  • This video will demonstrate VERY SLOWLY how to crochet a single crochet stitch. I will also go over how to make a slip knot, how to hold your yarn and end your project. This is very similar to how to crochet in slow motion.

      Good for you Sue. Love that you are working to keep your brain sharp. I hate the saying, "Can't teach an old🐕 new tricks". I say excuses, excuses, they're like A-holes, we all have'em and they all stink! We should all try to continue learning no matter the age. God bless you 😘

    Today is the first time i went to my grandma’s house since she died over two years ago. I was totally overwhelmed by nostalgia and grief and love all mixed together. I found her old knitting basket and inside was a project that I had started with her over 20 years ago (a pot holder lol) that I abandoned because it was too hard for me. She saved my little scrap of messy yarn all these years 🥺❤️ I feel a longing in me to try it again in her honour and I have to say, this video was WONDERFUL! Perfect pace, easy to follow, and it touched my heart that you added in a tip from your own grandma about threading the needle ❤️ thank you so much for your time and guidance

    For all the people getting frustrated: I got stuck on the first row for MONTHS; I could do the first basic stitch but when it came to making the second row, I just kept getting stuck. Today, I gave it another shot and I finally managed to overcome that burden and now I'm on the way to my first actual project! Keep trying :)

Hand quilting takes forever but I love it. Now I need a challenge. I have been idle that is dangerous for me and my family. I have tried everything to learn this. I am telling you that from the moment I turned your tutorial on I learned that the back of the yarn tells me what needle to use! Your the 1st that showed this. I am so happy. Do you knit? I will do crocheting for a year or so master it then try knitting. I heard there is a ton of different stitches with crocheting. I want to thank you and so does my husband. He said that's the 1st time you didnt throw your yarn. Lmao. Thank you so much!

So GLAD this was in my feed today! This is it! I need look no further, FINALLY…! as it is SO time consuming! You have clarified questions I had as a beginner and really zoomed in to where one can actually see which hole to insert the crochet hook into instead of guessing at it and doing it half heartedly out of frustration. You demonstrated to beginners all the basics and essentials that we need to know to get started! For example; turning your project so that you can see the difference in both sides of the swatch and how to rotate the hook, then turning the fabric/yarn back up on the hook, tension, how to hold the yarn in other hand and more....just so much and again, you gave us EVERYTHING we need to know! I was getting so frustrated and aggravated so thank you a million times!!!! I’m looking forward now to finally start and complete, most probably, a scarf to start with!! Thank you again!!😊

    I have been trying to learn how to crochet for years but having watched this tutorial today and the way you describe and show how to start I am really looking forward to follow your programme.. I am due to retire and have been knitting for many years and do many other crafting projects along with sketching and painting. I have always wanted to crochet, now I can follow you and start learning, very clear instructions from you make it less daunting.

Most people do it so fast, that I can't get past the chain stitch, when I tried to learn years ago. I think with your excellent tutorial, Ill finally be able to learn. Thank you so much. I am in long-term care and have nothing but time on my hands, and I am getting bored making hats on my loom all day. I am excited to watch more of your videos and learn more stitches! You are an excellent teacher ❤😊❤

    Out of all people around me, who I wrangled into teaching me how to crochet, you’re the first to show the proper position of the hook, how you pull with it so that the thread doesn’t slip away.

I would have had to sit on her lap to gain the perspective your video provides, and I can watch over and over in order to get it right, without bothering anyone! Thanks again. I'll do some practicing on the single Crochet, then hit up some of your other videos once I've got the hang of the most basic stitch.

It’s 1:30 a.m. and this is my 99th time ripping up the chain and first row of single crochet. When I’m at wits end with trying to get off the ground with crocheting, I knit a few more rows onto my multi-colored winter scarf project. I’m considered a beginner knitter!

    Hands down best video to learn. Thank you so much for posting. I’ve been watching other videos all week and couldn’t make a single chain lol I just made so many watching this, so easily. there is a crucial step you verbally explain that other videos do not- when you are going to yarn over, you have to flip the hook down before you pull it through, which I was skipping completely, so it just kept twisting and not making the connection. So I finally did it. Onto the next step. Thank you!
