@@serenumia that sucks lol, but you should try to make it. I recommend starting off with a magic circle (it’s easier then it sounds) and then doing a row of chains, and then just some single crochets or crochet increases
Can I just say, I started crocheting 3 days ago, and I have the basics. I then stumbled across some of your videos to get a few more stitches under my belt, and you explained everything so beautifully. I decided to watch this one incase you explain anything further than what I’ve already learnt. Wow, instead of just telling people how to do things, you explain WHY, and I love that! Thank you
Exactly! I remember a job I had in my early employment days. Another young woman who was training me would never tell me why something was being done, no matter how obscure the method of executing a task might be. When I finally decided I could keep my mouth shut no longer, I finally asked if she could tell me why a particular thing was done the way it was. Omg, you'd think I'd just questioned a freakin Schutzstaffel!.... "WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHY; WE JUST DO IT!" Her words! Seriously! About knocked my socks off. I quit shortly afterwards, since *her* boss felt the same way. If a method or process feels even remotely unintuitive to me, I've always felt the strong compulsion to know why it's done the way it is. For me, knowing WHY just helps me understand the larger scheme of how things work. I like things to make sense.... always have.
If you are struggling READ THIS! You can do it. Take a break and come back later. Watch again and then when you try again you can play the part you need on the slowest setting. There are speed controls on TH-cam to help you. ☺️ It doesn’t always come the first several tries. I know. When I first started I tried over and over and just wasn’t getting it. I just needed to give myself grace and time to learn. Everyone learns at different speeds. Your brain and body are learning to do something new together and many times it is the learning from our mistakes that help us become better at something. Remember when we first learn to walk we learn to get up on our hands and knees and then crawl. Hugs to you.
I hope this doesn’t come out wrong, but I feel like I’m learning from such a loving grandma! You explain so well, you work slow enough to see the hand work, and this is so encouraging too!
Mike Hart I’m so glad you enjoyed it! ☺️ I’m so sorry but I have to delete you comment now that there are rules enforced on kids under 13 commenting.

I love ur teaching . I went through lot of videos but they confused me further, buts yours is the most detailed n u also teach the concepts so I can get a better idea . I have subscribed . Look forward to learning more crochet skills from u . U r awesome
Oh man, started doing this today and was able to compleat my first strand, but I had no idea how to start the next row. I watched 20 different videos trying to figure it and and yours was the one to do the trick! Thank you so much!!!
@@ahmedb.9178 "do a not", do you mean your slip knot? There are several ways to make one. Let me know if that is the part you need help on and I can see how to direct you maybe to a different video
@@GoodKnitKisses im having the same problem as them, what happens is when i try and do the single stitch, the first one makes a knot and then when i inevitably mess up i have to restart entirely. is it supposed to make a knot?
God THANK YOU. I've gone through SO many tutorials that were so unclear and didn't explain so many things; it was such a relief to finally come across this video and FINALLY have someone explain the things that seem obvious to someone who knows what they're doing.
I want to give you a deeply sincere thank you. I have been trying to learn to crochet all evening and your video was the one that helped me. I never got to learn from my grandmother and she's going through a very rough time right now and it's given me something to feel close to her while I sit with her. Thank you
I've been wanting to learn how to crochet for a while, and now that the world is on lockdown I have the time. I picked up one pack of yarn and one crochet needle at the store the other day, and started looking up "Crochet for beginners" videos on TH-cam. You are my 4th video and I won't be looking for a 5th! The videos I watched before were all over the place, didn't describe anything, use "correct" terminology ("that's what i say but that's not really what it's called") type of stuff. NOT HELPFUL AT ALL!!! I was about to just give up completely but I found your video and I think I'm starting to get it, even improving a bit! Thanks for your instruction, and also your voice is very soothing! I will keep watching until I'm a prefessional!!!
Dian Lajdziak hey Dian, this is Denise! I know that with everything going on right now it's easy to be frustrated about something simple! But just try to remember, everybody teaches differently! I'm glad that you finally found someone that you could understand instead of giving up!
This is exactly why happened to me!!! I was about to start crying like “I’m so awful I can’t even begin to learn how to do this”! Found this video and within 30 minutes could see my stitches getting tighter, I was holding it more comfortably 🥰 What a gem she is!!
I’m really really struggling with this! Not sure why it’s so hard for my brain and hands to just be on the same page 😓 I wanted to learn to crochet so I can make Christmas gifts instead of spending so much money. But it’s proving more difficult than I anticipated. Thank you for a WONDERFUL video it has been the best one yet. Anyone reading this, WE CAN DO IT!!! DONT GIVE UP☺️
@prettyjewls ~ Don’t know if you’ll see this, I’m replying to your post from 10 months ago but hope you do❤ I’ve found that taking a break from a lesson and returning a month or even two later, the stitch clicks. As you wrote, DON’T GIVE UP❤
I just threw my yarn and hook across the room. I’m so frustrated. I can do chain.. then next phase but when I turn to do the row where it goes through two I can’t get it. I want to cry😢
Thank you! For your TH-cam tutorials! My daughter has learnt how to "Crochet" from you and she also has a disability so it is inspiring her and sometimes she gets people saying she can't do things when she can thanks to you.
Raymond Holgate This lady has a soothing and non-condescending voice. And I love that she sort of speak has us viewing over her shoulder which helps tremendously. Hooray for your daughter!
You. You are a life saver. I've been knitting for about 15 years, finally decided to learn crochet-- I'm sick of spending a thousand years on a very limited variety of projects. Oh it will be so easy to learn from a TH-cam video! I'm a smart lady that can figure things out, I'll just watch a few videos and it will be simple! Uh. No. This is the first video I have found that answers all my questions and shows everything from the perspective of teaching a skill to someone with no background in this area rather than showing this to someone who already knows what they're doing. Can't thank you enough!!
I’ve never crocheted before. I watched about 5 videos before this and you were my favorite. It took me a few watch throughs but I got it down pretty good! Thank you!!!
Houndstooth stitch video is ready so you can make that two color square!! It launches in the morning. Here is the link! th-cam.com/video/rsq_0JCmtBU/w-d-xo.html
@@Inkified true but people are knitting AND crocheting his sweater. Lots of new crocheters out there but also new knitters all because Harry inspired them. I figure if someone on my channel is commenting it won’t be long till they figure out the right terms. But until then I’m super excited just to have new people learning. It’s really an exciting time. ❤️
I've been trying to learn how to crochet for years. I've watched so many other tutorials, had a friend try to help, but it never made sense and I would end up with a big knot. I watched this video this morning and the way you explained it made everything click for me. I finished up my first square just a few minutes ago. It's wonky-looking for sure. I've got to figure out how to keep the tension on the yarn consistent and I added a stitch to the end of some of the rows so I'll have to go back and watch that part of the video again but I did it! Thank you!
I am a self-taught knitter and want to learn crochet. After looking at other videos on TH-cam, I find yours to be the best Illustrated. Your calm demeanor is also an added bonus. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent!
omg ive been watching so many crochet tutorials and following every step but always ended up doing something wrong and get frustrated and give up, until I stumbled on your video! Thank you so much for taking the time to teach how to crochet and thank you for being an amazing teacher!
I have found these tutorials enormously helpful. I did have to watch them through a few times because I am hopelessly forgetful but at 51 years old I can finally crochet and have just completed a baby blanket in pastel squares in single crochet. How satisfying :) I am about to progress to another stitch now I have cracked that one. My husband told me to give up at one point because of my frustration levels but I persevered and I'm so glad I did. The trickiest part was learning my own technique particularly the first chain as it's fiddly and you have to master how to hold the hook and wool that is comfortable for you but don't give up, you'll get there with it :) Thanks so much for posting these online. Lockdown has been grim at times but I have found learning a new skill has helped take my mind off it. Onward and upward - take care and stay safe all you crocheters xx
Thank you so much. I just logged in to your videos. I used to be able to do granny squares many years ago but I forgot. You are SO easy to follow! Can't wait to get some yarn and get started!
I’ve had so many friends try to teach me to crochet, and I could never figure it out. This is not the first video I’ve watched, but it IS the first one that actually helped me. Thanks so much for slowing things down and going over things that may seem common sense but aren’t. It’s very appreciated!
Houndstooth stitch video is ready so you can make that two color square!! It launches in the morning. Here is the link! th-cam.com/video/rsq_0JCmtBU/w-d-xo.html
This is the best learn to crochet video that I've come across. I've been through a handful and felt like I still had questions. The instructions are super clear, technique is clear all the questions I still had were answered in this video. I feel like I have a good grasp on the single crochet and I will be using her videos to learn all the other techniques. Also nice choice of colour on the yarn, I saw the stitches clearly! Seriously SO happy I found this!!!
I did it! over the course of 2 days, I made my square. This is my first attempt at crocheting, but this success gives me confidence to continue learning. Thanks your video!
I've been trying all week to learn how to crochet and have watched numerous videos...this by far is the easiest one to follow. So looking forward to making something.
Thank you! You're the first person to mention how the shaft creates the size of the stitches, and the way you hold your yarn is the only way I've been able to control the tension properly!
It's my second day of trying crochet and I had a huge progress from what I've started yesterday. I love how you explain, it really helped me catch up! ❤️
everyone’s here because they’re making a cardigan and I’m no exception hahaha thank you so much for this video! it’s so easy to understand, clearly shows everything, and the slow motions recaps are so incredibly appreciated. also this channel name is the cutest thing ever!! 😭💙
You make this SO easy to understand! Thank you. You speak at a slow but natural rate, you don’t try to shove every “if, and or but” into making a single crochet stitch. Thank you!
Thank you for your detailed walkthrough! Especially for how you take the time to actually explain WHY your hook/yarn has to be a certain way instead of just telling us WHAT we should do
I learned crochet through wonderful channels like yours. I’m very grateful for you crocheting TH-cam channels I have the wonderful privilege now to teach my 12 year old sister and her friends. And will share your videos with them as well so they can practice with your help in their own
@@loulou1248 Thank you so much for your encouraging words today. I’m thrilled to have been part of your journey and you helping pass it forward! That’s so wonderful. I really needed this sweet note today. It’s been a hard one. Much love and blessings.
This was great, I am kind of self taught. I was shown about 42 years ago to make a granny square, which was my first ever project. Now I know how to work the yarn around my fingers to hold on to it with out being to tight on my fingers or sliding off my fingers. I could keep on telling you how much you have shown me., but it would be a book. When I get through all your classes I want to make a cardigan for myself . Love the way you teach,explain and show us how to do the stitches.Thank you 🖒⚘
I've gone through several different videos(I've never crocheted) and none of them made complete sense. This video, made it all click! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this!! I just started crocheting yesterday and heard the best thing to start with is a granny square. Ever since I have watched tons and tons of videos and they just didn’t seem to work for me. I messed up many times, until I came across your video!! I love how you explain exactly what to do and your voice is calming to me!! Anyways, thanks so much!!
Thank you so very much my older sister probably 30 years ago showed me how to crochet and I completely forgot she has passed I Can't ask her so thank you for putting this video up you remind me of her it's easier to learn when you like the person teaching you with much gratitude thank you and merry Christmas
I’ve wanted to learn to crochet for a while now and this was extremely helpful! Other vids got me frustrated while this was well paced and very detailed. Thank you sm!!!
Thank you so much! I started crocheting a few days ago and I can now see where I was going wrong. (Too tight on the tension.) My left hand is still a sissy with the yarn, but I'm doing much better now. You are a good teacher!
OMGOMGMGOMG THIS WAS LIKE MY 5TH TUTORIAL VIDEO I WATCHED AND I FINALLY DID A LITTLE STRIP OF SINGLE CROCHET!!! TYSMM IM GONNA GO WATCH MORE OF UR TUTORIALS NOW :))))))
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.
Thank you so much for doing this slower. I so appreciate it and am confident now that I can follow along. I’d love to learn how to actually read a pattern and follow it. I’m new at crocheting. 🙂 Thanks again and God bless.
THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER !! Every other tutorial made me feel like an idiot while skipping half the steps in this video ! Tutorial makers take notes ! The clear and concise explanation that are evident of genuine understanding and care for the craft, the slowing down of faster parts to ensure that you're never confused, explaining little things like where exactly to place the hook when starting a new chain or how to go back and redo a part ! I've seen tutorials that claim to be slow and for beginners while they use technical jargon and speed through the basic steps ! This tutorial understands that when someone is watching a beginner video it's because they *don't* know how to crochet !
Thank you for this video (and series). I tried learning this stitch from other videos, but wasn't able to make sense of it at all. The way you slowly showed the steps involved and explained them all made this make a lot more sense to me, and helped me in feeling confident enough to complete your Basic Dishcloth pattern!
When i say your video just helped me in all my years of living, finally understand and begin to crochet, i mean it. I finally started crocheting and i've made two mini projects in these past two days. i owe you my life 🫂 no other video compares to this one, queen!
Just to echo so many other comments, your beginner tutorial is AMAZING! Thank you so much for being such a good teacher. I am confident that I'll stick with your beginner series and finally learn how to freaking crochet!
This is so incredibly helpful to those who have never even dabbled in crochet before! I also appreciate the slow-motion replays in case we blinked and missed it! Saving this for later and thank you so much again!
Oh my gosh, thank you SO MUCH for the detailed explanation!! I’ve been trying to learn how to crochet (and had my mom show me while she was visiting), but I needed a much slower tutorial. The book I bought helps some, but it’s not the same as watching someone crochet. The close ups & slow motion are extremely helpful!! It was like having you sit on the sofa next to me. 😁😁😁
I find you’re clear and to the point, unlike other videos I’ve watched. I finally have the single crochet down pat. Yoohoo! I hope I’ll be able to find you again on the double crochet and so forth. Thank you very much. 🧶☕️💖
This is a REALLY beginner friendly video! It's so detailed and well explained for me, even as someone who has no crocheting background at all! Love how slow mo replays are included so no details can be miss out :D
Thanx for this video that shows samples of other stitch patterns next to each other at the same time in the same color yarn to compare from one sample stitch to the other next to it.
Maria L. Rapaglia Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback. Actually that is helpful for me in future videos. How is your crochet coming along?
Excellent video. You didn’t take any knowledge for granted and I especially liked the slow motion replays of certain techniques. I went from buying yarn and my first needle to having a new scarf (although not exactly totally perfect haha) in one afternoon thanks to you!
Bill Hughes that is awesome!!!! Way to go ❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words and comment. I’m sorry it took me so long to see it. How is your crochet going now?
The turning chain 🤯 The answer to all my problems! Thank you for showing in detail where to loop your hook at the ends of your rows, because of you I have finally graduated from the triangle lol
I started crochet 2 days ago and was struggling with keeping tension an always seemed to do my second row too tight, this vid has helped me a lot thank you..subscribed and liked
I started today I learned how to do crocheting but I made it the length I want it and can’t seem to do it right for making it 2 rows can someone please give me step by step instruction not verbal
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this really concise and well presented video! I've been trying to grasp this for over a week and this is the best video I've seen. Crystal clear!
Kristen, these videos are great! I just subscribed so that I can watch them all. I am a seasoned knitter who is easily confused by crochet, but your teaching style is exactly what I need. Thank you!!!
I have been trying to learn for years and this video has finally done the job!! Thank-you!! It’s clear, in focus, good contrast of colour and your instruction is the perfect amount of detail.❤
thank you for your help! i knew how to crochet but after the second row, it got all bunched up and i didn't know why, thanks to your video, i was able to understand my mistake! The other tutorials on TH-cam are super bland and short but you will tell exactly why this vs. that needs to happen. I am going to make a coaster and them embroider it!
Thank you so much for making this video it has given me so much more confidence since starting to learn crocheting two days ago, definitely subscribing 😁
Thank you so much for this! I’m just starting out and wasn’t sure if my stitches were too loose or too tight. I watched several videos but none explained bringing the loop down so it measures correctly. Makes perfect sense now!
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I need all of your explanation, in order to figure this out. I appreciate how you think about what questions a person may have, as you explain how to do things. I can sense you did this, because of how much details you add in your explanation.

Yeah you really helped me
Hey how is it going now?
I don’t think you understand how much I appreciate the slow mo replays 😭🙌🏽
If you are struggling READ THIS! You can do it. Take a break and come back later. Watch again and then when you try again you can play the part you need on the slowest setting. There are speed controls on TH-cam to help you. ☺️ It doesn’t always come the first several tries. I know. When I first started I tried over and over and just wasn’t getting it. I just needed to give myself grace and time to learn. Everyone learns at different speeds. Your brain and body are learning to do something new together and many times it is the learning from our mistakes that help us become better at something. Remember when we first learn to walk we learn to get up on our hands and knees and then crawl. Hugs to you.

Oh man, started doing this today and was able to compleat my first strand, but I had no idea how to start the next row. I watched 20 different videos trying to figure it and and yours was the one to do the trick! Thank you so much!!!
I'm so glad I could help. Way to go on starting your crochet journey! You can do this :-)
@@GoodKnitKisses umm every time I do a not it will not work
@@ahmedb.9178 "do a not", do you mean your slip knot? There are several ways to make one. Let me know if that is the part you need help on and I can see how to direct you maybe to a different video
I do the same when I am trying to learn something.
@@GoodKnitKisses im having the same problem as them, what happens is when i try and do the single stitch, the first one makes a knot and then when i inevitably mess up i have to restart entirely. is it supposed to make a knot?
not me watching this at midnight never having crocheted before studying for the harry cardigan
this is my third time watching this video to make sure I don't mess up the harry cardigan
MEEEEEE
God THANK YOU. I've gone through SO many tutorials that were so unclear and didn't explain so many things; it was such a relief to finally come across this video and FINALLY have someone explain the things that seem obvious to someone who knows what they're doing.
I want to give you a deeply sincere thank you. I have been trying to learn to crochet all evening and your video was the one that helped me. I never got to learn from my grandmother and she's going through a very rough time right now and it's given me something to feel close to her while I sit with her. Thank you
Wonderful! SO glad to have helped :-)
its crazy how far i'll go just to make a little bumble bee
you and me both
Thanks. Now I’m making a bumblebee
i love how we’re all here for the harry sweater
noelle foor i love ur pfp 🤭
I love your profile pic 😃👍
omg how did u know loll
I’m not
I’m here for a bag
I've been wanting to learn how to crochet for a while, and now that the world is on lockdown I have the time. I picked up one pack of yarn and one crochet needle at the store the other day, and started looking up "Crochet for beginners" videos on TH-cam. You are my 4th video and I won't be looking for a 5th! The videos I watched before were all over the place, didn't describe anything, use "correct" terminology ("that's what i say but that's not really what it's called") type of stuff. NOT HELPFUL AT ALL!!! I was about to just give up completely but I found your video and I think I'm starting to get it, even improving a bit! Thanks for your instruction, and also your voice is very soothing! I will keep watching until I'm a prefessional!!!
Dian Lajdziak hey Dian, this is Denise! I know that with everything going on right now it's easy to be frustrated about something simple! But just try to remember, everybody teaches differently! I'm glad that you finally found someone that you could understand instead of giving up!
Don't forget to leave your chains loose
I love you
This is exactly why happened to me!!!
I was about to start crying like “I’m so awful I can’t even begin to learn how to do this”!
Found this video and within 30 minutes could see my stitches getting tighter, I was holding it more comfortably 🥰
What a gem she is!!
Watched tons of videos on single stitch and this is the only one that I understood and I am very grateful. 🙏🎉
I’m really really struggling with this! Not sure why it’s so hard for my brain and hands to just be on the same page 😓 I wanted to learn to crochet so I can make Christmas gifts instead of spending so much money.
But it’s proving more difficult than I anticipated. Thank you for a WONDERFUL video it has been the best one yet.
Anyone reading this, WE CAN DO IT!!! DONT GIVE UP☺️
@prettyjewls ~ Don’t know if you’ll see this, I’m replying to your post from 10 months ago but hope you do❤ I’ve found that taking a break from a lesson and returning a month or even two later, the stitch clicks. As you wrote, DON’T GIVE UP❤
@@melissaR19989 LOL I GAVE UP. But now I’m gonna try again!!! Thanks for answering ❤️
I just threw my yarn and hook across the room. I’m so frustrated. I can do chain.. then next phase but when I turn to do the row where it goes through two I can’t get it. I want to cry😢
Thank you! For your TH-cam tutorials! My daughter has learnt how to "Crochet" from you and she also has a disability so it is inspiring her and sometimes she gets people saying she can't do things when she can thanks to you.
Raymond Holgate This lady has a soothing and non-condescending voice. And I love that she sort of speak has us viewing over her shoulder which helps tremendously. Hooray for your daughter!
You. You are a life saver. I've been knitting for about 15 years, finally decided to learn crochet-- I'm sick of spending a thousand years on a very limited variety of projects. Oh it will be so easy to learn from a TH-cam video! I'm a smart lady that can figure things out, I'll just watch a few videos and it will be simple!
Uh. No.
This is the first video I have found that answers all my questions and shows everything from the perspective of teaching a skill to someone with no background in this area rather than showing this to someone who already knows what they're doing. Can't thank you enough!!
Jessica Miller Thank you so much! I’m so glad it clicked for you. Way to go in your perseverance. ❤️❤️ How are things coming along?
YES! THIS! I just left a comment above ( I see your comment was a year ago but still, 100% exactly the way I feel!)
everyone: I came here to learn how to make the harry cardigan
me: I just wanna learn how to do something during quarantine-
same here
Same😅😂🤣🌿✨
Haha same 😅
Same
That was 3 years ago 💀
i watched thousands of videos.. this one only helped me.. thank you so much keep going
I’ve never crocheted before. I watched about 5 videos before this and you were my favorite. It took me a few watch throughs but I got it down pretty good! Thank you!!!
Everyone talking about The Harry Cardigan I don't know what that is so I searched it up and now I also wanna make one lol.ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!!
the fact that we're all harries, trying to make the cardigan
Houndstooth stitch video is ready so you can make that two color square!! It launches in the morning. Here is the link! th-cam.com/video/rsq_0JCmtBU/w-d-xo.html
yeah, i want it so bad but i don’t have money to buy it hahahs so here i am
YES BRUH
i’m trying to make a louis cardigan
Harry Styles got the whole fandom knitting💀
Seriously 😍
This isn't knitting
@@Inkified true but people are knitting AND crocheting his sweater. Lots of new crocheters out there but also new knitters all because Harry inspired them. I figure if someone on my channel is commenting it won’t be long till they figure out the right terms. But until then I’m super excited just to have new people learning. It’s really an exciting time. ❤️

I've been trying to learn how to crochet for years. I've watched so many other tutorials, had a friend try to help, but it never made sense and I would end up with a big knot. I watched this video this morning and the way you explained it made everything click for me. I finished up my first square just a few minutes ago. It's wonky-looking for sure. I've got to figure out how to keep the tension on the yarn consistent and I added a stitch to the end of some of the rows so I'll have to go back and watch that part of the video again but I did it! Thank you!
I am a self-taught knitter and want to learn crochet. After looking at other videos on TH-cam, I find yours to be the best Illustrated. Your calm demeanor is also an added bonus. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent!
How are you self thought? Like how did that happen!?😂
her: *speaks*
me: i like your funny words magic man
Heeehee
omg ive been watching so many crochet tutorials and following every step but always ended up doing something wrong and get frustrated and give up, until I stumbled on your video! Thank you so much for taking the time to teach how to crochet and thank you for being an amazing teacher!
Reemi You are so kind, thanks for your encouraging words 💞

I have found these tutorials enormously helpful. I did have to watch them through a few times because I am hopelessly forgetful but at 51 years old I can finally crochet and have just completed a baby blanket in pastel squares in single crochet. How satisfying :) I am about to progress to another stitch now I have cracked that one. My husband told me to give up at one point because of my frustration levels but I persevered and I'm so glad I did. The trickiest part was learning my own technique particularly the first chain as it's fiddly and you have to master how to hold the hook and wool that is comfortable for you but don't give up, you'll get there with it :) Thanks so much for posting these online. Lockdown has been grim at times but I have found learning a new skill has helped take my mind off it. Onward and upward - take care and stay safe all you crocheters xx
Thank you so much. I just logged in to your videos. I used to be able to do granny squares many years ago but I forgot. You are SO easy to follow! Can't wait to get some yarn and get started!
You are so good at explaining relevant and useful details and tips for beginners! Thanks!
I’ve had so many friends try to teach me to crochet, and I could never figure it out. This is not the first video I’ve watched, but it IS the first one that actually helped me. Thanks so much for slowing things down and going over things that may seem common sense but aren’t. It’s very appreciated!
anybody else here to learn how to crochet Harrys cardigan from the today show??
YES LMAO
YEAH LMAO
Alanna Outlaw Yes!!
Houndstooth stitch video is ready so you can make that two color square!! It launches in the morning. Here is the link! th-cam.com/video/rsq_0JCmtBU/w-d-xo.html
This is the best learn to crochet video that I've come across. I've been through a handful and felt like I still had questions. The instructions are super clear, technique is clear all the questions I still had were answered in this video. I feel like I have a good grasp on the single crochet and I will be using her videos to learn all the other techniques. Also nice choice of colour on the yarn, I saw the stitches clearly! Seriously SO happy I found this!!!
MjjbgdhhajaJJam
I did it! over the course of 2 days, I made my square. This is my first attempt at crocheting, but this success gives me confidence to continue learning. Thanks your video!
thank you so much for this, this is the first video i've come across that actually explains everything for beginners, i can't thank you enough
The fact that we are all here to do that cardigan and that we are all harries. I love this fandom
Y’all are a pretty great group!
No one does slow motion replays! You are a queen!
I've been trying all week to learn how to crochet and have watched numerous videos...this by far is the easiest one to follow. So looking forward to making something.
This video really helped! I tried so many other videos but this is the only video that worked for me.
Thank you! You're the first person to mention how the shaft creates the size of the stitches, and the way you hold your yarn is the only way I've been able to control the tension properly!
It's my second day of trying crochet and I had a huge progress from what I've started yesterday. I love how you explain, it really helped me catch up! ❤️
Oh gosh, you have no idea how many videos I watched trying to get a straight forward yet informative tutorial. This was perfect! Thank you!!!! ☺️
My pleasure. I’m so glad it helped! Be sure to come back for more lessons 😄❤️
everyone’s here because they’re making a cardigan and I’m no exception hahaha
thank you so much for this video! it’s so easy to understand, clearly shows everything, and the slow motions recaps are so incredibly appreciated. also this channel name is the cutest thing ever!! 😭💙
🥰🥰Aww! I’m so glad to have helped. Thank you for your kind words. This series was made with love for sure ❤️❤️
You make this SO easy to understand! Thank you. You speak at a slow but natural rate, you don’t try to shove every “if, and or but” into making a single crochet stitch. Thank you!
Thank you! You made crocheting so much easier to understand. I greatly appreciate all of your tips.
Thank you for your detailed walkthrough! Especially for how you take the time to actually explain WHY your hook/yarn has to be a certain way instead of just telling us WHAT we should do
Currently here to learn how to make something for my lovely friend and your tutorials are really comprehensive. Thank you, sorry I’m 5 years late lol
You’re right on time! I’m sure your friend will appreciate your thoughtfulness! So proud of you.
Omg, genuinely can’t express how much the first 5 minutes have helped already! Ryan for sharing your patience and skill with us ❤️
I was struggling to learn anything for the past 3 days, your tutorial is amazing. I finally am starting to understand ❤ thank you!
I learned crochet through wonderful channels like yours. I’m very grateful for you crocheting TH-cam channels
I have the wonderful privilege now to teach my 12 year old sister and her friends.
And will share your videos with them as well so they can practice with your help in their own
@@loulou1248 Thank you so much for your encouraging words today. I’m thrilled to have been part of your journey and you helping pass it forward! That’s so wonderful. I really needed this sweet note today. It’s been a hard one. Much love and blessings.
Damn harry is powerful😭
This was great, I am kind of self taught. I was shown about 42 years ago to make a granny square, which was my first ever project. Now I know how to work the yarn around my fingers to hold on to it with out being to tight on my fingers or sliding off my fingers. I could keep on telling you how much you have shown me., but it would be a book. When I get through all your classes I want to make a cardigan for myself . Love the way you teach,explain and show us how to do the stitches.Thank you 🖒⚘
Carolyn Watts you’re welcome, I’m soooo glad you enjoyed it and it helped!!
I've gone through several different videos(I've never crocheted) and none of them made complete sense. This video, made it all click! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this!! I just started crocheting yesterday and heard the best thing to start with is a granny square. Ever since I have watched tons and tons of videos and they just didn’t seem to work for me. I messed up many times, until I came across your video!! I love how you explain exactly what to do and your voice is calming to me!! Anyways, thanks so much!!
this is the best tutorial ever. i was struggling for 5 months with this but when i saw your video i got it right
Thank you so very much my older sister probably 30 years ago showed me how to crochet and I completely forgot she has passed I Can't ask her so thank you for putting this video up you remind me of her it's easier to learn when you like the person teaching you with much gratitude thank you and merry Christmas
I’ve wanted to learn to crochet for a while now and this was extremely helpful! Other vids got me frustrated while this was well paced and very detailed. Thank you sm!!!
Mannie K oh thank you for your kind encouragement. ❤️ I’m so glad you found it helpful.
Thank you so much! I started crocheting a few days ago and I can now see where I was going wrong. (Too tight on the tension.) My left hand is still a sissy with the yarn, but I'm doing much better now. You are a good teacher!
OMGOMGMGOMG THIS WAS LIKE MY 5TH TUTORIAL VIDEO I WATCHED AND I FINALLY DID A LITTLE STRIP OF SINGLE CROCHET!!! TYSMM IM GONNA GO WATCH MORE OF UR TUTORIALS NOW :))))))
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.
Thank you so much for doing this slower. I so appreciate it and am confident now that I can follow along. I’d love to learn how to actually read a pattern and follow it. I’m new at crocheting. 🙂
Thanks again and God bless.
THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER !! Every other tutorial made me feel like an idiot while skipping half the steps in this video ! Tutorial makers take notes ! The clear and concise explanation that are evident of genuine understanding and care for the craft, the slowing down of faster parts to ensure that you're never confused, explaining little things like where exactly to place the hook when starting a new chain or how to go back and redo a part ! I've seen tutorials that claim to be slow and for beginners while they use technical jargon and speed through the basic steps !
This tutorial understands that when someone is watching a beginner video it's because they *don't* know how to crochet !
I really appreciate the well-placed slow-mo.
Thank you for this video (and series). I tried learning this stitch from other videos, but wasn't able to make sense of it at all.
The way you slowly showed the steps involved and explained them all made this make a lot more sense to me, and helped me in feeling confident enough to complete your Basic Dishcloth pattern!
When i say your video just helped me in all my years of living, finally understand and begin to crochet, i mean it. I finally started crocheting and i've made two mini projects in these past two days. i owe you my life 🫂 no other video compares to this one, queen!
Just to echo so many other comments, your beginner tutorial is AMAZING! Thank you so much for being such a good teacher. I am confident that I'll stick with your beginner series and finally learn how to freaking crochet!
This is so incredibly helpful to those who have never even dabbled in crochet before! I also appreciate the slow-motion replays in case we blinked and missed it! Saving this for later and thank you so much again!
Oh my gosh, thank you SO MUCH for the detailed explanation!! I’ve been trying to learn how to crochet (and had my mom show me while she was visiting), but I needed a much slower tutorial. The book I bought helps some, but it’s not the same as watching someone crochet. The close ups & slow motion are extremely helpful!! It was like having you sit on the sofa next to me. 😁😁😁
I find you’re clear and to the point, unlike other videos I’ve watched. I finally have the single crochet down pat. Yoohoo! I hope I’ll be able to find you again on the double crochet and so forth. Thank you very much. 🧶☕️💖
ive watched like 47 videos on how to crochet and this is the only on that made me understand thank u !!!!
Out of all the beginner crochet videos I've watched, yours is the most helpful. Thanks, you got a new subscriber now 😊
everyone: i wanna make a ✨c a r d i g a n✨
me: i wanna make a blanket for my kitten uwu
I made a crochet hat for my but apparently he doesn't want to wear it 😭😭
@@annadrozdz3040 Our cats are kings. If they don’t wanna wear it, they won’t.😭
@@annadrozdz3040 Yes, my cats won't either
Thank you because my two daughters are really trying to learn crochet, but when they found this video it really helped them.😀😇🙏🏼
Actually i was a beginner who never had patience but when i started watching your vidros it feels like crocheting is so easy❤
Thankyou so much! I did single stich crochet and now i am crazy happy cause i gave up like 3 times months ago! Thankyou ❤
This is a REALLY beginner friendly video! It's so detailed and well explained for me, even as someone who has no crocheting background at all! Love how slow mo replays are included so no details can be miss out :D
Thanx for this video that shows samples of other stitch patterns next to each other at the same time in the same color yarn to compare from one sample stitch to the other next to it.
Maria L. Rapaglia Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback. Actually that is helpful for me in future videos. How is your crochet coming along?
OK I guess-hopefully with no mistakes.
Excellent video. You didn’t take any knowledge for granted and I especially liked the slow motion replays of certain techniques. I went from buying yarn and my first needle to having a new scarf (although not exactly totally perfect haha) in one afternoon thanks to you!
Bill Hughes that is awesome!!!! Way to go ❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words and comment. I’m sorry it took me so long to see it. How is your crochet going now?
The turning chain 🤯 The answer to all my problems! Thank you for showing in detail where to loop your hook at the ends of your rows, because of you I have finally graduated from the triangle lol
my friend crochets so I wanna surprise him by making him something, this is a wonderful place to start it was so simple and easy. tysm!
I started crochet 2 days ago and was struggling with keeping tension an always seemed to do my second row too tight, this vid has helped me a lot thank you..subscribed and liked
I started today I learned how to do crocheting but I made it the length I want it and can’t seem to do it right for making it 2 rows can someone please give me step by step instruction not verbal
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this really concise and well presented video! I've been trying to grasp this for over a week and this is the best video I've seen. Crystal clear!
Kristen, these videos are great! I just subscribed so that I can watch them all. I am a seasoned knitter who is easily confused by crochet, but your teaching style is exactly what I need. Thank you!!!
I have been trying to learn for years and this video has finally done the job!! Thank-you!! It’s clear, in focus, good contrast of colour and your instruction is the perfect amount of detail.❤
thank you for your help! i knew how to crochet but after the second row, it got all bunched up and i didn't know why, thanks to your video, i was able to understand my mistake! The other tutorials on TH-cam are super bland and short but you will tell exactly why this vs. that needs to happen. I am going to make a coaster and them embroider it!
Thank you for this!! You’re such a cute lady, and so helpful!!
My yarn...
its too fluffy dammit-
estonian_dsl if it’s so fluffy or so big search for a finger crochet tutorial that would be easier for you
Bee
You are an excellent teacher, Kristen. Thank you! 😊
Vicki Ann Thank YOU! ❤️❤️
I’ve been trying to teach myself to crochet for days and no one has been as helpful as you!!!! Thank you ❤
tried a few other youtubers to learn to crochet but got my stitches in a a twist and yours here has sorted me out - thanks!!
I just want to say THANK YOU!!!! I’ve been trying and trying to learn to crochet and with your video I FINALLY got it!!!!!
Yay!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Way to go!
Thank you so much for making this video it has given me so much more confidence since starting to learn crocheting two days ago, definitely subscribing 😁
Thank you so much for this! I’m just starting out and wasn’t sure if my stitches were too loose or too tight. I watched several videos but none explained bringing the loop down so it measures correctly. Makes perfect sense now!
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I need all of your explanation, in order to figure this out. I appreciate how you think about what questions a person may have, as you explain how to do things. I can sense you did this, because of how much details you add in your explanation.
