@@emmapcrochet I've never done this before can you make a video or a comment please about what yarn to use also can I buy it off of Amazon
Tried your method for the double crotchet turning thingy but my edges are still coming out wonky 😢
Please can you do a video following a crochet pattern chart I am begging you
Is there a difference betwwen yarn over and pull up a loop?
THIS IS FINALLY THE REAL “BEGINNER” CROCHET VIDEO IVE EVER SEEN. Feel like a lot of experienced crocheters forgot what it was like to know nothing & just explain it way to fast/complicated 😭 THANK YOU!!!!
I am so glad you enjoyed!!!💓💓💓💓
Thank you for this video! I agree with Nayeli 😭
I was the 1k like
Yes!! This is amazingly detailed! I've watched atleast 5 other beginner videos but couldn't quite get it, after watching this video I GOT IT! I will continue to watch these videos. I love her ❤
Ain't that the truth
Almost started crying because of how hard this was for me up until i found your video. i hope you r having a good day you really deserve it.
this was me today.. except i actually cried 3 times lol
Thank you so much!!💓💓
Same..
I AM STILL CRYING WHAT IS THIS
Same. I felt so dumb because nothing was making sense but this one finally made it click.
I had no desire to crochet until quarantine and now I’m like I NEED to try it!
Amazing!!! It is the best hobby ever 💓💓
@@emmapcrochet I can’t wait to recreate some of the items you’ve done in your videos!!! 💘
Same lol 😂
it’s been 7 months how is it going?
YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!! i’ve been loving crocheting and i just got my kit so i’m a beginner rn. I ENJOY DOING THE CHAIN STITCH SO MUCH
I’m 13 and because I’m young no one wants to help me with crochet because they don’t think it would be a hobby I would stick with. I love crocheting it’s one of my many hobby’s thanks to you!☺️
Thats so amazing to hear!! I’m so glad you enjoyed 💓💓💓
@@emmapcrochet 🥰
I'm 13 too!! And I want to learn crochet because I'm bored. No one in my family know how to, So I'm just gonna stick in the yt tutorials!!
I teach kids to knit all the time, so I am sorry to hear nobody wanted to teach you! I came here to learn how to crochet myself. I am 45. You can keep learning new things forever! :D
Im 15 and same no one's gonna help me in crocheting bcoz no one in my fam knows how to,except from my auntie but im too shy to ask her.
Thank you so much. My mom used to crochet huge afghans for our family, and I decided last night to learn how. She passed away 3 years ago with complications related to her muscular dystrophy. She had trouble with her hands, but when I was young she was still able to crochet. I think it probably helped her dexterity as best she could. Now that I am learning, I am even more impressed with how she was able to do this. Over the years, I have lost the afghan she made me. So I would like to make a new one in her honor! Your video makes me feel like I can do this.
You can do it!! I guess trying again and again is the key. And sorry for your loss, I believe you can do an amazing one, you are her child :)
Im ruining the perfect 111 likes 😃
that's so sweet, i think crocheting would be a really good way to feel connected to her. hope you are doing great
this is so beautiful. My mom passed away this year, and she always encouraged all the hobbies I pursued (including crocheting). I hope your afghan is going well 🥰
I love this. My mom used to crochet, sew, paint, etc. The complete artist. But now she is bedridden and want to learn everything she used to do. This is such a lost art and it seems that all the coolest moms knew how and were much more peaceful than moms today. Happy learning and may you stitch some wonderful memories along the way.
Finally found a person who knows how to teach crotchet. Thank you appreciate your work.
With the single crochet I was in tears the past 3 videos until i found this one I honestly had given up last night thank you so much
me who already makes my own patterns : ah yes, for absolute beginners. perfect!! must watch
🤣💓💓💓 Thank you so much for watching!!
You make your OWN patterns?!?! 😰 (sorry I’m very surprised-i know nothing of crocheting- so I don’t know that you can make you own patterns)
@@Amy_Anh i dont even know what patterns are but that sounds amazing
Samee!
Perfect! Last night while rummaging through some of my mum's sewing stuff (she doesn't sew any more, so I basically get to take what I might possibly use) I actually found my favourite crochet hook from when I was a kid. When I was around 8 or so I did a fair bit of crocheting, starting with normal yarn and then moving towards thinner threads - and my favourite was a 1.0mm hook that I used for making lace. Yes, I was crocheting lace when I was 8; I was not, as they say, like most boys...
Anyway, I haven't done any crocheting for three decades, so your video is just what I needed as a refresher on the basic stitches. I might start out with a larger hook, just to get it "into my hands" again before I move on to my tiny little hook, though. No need to be foolhardy!
So thank you very much for your help.
That sounds cute
thats awsome!! that sounds so cool to crochet lace, lots of talent!!
this is extremely helpful, no other tutorial has helped me this much :D
Hi thank you very much for this video! I am French and it is really hard to find this kind of tutorials in French, but I understood everything even if it’s not in my language so thank you!! And for the people who’ll see that comment, have a nice day :)
My grandmother taught me to crochet/sew during summer visits when I was 7 yrs old. I must have been a very patient little girl & her a patient teacher. she made beautiful blankets for the church. Those memories with her have stayed with me all my life.
i've never felt so proud of myself when i was doing well while following this video, tysm for this videooo
Me who's been making crocheting for years for years: "I must watch this video!"
Loved the video! It reminded me of back when I bought my first crochet hook and first started learning how to crochet
💓💓💓💓
Thank you for this video! FINALLY, a beginner tutorial that is slow enough to actually follow!
I tried crochet about a year ago and all the other tutorials were confused I was so upset and I couldn't get it. Then I was bored today and on edge. The last few days I have been thinking about suicide because I couldn't take the pain. But then today I decided to pick up crochet again and I found this video I finally got it!!! My happiness was through the roof. I couldn't get the second row but I just kept on watching you and got it! I am very thankful to you, you litterly saved my life.
im sorry you were going through that:(( so glad you feel better!!
I am so glad you are feeling better now!!💓💓💓💓💓 All my love to you💓🙏
finally found a video that goes through the basics! and it was easy to understand and follow as a lefty! double crochet will take some time to figure out, but i'm just glad to be able to do something other than single :D
other "beginner" videos just blew through how to do the stitches and i was getting frustrated. plus, as a left-handed person, it's tricky sometimes to mentally flip what they're doing in videos. (i learned how to crochet and knit simple stitch by mirroring my mother and aunt who are right-handed)
That is amazing!!! I am so glad you enjoyed and found it helpful💓💓💓
I’m left handed too but I learned how to crochet like a right handed person so I would be easier to follow tutorials 😏
GoodKnitKisses does tutorials on the different crochets for lefties aswell!
@@salimouche3945 true, im a leftie but my brain hurts from trying to flip everything so i just crochet with my right hand.
@@horyer8684 knowing that most of the tutorials are by right-handed people it's the best option for us 😂
I am 15 years old and I really like crochet, I watched a lot of videos for beginners and almost cried because it was too hard. Today I found this video and I am very happy because this video is very suitable for beginners. Thank you very much... Anyway I'm from Indonesia🇮🇩
Same from somalia
You’re literally amazing, I’ve watched loads of tutorials of experienced crocheters using they’re advanced methods to teach beginners and I really struggled until I came upon your video and did my very first row ♥︎
You are an amazing teacher. You show things things most instructors assume we already know.
Thank you so much! I'm a 14 yr old who just started today and I was struggling a lot and frustrated but your tutorial was really good
omg this is the simplest crochet tutorial out there !! im a complete noob n this rlly helped me compared to the other tutorials since its explained so well,, thank u sm ^__^
I’m so glad you enjoyed! 💓💓
I have watched so many so-called beginners tutorials and they didn't slow it down enough to make it easy to follow like you have done. I was getting so lost as to where to put my hook not knowing if the stitch I had just done was correct, and didn't know where to go next after I had completed a stitch I was utterly lost. I don't normally comment on these things but you have done a marvellous job, love to see more! Thank you.❤
This was my day 1 of learning crochet..the other videos for beginners I had almost cried because it's so confusing and very hard to follow.
Luckily I've found your video..so many thanks.
So glad you found it helpful!💓
i've just started learning so i'm going to be coming back to this video alot! thank you this was so helpful and your voice is so soothing
I am so glad! Thank you so much for watching xx
This is by far the best Crocheting tutorial I’ve ever found I finally feel like I know what I’m doin rather than just being confused. I would recommend this tutorial to anyone & everyone !! Emma is definitely a great teacher. 🙂
This is one of the best videos because it is so clear and it goes slow enough to actually follow along!
You’re heaven sent!!! Thank you for this tutorial, this is by far the easiest video to follow and I learned so much without having to slow down the actual vid. Thank you so much, I hope you always have a wonderful day 💖
I'm an absolute beginner and I was a bit frustrated trying and failing to find an actual beginners tutorial, until I found you! This video is super clear, detailed and allowes me to actually follow along. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to explain everything so slowly and patiently ❤️ Already subscribed now!
THANK YOU !! FINALLY a true beginner tutorial !! The rest just felt like I was watching a foreign video in another language i didnt understand
i've already watched a lot of crochet tutorial videos here on youtube as well as on tiktok, but i still looked for other tutorials because i was still finding it hard to understand where to insert, what they meant by "insert into the second stitch", like, WHERE??? until i stumbled upon your video! this is LITERALLY, by far, the BEST and the REALEST ABSOLUTE BEGINNER tutorial. i love that you zoomed into the yarn and pointed us to where we should insert our hook, and you were able to explain it delicately and precisely. i can't thank you enough for this. you deserve all the best things in this world :>
Guys I bought all the goods to start crocheting after watching this video.... and she honestly makes it look easy, its actually kinda hard HAHA.
True I'm still stuck at the chain part
I started crocheting today and after following along for about an hour or two, skipping back and pausing constantly lol, I finally got the hang of it!! Really well explained and a wonderful beginner’s video :)
This is the best, most clear beginner crochet video! Thanks a million!
Yep
This is the first video I actually was able to crochet along with. I've watched other beginner videos before and struggled and just couldn't do it.. I still need a lot of practice but this helped so much getting me started! Thank you!!
Today all my crocheting supplies were ready to use, so i started with this video (for now only single crochet). This helped me a lot, ofc mine doesnt look as good as yours bc i have to practice a little more to get the hang of it. So thank you! Im so exited to recreate some of your projects.
I am so glad!! Thanks so much for watching 💓
Thank you so much. I’ve been wanting to watch a video about basic stitches, so this is super helpful! ☺️☺️
No problem!! So glad you like💓💓💓💓💓
So happy to see your clear and concise explanation, especially of the alternative turning stitch.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I gave up trying to learn a few months ago because I kept getting confused and frustrated, but your tutorial made it so much simpler for me to understand! My single crochet rectangle is very sloppy, but at least I can actually manage to do it lol thank you again!!!
Youre so welcome glad you enjoyed!
i've been watching this video for 2 days bc i've wanted to start crocheting. i'm working on a tote bag atm, and this video has helped a lot 💕
I’m so glad you found it helpful x
This was the most helpful tutorial i have ever seen! the speed at which you do everything is PERFECT and you describe everything so well! would LOVE to see more basic tutorials!
Thank you! This was awesome, I've been trying to do the single crochet for a couple days and I couldn't make a straight square, but with only an hour with your video I can now make all of these stitches
Glad I turned my post notifications on. Always amazing Emma! :-)
Thank you so much!!🥺💓💓
Really great tutorial! I’m a knitter and have knitted so many sweaters, socks, hats, etc. during quarantine that I’ve run out of things to knit so I’ve decided to learn an entirely new skill altogether. 😂 So this video was very helpful in that endeavor.
Thats amazing!! So glad you enjoyed 💓💓💓
This is the ABSOLUTE best beginner tutorial!! So grateful for you queen ❤️
Thanks so much!! I was struggling with learning the chain and this helped me thanks you!
Amazing!! I’m so glad I was able to help you out💓💓💓
thank youu for this video im a totally beginner and i want it to learn so bad, i love your tutorials.
How much yarn you use for every project approximately
And how do you do a decrease
love u
Hi! It varies depending on how big the project is, but I normally would use anywhere from 100g to 600g depending x
@@emmapcrochet how much for hats
really love how clear and conscise your videos are, thank you!
You are so amazing at explaining this! I have tried to watch other videos but could never seem to get the hang of it till now! Thank you.
Thank you so much for making these tutorials 💕
No problem at all! 💓💓💓
these are so useful!!! don't stop making these 😻✨
Thank you so much!!💓💓💓
Thank you so much! I wanted to learn how to crochet since forever, and I finally decided to just wing it. I made my first crochet heart, thanks to your simple and detailed instructions! ❤
Plan to make many more! Thanks a million!
thank u for this! a lot of other tutorials were really hard to follow along and this was really helpful. Struggled with the single crochet for ages until I came across this video
Thankyou so much this was the easiest tutorial i've come across.
I am so glad to hear that! 💓
even tho i know these basics, im still super excited to watch this! thank u)
Thank you so much💓
this is one of the best tutorials ever!!! you explain it so clearly and i love how you draw where to go! TYSMMM
You are such a lifesaver, thank you so much! Most beginner crochet videos arent as clear and they don't really understand the meaning of BEGINNER. This has helped me so much, I will edit this comment once I make something proper and I will give all the credit to you.
I'm hoping to start a shop if I succeed with rhis, as I need to make money so I can visit my family after almost 6 years. Every penny counts and I know people will buy cute crochet projects. Thank you for letting this easy, hassle free video become part of something amazing for everyone. X
You are literally my favourite CZcamsr and my crochet inspiration! I have made a lot of your projects and absolutely love the end results 😍 thank you so much for these tutorials ☺️
That is amazing!! Thank you so much💓💓💓
Would love to see a crochet with me chit chat video !
I would love to do one!! 💓💓💓
I love the way you explain stuff! This has been the most helpful beginner crochet video I’ve seen yet! Thank you!
Hello! I found your video like a week ago, I dropped my crochet learning like a year ago because I was so stressed out with other videos. I had nothing but bad experiences, but after I found your video I was able to do all the knots, even practicing by myself was such a pleasing experience! thank you for this beginner guide, it was so easy to understand, thank you so so so much! 💛
Oouh you should maybe try crocheting a hat in a sort of bucket aesthetic way?? 💓 keep up the good work xx
Deffo! Its on the list 💓And thank you so much💓💓💓
@@emmapcrochet yw x 💛
@@emmapcrochet I have an aesthetic bucket hat pattern if you would like to use it!
Thank you for this! I wanted to learn how to crochet, but i didn’t have yarn, so I’ve been using thread to learn during this video. Let me tell you, it is so much harder, can’t wait till i get yarn 😂
Omg thats amazing🤣🤣💓 I cant imagine trying to do this with thread!!!
Wow, thank you so much for a really clear video tutorial on how to crochet for beginners. I love learning all there different stitches you have shown. The instructions and video are so clear and easy to follow. I love crocheting!!

Thank you so much! This was really easy and clear to follow! My mom, who has been doing this since ever, said my teacher was really good after seeing what I did following this video!!

What we LOVELOVELOVE about Emma is that she does the lesson Close Up & NICE & SLOOOW!!!! we've been searching thru a gazillion video's and FINALLY found Emma!!! After producing nothing that looked in anyway functional and ripping it out to start over for the past 2+ weeks THE SEARCH IS OVER!!! Emma P teaches the basics, what tools to use, starting with the slipnot and the best way to hold your hook then you're in to making cool stitches!!! THANKS SO VERY MUCH Emma!!! 🔔🧶😻🥢💟🧶🧷💟🧶🪡😻💟🧶🥢❣🥢💟🧶
You have made my day. I have watched the way you are crocheting and was able to do the same. Thanks alot. Leaning is a continuous process so I will keep on watching.
Thank you SO much for drawing on the stitches to show which one you're talking about, this is always my biggest struggle!
How do I keep it from being so tight :,( mine came out wonky too :/ my finger hurts😔
You just have to keep trying with the tension, its probably one of the trickiest things to figure out! Try to make it as loose as you can without it falling off, and once you have the hang of that try tightening it a bit more. And also your hand will get used to the position, but if you find its too uncomfortable for you you can always use a different method of holding the hook! Theres lots of different ways. But the main thing is is to not give up! Youve got thisss💓💓💓💓💓
I'm so dumb 😭😭😭 this tutorial is easy but most difficult for me😞
I once heard if you are in a class that it’s too easy for you are in the wrong class. You are in the right class
i love all about this video. the voice. the patience. and the tutorial. really, salute to you. thank you for working so hard.
btw, this is my first day in learning how to crochet. i still don't have any materials with me yet but I'm planning to buy whenever i saved up enough money. maybe soon aaaa can't wait
Thank you for this tutorial, you're the first person to actually explain the 'why' which I feel has always held me back from doing my own experimenting with crocheting. I feel more confident now and was actually able to put what I've learned so far into practice.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I cannot thank you enough. I have watched tons and tons of beginner tutorials. This is TRULY a beginner tutorial!!!!!!! You made it so easy, I honestly can't believe it!!!!! I'm almost crying because my grandmother tried many times to teach me and I just never got it. Now I can do these stitches as if I have been doing it forever! My Gramz passed away so unfortunately I can't show her, but I just know she would be so proud, so thank you again. ❤❤❤❤
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER!!!! i’ve been watching different videos since yesterday but ended up getting super frustrated and stopped, but today i found this one and it finally makes sense. this is the first vid that’s actually been 100% beginner friendly :))
Wow!! Thank you so much for this video! Every other ‘beginner’ video is way too unclear! This is so clear and helpful ❤️
I couldn't even do the chain when I was watching other tutorials on youtube (I found them unhelpful because they went by really quick) but after watching this one, I got the hang of it after just watching it once! Thank you!!
I can’t explain how much I love the way you explain things !! You are a Greta teacher genuinely
Best beginning video I’ve seen. I’m finally coming back to crocheting after raising my kids. I think my young grandkids could learn after I initially teach them. Thank you!
This is the first time I have felt that I could not only learn to crochet, but actually be somewhat good at
it. Emma succeeded where my Grandmother couldn’t. I am really pleased that I. Less than 3 days, I feel
as though I have accomplished something! Thanks so much,Emma for your clear directions and excellent
video!
Thanks so much for this great tutorial!! I’ve been interested in learning this for years. I have no experience and in just a few minutes I was already making my first chain! It’s easy to understand and I’m excited to continue learning!
gurl you are the best. thank you. I’ve been a knitter for several years but never could learn crocheting until I found this. Thank you
Thank youuu, i've searched a lot of beginners videos but THIS is a real beginners video!
Thanks for such a great video! I'm an absolute beginner at crochet, but I still managed to learn all of these in a few hours!
It was so easy to learn these crochets, i recently just started crocheting and this tutorial helped me learn a half double and a double crochet. THANK YOU!
It’s been a couple of years since I last crocheted. This video was a nice refresher. Thanks.
