  • Crochet Tips And Tricks
    I'm sure you have seen a yarn guide ring online or in Etsy shops. No, you don't have to spend your own money to get one! In this tutorial, I will teach you the best crochet hack. I found my material at my local Dollar tree. All you need is floral wire to make this DIY finger yarn guide, and you can make several from one wire. I'll have more crochet tips and tricks coming to you soon.

    It only took me the length of this video to actually make this crochet ring guide! Thanks for being to the point! "Now let's see this bad boy in action" lol!

    This would be especially great for those who use the "scrubby" types of yarns. Thank you!

    • @LittlejohnsYarn
      @LittlejohnsYarn  Před 4 lety +2

      I never thought of that, that's a great idea!

    • @MamaTomasu
      @MamaTomasu Před 3 lety +2

      This is exactly why I was looking for a ring like this...crocheting scrubbies is scuffing up my index finger 😛

  • @nancyoleksy
    @nancyoleksy Před 4 lety +21

    I love this. Some times yarn can give you a blister or even a "rug" burn if it is rough. I will have to try this. Thank you for the idea.

    AWESOME BLOSSOM
    🎶Whoop Whoop🎶
    Have you noticed some people who crochet have the yarn wrapped around their little finger twice and the pointer finger 2 or 3 times? Good grief they have to keep pulling yarn for a mile to just do a couple single crochets. Terrible!
    I love your wire tutorial and will be making me one. Thank you♥️

  • @ShayShayChan
    @ShayShayChan Před 3 lety +13

    Brilliant. Thank you! I teach a CP child to crochet and holding the yarn in place was our greatest obstacle, I will create this and see how it works for her- hopefully this would do the missing bit

    Love this idea, I am left handed, but crochet like a right handed crocheter. This is so helpful.

  • @bellatrixblack469

    Im so glad I found this video! I was so ready to give up my beloved crocheting due to yarn burn but today I ran out and got the floral wire from dollar tree and made this ring. It works perfectly! Thank you for this! And you can't beat the price!

  • @suecrawford4265

    Since I use make jewelry, I have the wire and tools to make my own. So glad I found this.

  • @knottynaz
    @knottynaz Před 2 lety +2

    THIS was a finger saver AND a frustration ender!! I use the "closed hand" method for Continental Knitting. I have tried the Clover Brand tension guide ring but it doesn't work well on my index finger *PINCH* Making my own allowed me to find the correct finger for my type of knitting. BONUS for crochet work as well. Multitasker!

  • @christiewelty173
    @christiewelty173 Před 4 lety +42

    Great idea. I use sand paper or one of those soft nail files to smooth out the sharp edges it works great 😍🤗

      @LittlejohnsYarn  Před 4 lety +5

      @dawnkindnesscountsmost5991 Před 2 lety +3

      As a jewelry maker, I like and support this comment to the Nth degree! The ends of metal wire are SHARP after cutting, and no one wants to scratch themselves or snag their yarn on the sharp ends of wire. File both of those ends IMMEDIATELY after cutting the length of wire off of the spool, y'all! You won't regret it. ☮💖🧶

  • @jeancrochets
    @jeancrochets Před 4 lety +13

    I've been using this for a few days now after I saw your dollar tree haul and it is seriously a finger saver. Thank you so much!

  • @jackspence1

    @kimtowlun6959 Před 2 lety +4

    This is great! I just made two (a single and a double). I used a shiny, colorful metallic paper clip and it worked great! It looks just like yours but was a little stiffer to bend. Thanks so much for the idea and the humor you bring to your videos!

  • @TheKiwibirder
    @TheKiwibirder Před 4 lety +29

    I love your videos and I'm so glad I found your channel! Many other CZcamsrs could learn from you. Your videos get right to the point, and include just the right amount of instruction and repetition. Everything is clear and easy to understand, and nothing irrelevant is included. On some other channels the useful information tends to be buried within long videos full of unnecessary small talk and filler. Excellent work! Subscribed!

    • @LittlejohnsYarn
      @LittlejohnsYarn  Před 4 lety +8

    Cool hack. You can also cover the shape end with a plaster or (band aid in the US) to ensure it doesn’t scratch your skin when placing it on and off the finger. 👍🏼

    @libby6494 Před rokem

    Love it! I'm putting it on my list the next time I hit a craft store. In the meantime, I'm using a plastic stitch marker ("safety pin" style) and clipping that on my wedding ring and using that as my yarn guide. I'm currently working on a kitty sweater for my little special needs cat with thin fur using continental knitting. My DIY yarn guide is really helping me keep that yarn tension. But I definitely love your rings. I'd love one big enough for my thumb and index finger.

    This is AMAZING, thank you so much for sharing this!!! 🤩 Basically all of the women in my family are avid knitters or crocheters and I absolutely have to make one for each of them!! Good thing I found this a little before Christmas. I'll do some experimenting and maybe put a loop at each end, leave a bit of overlap with the ends, so the loops could be adjustable in diameter, too ... either for tension or smaller/bigger yarns.

    Oh my gosh, thank you for this awesome idea. I love it. The only thing is that I can't really crochet with my pointer finger pointing up/straight and it makes it a lil complicated. I will see if this helps somewhat. Now, I have to make a trip to dollar tree! Thank you, again!!❤

    • @ronnetteharvey2002
      @ronnetteharvey2002 Před 4 lety +4

      Male it for your wrist or ring finger. I'm sure there are other ways to wear it. Happy experimenting. Don't be negative stay positive. The rest of the answer will come if you don't let frustration get in the way.

    • @LittlejohnsYarn
      @LittlejohnsYarn  Před 4 lety +4

      Addy you can use it on whichever finger that naturally guides the yarn. Tinker with what feels right. Some don't like ring guides at all. Sound like your off to a fun Crochet Experiment 😉
