crochet for Beginners
You can always take advantage of the different colors to let you know where you stopped at, and also how many rows or sets of rows, you have done. I find them helpful when I'm laying something down for a while. PS-thanks for the bead idea. I use one of those white, plastic cases with little divisions in it to put different colors in so they don't get mixed up. it's easier to use one pink marker for every 10 rows while every 50th row would get red. makes things easier to count--especially on afghans!
@@karilynweidner3844 this is great! Thanks for sharing that. 💕
Love the way you end the row. Happy able to keep edges straight....thank and and I'm all in with stitch markers.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful for you.😁💕
Thank you for the pattern. Not my favorite stitch, though. 😉
@florencecathcart9588 awww. Hope you enjoy the pattern anyway.😁💕
Your cats are beautiful!
Thank you! 😊 💕
Got it. Thank you so much.
It goes too fast to figure out what you are using?
Nothing! Just tucked my phone into my shirt😂.
Really great tips! I wish I had heard them when I first started. I could have avoided so many mistakes! The first time I tried to crochet a scarf it kept getting wider and wider and i didn't know why! If I had been counting my stitches I could have avoided that. Thanks Leisha!
I'm so glad you liked the tips! It's so helpful to know if my tips/strategies resonate with other crocheters, so thank you for taking the time to share your experience with me.💕 Hopefully other beginners reading this are taking note of what you said.😉
👇I'm making my own scrunchy.🙏
Yay! Good luck!💕
Thank you.
This is just what I was looking for, thanks so much!
So glad to hear that! You're welcome. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment.💕
Looks lovely. But how do i make a button hole for button , to fasten the clutch?
Thanks for asking. So excited to answer this for you! For this, you have a few options. 1 is to just use a small button and push the button through the stitches, rather than making a hole in a set place. 2. Wherever you want the hole to be, skip those stitches and crochet a chain 1 above them. Then continue as normal. 3. Make a button loop at the end of your flap. You can look up how to do that on CZcams. Basically, you crochet a small chain and attach it to the flap. 4. Use the snap on buttons rather than the ones you need a hole for. That's the easiest option because you sew or glue the snaps on. And then add a decorative piece in the same place on the outside of the clutch flap. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have more questions.💕
It looks so soft!

Nope I wouldn’t add a thing, they’re all the great learning tools! My fave way to use them is when I’m making single crochet circles - it’s a must-have!
@thehookpusher yes! Ooo, that's a good one! They're so helpful when crocheting in a round or making circles.
I definitely struggle
Hopefully, these tips will help you have more fun, less struggling.💕
Hello Leisha, for your first live, you did a wonderful job. When I first started crocheting, I did have trouble when counting rows and finding the first and last stitch. This is a very helpful video for beginners. Congratulations on your first live. 🎉

Thank you sooooo much for this useful info video. I never realized. I'm going to watch this over to take notes (I'm 76 after all lol....thank you again.😂😂😂❤❤❤
@PamelaScarborough Oh, yay! So glad it was helpful for you. Thank you for the feedback! Let me know if you have any questions.💕
i use 6.5mm is okay???
@vietnga8202 Yes, that's absolutely fine! You can use what looks good and feels good to you. The bigger the hook the bigger and looser the stitches will be so you'll see more gaps. The smaller the hook, the tighter the stitches will be, with less gaps. 🙂💕
Too slow for me probably cause I’m not a beginner 😊
I'm older and have some arthritis so a bigger yarn was actually harder for me and made my hands ache. No. 4 is good for me.
That's good to know! Thanks for sharing. Doing what's most comfortable for you is always the best way to go.💕
Very well explained about the knots. Thanks.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting.🙂💕
