I've been crocheting for over 20 years and I have to say this is one of the best crochet tutorials I have ever watched. It's perfectly descriptive, I have no questions and it isn't loaded with any unnecessary or confusing information. I'm very impressed, good work!!!
I have been crocheting for 60 something years; I started as a child. This is an excellent tutorial. I'm really impressed. Now I want to make a Daisy granny square.
Wow!!! Thank you so much!!!! This is high praise!
I wholeheartedly agree!! I’ve been crocheting for over 40 years and I AVOID tutorials because of so many reasons but THIS is so well done. Elyse, you’ve put together something so beautiful. It’s the most comprehensive tutorial I’ve ever seen, but it’s not overwhelming. At all. I continue to be impressed with how quickly you’ve managed to pick up this craft! Great job!
I wholeheartedly agree with you!! Please keep doing these types of videos. I would love to see you make a sweater with your squares!
absolutely agree, I have been crocheting since I was 8 (taught by my aunt) and i am now 52, and you taught how to do this like a super pro. Great job!
You make our craft SO approachable. The comments section full of people who want to join us in crochet warms my heart.
Crochet seemed so inaccessible to me for a long time because I didn’t get it. I found other TH-camrs with adhd and they made it so much easier and I love crocheting now. I’m so grateful for creators like Elyse who make it easier for people who are neurodivergent
I love this comment section so much!!
Yesssss let's make the hand craft community bigger. It's the best hobby to have. As someone with severe anxiety knitting and crocheting have been a life saver for me in refocusing my attention on something fun and productive rather than focusing on the anxiousness I feel.
Super appreciate you making this.
@@tori3575 I once crocheted an entire shawl during a hurricane because it helped keep me calm.
Im begging you, PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE! You’ve inspired me to start crocheting and finding tutorials that I can sit through and actual learn from has been tricky but I LOVE the way you’ve put this together! I can finally make a granny square!❤️

This is probably the best crochet tutorial I've ever seen! I love the "Here's what it should look like and here's the diagram for the next step" parts. Looking forward to more. :)
Thank you so much. I hope I can find my way back to this. 🤞🏻
Same name, lol.
YOU’RE A **GODDESS** - THANK YOU FOR THIS, SO MUCH!!
I hope she adds chapters to the video, that would help so much. I love the intro part to every new step in the video where she shows what’s coming next and what it looks like. But it’s annoying to have to skip back and forth
Do I already know how to crochet? Yes! Am I going to watch this whole video still? Also, yes! 😁
Same 😂❤
Same here 😂
Same!
Sameeeee ❤😂
Same!
Wow, you may be a beginner but your tutorial skills are ADVANCED. I've been crocheting only for a few months and what you've done is so smart and better than what most YT tutorials do in that you offer three different notations (the video of you crocheting, the symbols and the abbreviations) but you also make note of things that easily trip up beginners like which hole to stitch into. So smart and so proud of you for dreaming this up and leveling up the crochet video tutorial game.
How you were able to not only complete this but teach it so early in your crochet journey just blows my mind and I've been crocheting for 50 years! You rock girl!
Listen, I’ve been crocheting for 16 years and I’ve never seen a better tutorial!!! I’m not joking! Thank you! Please PLEASE do more
You stated once that people with ADHD shouldn’t start with granny squares and then you put out this and now I dont know if I should or shouldnt take up making granny squares. Thanks Elise, my head hurts
i remember this (all too well) 😭
I'm a new crocheter and I get what she meant. When you're just getting started it can feel really overwhelming to have to do all of them. Now that I've been doing it a while the repetition is nice 😅
I think that when she said that she meant with standard patterns.
Which is why she came up with this granny squares tutorial; by putting together parts from several patterns & making this tutorial in a way that most ADHD brains can easily consume.
I can't remember her exact words, but presumably she meant for literally your first project. Like experiment and play about a bit first, kinda thing?
I think the hope with this tutorial is to teach in a way that she learns! So for visual processing and Elyse’s unique adhd learning.
Not me adding a bunch of views to this video watching it every time I make a square to prep making the sweater 😂
I've crocheted for 45 years and watched this video because I love your Shorts and was curious about how a newbie would teach. This is the actual best learn to crochet tutorial I've ever seen. My daughter has been wanting to learn and I've sent her a link. Great job!
Please, please, please do more tutorials! I'm a beginner, and this is the EASIEST tutorial I have followed BY FAR!!!! THANK-YOU!
"Make sure you count 16 double crochet, ok check again, again, and again. Move on to your next row, why is it weird? Oh because you made 17 double crochet... Cool frog it and redo. Why is it weird again? How are there 14 when I undid one?! Ok count a thousand times and use a stitch marker for each stitch! There perfect!" -Me trying to make a circle project. But I love crocheting more than anything ❤
I really need to buy some stitch markers already 😂 I’m determined to get crochet down pat! I finally got the middle part looking great, but I accidentally ended up having 9 flower petals 😬😂
I used a different color yarn before I got stitch markers in a pinch, I've also used safety pins and paper clips @@sharons9221
I just cant figure out the 16 part as well.. i did 16 DC but when I close the ring it’s 17 stitches.
This is EXACTLY how I learn. I’ve been watching beginner videos all evening and nothing has clicked. Thank you for posting this!!!
So, I have NOT been crocheting for over 20 years, not much more than about 20 days. I've watched your video and did it step by step - rewinding at least 10 times every round (even my husband now knows the stitches😂) -, pulling out at least a hundred times and starting all over.... but..... I did it! So proud of myself!!! 🏆🏆🏆And English isn't even my mother tongue. Now I wanted to learn my friend but don't know the Dutch words for all the different stitches🤦♀. Thank you so much for sharing!
I've been crocheting for 15 years, but I struggle with diagrams and reading patterns. It's just too much effort. I'm so glad I found your page!
My brain and crochet just doesn’t click but I still will watch the whole thing ❤️
Same 😢 I want to so bad but I just cannottt 😭
My brain hears double crochet but then my eyes see like 4 stitches and I can't grasp it. 😵💫
Knitting may be a better fit. I teach both and some people's brains really don't latch on to one or the other as well but thrive when the other craft is tried.
@@mc_creates3499 I will have to look at some videos to see if I can comprehend knitting. Thanks for the suggestion!
There are some great videos out there, I hope you find one that works out!
This is so relaxing to watch. The music, the stitching, the voice. Lovely
My thoughts exactly!! ❤
It's all soo good
Keep making crochet videos!! I have ‘known’ how to crochet for 16 years and never completed anything until watching your tutorial!
I would say I’m an intermediate-advancing crocheter and can read a pattern easily. You are a good teacher! Your edits and verbal instructions are easy to follow and I feel this video is perfect for a beginner. Confession, I hate stitching granny squares together.
I’ve been crocheting for almost 10 years, and I wish this video was around when I started!! The beginner videos are nice, but I definitely was a “dive right in” kind of person. Anyone who knows how to crochet can see all the work you put into this video, and honestly it’s the easiest crochet tutorial I have been able to follow along with! Thank you so much for all that you do ❤❤
Oh my gosh. Long time casual knitter here, I’ve been looking for a reason to start learning to crochet, and this might just be it. I have a feeling this is going to be my next obsession.
Just want to say your instructions, with the detail, the clarity, large text, are the best I've ever seen. I'm a retired teacher, so from a teaching/learning perspective, you nailed it.
I have been crocheting for over 10 years and this tutorial is the best I have watched by far! PLEASE do more!!
Seeing your shorts/tiktoks had peaked my interest in getting started, super excited to see this and I love how chill and practical your vibes are towards teaching this.
went to the yarn store this morning just to try this out, new hook and all. am now sitting here close to the tv so i can follow along:) its going well, wish i could show you. you are a very good teacher, ty for this video dear:)
My ADHD brain could actually following along with this entire video and not get distracted (much), which is impressive! I dabbled in crochet back in the day and am looking to try again. Did I watch this whole video with absolutely no crochet supplies? Yes. Yes I did. So I’ll be back once I actually have supplies :) please keep making these videos! I’m sure it takes a ton of work to make these, but I learned so much already! I appreciated that you went in real time for the first couple times before speeding up the video. My brain needed that. Thank you for doing this!
Two minutes in and I LOVE how you incorporated the charts and symbols right along side your work
Thank you for sharing. I have been crocheting for over 30 years and I must say your skills are absolutely admirable. You have combined chart reading, with abbreviations and advanced crochet skills into one tutorial packed with substance. So thank you for what you bring.
Elyse ... I love you for this.
Thank you for mainstreaming all the ways to learn crochet into one solid ass video.
You're goat.
As someone with adhd and has started crocheting recently I just want to say THANK YOU for making a tutorial I don’t immediately log off of . If you ever feel like making another tutorial my large basket full of yarn begging for me to finally use would be very thankful. 😂 great job 👏🏻 ❤
Not me crying like a baby because I've finally found a tutorial that actually works for me. ❤❤❤i cannot thank you enough
So excited to see this; thank you for working on this!! Sending positive healing thoughts for your son’s upcoming surgery. ❤❤❤
YAY! You knocked it out of the park!! This is amazing and so are you. Hang in there mama!
The fact that your content is this diverse makes my heart so happy.
Elyse, as someone with autism who needs things explained to me like I’m 5 half of the time, this is honestly such a good tutorial. I’ve never felt so confident in watching something that I could do it, but it’s because you’re so to the point and in detail that I’m able to follow along and understand. I hope you continue to make these. I also hope you know how appreciated and adored you are by people. ❤️
I’ve been waiting for this one! Thank you, crochet is so fun and healing. I love seeing other neurodivergent people thrive and be successful. You are an inspiration, Elyse❤️
Literally so proud of you for conquering pattern reading. You made it easy for those who can’t. I adore granny squares so much.
I love how approachable you make this! A lot of people make it overly complicated, so thank you!
I have been crocheting 40+ years, this is an awesome tutorial!! Great job! So proud of you!! Keep up the good work!!
ASMR from Elyse crocheting. I'm waiting for someone to arrive and now I want a nap, this is so relaxing. My guest will have to wake me up knocking on the door. I have a really hard time keeping count, and keeping even tension, but this is really pretty and a sweater of these would be so cool.
I’m so happy you finally got this done. I love crochet, I’m glad you found that you do too. You did a great job explaining. Thank you.
She did an excellent job explaining this granny square! I feel that I can send it to my friend who is just starting out with crochet could follow along! Elise should be so proud of herself!!
I loved the way you did this! It’s so inclusive of different learning style with the way you included written instructions and diagrams along with you actually crocheting. Loved it 10/10
Please do more of these. So clear and easy to follow and that gentle music in the background was just lovely. I am also teaching myself to crochet via TH-cam and more videos like this would make it much easier.
I have watched many crochet videos and this is by far one of the BEST crochet video's I have ever watched! So detailed and well explained! Well done on a VERY successful first crochet video!!! I can't wait to make this!!!!
I’ve been watching her storytimes and all that stuff for years. I never once thought I would be learning a crochet tutorial from her. A woman of many coats…
Finding out one of my favorite tiktokers does crocheting tutorials makes me so happy, this is really gonna help me stay interested in it🥰🥰🥰
ILYSM ELISE! Idc that I’m first just wanna say I love your videos and you inspire me so much. You made me start crocheting and now I’m making a blanket. THANK YOU ELISE!!!
I taught myself to crochet about 8 years ago. An amazing hobby where there’s always more to learn, more projects to tackle! And expensive.😂❤
You are a natural. I’m a beginner at crochet and you are perfectly understandable without being overly descriptive . Yay for you.. and me for watching your video!!
Thank you Elyse!! I made a small blanket for a veteran with this pattern. I made it red white and blue and it turned out beautiful! Thank you for the excellent tutorial!!❤
Literally as a fellow ADHDer, this is the best crochet tutorial is the best one I've ever followed. I really appreciated that, even though you sped up you crocheting each section, I could still keep up and get to the next part without having to pause and start over and over. I just finished my first one and it's literally one of my favorite squares I've ever made.
My mom taught me to crochet when I was a teenager. I made lots of granny squares for a throw then lost interest, so my mom ended up sewing them all together to finish it. I never crocheted again until about 5 years ago, and I did the same as you. I jumped headfirst into a project, never having read a pattern or anything. Lots of learning since then. I've watched tons of video tutorials, and yours was truly refreshing. You explained the process and the stitch sequence in small "chunks", and included the reason for certain stitches, like the increase. The organization of the info was perfect. The instructions were included at the top of the screen, the preview told us what was next, there was a visual showing what it was supposed to look like, and the corresponding symbols were easy to identify. Your pacing was just right, and your background music was very relaxing. You gave a lot of information, but it wasn't overwhelming at all. It's hard to believe it's your first tutorial or that you haven't been crocheting for years. You're a natural!
Elyse, you are such a huge inspiration to me. I gave crocheting a try because I saw the joy it brought you. I am so proud and happy to see this tutorial! Thank you so much for letting us share your personality and light
As a beginner with adhd can I just say thank YOU. Especially for the magic circle hack. Please do more of these tutorials. I will pay good money to be taught by you !!
My partner is a big fan of your shorts, as he finds them hilarious and endearing. He was pretty stoked to inform me that you had made a crochet tutorial because I’m a crochet hound. I gotta say, this is one of the finest crochet tutorials I’ve ever come across! Thank you!
I too, have never needed to use the magic circle. I've tried it and it makes sense if you need to adjust after closing the circle but for this use case - totally not needed. Also these are some of the best diagrams/illustrations I've ever seen for crochet. So much easier to understand with that visual!
Today's a sick day and I FINALLY started this project that has been in my head for months! Thank you for this amazing tutorial, Elyse! You're a gem 💎
I just want to say, I’ve loved watching you get into crochet and now you’re doing tutorials!!! Heck yeah, girl!!
I agree to the masses that say that this is one of the best tutorials they have seen. The different ways you allow people to gather their information through is amazing. its written, it is demonstrated and its shown clearly on a picture drawn out what is coming in the next step. Good speed, easy to follow, and very inspiring! Well d one.
Caught this when it posted. Just wanted to say, I love you Elyse! You're such an inspiration to me.
I’ve been knitting and crocheting for over 20 years but I found this video so fun, soothing and helpful! Thanks for doing this- it’s awesome!.
PLEASE PLEASE make more videos! This has been my favorite so far. I like your teaching style!🩷🩷
I thought I was the only one who learned this way!!!!! THANK YOU!
Anyone following along, be mindful that the stitch terminology is different in US and UK crochet patterns. (Not sure if anyone else has mentioned so apologies if so!)
I can’t believe that this is the only video on crocheting i have watched that makes complete and utter sense. Thank you 🥹
I finally finished my project from watching this tutorial. Love this tutorial!!!!
I find myself using playlists as tags. Or reverse tagging? Idk what to call it. I’m saving this under my crafts, clothes sewing, soothing background/body doubling, and feel better playlists. If I save it in one playlist, I may not see it for a long time. But if I add it to all applicable lists, it will pop up when I need it.
As someone who started crocheting two weeks ago Toto keep my hands busy and help prevent using so much social media scrolling, I’m so here for this tutorial.
the way you talk about crochet is exactly the dialog in my head. thanks for taking the jargon out and making it clear. love this project and this video is perfect! I also use crochet to reduce stress and love it!
I’m going to make this once I finish the blanket I’m working on. But I had to comment after watching 20 or so minutes of this… you are an EXCELLENT teacher.
I’ve been crocheting for years so I didn’t *need* a tutorial but I enjoyed this so much! The different views, graphics, your instructions…it was awesome!
I have been crocheting for 5 years now and this is the BEST toutorial i have seen. The way that you have taken the time to actually diagram each step is exactly what I needed all that time ago when I was learning new stitches. More please?
I am a knitter, but started crocheting granny squares. I love this so much! I plan on crocheting many flower power pillows. Thanks for this tutorial
I’ve been crocheting for over 10 years, and this is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. So clear and concise in your direction. Very well done! ❤
This is one of the best tutorials ever! I love how concisely you included so much information! So clear! So beautiful! So enjoyable to watch and easy to follow along! So much appreciation for this, I am so happy to have a new project!
im so serious when i say this tutorial was so amazingly detailed and made perfect sense to me. thank u!! more please!!
Had to come back.... your visual explaining is so clear! I'm going to enjoy being able to watch again and again while I get the hang of the pattern!
Great job Elyse! I normally stay away from color changes and granny squares, but you made it very approachable! Well done!
The fact that people are trying to cancel someone due to the fact this used to be, key word used to be for charity, theses days no ones buying a pattern , these day I don’t even think the money still goes towards the cause , and even if it did it’d be making maybe five dollars a week , come on now people , be more mature ! Elyse did this with such grace and elegance , I’m really in awe , love yah Elyse , keep going !!!!!
The day this video came out I made 4 daisy squares, this tutorial is amazing! Over 6 weeks I have made a blanket with them and I adore it so much!
You are THE BEST teacher. I remember thinking that when I watched your tutorial on your hair care routine but even more so here. So incredibly detailed and precise but easy for a beginner. And patient.... oh so patient. Thank you so much!
This is honestly the clearest and well put together crochet tutorial i have seen! From the way you're describing things clearly, to it being written on screen and you're showing the entire process! I loved it, and please do more of these if you can and will. Absolutely amazing
All tutirials should strive to be like this one! Very thorough and clear! Thank you!!! 😊❤
As a nerudodirgent crafting content creator, I also learn by just diving in and learning as I go. I am already a HUGE Elyse Myers fan so when you shared on TIKTOK that you did a video for your current crochet obsession, I had to come check it out and I was not disappointed! I actually watched from beginning to end and just wanted to tell you how well you did with explaining the concepts in a way that so many types of learners can understand! I've been obsessed with granny squares forever but this daisy is on my to do list. Thank you for just showing up as your authentic self!
ive been crocheting for almost 30 yrs and i love this tutorial im also an adhd crocheter and i loved your tutorial I didnt feel like i needed to skip past the "boring" parts because there wasn't any and youve inspired me to do these in neon and black cause bright colors make me happy
I’ve been crocheting for 30 years in and off and I’ve never tried a granny square. Can’t wait to follow this!
Love how you add the chart with each round ! Amazing and beautiful
Love, love, love how you show the picture of the round with the stitch symbols above them! Makes it super clear to me. And how you show the whole round pattern when you are finished with it. Thank you for sharing.
As someone who runs a crochet business and a chaotic crochet TH-cam channel, occasionally sharing tutorials, this is really TOP NOTCH work. You did amazing. I'm so sorry you've had drama over the fact that you released this tutorial but you did a great and incredibly thorough job, so don't let anyone tell you different!
Elyse… you’re such a good teacher. I really enjoyed being able to crochet along with you. I know you’re super busy but if you have time and if you’re so inclined I would love to see more tutorials from you. ❤
You are awesome! I started crocheting about 2 years ago, and I never would have finished this GS if it wasn't for you. Thank you so much! Keep up your fantastic work!🤗
Oh my gosh Elyse!! This is what I’ve been needing!! I’m very much a novice, but I always just follow videos and always tell people how I can’t read patterns… but this will totally connect the dots for me!! Thank you for doing this!!
you're such a good teacher, i've been intimidated by using multiple colors at once and doing something more complicated than a simple granny square, but you made this so easy to follow! thank you!!
I'm teaching my daughter how to crochet and I feel like she can actually do this. Thank you so much for your time.
This video was probably a ton of work to edit and produce, but WOW. Super clear and easy to follow, the charts and graphs, instructions at the beginning of each round, charts, updated instructions on the screen. You've done an amazing job!! I loved it.
My first reaction, I LOVE how big these granny squares are, so many I find as a beginner are tiny! Much more satisfying to have a big square!
Elyse, I just wanted to say thank you for this amazing tutorial! I have sat through the entire video twice and have now made two beautiful squares. Your instructions are so clear and you got at a great pace. So thank you thank you! ❤❤
I love this tutorial so much! I had to watch a few parts a couple times to fully understand where I should be crocheting into but it was super easy to follow. I'll be watching this over and over. Please do more crochet tutorials!
I've been waiting like forever to see you put out your crocheting in tutorial form. I love you as a person, you give such wonderful vibes and you always show up in my feed with amazing things to say that make me feel safe and okay with life. You're basically the big sister i wish i had growing up. Thank you for existing and putting yourself out there ❤ i wish nothing but the best to you and your family
