YYYEEESSS
I like to slow the videos down to half speed and do it with them. I’m half way through a stuffed unicorn and no breakdowns...yet 😂
Meeeee 😗
After having re-watched the same part eight times, I look through the comments and breathe a sigh of relief I AM SO NOT ALONE IN THIS. Phew. Thank you for your patience in making this for all of us. I will continue to keep watching it and making my hands move until I get it, then I will comment my success too!
no because me too I have watched the slip knot part about 10 times because I keep forgetting
😆 I'm struggling too! Nice to know someone started crocheting the day I did
Same I cannot chain because my fingers keep slipping and it just becomes a wreck!
@@zoraackerman1684finally learnt how to chain without it slipping! What about you?
Omg me also I can not get past the first pull I feel like a idiot
Hi! To anyone reading this who is really frustrated and want to quit ,I was there once. It may seem impossible at first but let me tell you, it really isn’t! You just need some patience and time and boom you’re an expert. As someone with neither any patience or time, I decided to pick up crochet as a hobby as I thought it was quite cool you could just make whatever you wanted. At first, I watched so many CZcams tutorials and was close to giving up. Despite putting away crochet many times, I always had hope that i could learn it. After about 3 weeks or so, something clicked. I went on CZcams and decided I was ready to make my first bunny. Yea sure, it was confusing and a big step up from just doing squares. However, I just kept trying and watching the video and I figured it out! It wasn’t great.. but it was definitely something. I was really proud and my family were so surprised that my hobby may have been my hidden talent. From then on, I became obsessed. I crocheted day and night and it was becoming a daily routine. I really enjoyed it. After a few months of crocheting, some people saw my work and asked if I sold it. I contemplated quite abit but decided to start my own business. I was so shocked by the amount of people who were willing to buy my stuff. I got many positive feedbacks and compliments. To whoever still reading this, please don’t give up on crochet. It can absolutely change your life. Don’t forget, I was like you once on CZcams rage quitting. I started with single crochet uneven squares to making bags, toys, cardigans, headbands. I learnt everything off of CZcams. Did I mention I started when I was 13? Im 15 now and crochet has changed my life. Shameless plug but I’m currently crocheting dog collars and using the money to donate to a pet organisation called hope dog rescue. It’s ok if you can’t purchase anything but a follow will help me tremendously. Instagram @bone_appetitt. Thank you to the person who read this long winded comment. I hope you continue your journey with crochet! Don’t ever give up!
You should make an Etsy account since you're only 15!! The possibilities are endless!! That's not a joke!!! Thanks for the inspiration. I'll keep trying!
Thank you for your comment! I'm not gonna lie, I've been contemplating quitting so many times! This really encouraged me to keep going!!❤
I just subscribed to your channel (I don't have insta so I can't follow u there 🙁). But as ur first CZcams subscriber, I hope you reach great places with ur love of crochet. I'm 13 rn and am trying to pick up crotchet to make a scarf for my mom. 😅
Thanks!! I was dying at first too. But slowly, I began to actually be able to do something. I started a couple days ago. (well I actually started a couple months ago but I quit because I was so impatient) I can make squares super fast, and this comment has inspired me to attempt to make an bunny.
I read the whole comment. Im 41 and learning now. I sit at my job all night doing nothing so i figured id learn. Its been a couple days. My father goes to the senior center and I asked him if I could go with him on sewing day and learn by watching someone. She showed me a few things and im guessing along the way. My problem is getting the hook into the next hole. So im here... Thats awesome, ill add you on IG.
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING I'M CRYING THIS IS SO HARD AND I'M SO STUPID
This is quite difficult to do, your not stupid. Do you think Van Gogh learned to paint overnight? No! It took years of practice to get that good. The trick is to try and try again. If you get frustrated, leave for ten minutes. Do something that makes you happy, or calm. Like meditating, listening to music, watching a lighthearted or funny video. Then come back, and try again
It's normal not to get a skill right away. You should really just practice making chains first. For as long as it takes to get the motion down pat of getting the hook through and a keeping a good tension. Then move on to other stitches.
i'm never trying again💀
My hook isn't catching my yarn. Incredibly frustrating. We can do this
I GOT IT

I have bought a bought teach my self to crochet. Watch a 1000 videos . Everyone e is to fast terrible teachers . Till I came across you thank God . My adhd understands your directions. Your so clear and you take your time . Thank you I was beginning to cry when I found you. Thank you so mucj
Exactly the perfect tutorial
Mine too!! Debating on whether I'm feeling brave enough to make an attempt.
@@monicaclayton4185Did you make the attempt yet? I am about to take the plunge 😂 I have to get some supplies.
exactly so perfectly I have watched 3000 videos
No disrespect to the lovely young woman in this video but there are others that go slower. Lol I'm headed back to them as I'm TRULY picking these things up for the very first time in my life.
Even eight years later, you're still teaching others (me) how to begin. Thank you, from all of us
Me too
😮😮😮😮😮😮
me: a nursing student who can insert IVs and do intricate wound care
also me: cant do a simple crochet stitch
Did you try other tutorials? Did you try using a light color yarn you can see well? I just completed this and while I did fine, it's only because I already knew how years ago. She does something kind of funny when she breaks down the yarn over or hooking the yarn that makes it seems much more complicated. My hook doesn't face the same direction and change as many directions and I hook the yarn just fine.
@@ivygreenj oh yeah im good now lol im making a sweater
@@CHoferxox omg thats amazing how is it goingg?
@@olehoyen its going! i made a couple headbands, half of a blanket (need more yarn) and now starting a sweater! this vid helped after i watched it like 12 times 😂 thanks for
asking!
@@CHoferxox oh wowww.. i just ordered my yarn a few minutes ago and im going to start tomorrow ⛄️ so excited but a little scared after reading the comments of how hard it is 😭
My girlfriend laughed, when I said that I want to crochet while she watches netflix. I am white straight male over 30 whose hobbies are martial arts and videogames and I work in logistics. I want to crochet something for my rats. Like a bed in their house. Thank you for tutorial. 👍
You’re cooler than me
This comment is honestly the best thing hahaha
Your goal is perfection
this is the best comment i’ve ever seen
Very cool. Love a man who thinks of his pets and wants the best for them! You go
I have been watching crochet videos for 4 days and I had decided to take up on a new hobby this year, I know this will be hard at first but I am determined to do this
I've been knitting for years and recently started trying to learn to crochet. This is the best slow tutorial I've seen yet.
3:35 “now we are going to learn how to do a single crochet” me: that wasn’t it? 👁👄👁
If you are having trouble I recommend “hooked by robin” I know it can be hard but it just needs practice :) she’s a CZcamsr
Omg this commment made me laugh so hard I choked because I said the same thing and the emojis didn’t make it no better 😂🤣😭
I was so proud of myself then that part came up😭
SAME
lol i am actually not comfotable using crochets for knitting so i use pen nibs
"the test isnt that hard"
the test:
😂
Ugh
Lmao
for me it's easy 👍🙏📍🦄🇲🇲
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm 71 years old and still trying to learn how to crochet. This is one of the best videos I have seen for beginners!
You started my crochet journey 3 months ago. I'm addicted now and came back to tell you thank you
Watching this video
My brain: EASY! DO IT!
Hand: SERIOUSLY?
same issue with me!
My hand don't wanna work!!
Same here😂😂
Especially if you are left handed!
I recommend “hooked by robin” I know it can be hard but it just needs practice :) she’s a CZcamsr
My new year resolution for 2023 is to learn crochet. I've been wanting to learn since I was a teenager and now I'm 50 :)
Watching your video motivated me. It is my first step into learning and because I believe I can do it, tomorrow I'll go buy the yarn and hooks ❤️
Me too! We got this
Beginner as well and I'm trying so hard to do the second step hopefully i can get it i don't have patience but this year i want to try and give it my all
Me too. Just about to buy some starter kit. If you find any useful links or youtubers please share 😊
me too!!! we’re gonna get so good at it
Same here!! I'm just starting today. Let's all do our best. We can do ittt!!!
Just received my beginner box, plenty of starter materials. I have found my tutor home. Started the simple knot and just repeating the starting moves, after 20 minutes of watching and restarting, the movements are becoming more fluid, memory muscle. I will stay on this hook and pull through until its very comfortable, then restart the tutorial. Im a 50 year old male in North Carolina, USA. I always watched my grandmother do anything home maker and was always in awe of how she made all these wonderful things. I would rather do this and read than be online tik toking, or watching tv. Put the tech down and learn something new as often as possible that can add to your life and others.
I want to thank you soo very much for teaching me again. I knew when I was a teenager in 70s but of course, now I'm in my 60s. Am replacing smoking with crochet. Am sure I'll watch over n over. Thank you soo much!!
The amount of times I've had to replay this video..
😂🤣
im 100th like
SAME😭🤚🏻ITS SO DIFFICULT
Haha. Join the party!
if you're struggling with the starting knot I recommend watching another video
I tried it this way and it just didn't work for me
me: *finish’s one stitch*
also me: i think i’m ready for my frog hat
That's me
Literally me
നിങ്ങളുടെ നല്ല സുഹൃത്ത്
lmao u got me cracking up, lol same here
Yes lol
i learned to crochet this time last year. i started with this tutorial and i couldn’t be happier with my decision! it was confusing and at times frustrating but crocheting has truly been such a wonderful addition to my life. wishing all those whose new year’s resolutions are to learn to crochet the best luck on your journey ❤
i can knit but i cant crochet. excuse me whilst i sit down and cry because i can only make clothing and not anything fun
edit: i can now crochet :)
edit: i have crocheted a cardigan, a top, a giraffe, a frog, plant pot covers, a rabbit, a chicken, a bandana, a hat, a pig, a bee, a sheep, a duck, a tiger, 2 shirts and a monkey.
Congrats 👏😭
I thought knitting and crochet are the same😩
@@keru835 i think with knitting you use two sticks right? 😟
LITERALLY
Looking forward to making a hat without DPN's!!!!!
The amount of times I had to take a break before I lost my temper with this is astounding. Lol
Still working on it, but it tests my patience for sure.
I'm so glad I came to read the comments! I was ready to give up and now I see I'm not the only one who watched the same thing 10 times and still struggle. I'm not giving up!
pls we’re all crying bc we can’t crochet 😭 don’t give up, it’s hard when you get confused. just keep trying. you can do it :)
not to be that one person but this is definitely the most likes i've ever gotten, thank you so much!
No I’m annoyed I can’t crochet 😩
thank god i’m not the only one
How you doing now can u crochet it’s been 2month since u wrote this ? 😭
I did it after 20,000 years
WILL YOU SHUT YOUR MOU- your right I can’t do it
I have a tip for anyone struggling that really helped me. Practice just the chain stitch for a long time, I did it for like an hour and a half while watching a show. Do the chain until you get your tension right and get used to holding the yarn, then you can do single crochet easily!! I also made a chain with 5 different methods of holding the yarn and compared them to see which method worked the best for me.
ok tysm i’m getting so frustrated trying to keep up with the video and do this at the same time
Thank you! This will surely help.
Tysm, I’ve been getting so upset that my chains have been so tight or too loose this is really going to help me
my mom says that too
Just starting to learn crochet here too, watching episodes of Chopped (edit: Pioneer Woman is another great show that's more relaxed) while practicing chain stitch at the same time, so we're getting cooking inspiration while at the same time also getting in crochet practice: multitasking to the max! (Haha)
Do your best, everyone! Everything and anything is always possible 🙂
I am the most uncoordinated person ever, tried to learn for years and now finally someone who shows it over and over and explains where needle should face. Made a few mistakes on the second row etc but unravelled and just kept trying. Amen thank you
Thank you so much! I am a beginner and whenever I can't understand the basic stitches in any tutorial, I come back to your beginner friendly videos. Thank you so much for making these❤
Hello everyone! Just wanted to jump in here to encourage everyone and let everyone know when I first began crocheting I couldn't even read instructions! But now I can make anything! And it really does get easier once you get the hang of it, and please don't be too hard on yourselves! As far as the stitches go if you start out too tightly get a bigger hook and if you start out too Loosely use a smaller hook! It's really easy Once you understand, it gets easier as you go along and yes it is tough to grasp in the beginning, because your brain is trying to learn something new LOL! However once you patiently continue to do it and don't give up and practice a little more each day, and just relax it will be fun. so, make it fun it! And think of how wonderful it is that you're learning something new!
Thanks! Now I feel a bit better and a bit more confident my crotchet skills will improve ☺
thank you :)
?
Thanks, I think the hook that came with my yarn is too small. It's a 4. It's so hard to get the yarn through the loops, the hook keeps getting stuck. Will have to wait until my hook set arrives next week. Then I can use a much bigger one to practice correctly. As it is now, the loops are so tiny, I can barely get the hook through and I keep losing my yarn. Pretty sure this isn't how it's supposed to go!
@HRH. PRINCESS I JUST BOUGHT MY HOOKS AND YARN TODAY IM READY TO LEARN
4 years ago I watched this video, after my grandma who crochets said I couldn’t ever learn. Nowadays I teach her new patterns, crochet remains one of my favourite hobbies. I just wanted to come back and say thank you, this video changed my life.
Hi
Very sweet of you. ❤
HOW DID YOU MANAGE?? I CANT DO A CHAIN AND IVE TRIED 86 TOMESS😭😭
@@Pegsta I got 2 ppl in my household watching these vids constantly and try learn the skills.
@@Pegsta my bestie gave me yarn and the stick type thing there Using idk crochet? now I’m tryna learn
😂
Hi! I'm glad found your channel. I crocheted years ago but had forgotten. I have a grand daughter now and am looking to make her a blanket! I miss crocheting but needed the 'refresher' course and I thank you for this! Just watching this one video brought it all back to me. Thanks again!
Thank you! I have watched several videos on crocheting and yours is the first that actually had good images and explanations of what you were doing. I was finally able to do my 2nd chain!
I just wanted to say that I am an 82 year old man who took up crotchet many many years ago as a holiday pastime, by following a Patons booklet called ‘first steps in crochet’, belonging to my mother. I found it much easier and quicker than knitting. My favourite was to crochet baby matinee coats . But then life took over and I let it slide. Now I’m back since I rashly promised my grown up granddaughter a pair of mittens for Christmas. So I’m having to relearn the skills. Thankfully there are lots of very clear books and CZcams videos like this one to help. My reason for writing is to encourage more men to take up this hobby. Once you’ve mastered the process it is very relaxing and I haven’t had anyone mock me for doing it - mind you I am a sturdy specimen.
If you like crocheting baby clothes you should get in touch with your local hospital. Wehn premature babies are born they need warm clothes so some hospitals accept donations of hats, cardigans and booties. I've found them to be a good way to keep up my skills without anything going to waste
Thank you Amelia for telling me that. If I get back to my former level I will give it serious consideration but at the moment I am struggling more than I thought I would!
i'm a 14yo learning to crochet to make my cat a sweater :)
Such a noble thought Amelia... I will keep this in mind.. Stay blessed🌹
Stay blessed Brian 🌹
I will edit this everyday to see how well i learn to crochet.
Day 1. I learnt how to chain and made a braclet out of chain stitches
Day 2. I learnt how to do a single crochet! ( in the morning )
Day 3. I am getting better at doing single crochet!
Day 6: ( Sorry I forgot to update it.) I can now crochet a square! Tysm!
Hello a update I have been crocheting for a while now and I can do so many different stitches. I'm working on a sweater now!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Another update I finished the sweater and have made a beanie!
congrats!
thats so cool!
cool
t
update? 😦
Everyone is saying that this was really hard but for me this definitely nice and I didn’t find it that difficult , i am also a beginner and this is my first ever chrochet and it turn out to be ok !! It was as a great tut !!❤❤❤
Edit: by the way i am not even using the hook and just made one by myself with a hanger 😅
Thank you so much, Ive been struggling to crochet, and everyone says its easier than knitting, no its not. I love to knit. Your video has helped me, thank you. South Africa
For anyone having a hard time (like I was) keeping your rows the same amount of chains and symmetrical, hold the yarn really loose and do very little tension so the loops are bigger. It makes it so much easier to learn that way! Even using a hook that’s a little bit bigger too. I finally am getting the hang of it now
this was great advice thank you!! i was starting to get frustrated lol
Thank you for this advice! 😊
Thank you for the advice!! I was definitely having this issue
I'm still frustrated and can't figure out how to make bigger loops without it falling apart
@@DeityoftheRain have you tried a bigger hook? 😊
evryone: crochets something amazing
me: crochets a a huge line and being proud
same
Aaa that's meeee
lol SAMEEE
Something to be truely proud of my friend! :D
Some people don't even know how to do that. (I'm some ppl) lol
Be proud of what you have accomplished no matter how big or small! Keep up the good work!!
I wanna learn crochet soooo muchhhh!🤩 I HOPE WE ALL MAKE ITTT!!!🫶🏻
we really need to encourage ourselves!😭🌼🌷
Is anybody having the same problem where when I do a single crochet instead of the parts that I crocheted going in a line it curves and connects two parts to my chain Stiches and forms a circle??
Update: I figured out why, it’s because after you pull through both loops you insert your hook into the biggest V, which undoes the Stich you just made. You are supposed to insert ur hook into the one below the biggest V.
Video: has happy cherry music
Me: getting angry with a ball of yarn
Like a cat?
Lmao!
CHERRY
Lol
Haha!! Same!
Can't tell if this is hard or I'm just stupid, probably just me.
Its really harddd
Hard for beginners, when you get the hang of it, it's really easy. Keep Going!
No, its difficult on the first try. Its even still a bit difficult for me 4 months later, but I got better. Its okay to admit that youre still in practice. Youre not slow
Don’t be discouraged. Just keep practicing
It’s hard
I know it's a 8 years old tutorial but this is a godsend!!! I have a really hard time following instructions for manual crafts and have been stuck at the beginning because my yarn would slip off the hook every single time. It was frustrating and I was ready to give up trying. Your left/right directions and the way you hold the hook, as well as showing the process again, helped massively and I managed to make a chain 😭 I could cry right now. I want to make blankets for my pets and to donate to the local shelter and I'll be following your tutorials to get better. Thank you so so much 💕💕💕
Restarted crochet after 16 years!! Thank you for your tutorial. It made it super easy for me to follow along :)😊
Thank you for this! My mom began a large crochet blanket with her grandmother 20-25 years ago, but she died 13 years ago and they never finished it. I was named after her,(my great grandmother) and I thought it would be cool to learn how, but I literally have never have done crochet ever, so this is really helpful! Hopefully after a while of practicing I’ll be able to finish the blanket :)
This is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
aww gl!!
You go boy or girl
Update: after undoing a few stitches on the blanket, I’ve figured out what the stitch is. So far I can’t find what it’s called, or if it’s an official stitch, but I can *finally* finish it and it all started here 🤍
Basically the stitch was like a double crochet, you get three loops on your hook, but instead of pulling through 2 and then 2 again, you pull through all 3.
Don’t know if that makes sense lmao, thank y’all for all your support
Update! It’s called a half double crochet 🤍
@@kineticcomedian3874 oo
Day one: cries, throws phone, punches stranger
Week 3: I made a smol socks/pouch..?? 😭😂
I'm so happy.
2 years later: ok guysss!!! i stopped practicing after a month or two and picked up my hook and yarn after 2 years and now i can crochet (kinda 🤣) i tried crocheting the famous cat ear beanie and it turned out quite okay 🥹
Day one : cries, throws phone, hits head off wall, trying not to kms ☺️
I swear I just cried but seeing this made me laugh like crazy😂

CONGRATS!! 💕💕✨
Hello! It’s been 4 months and I’m wondering how has it been! I bet your doing really good!
I WAS SO SCARED IT WAS GONNA BE SO HARD AND THAT I WOULD GIVE UP BUT YOU MADE IT SO EASY AND YOU MADE IT SO CALMING THANK YOU!!! And this is so fun omg
I am ao determined to get this. I am watching, rewinding, watching again, putting rhe video down to gwt rhe hang of just making one decent looking chain, fetting the muscle memory down of how to use the hook...
I bought one of those little plush toy crochet kits because I hear that is a really good way to learn.
I will learn how to crochet and crochet well if it's the last thing I do!
I haven't touched a crochet hook in almost 50 years, and even back then I only did berets, because I gave up on creating a straight line, and just did increasing circles until I had the width I desired, then decreased until it would fit my head. It was fun, easy, but not what I wanted to do. My crochet tutor of the time always went too fast and never really explained things clearly. In this one video you have elucidated the biggest mystery that haunted my early attempts - I was missing that extra chain at the end!!!!! Now that I am retired I foresee getting back into crocheting finally, and I am going to be visiting your videos a lot!
That's amazing!!!
How have you been doing with crochet?
I was hoping to start up again after many years. I am 65 now and have arthritis real bad. I am determined to pick it up again. Tired of television shows and reading. Too much online stuff too.
@@jacquelinesmith3375 good luck :D
@@tia4108 you too. Good day!
I want to say how good you are at teaching me this. I can hardly wait to get going. I'm practicing with some yarn I already have but want to use cashmere. After watching both of your videos I went to two other people to ingrain it all in My mind and realized you are so much better with your illustrations. Thank you very much.
This was a great video, it taught me quickly that j dont have the patience for crochet. Life is to short to get irritated in under four minutes. To every one with more patience then me, i wish you all the cute fluffy projects.

BIG football player Rosie Greer started knitting decades ago and showed off his skill on a television talk show. My mom (bless her memory) was of German heritage and she said that when she was a child knitting was considered a man's activity among the old Germans. Some cultural "norms" are rather silly, aren't they?
I am determined to learn how to crochet by 2024! Since a child I can always remember being so fascinated by the skillful technique one has learned to put together a blanket and all sorts of clothing etc... I will be turning 50 years old in January expecting my first grandchild due in March of 2024! Better late than never! I am really hoping to to one day master such a skill.
Forget about mastery and focus on getting projects done and I'm sure before you even notice it you'd have become proficient. Good luck on your journey and congratulations on your expected grandchild :)
Goodluck on your journey and congratulations on your coming grandchild ♥️ Wish u all the best!
@@annotes7785 Thank you for leaving such a kind comment! Very much appreciate all that you’ve said!. Happy Holidays!
@@nanarmushyan2351good luck but.. you may not be able to do it. I’m still stuck on double crochet. I just cannot do it. I hope you can..
@@Linkiful-Animator We don’t need that kind of talk. We need encouragement. I think you can do it, it just takes time.
This suggestion is from my crafting teacher but this girl in my class helped me, without her and the video I would be falling hard, hopefully I can finish!
Omg thank you! My friend recently started teaching me and she got me set up making great chains etc and taught me single stitch but this was super helpful in helping me fully understand and actually make clean looking stitches! I'm so happy with my little square 😭💕
Omg reading everyone's comments on how hard this is just killed my confidence! She definitely does make it look easy, let's see how this goes....may or may not report back, depending on results:)

THANK YOU!!! I DID IT!! I've never understood crochet. I've tried years ago, failed, got frustrated, and then gave up. I decided to give it a try one more time. It took a few hours of trying and starting over (my error because I kept loosing count), I got it. I'm so happy. I'm gonna make a bunch of them, sew them together, and make a pillow!
Thanks for the tutorial. Picked this back up after 29 years and this was very helpful.
For other new people finding this difficult, It took me about 5 weeks of trying to finally make this same square. It's not as perfect, but it took me a long time to figure it out. I'm really glad I kept trying, even though it was difficult for me.
no one like a showpff
@@stevengandhi5273 shut up
@@stevengandhi5273 They aren't showing off. They are explaining to people that it may take a while before they are finally able to make something. It is reassuring to people who feel like they aren't getting it and that they won't ever be successful. That should have been completely obvious.
@@stevengandhi5273 dude wtf
Thank you so much for the encouragement!
These comments made me feel whole again after crumbling down trying to make my hands do anything they are supposed to. Thanks y'all :D
Hello Emily
Hi Emily, am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find you attractive and interesting I don't know if I could get a reply from you so we can get to know each other more and thank you 👍
How are you doing
@@jaymorrison9414 could you stop hitting on random women on the internet that's really creepy
@@seuono I agree 👍 🤣🤣
Finally!! I’ve finished the square today! It was so hard doing it, it took me half a year. Thank you for this tutorial, this one helped a lot, among the other tutorials I watched!💗✨
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has to replay the video 1000 times and still doesn't get it
Everyone: Harry styles cardigan
Me: wanna make a blanket that I’ll pass on to my kids someday 👁👄👁
i’m just trynna make sum animals is all and I have no clue what the contents are referring to lmaoo
@@cheyennecrosby203 LOL SAME IM NOT VERY GOOD, BUT IM GETTING THERE
I’m tryna make a jellyfish lmao
bro that’s exactly why I’m learning 😭 something about crochet blankets seem so cozy to me
@@cheyennecrosby203 same lmao I want something cuddly😭
The watch time on this video must be insane from all of us going back and rewatching steps like a billion times
I had to slow it down to half speed lol
@@BrandinskiJ same
I finally get it. Your video finally showed me that when we go under that braid, we hook the string to pull ONLY under the braid first, leaving me with the two loops on the needle, and then I hook the string AGAIN to pull through the two loops, then repeat! For some reason I never understood that before your video and would make some weird amalgamation 😅
I have learned so much from your tutorials! You explain the steps so clearly! That’s so much for helping this 50+ lady learn how to crochet 😊
I haven't even started and I'm already crying
Me rn
Why is it so hard
I’m like 8 and I feel like I’m dying from it
Lolz me too
people are talking about how they got past the 3rd row and its so hard but i cant even get through the first fucking minute
I recommend to newbies( I am one too) that knowledge of other types of working with yarn help significantly. For me it was finger-knitting and making a chunky blanket. It really laid a foundation for me. Also, I found that using a bernat baby blanket yarn makes it not only easy to hold but also that it’s easier to see. Happy crocheting!
You've got such a sweet spirit. It's my first time watching your video, but I could just tell you have a beautiful disposition. Thank you for the patient tuition. I will be using your video as my beginner's go to video❤
Wow! This was 9 years ago? I hope you're well and still doing videos❤

struggled for a few mins but i finally remembered the steps. it looks messy and wonky tho but i did it!! thanks a lot for making this video ❤ even after 9 years, your video still helps a lot of people.
Omggg I needed this!! My mom got me an amigurumi set and it came with instructions but it was sooo confusing! I prefer to learn the basics like you taught and then have that set as a goal. Thank you very much, you're a great teacher!
i’m glad reading the comments that i’m not the only one struggling. she makes it look so simple!!
I have super shaky hands so i feel your pain 😭
Two and a half years ago, I watched this video probably 50 times before I figured out how to start. Today, I'm getting a friendly push to open my own etsy shop. Thank you for getting me "hooked"!
Awesome
That’s pretty kewl. I cringe at the end tho 😬
What's the name of your Etsy shop?
@@rubyvisionn well I cringe at your use of "kewl"
Oh wow the puns
HIZ NINE YEARS LATER AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS. VERY INFORMATIVE. I LEARNED THE CHAIN WITHIN A FEW MINS. I WILL TRY THE OTHER TECHNIQUE SOON. I AM RE-LEARNING BC MY DAUGHTER'S WANT TO LEARN. MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME GROWING UP AND I'VE COMPLETELY FORGOT WHAT WAS TAUGHT. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE VIDEO.
Practice practice and put it away when frustration sets in. 😅 You are a good teacher. ThankYou!!
Guys you will improve 😭 I've been trying it for a bit of time each day and after a few days of raging and crying I've finally got the hang of it 😌 just take a break and try again :)
Which hook was easier for you the 5mm or 5.5 😭
@@munakamal1040 5mm!
I'm a COMPLETE BEGINNER and this tutorial has been INCREDIBLY HELPFUL! tysm :))
Here are the time skips:
Slip-Knot( 0:52 )
Hold for hook and yarn( 1:16 )
Chain stitch( 1:53 )
Single Crochet( 3:22 )
Starting another row( 5:24 )
Redo-ing stitches( 6:24 )
Weave ends( 6:46 )
TYSMMMMM
Ty😊
Thank youu
Why would people need these? Just watch the video normally.
same
This one awesome! You did a great job at teaching. I messed up so many times but finally made a swatch / patch. I feel so proud of myself lol anyway thank you!!
I went to hit like on this because I am reminding myself of the basics after walking away from the hobby for a few years and realize that I hit like on this when I started crocheting six years ago. Thanks for the video!
Why is this literally the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to do 😂😭😭 My brain isn’t comprehending how easy this should be.
I'm that stubborn determined girl who had to start over more than 10 times already but I know learning crochet is worth it so I'm not giving up :>>
Edit: I don't consider myself a pro but I am definitely better at crocheting now. I even already sold some of my works. Never give up!
That's the spirit! Me either!
i started learning when my materials came. i watched this tutorial and had a kindle sleeve in less than 48 hrs. thank you for this tutorial, OP! i'm currently making a pouch for my phone, and my next project is a tote bag. only simple stitches tho haha
I like how this tutorial doesn't over encumber you with information, and explains the reason for every motion unlike other tutorials, while going at an easy pace. Very well done, thank you for this! I've been struggling to figure out how to even bring the first loop into the slip knot until now. 💖
Yes, this is the best tutorial I've found. Thanks!
:)
i’m on the younger side and lately i’ve been wanting to learn to crochet to make some money. i’ve seen a lot of really successful little crochet plushie businesses and i really want to start my own!
But, she goes so fast
I'm finally figuring out how to move past the slip knot lol thanks to this tutorial.
Me: getting mad
Also me: trying to use a pencil and a paper clip as my crochet hook
🤣🤣

Lol
Lol
My grandma gave me one
My first try looks a mess
I'm using the wrong hook. This is what I use to crochet my hair for a protective hair style😂😂😂
You are a good teacher
I will be rewatching until I get it right...
I am going to get the correct hook
This was probably the best tutorial I have seen because you did everything slowly and actually showed us how to crochet instead of expecting us to know what a “single crochet” was 😔✊
