WOW, seven years later, and this is the only one that so clearly and succinctly demonstrated color change. Now subscribed. Merry Christmas, and wish you excellent health and success in 2025.
I have problems learning new things sometimes, but I think it’s mostly getting into my own head before learning a new skill/step because it’s never as hard as I make it in my head. So I’m learning very slowly and basically perfecting everything before moving on. Your videos are great! I learned the slipknot (which my little sister actually said I do better than her already and she’s done some SERIOUS projects!), the chain, the US double/UK single (did I get that backwards?), and just now the color change. I started, after ruining a few small pieces, a small scarf for my twin granddaughters. So it’s nice and simple and repetitive, which I like, only 20 stitches across, and I had to add a color because the starter kit I got had small balls and I ran out of the first one. Oh, and turning, of course. It may take me a while to get through a lot of your videos but I’m using only your channel so far to learn! Thank you! I’m home by myself a lot so this is a great skill to learn and have something else to keep myself busy, other than my legos and my sewing! I decided since everyone kept telling me how great I am at sewing maybe I should try to learn crochet! Hopefully I get good at it too! I don’t have a sewing machine and do everything by hand. Recently I made my granddaughters a teddy bear made completely by hand. Also, hand drew a pattern by myself and looking at a bunch and not finding one the size I wanted. That was the first thing I had ever made! They loved it!
I'm just beginning to crochet again after many years, so I have been looking at various videos and posts online for refreshers. I ran across your site while looking at patterns for a couple of projects that I have in mind, and I just love how you show and explain crocheting methods. They're so easy to understand and I am excited to begin and be able to follow along with your instructions. I'm a new subscriber too! Thanks so much.
You are becoming my favorite TH-camr!! I've been crocheting for a long time but wasn't the best at it. I learned from my mother who was left handed but I'm right handed. So I don't hold the yarn exactly right. But you have cleared up a lot of things for me. I love how you explain everything and also show us. Thank you so much!!!
I am left handed and haven't yet found any tutorials for left handed people. I have to reverse everything which is not always easy. However, these videos are so clearly explained and the camera picks up the work very well which helps.
I just LOVE your tutorials!!…I am a pretty good crocheter, but not perfect, and still need help at times, and you are my go-to channel....You explain everything so easily and clear...Thank you so much!!!!……Much love from NY!!!!……
I've learned so much from your videos! I return to them often to refresh a technique. There are many block/motif designs that expect you to follow a chart for color changes. Do you have a video on that? I'm baffled by them.
You're an amazing teacher. I find your method of demonstrating each stitch and techniques the easiest for me to pick up and retain. Thanks to your videos, even though I just picked up a crochet hook two weeks ago, I am already making a sweater and a summer top and they are coming along nicely! Thank you so much for your help!!!💖👏
What a great tutorial! I've watched this and the granny Square tutorial and now I've started a blanket! I've never crocheted before, so thank tou. Greetings from Denmark.
Sarah Jane you are so very lucid in your tutorials that I just love them and would not go elsewhere to learn something new! Thank you so much for your lovely videos. Each is so priceless. I am from India, and doing what I am doing in crochet thanks to you!
Thank you so much for producing clear instructions. I am very new to crochet and learning with a group of ladies at church. Once we do our lessons we are always referred to your videos which reinforce our lessons! Now I am subscribed and moved onto grannie squares.
I've really been enjoying these beginner videos as I start to learn to crochet!! I checked out another channel before you, but your videos are so conscise where I feel confident and understand what I am doing - THANK YOU 😊
Bella, thank you for being just so beautiful and fab at explaining this craft. Have been following you since Christmas 2016 and now I'm making a wee baby blanket for my friend's baby. 🎀
This was super helpful, thank you. I just ran out of my first ball of yarn midway through a row and had no idea what to do. This really helped me to learn how to add my new yarn ball into my work. ❤️❤️❤️
This was video was so helpful! I'm 10 years old, and a beginner. I'm making a scarf for myself using different colors, and this method you showed was really helpful! Thank you!
I struggled for so long with this step, now you made it so clear on how to change color. Thank you for creating these videos they are so helpful. It means so much to know how to do it properly👍👍🙏🙏. Greetings from the great State of California, USA
Thank you for the super clear explanation. I've been learning basic crocheting from you and wanted to try adding a bit of detailed patterns. This is so useful. Thank you!
I’m a new subscriber and love the way you teach. So so easy to follow . You go at a pace I can follow and you are also my go to to learn to crochet. Thank you.
I am following you since quite some tm now... Hv also completed few projects uploaded by you...I'm not very good at it I'm kind of beginner and the way u explain makes the project much easier for me... Thanks a lot ...Love frm India
Thanks for explaining this because I didn’t know how to do this. I am still learning crochet even though I crocheted in high school, but it was just to connect knitted and crocheted squares together to make throw blankets for the seniors in my youth group. I’ve been trying to get better at crochet since then.
Thank you for all of your amazing tutorials for beginners ❤️ I on some point have a different size of hook and different thread :( whenever I follow all the instructions I always end up finish a small pattern than what you have 😂😋 I just have a little trouble finding the right thread and hook maybe because here in the Philippines I guess has a very limited threads and hook sizes 😭 If I can find the right hook I end up getting no thread to work on with the hook or vice versa....
I think 6 people hit the wrong button... that's the only way to explain how someone couldn't like this. Another great, simple and easy to follow tutorial!
This is a great tutorial! Thank you for posting. I learned to crochet before youtube was a thing and I never got very good at changing colors. This was clear and great view! (And now I've dated myself 🤭)
@@bellacococrochet no success yet. I tried to follow what you said and in my head I get it but when I try to get the loose ends in for some reason it does go underneath its just pushed out of the way. but im going to keep trying.
Great tutorial! And I'm glad you included us terms, since the pattern I'm following is in us terms, and it could have been confusing. But now it wasn't, thanks!
You are so good at your tutorials. Your voice is easy to listen to, you dont speak too quickly and you hold your crochet in a way that is easy to see. There is a tutorial called Hugs and Kisses Sunshine blanket. Its a beautiful pattern but is taught by someone who speaks too quickly and doesnt hold the crochet flat. Ive tried twice now to do it but have to rewind over and over and over again... I would love it if you could teach it!
I just finished watching the video and it was great, except I’m still having problems with the loose ends thing… 😅 I been watching this channel everyday and my crochet is slowly getting better and I learn new crochet stuff. For Every Crochet Beginners out there like me, this is the channel recommended by me for crochet!! Thank u so much for the Video btw!!!! ❤
Thank you very much for showing me how to change colors. It was a little challenging for me since I'm using super bulky yarn and working my rows in the back of the stitch only. Just a lot to hold at one time.....LOL. But I finally got the hang of it :-)
Bella... I am wondering if it is at all possible to change pattern once you have started (eg... granny to waffle)... if it is would you be able to do a video on it?... reason I ask is that I'm making a pillow case and want to alternate between 2 different patterns (waffle and puff) and not sure how I would go about changing over... Many thanks
thanks, i was making a blanket but in the middle of the row i ran out of yarn and i knew how to add another color, i just wanted to know how to add a color in the middle of the row. thanks! 😊
I’ve been wanting to learn how to do this but mostly every video I watched was ether just so much extra stuff that wasn’t realated to the topic or just were so hard but yours was clear and right to the point I’m on my way to hobby lobby to get supplies thank you so much your video really helped☺️
Thank you! I have a question of how I would make a circle in another color? Would I cut the color for the circle at the end of each row and then place it back in again when I work my way back or keep the circle color yarn when I change the row? I want to make a scarf that is using white with black specks but has a red dot toward the beginning to the scarf. It represents a Koi breed of fish Tancho Showa.
Thank you for doing both UK and US terms. It makes learning much easier and later makes reading other patterns easier as well.
WOW, seven years later, and this is the only one that so clearly and succinctly demonstrated color change. Now subscribed. Merry Christmas, and wish you excellent health and success in 2025.
Thank you and a Merry Christmas to you too :)
@@bellacococrochet 😀
I was taught to weave the ends in with a needle, but this is so much easier. I can see myself doing more colour change patterns in future.
Glad it helped you :)
I was nervous I wouldn’t get the hang of this but your videos are a life saver I’ve only watched 3 and I’m already making my baby a blanket ❤️❤️
That's brilliant well done, let me know how you get on :)
