    I started crocheting twenty minutes ago watching another youtube video, and was close to quitting already because I can't control the tension. Luckily I though to look for alternative ways to hold the yarn. Thank you!! I think either the minimalist or your choice will work best for me, even though I'm still having issues with the tension.

    • @crochetunraveled

      Wow! I’m glad this was helpful. I also have a video that explains how to crochet with consistent tension, which might be helpful for you. It also just takes practice to get used to crocheting but it sounds like you will pick it up quickly! Crocheting can feel awkward at first but keep going and I promise it will “click” for you ❤️ let me know if I can help in any way or if there is a specific video you’d like to see! Happy crocheting! 🧶🧶🧶

      I've been learning for about a week now and still have trouble. I'm still experimenting but I think tension is a big learning curve - just like the grip.... I kept switching back and forth between knife and pencil grip. I decided that for me, the pencil grip requires more actual wrist-bending (as opposed to rotation) so I'm pretty consistently using the knife hold now. Like you, I kept getting so frustrated. I just kept chaining and stitching - assuming that eventually it will start clicking. In the meantime, my colorful vocabulary is getting a workout 😜.

      I'm new as well and I'm having trouble with 3 things. Holding the wool,tension and I keep splitting the wool with my hook. What are the best hooks sizes and yarn types to do simple Granny Squares?

    • @crochetunraveled
      @crochetunraveled  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Some hooks are more likely to split the yarn (they have a sharper point) so you may want to try different hooks.
      I would recommend using acrylic yarn to start. It shouldn’t split as easily and it’s cheap compared to natural fibers.
      For granny squares, I would use a medium, worsted weight yarn (4) and a 5mm hook. Hopefully this helps!

    i learned how to crochet 3 years ago but i taught myself a very inefficient way to do it. it takes me almost double the time it takes a normal person to finish any project. ive been trying to fix it for the last couple of weeks and i finally found a way to crochet that works for me! thank you for the video and hopefully i can crochet faster soon

    Thanks so much! I've been crocheting for 5 years, and I'm a teenager, but my hands get cramps in them a lot because of how I use my fingers, and I really didn't want to end up with artheritis before I'm 20. These are way more comfortable for my hands and will definitely make my continuous journey easier❤

    Method 3 has been a game changer for me! I naturally crochet tightly and wasn't aware of other ways to hold my yarn, but this method has opened up new possibilities. Method 4 also offers some great techniques, so I find myself alternating between the two to keep my stitches even. ❣️

Filled with Joy to find you,I’m starting over using your ways to hold yarn in that hand. Full of excitement for projects , my granddaughter learned and is making summer tops at 18 🥰 can’t wait to do crochet together for the first time.! Thank you 🙏 MarionZ

      I know what you mean! I'm 62,,and have a middle finger that is affected on my right hand,called a " trigger" finger.Tge tendon doesn't work right and sometimes I have to get it "unstuck," by opening it manually.It is a simple procedure a doctor does to release the tendon with a small incision in the palm at the base of that finger.I just haven't done it yet But I'm glad it doesn't interfere with my crocheting!

    I’ve been crocheting over 20 years and I always used your 3rd method but I would hold the tail with my other fingers and they would cramp for a while. I’ve been trying to figure out a new way to hold comfortably and opt 2 is really comfortable so far. Thanks!

    Cool video. I was taught how to crochet from someone who learned how to crochet from a book back in the 1980's. Over the years I changed many things about how I crochet, but I still rap my yarn around my index finger. It give me the best tension and control when I crochet.

  • @Robin-qc4gn

    I learned to crochet when I was 3 from my great grandmother, MeMe, who used to babysit me a lot. I was pretty good at it and kept it up until I was 10 or so, then got distracted with other crafts and never picked it up again. Now I’m reteaching myself at 42! I was struggling with just holding and basic chains until I found this video. I like the first method, but yours works the best for me! Thank you for sharing! 💜

    I taught myself to crochet as a teen and in the 70's I had only library books to guide me.Now after 40+ years of crocheting I was just curious to try different ways to hold the yarn,since I have developed over the a totally different way that seemed to come naturally for me in a personal way .I find it helps with my annoyance with the "tension" issue,and it may be useful to someone reading this...my "method " is to thread the yarn over the ring finger,then under the pointer finger,then around and over the thumb,followed by going back under the pointer finger then over it to crochet.I sometimes wind a too long length of forward yarn around the pointer finger a few times to tighten for the hook area that you work at.The reason I like it so much is that I can extend my thumb to pull forth more yarn as needed.Its unusual I know, but it works for me! I have an issue with the lack of being able to control the slackness in yarn and this "way" the thumb pulls the yarn like a tension on a sewing machine and as I tend to crochet too tightly it helps with uniformity for my own projects .I also hold my hook underneath as you would a pencil.But your video is great for trying out ways that may be easier for beginners to do and you did great! I was curious to see if anybody else does it the way I do,but you just meet to get comfortable with whatever works for the individual crocheter personally..I'm a new sub!

    • @crochetunraveled

  • @breebree6220
    @breebree6220 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thanks for this! I am a beginner. I don't know if it's because I'm using cheap Walmart yarn, or because I have a plastic hook (or both), but I seem to be crocheting super tight. The simple finger is definitely helping with that, but man...the hand cramps!

    Thank you for such a wonderful visual tutorial on how to hold yarn.
    It may sound silly, but placing my hand on the table like you did helped 100% vs trying to wrap the yarn with my hand in the air.
    For me, I am just not as coordinated (yet lol) with my nondominant left hand.
    My grandmother did a lot of crochet and tatting. I remember she always had a squeeze ball or the hand exerciser grippers in her left hand when she'd take a break. It makes sense to build up strength😊
    Thanks again!! ❤

  • @janicesmith1956

    If you hold item with first finger and thumb the yarn round little finger under ring finger and over middle finger the tension of yarn is perfect. Hold the hook like a pen much better and no rsi of fingers. Paton method is much easier on wrists.

    I’ve been crocheting for three years, and I’ve always held my yard in a weird way, but it cramps up my hand after a short period of time, so I’m trying to re-teach myself and an issue I keep running into with the tension, is that the yarn keeps sticking to my hand, so when i need to pull more yarn, it won’t go, it’s like it’s stuck to my fingers and it’s so hard, i can’t figure this out !!

    I am having trouble with either it's too tight or its too loose and I just started 2 days ago. My mother and sister could crochet but I couldn't learn from them. I am taking a class at the library where I work. It has its advantages! It was suggested by my crochet teacher to find and check out how to hold the yarn comfortably. My fingers cramp up because I am holding to tightly and if I loosen my fingers, I loose what rhythm I had. The other problem I have is I somehow hook half the yarn loop and make loosened holes in the yarn making it frayed. Any help or advice you can give would be appreciated.

    • @crochetunraveled
      @crochetunraveled  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well, first of all, it’s amazing that you only started 2 days ago! A lot of this is just going to take some practice, but it sounds like you are off to a good start considering the fact that you can pinpoint exactly what you are having trouble with! What might help is first of all, get some acrylic yarn. I’m not sure what you’re using now, but I feel like acrylic yarn is harder to split than some other types. The type of hook might help, too. Some have a more rounded head that will be less likely to poke through the yarn and split it. Also, acrylic yarn is cheap, so if you mess up no worries! I would try out a few different ways of holding the yarn and then just figure out what feels most natural to you. Then I would suggest you just pick one type of easy stitch to do (probably dc or hdc) and then, using your cheap yarn, make a big rectangle that has no purpose other than being something you use for practice. Practice making your rectangle while listening to a podcast or watching a tv show in the background. This will help you not think so much about what you are doing and I think you’ll naturally find a flow where you’re not gripping the yarn so tightly and your tension will become more consistent. Don’t put pressure on yourself 😊 it’s a new skill and it’s supposed to be fun andenjoyable! You got this! ❤️❤️

    Im having trouble with the tension and holding the yarn because the yarn slides down my pointy finger when I try to crochet, do you have any tips on how to fix this? Thank you for this video because it explains very clearly how to hold your yarn in different ways, Im just having trouble actually doing it. Have a nice day!

  • @mygoldfishrocks
    @mygoldfishrocks 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I can't hold it any of those ways 😶.
    I've tried, but the only way I can crochet is by holding my work between my middle and ring fingers, and feeding the thread through in-between my index finger and thumb. I cannot keep my index finger extended while holding the thread on top.. It may be because I cut hair years ago (still do occasionally) and control the hair cutting scissors, or just because I like for all my fingers to work, except for my lazy pinky.😁

    I’ve been trying to improve my technique lately because I’m self taught and I naturally fell into having the yarn on my right side and wrapping it around the hook with my right hand while holding my work in my left. Is this a known technique or is it just me making things up? I will be trying out these methods as well. Thanks!
