  • In this video, we are going to discuss different tips that go into making crochet pieces that you will actually wear. A lot besides following a pattern tutorial, and actually making the piece, goes into crocheting high-quality pieces. These are some things I learned from making my own clothes.

    It's so wonderful to see young people crocheting and proudly wearing their creations! I learned to knit and crochet in my childhood. When I was a teenager, I knitted and crocheted my own clothes. Growing up in post-Soviet Ukraine, it was cheaper to buy yarn and make a sweater or top than to buy a finished garment. As a teenager, I mostly knitted because my knitted garments could pass for "store bought" ones, but crocheted ones were so obviously "hand-made". I got bullied and made fun of for my crocheted pieces of clothes. Now, many years later, I absolutely love crocheting and I am proud of the garments I make. But they are definitely very expansive! I choose natural fibers such as cotton, silk, wool, etc and those yarns are not cheap.

      that is a beautiful story, i’m sorry you had to go through that, people are so mean, but they were wrong i’m sure your crochet pieces were beautiful! my nana taught me how to crochet when I was 10 and I haven’t put down the hook since

    These are really helpful tips. Especially the guidance on hooks and type 4 yarn. Some of the tips seem focused on acrylic, which is understandable, as it’s the most common kind. However, some tips on choosing your yarn type (cotton, bamboo, wool, etc.) based on the seasons or the clothing type would be great!

    thank you so much, this is so helpful. i'm a very impatient person so i often take shortcuts with stitching/weaving in ends, so i've never really gotten into crocheting my own clothing. i'm going to give it another try now :)

      you got this! sometimes you can even try to crochet right over them if possible through out the project, but nonetheless it’s impossible to avoid😭 you’ll get used it after a while😊

    Just a little tip on not wanting to sew the ends after finishing a piece. If its for a sweater or top or so, with enough confidence you can definitely leave the ends out and just pretend that its part of the piece, like idk its a designer piece, it’s supposed to be this way, another way to make it look more like it is supposed to be that way is to make it symmetrical, add here or there an extra strand just to make it symmetrical and it’ll look like it really was supposed to be that way, but really the biggest part of being able to pull it off with the strands out (or not) is confidence. If you’re confident enough to just walk around in the piece you made and tell everyone around you with your body language that it looks exactly the way you wanted it, it’s way easier to actually pull it off and people will just take that as this is indeed the way it needs to be, it all just comes down to your confidence basically. Hope this can help someone

    I’m new to crochet so this is so useful. Thanks! It would be great if you could do a video showing different fabrics and how they look on a top or dress (etc) and/or which fabrics are best for example summer or winter and examples of how they look after when the project is done! I’m looking for a video like this and I can’t find it anywhere!

      @friendswithfae หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hi darling! The comment above might be right. As a beginner I had a similar problem of my rows getting longer as I added them. A helpful tip for me was adding a stitch marker into my chain 1 (or 2 or 3 depending on what stitch you are using) then when I turned my work and made my way back to the end I knew where to insert my hook to finish the row and start the next. I hope that helps. I know it can be discouraging to pull out rows of work
