18 things I wish I had known when I started crocheting
Today I share 18 things I wish I had known when I started crocheting. Basically, I made mistakes so you don't have to. We'll talk about poor yarn choices, the search for the perfect crochet hook, the importance of hand stretches and what happens when you neglect doing them, handling mistakes, abandoning projects, and many more! I hope this video helps you make fewer mistakes and makes your crocheting experience that much better!

BUDGET crochet supplies I got as a BEGINNER

Buying crochet supplies can be challenging when you're a a beginner, especially when you're on a budget, but I tried to do just that. Let's see what budget-friendly crochet notions were a hit and where I went wrong and ultimately spent too much for too little. 00:00 intro 00:35 hooks (the good, the bad, and the plastic) 05:40 yarn and why it's important to know yarn weight and type 08:45 stitch...

hello world, a month ago I started crocheting, so let's see how it went. What made me start crocheting, how easy/difficult it was for me to learn how to crochet (spoilers it was hard), the highs and lows, and everything I managed to crochet as a complete beginner in the first month Patterns & videos mentioned: th-cam.com/video/-BaGn8UM1Y8/w-d-xo.html by @Refinedvibes th-cam.com/video/zzWX2dx8uf...

💛🧡❤
I really enjoyed this video 💖 it's nice to hear some stuff said out loud, especially about hoarding and buying stuff just because it's on sale 🙈 I'm guilty of both haha 😂
confessions of a (reformed) shopaholic 🙈 you live and you learn, girl 😘
I absolutely love you and your videos - every single thing you said in this video resonates with me and I was laughing the whole time because it was like you were seeing/explaining my exact journey. I really enjoy your videos I had just never commented before. Thanks for your fun/funny content I love it!
omg, you've made my day 💖thank you so much, your comment has made me so happy! 😻
@@ivanasvlog yay I’m so glad! Truly - I watch from beginning to end & laugh at all the jokes. I’m kinda jealous about how good you are only a few months in! 💖
@@calleigh4287 seriously, thank you so much. This is so encouraging to hear and it means so much to me! I really hope you continue to enjoy my videos ❤
@@ivanasvlog I know I will! I started crocheting around 8 months ago & I don’t have any friends or family members that do so I love that there are so many fun girls on TH-cam to watch. I find you to be the funniest and most self aware/realistic which is really refreshing. Excited to see more in the future!
One of the things I learnt quite early on was that I love freehanding or designing my own patterns. I also learnt that acrylic yarn wasn't for me and that chenille felt so much better to work with in the end. Also fluffy yarn is definitely not for me the stitches are invisible and holes are plentiful (My first Freehanded pattern was made with that).
I know what you mean about acrylic, not a fan of it either! but chenille is so wonderful, so soft and nice to the touch 😍 freehanding sounds interesting, I have to try it one of these days ☺
Ahh poop, I got super excited seeing the Ramie dress but its a drafted pattern 🥴 Im not quite ready for that yet! But one to come back to!
I always save aspirational projects to keep me motivated, even though there's no way I could complete them any time soon lol 🙈
@@ivanasvlog I hear that 😅 master one little thing and then think I'm ready for a monster creation! One day!
@@WoWBloodrend same! I keep telling myself it's the case of shoot for the moon, you'll still land among the stars. I just ignore the crash and burn that happens in the meantime lol
❤❤❤❤
💛🧡❤💜
Thanks for the video! As for buttons bursting open… over time button holes loosen so reinforcing the end of a button hole with one or two tiny stiches really helps! Also I like to add snaps to the inside of the button placket (sp?) between the two buttons over my bust to help fix the gape and take up some of the strain. ❤
thank you for the tip! 😍 it makes so much sense now that you've said it, but it never would've crossed my mind to reinforce the button holes! and snaps sound like a much more elegant solution than safety pins (lol 🙈), thank you! ❤
@@ivanasvlog of course! You’re welcome. I used to be able to get away with anything when I had a smaller chest but after nursing babies I had to learn how to keep an elegant button up buttoned! 😂
4:14 excited for this one.. Wanna see it 😍😍😍😍
awwww, me too! 🥰 I'm actually making that one first, it'll be uploaded next week 🤞
@@ivanasvlog yes im so excited!! cant waaait!!!
Thank you so much ❤
I'm so glad you've found something you like 💖
Please don't remove image as you explain it. It help to see the drawing as you describe it.
I'll keep it in mind for future videos, hopefully the links in the description help! ☺
Great choices. Next time, can you please leave the images for the patterns on the screen a little longer. I'm trying to freeze frame the first one and it flashes on and off so fast that TH-cam won't let me pause at it.
good idea, I'll do that if I make a similar video in the future, thanks! ☺
I'm subscribing to your channel now!!!
awww, that's great ❤ hope you enjoy the videos!
Thank you thank you!!!!
no problem! happy sewing 💖
Great resources! Thank you!!
you're welcome 🥰 glad you liked them!
Thank you very much !
I'm happy you liked them 🥰
❤thanks for sharing
no problem, glad you like them 💖

💖💞💗
This is such a good video, you found a lot of amazing patterns 😻 I really like the Elliot top, everything with puffy sleeves and bows is just so amazing 😂💖
I'm so glad you like them 🥰it's such a great look, you're right! wish I could pull of puffy sleeves a bit better though
everything you make is so cute! i hope i get to crochet as good as you do one day 🩷
thank you so much 💖just keep making stuff you really like and you will! and amigurumi is kinda like dogs - all of them are good boys. my favorites usually turn out to be the wonky ones 🤭
Wow!! Everything you made is so good 😻 and you're so creative, I can't wait to see your next video 💖
thank you 🥰❣the next one will be sewing related 🤞🤫
your stuff is beautiful! i love your vids, and wow, what dedication to release what you crocheted in july august 1st!
thank you! 💖 funny you should say this, I thought this video was cursed lol I had to record it twice because I messed something up with my mic, so it's good that it's out 🙈
I really LOVE your dragon hand snuggler ( the fushia and black too!!!)! Great makes for this month!!!😛
Thank you 🥰 it's a great color combination💘💛💚
I am loving your videos! You have similar interests to me; lots of quirky, weird and fantasy things. I enjoy seeing the different Amigurumis you make or even the patterns you share. They are not the same ones you see all over social media, it’s a great point of difference ❤
@@alisondavis1437 thank you so much❤ that's so great and encouraging to hear! hope you continue to enjoy them🥰
What about big bows? You can't take up sewing without doing some big bows 🎀🎀 I think a big bows would look good on the ren faire outfit 💖💖
there'll be tiny bows on the sleeves 😜 probably 💝
I also just recently bought the same simplicity refaire pattern on sight hahah
it's a gorgeous pattern, so hard to resist, have you made it already?
Such a great idea to start with what you're interested in! Have fun, its such a blast <3
I've realized that for me it's much better to start with something I really enjoy because the beginning is gonna be hard either way, so the more invested I am, the more likely I'm to push through and stick with it. Thanks so much <3
I have been crocheting for years and I JUST made my first successful wearable project. 😅 amigurumi is still my favorite thing to make
what wearable did you finally make?
He worked up great with the smaller size, will you be making the pumpkin and kitten in the pattern. I've looked at this maker for ages now so I'm going to get this pattern and maybe another witchy cat for now and I love all her patterns, she has a lovely style
Definitely, I'm especially partial to the pumpkin. Once the heat lets up, I'll make them, in September at the latest! and you're right, Lyra Lune has wonderful designs 😍
Congratulations 🎉 cute dragons 🎈
Thanks! 🥰They are crafty intentions patterns and so far everyone's been admiring them but no one's bought one yet.
Very 🥰 cute but I would keep the purple/grey detailing on the hat & belt but change the belt buckle color. All in all a cute market make. I'm putting this on my Fall Halloween 🎃 list. Thank you 🧡
Thank you ❤ I made the version with grey on the hat and the belt later, just to be sure, but for some reason I prefer all black.
Oh my gosh! 😻😻 baby plague doctor is so cute and that little 🍑 is amazing haha love it.
thank you! 🥰 the healing power comes from that peach, that's why it's so big 🤤
I love your video! I have been crocheting for years, but I love watching these videos, I always find something that can help me ❤ I see you from Chile 🌻
Thank you so much 🥰 same! I always like sneaking a peak at how other people do stuff because you can always see something interesting!
I made that Pennywise amigurumi back in 2022 as one of my first crochet projects 😂 The review with Penny leaning on the two pumpkins is mine. That was way back before I knew there was an X single crochet and a V single crochet. But a fun pattern to do and I was crocheting only for a few weeks so I can say it is beginner friendly.
That's so awesome! I also think that best patterns for beginners are those they really love, no matter the difficulty level, because it's going to be challenging either way, so might as well make something you're really excited about ☺ I tried making a bookmark as one of my first projects but abandoned it because I found it boring
Thank you so much for showing us these amazing free amigurumi patterns. 😊
No problem! I'm really glad you like them 🥰
How do we get cinderella doll tutorial
@@helenring9424 go to this link www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/magic-cinderella and click on the link "This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download"
@@ivanasvlog Thank you
I loooovvvveeee fiber figments!!! I have that crow widow pattern on my desk for months but i don't have the courage to start it yet!😭
I'd feel the same, but she's so gorgeous though ❤ she'll tell you when she's ready
I bought the Cthulu pattern but I'm indecisive on what color to use
I have the same problem with the eastern dragon, but I think you can't go wrong. I made a cute critter dragon in blues that I thought I didn't like but once he was done I loved him 😍just pick a color you like and he'll be great
How did it go? Were you able to get that streamline hook? I have two Furl's hooks and I love them, but to be honest, for amigurumi I always reach for my Clover Amour hooks. Furls are actually quite heavy and can tire out your hands if you're not used to them. I use mine mostly for stuff other than amiigurumi.
it went well (I have a video), but I definitely had too few affordable items, so I've been adding smaller stuff with each market. I got furls streamline metal and I'm in love 😍😍😍 I love that hook, it's so comfortable, feels like a completely different crochet experience. I was looking into clover amour as well, but concluded that chunkier shaft was the way to go for me.
OMG I think you reached inside my mind and discovered what I want to crochet…. I love these creators thankyou
that's so awesome, so glad you've found designers that you like ❤
I've been crocheting for decades and I'm so impressed with how quickly you've come along with it! Elise Rose Crochet is such a great channel. Your goblin is adorable!
Thank you so much! ❤Yes! I love her videos, so much fun and so useful! I love my goblin 🥰
So far i have done 6 of these patterns. Also done a lunadesign dragon. Along with a lot of others. Great choice of patterns.
Oh nice! 🥰Which one of those 6 is your favorite?
I think any of the craft intentions. But I also enjoyed the Highland cow.
@@amandaprice7608 love her patterns, can't wait for her monster book to come out!
I have her fist book@@ivanasvlog
I love your vibe and your taste in amigurumi . I just subscribed. Can’t wait to see the monsters and fantasy characters you make.
Thank you so much 🥰 I'm also excited but it's hard to choose 🤔
Thank you for bringing Hooked by Katie to my attention, I wanna make so many of the free patterns now (and there are many)
I'm so glad you've found inspiration for your future projects 💖
I liked the nutcracker
he's adorably festive 🥳
❤ thank you, such an interesting video, sure get into one of this creations. I admired the skull, mind blowing, but the dragons remain the most beautiful ever!
🐲❤🔥it's so hard to choose, though. I wish I had the time and space to make everything I like
Girl, you're skipping summer and going straight to Halloween 👻🎃 i love Sherlock mole and the troll because of the feet haha they're so cute 🤭😻👣
if only I could skip summer 🥵 they have the best feet, so adorable 🤭❤️
😂😂 stress free by the fire in the castle! Can I move in with you?!❤
sure thing, you take the east wing, I'll take the west and we'll meet in the great hall for crocheting sessions 😂😘
I love your videos. It's refreshing to have a crochet content creator who speaks such wonderful English, but doesn't follow the same beaten track as many content creators, and has such original contentWhat wonderfully original patterns! It's so surprising that the patterns are free. They look like they required so much hard work and in addition the pattern writing must have been a laborious process. Keep up tyour hard work
Sorry, some strange bug in the comment section is not allowing me to see my comment as I write it, and edit my previous comment's mistakes
Thank you so much, it means a lot ❤ I was also surprised to see those patterns were free, they're ingenious! A lot of those patterns are really nicely written as well, with lots of pictures and helpful tips
@@tamarf4596 it's okay! 🧡
Thank you!! I didn't know a lot of this designers... And that's weird cuz I am obsessed with amigurumi 😅
There are so many great designers out there, it's a shame we don't know about so many amazing patterns just because those blogs never got much traction, so it's great when we can discover them 🥰
Hi! I really like yours videos where you suggest intermediate/expert amigurumis, cuz they are more the plenty of lists everywhere for easy/beginners ones!😉 Plus, I also love making animals, creaturs, fantastics, scary, nerdy , gamers, amigurumis more then the cute ones ( even if I do some too, more for gifts or to donate to charity...).Finally, the last thing that i love about yours videos is that you actually can speak...more then 10 words vocabulary!!! LOL Cuz, saying that something is "cute", is not really a description to me! So please, keep on your excellent work, and I wish you all the success you deserved! NB: And I'm waiting for your next one in that type of videos!!🤗 nb no..2 Is there a reason why we can't register yours videos into our personnals files/categories of favorites on TH-cam?
I'm so glad you like the video, makes me really happy and excited to do more 💖 Easy patterns are great for markets/selling in general, but sometimes you just want to do something special for you, or as a gift. ☺ And I have no idea why you can't add my video to a playlist, maybe it was a glitch or something?
if you don't know her, Complicated knot makes lots of great dragon patterns and others which are available for free on her TH-cam channel !
People recommended her channel in the comments under my other video! I love it, such great content! 🤩
rhonda butler make a lot of stuff free on you tube with a step by stich instructions. I Love her stuff
@@stephi_spells thanks for the recommendation!
Her patterns are TOP TIER to bridge over into advanced patterns
You will love the kraken, I have done him
