Underrated
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for doing this. So very helpful.
All of them are useful for perfect experience of crochetting and for quality projects..
I have been crocheting for 50 years and you have taught me so much in such a clear and succinct way. And can I just say, anyone who does a thumbs down is ridiculous. You do a wonderful job and I appreciate the great editing and clear camera work.
The tip about joining in the round! So simple but my mind is blown. Thank you!
me too
after i do the fountain stich would i double crchet into the 'v' e=immediately after or four stiches down
Loved your tips! I've crocheted for over 60 years and learned some new things just by watching this. You're very good at explaining where to put your hook in, etc. I love clear instructions that also use the correct terms. It also helps those that don't know the correct word to learn it. I've been seeing some call crochet knitting or hooks needles and it drives me crazy!
just don’t look at the dislikes of a youtube video idk why people do that
I'm an old crocheter, yes I'm old and I've been doing it since my grandmother taught me as a child to challenge me and keep me entertained, I was about 5 or 6. She taught me with crochet thread and a very thin steel/metal crochet needle. Did lots of baby blankets for my friends, my two kids and my grandson and my daughter's friends' babies.
I loved your beginners video, not only did it remind me of when I taught myself (say taught cause my grandmother did not live here in USA) and growing up did not have CZcams, Google, or video calls. I come from the encyclopedia, book learning world (70 Yrs). But I want to thank you for making this video for the beginners that wish to learn this old beautiful art of crochet. You explain so easy and I learned how to keep those edges straight today, and refresher course on weaving the ends, I don't like that part and always looking for new ways. OK this got long, please keep those videos coming. Thank you, ALMEDIA.
Am 76, been crocheting since younger years. Even design some of my own stuff and some new stitches here and there. Watched this video and had a big DUH!! moment. Girl where have you been all my life....luv your tips n tricks....why didnt I know some of that by now? Haha great stuff really appreciate your presentation snd level of knowledge. Thank you for info that I should have figured out by now!
My grandma auntie would come down every year when I was a little girl. Every year she would bring me yarn and needle and every year I would tell her auntie Melida I just cant do this....her reply would all ways be just keep trying my dear and you will get it. Sadly she passed on before I could show her my first blanket. I have since crochet baby blankets and donated them in her name. Sadly I stopped due to an unforeseen family tragic event. Do to covid and adhd I have started crocheting again. I dont know what it was about your video that brought tears and the great experiences I had with Auntie M but I just wanted to say thank you and God bless
I'm so sorry for your loss. You are a lovely soul, and I know your auntie is so proud of you
Your aunt is an angel who protects and inspires you. God blesses🎈❤️
She has that ancient energy that makes you feel wonderful inside. Ohhh how your auntie will be watching you,,, loving every minute. Hugs

Wow. Thanks. You are a real organizer.😚
Thank you. Great job 👏
Than you!!
Thank You. All I kept thinking while watching was... This desperately needs time stamps. Awesome video.
Thank you
I was originally taught how to crochet by an older German lady about 50 years ago and she was very strict about certain things, bless her. Except that you are much younger and way more personable, you have taught me more than anyone else since her.
Brand new beginner here... I want to extend my DEEP appreciation for your clear and concise explanations, demonstrations, AND your WONDERFUL easy to listen to voice!!! It's calming and GREAT!!! I appreciate you! Thank you!
If you're a beginner you are so fortunate to have someone like her to start you out
I'm a training developer, so I write content for a living, and the clear and concise instructions in this and her other videos make me WANT to learn from her! Outstanding instructions!
Fave tip - how to avoid holes at the ends of the row.
Same. That’s why I clicked on the video 😃
Me too!!!!!
Same with me.
Mine too
Me too, & I’m not a new crocheter. Getting straight edges on dc edged pieces is just not something I’ve managed to do consistently, when it does work out right, I still don’t know why, what is it that I’m doing differently? Drives me crazy!
I stopped and said “WHAT” or “THAT IS SO SMART” approximately 25 times during this video
Ditto! Of course, I now had to bookmark this video to my favortie places! ;-)
😂😂❤️
That was me too! Very useful!
ME TOO HAHA
So did I. Great ideas!
I learned to crochet around two years ago and remember watching this video at the time and I'm so thankful because, like a duckling, my baby-crocheter brain imprinted on you as its mama and I always hear your voice with these tips and they haven't failed me. Weird thing to say but your lovely voice lives in my head as 'the' rules of crocheting!
That way of joining the ends of a chain has purified my soul
I've been crocheting for almost 50 years, and I learned some valuable tips today that I never thought of. Thank you!
Wow 50 years? U must be amazing
I learned soooooooo much!
Same here! I had several "Ah-ha!" moments! I'm adding this video to my "Favorites" so I can refer back to it.
I did, too ! I taught myself in July 1971. I learned a lot from this video.
@@patwagner9308 you and I started crocheting at about the same time. I taught myself that year (leftie, nobody around who could teach me) as a summer activity, because I was bored. I found I really loved it.
When you did the invisible join on the granny square I literally gasped! Great tips, I'm not a complete beginner, but I've been trying to increase the quality of my work and deepen my understanding of crochet patterns, all of these tips were really helpful! thank you so much!
Me three!
I've read most of the replays and I absolutely agree with everyone. I certainly learned a bunch of great things. It's the first time I've watched you but you definite got my like and subscribe to all. Cant wait to see more. If you could go a little slower for us beginners it would be great. But if not I'll just back up and watch again until I get it. Lol. I'm a little old now. Thanks so much.
@@annelawler6180 I second that slow down a little please
I was flabbergasted when I watched this video. I have lots of books showing all kinds of goodie hints and tricks, but I have never seen
A seem less join that was really seem less.Thanks for your pod casts, I am totally a big van of yours. You have a professional, yet very friendly
Good friend way. Thanks for all your time and hard work, it is very much appreciated.
I learned that stitch a while back when doing a mandala blanket and it was revolutionary. I can't not use it now. Once you learn that stitch and the standing joining stitch, you simply can't go back to the old way.
I was taught to crochet almost 50 years ago so some will take a bit of time to get use to but the joining granny squares is by far my favorite, it’s so easy!! Love it!
I have been making prayer squares for years and when you showed the beginning circle join, the double crochet instead of the chain 3 to start the next row, then(!) the invisible ending! Wow! I feel SO Blessed to have found your channel. Thank you for the clear, concise instructions.
My favorite tip was how to prevent adding or losing stitches while crocheting from one end to the next. I'm a beginner and I have taught myself to crochet by reading a how to paperback. Videos are new to me and wonderful. I'm 72 years old and now that I'm retired I have time to devote to a long time desired craft skill I always wished I could do. You're never too old to learn! Thank you so much for the tips. I have stored them on my smartphone for future reference. Are you still giving away the beginners gift pack you mentioned? If so please put my name in the hat.
Me, after 9 years of crochet: I'm gonna know all of this stuff.
Me, after this video: how did I not know, like, ANY of this?
Same! I was like 😮😯😲 "That's so smart!"
Same here. I only knew 2 of those tips!!
Oh my gosh! SAME!!!
hahaha that was me too!!!
UsttstitaittdoIdo
These tips are great! I do also wanna add this for people making amigurumi projects:
When making single crochets, do an “x” stitch instead of a classic “v” stitch. Basically, instead of wrapping the yarn clockwise on the first step, go counterclockwise. This will help mitigate holes in your projects if they’re problematic with “v” stitches
Your work area is so lovely.
Organized.
Clean.
Tidy.
Neat.
I'm quite enamored.
Love these tips. I’ve been crocheting since I was 18, I’m now on the downward side of 65 and haven’t slowed down. I crochet baby blankets to donate to children’s hospitals or other charity groups. I’ve always had trouble getting that straight edge, definitely going to try your method. You can teach an old “mom” new crocheting tips. Thank you, I’m looking forward to more videos.
Thank you for your help. Now I will start crouching again!
Tito
I've watched countless dozens of "how to" videos on CZcams. That, plus having had a long career in broadcasting, puts a bit of credence in my opinion when I say that your presentation is among the best available. I learned a lot... and wasn't annoyed even once. Thank you.
rae0521 I agree!
Loved the magnet idea, I use metal tapestry needles and lose them all the time! I enjoyed all the hacks!! Thank you so very much!!!
Same , seriously jam packed with great info !
Totally agree 😊
Thank you,Thank you for making this video.I have learned new things.
Thank you so much for all of these tips! Weaving in the ends this new and improved way is going to be a game changer!
Love the tip about the standing crochet! I’ve been trying it on granny squares and it’s a game changer!
I’ve used the earrings I was wearing while crocheting because I couldn’t find a dang stitch marker 😂
That's a great idea! I always have earrings in!
Lol
😂😂😂 nicee
@@bradfordbogan7248 Smart girl.
That’s genius !!
I could listen to her speak all day. Love her voice and she’s an amazing teacher
I just want to sit with her one afternoon so I can learn from her. I'm just barely above a beginner and learning from her would be so awesome!
Wow
She is awesome. Her direction is so easy to follow. Thank you.
I really love the standing double crochet tip. Thank you so much! And the time management tip, it's really a good way to discipline myself and get more rows done!
This was a fantastic video, you covered a few of the issues I wasnt sure why I was having! Thank you so much.
i watched this last year with 0 experience in crochet and i didn't realize how much i had absorbed from it until i rewatched it again now ! the joining of colors, the strap of yarn as a stitch marker, the way to make the rows look straight and without holes . i forgot i learned so much from this so i just wanted to say thank you for this video .
Okay, I've lost track how many times my brain said "Wow!" on this video and I've still got 4 minutes of video left. Yes, Beginner here. Started since November last year.
Im 61 and have been crocheting since I was 9 and I am saying wow after every tip!
Chochie Samson totally agree and pushed that 10-second back up over and over. Truly loved this informative video
I’m a beginner as well and have watch a number of “tips” videos but this one is the best yet... very informative and interesting 😊 and doesn’t go overly fast for us beginners too!!!
THIS IS CON👏TENT👏I've been crocheting less than a year and I hate those short tiktoks that only give out 1 tip at a time without clear explanation. Thank you so much for this amazing video!
I am a bewildered Beginner and you have made me feel relaxed and unafraid to start Crocheting. I have gained so much knowledge and confidence, thank you so much. Here is a tip that helps me with the crafts I am working on. I take and print a picture of the person I am making the craft for. Place it near my work. Everytime I want to take an extra break or stop for the day I look at the picture and it makes me smile giving me new energy and gets me going again.
🤯 Tip 10- how to prevent a twisted chain.....where has this been all my life What a game changer, thank you!!
Right?? I mean, seriously...it's so stupid but so ingenious!
I was like OH MY GOD FINALLY
I couldn’t believe how easy and simple it was....Insert forehead slap here
Yep, best tip on there by far.
This one had me by surprise! It's so simple and flawless! Thank you, Toni 😁
I usually have more than one project going at one time. I would always forget what size needle I was using and would have to start over. I bought alphebet charms and put them on stitch markers. When I stop now I pick my needle size and pin it to my project. Problem solved!
Brilliant! I started writing the size I was using on the yarn label, but eventually that label falls off. This is even better!
Wow! What a great idea!
Where has this idea been all my life?!?!?
Genius!!!! Now I plan on following your tip-leaving a letter charm marker on a beginning row until project is completed. Working several projects at a time , each will have its own hook marker!
Nice tip! I finally signed up to Ravelry to keep track of hook sizes, I tried to resist using that site for a long time but I love it now and it's really upped my game. You can specify on each project what hook size you're using, and take notes if you need. Now if I forget my hook size, I just check my project in Ravelry!
What a genius idea! I have so many of the same size crochet hooks because if I don't leave it with my work, I forget what size I use. Thanks for this great tip!
Thank you so much for sharing your crochet tips! Easy to follow and clear to understand. Now my rows are even without any holes on the ends!
Thanks so much for showing how to have even ends with no holes! I really needed that one.
I learned how to crochet since I was nine. My mom taught me all the basics. When I was old enough to buy books during the pre-CZcams era, I learn all I knew about crochet by looking at diagrams. Today, I learned all these tips just by watching this awesome 20 mins video. Thank you, Toni, for creating this video. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks, Toni has proved them wrong.
ma'am... i've been crocheting 3/4 of my life, and i like to think my grandma taught me well, that i'm fairly competent- but that slip knot trick??? dropped my jaw. had me questioning my whole world. instant subscribe for that one, and THANK YOUUUUUU.
Here's my method to make a slip knot: Wrap the yarn twice around two fingers (slightly spread apart), with the second wrap further from the fingertips than the first. Insert your hook under the first wrap, hook the second wrap and pull it out under the first wrap. Slip the yarn off your fingers and pull. You not only have a slip knot but it's already on your hook ready to start.
Yes!! That one was great! How did we get by without these tips??
Just started learning last night and I love your videos! Everyone else gets me confused but you're so clear about where to put the hook thru!
This was very helpful! I always have an issue with straight sides and crochet on edges to connect granny squares . Thank you so much!
Omg! I learned a lot today, & didn’t once have to say “Come ON! Tell us, already!” I thanks her for going at exactly the right pace for me and, because not everyone’s the same, she tells them where else to look. She’s one cool lady!
Will have to re watch this video over and over....would like to have her sitting beside me though and show me lol
Same. Great pacing.
I agree 100+ percent. I also appreciate that the music was faded out while explaining the tips, and only played between tips. Anything worth saying should not have to compete with music to be heard (unless it's in a song lol).
I had never seen a "foundation stitch" before. This is a total game changer. I am floored.
Me too.
Love the trick for making a loop without twisting! And I'm about to pick up some clips to make my own yarn bowl! Thanks 👍
I am new at crocheting and found your tips to be amazingly helpful. I can’t wait to dive into learning more from you and your videos. I loved the yarn comparison if you don’t have the exact yarn. However, I loved all of your tips and tricks. Thank you for all you do!!
Instead of scissors, I just take nail clippers with me when I travel. They will never make a hole into anything, they even pass airport security, and they will definitely cut a thread, too. :-)
I have nail clippers I keep with my needles for this reason!
that is very smart
Baby clippers! So small and convenient!
I use my pocket knife if I can't find scissors. 'Tis stabbed into my headboard so 'tis always around. It doesn't fray the yarn because I cut quite swiftly.
Brilliant!
When starting a new ball of yarn, I start it from the middle of the ball. You'll see that at one end the hole is a bit bigger than the other side, i kind of fish for the end of the yarn in there and pull it out, that way the yarn doesn't wobble around when you use it.
Sometimes I put it in a ziplock bag thats about as big as the ball of yarn and seal it so that there is just enough room for the strand of yarn to come through, the ziplock bag helps to keep the yarn clean in messy environments.
That is a simply brilliant idea to use a ziplock bag! How often do I travel and have to be SO careful that the yarn doesn’t end up on the car floor! 🤣
Great idea! Especially since my long, blonde hair constantly sheds a TON every day and we have a dog that sheds as well. And of course, hair loves to cling to yarn! So frustrating! This would definitely solve that problem! At least for the yarn in the bag. If only I could figure a way to keep it off of the worked yarn/fabric as well! I wonder if rubbing a dryer sheet over it would help. 🤔
@@theblondeblogger5132 I was thinking dryer sheets can be an allergen to some folks (if it is a gift) so maybe a larger re-usable tote to hold the Work In Project as you continue to might help. Good luck! I have used this to minimize loose hair from finding its way into my work.
L H Thank you!!
I've tried to do it that way, but eventually the yarn in the middle just tangles
Beginner here. So glad I found your video. Now I have a better understanding of how to turn my work.
I look forward to your next video. 🙂
Love all your tips! That joining to work in the round tip, simple but genius!
that was the best instruction for foundation stitches I have ever seen, As were the attaching to make a round.
Thanks for leaving this comment. The vid just popped up and seeing your comment made me sub, I just started to Crochet and look forward to watching these vids! ❤🧶🪡
Yes absolutely YES
I have never ever before just a few mins ago ever watched a vid tutorial on foundation stitches that always just frustrated the living daylights out of me - this tutorial is a game changer for sure ! 💫✨💫✨💞💕
Where can I find the instructions for the cast in you did that is stretchy? My cast on is terrible
@@DawnBuffum it is the foundation stitch at 3:28. Because you do not have the chain first, it allows more stretch. If you do need to do a chain and are worried it is going to be too tight, just use a bigger hook, either a half or full size up from the size hook you will need for the area you are working on. It can really help, especially when making scarves and blankets.
@@DawnBuffum - I think you are asking about her demo of the foundation single crochet. (Cast on is knitting) She demonstrated the foundation SC beautifully. You can also use this method for other stitches too. Lots of videos on youtube that will also help. Happy crocheting!
I've crocheted since I was in middle school. I'm 60 now. I'm still learning new tricks!
My favorite was the one on how to join the granny squares. I could have used that several times over the years!
I love the tips you give especially the one on how to avoid holes at the end of rows
This video is a life saver! You answered basically all of the questions I’ve had about how to improve my work and I can’t wait to use these tips
I have been crocheting for 60 years and sadly I had several of the problems you addressed. Now I know how to fix them! It goes to show we are never too old to learn. Thank you so much!
X
i watched my mother crochet for years and never got into it. Now she is gone, I am going to be a grandma and I'm ...crocheting! Your video made me so nostalgic and was SO helpful! Thank you.
Cannot thank you enough for this! I haven’t crocheted in years and these tips and reminders are fantastic. Thank you so much!
Loved the different techniques and the joining of yarns to make it appear seamless. Thank you!
Ok real talk: I can’t crochet to save my life, but I’ve been knitting since I was like six. I watched this video earlier today (and I was excited for how many tricks I could use for my knitting), and then this evening I was binding off a project in the round and remembered your invisible join tip. I pulled up the video and followed your steps and this is genuinely the most beautiful finish I’ve ever done! Thank you so much for this video, I get the distinct feeling I’ll be coming back to it again and again 🤩
I really appreciate how you numbered all the tips so you can go back and re watch it as many times as necessary without having to find it in the video each time. That was was extremely thoughtful!
You had so many helpful tips, I find it hard to pick just one. I think the changing colors is one of my favorite, along with the invisible stitch! Thank you for the tips!
Thank you so much for all the tips. I really like the hack about the yarnbowl!!! ♥️🥰
You cannot imagine how helpful this is to me. After learning to crochet as a child I only recently picked it up again and there are a lot of details I don't know. Thank you for sharing your experience with others!
Almost facepalmed at the first one for not twisting stitches on joining in the round. Every single tip is gold! And the standing stitch? *mwah!* 💋
Thank you so much for these tips.
Thank you. You are showing some awesome short cuts. Love them!
I am a newbie. Watching the way you end the pieces is awesome! Thank you so much for all the tips you've so graciously shared. ❤️
My favorite tip is how to keep the “hole”out of the end of your row. I loved all of them however and want to thank you so much for helping all of us to get better. You’re the greatest.
I worry that it’s going to mess with the row height. You can pull up a long loop and use it to yarn over - much like the standing stitch she showed, but that leaves one slightly extra large loop that I don’t like either. I feel like I’m still looking for the right solution.
I have been crocheting for 60 years mostly with thread. I started several years ago using wool yarn and found that your video is absolutely a must for every crocheter whether experienced or beginner. I have learned so much that no book can teach. Thank you. I feel like I didn't know how to crochet until I saw your video. God bless you!
I love the way you weave in your tails...wish I had known that 60 years ago...LOL. Beautiful crochet work.
Great tips! I'm just starting out so if I ever learn how to hold the darn yarn and get consistent tension, I'll try some of these! Thanks for sharing.
I may have missed the deadline for the giveaway, but I already think that i won a prize with these timps that you shared with us. Thank you so much!!
Yes! Me, too!
My favorite tip was doing a double crochet rather than chain 3 when starting to stitch in the round.!! I crochet a lot of doilies and this will make them look even better!
I’m back into crocheting after a break of about a decade and your videos have been a godsend helping me to get reacquainted with the hook! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻❤️
This is a great video!!! I'm just learning to crochet and your tips are extremely helpful! Thanks so much.
I have a girl-crush on this lovely woman and her incredible stitch work. 😍
I've been crocheting for over 50 years and I learned a lot of tips from you that I never knew about. Thanks so much!
I love the double crochet idea for the second round on the magic circle! I will definitely use that going forward.
LOVE the binder clip bowl shortcut!!! Using, thank you!!!
This is the perfect video. The internet can rest now. 🙏
I'm not even a third of the way through the video, and this is so unbelievably helpful!
Enjoyed your tips. I have been crocheting for years and learned from every tip you gave especially how to make my work look neater
I loved your tips!!! You do a great job of explaining and demonstrating. Thank you!
My favorite tip is having All The Tips in one place! I saved this video to my CZcams crochet collections so I can refer back. Thanks for this great video!

Me too, I agree!
Same here! I learned at least 3 new ways of improving my projects. Best video EVER!!!!!
hi.I liked you.write your email?I'm 35 years old
Hey Ms Tony, I am 59 years old, I learned to sew and crochet many years ago in high school back when they taught those things. I started again about 9 years ago and have been picking up so many new tips. I have found that it is like riding a bike. I have viewed many video, but you young lady have been the biggest inspiration I have come across. I never Like, Subscribe or Comment. However I have done all 3 with you and had to let you know. Please keep up with your good works and much continued success. Maybe one day I will make a video.
I liked the standing crochet to join new yarn. And the join as you go for granny squares. Thank you for sharing those cro-nuggets
Just starting to crotchet and look forward to using these awesome tips! Love them all!
I just discovered this channel after picking up crocheting again during the quarantine. Love it!
Charmy M! Me too!
Same here I picked up crocheting again when I found out I was pregnant and just discovered this channel because since quarantine started I’ve been ordering more yarns and doing more projects and these tips are amazing can’t wait to binge all the other videos while making a project and drinking some teas 😊❤️
Gracetopherxo congratulations!
Charmy M! Omg me too !!!!

You had me “hooked” and subscribed within 10 seconds of this video! It’s difficult to find an engaging and informative video where people get right to the point. Thank you for your video- so refreshing!
All great information and tricks. I usually have a tough time joining a chain without twisting. Your trip looks like it will solve that problem.
I have been crocheting for 50 years but learned several helpful things from this video (joining without twisting when working in the round, joining granny squares while completing a square, invisible decrease, eliminating holes at edge) but my favorite is the easy color change, especially when alternating different colored rows! Thank you!
Thank you for your precise and easy-to-understand instructions. These tips are the best I've ever seen!
I said "this damn woman is bloody brilliant!!" Over 20 times in this video.
#24 weaving in the ends was my favorite tip! This is usually the most frustrating part of my projects. Thanks Toni for this one and all of the great tips!
I absolutely love this video sense I have been crocheting for almost 30 years I know a lot of this but I did not know about the yarn bowl such a fantastic idea, I was always taught that you pull from the center but I was recently reading on something that said pulling from center will twist yarn( so true) so I was wondering what I could do. So love that tip!
Great crochet tips video! My favorite new tip is the standing stitch technique. Thank you!
I rarely “like” videos but loved this one. Especially loved crocheting into the back bump for a nice beginning edge and granny square join and also standing stitch. Thank you!!!
You are amazing. I found myself getting scared I wasn’t going to absorb everything. Then I thought thank goodness this is a video.
A MasterClass in 13 minutes. Wow!
So many wonderful tips! Thank you, thank you. Invisible join in granny square is genius.
I’m learning so much from you. I keep watching this video over and over. You are amazing!
I loved the bowl and clip for the yarn. I'm always having problems with my yarn dancing around while I'm trying to crochet. I really enjoyed all of your tips. And, you explained your tips really well. That means a lot to someone like me that's dyslexic.
My jaw is on the floor! Thank you so much! I'm a grandma-trained crocheter and you taught me so much in just a few minutes that I will be incorporating. I am going to trying out your strategy for the foundation row and for clean sides. And of course, watching all your other content!
I have crocheted for years the standing double crochet was interesting to me and I also love the invisible join on the granny square. All of these tips are extremely helpful.
This is the most helpful video for crocheting that I've ever watched. It is so well done. Can't wait to start implementing these tips!
