    I love how you break down the instructions and you don’t assume that people know any of the terms. Your camera angle is perfect because the shot is clear and nice and close. The other thing you do great is that you stopped and, with the needle showed where to put the hook. You understand that for beginners all of the holes look the same. To further reach all of your learners you have notes typed on the video. It’s clear how much effort you put into your tutorials. Just an observation from a teacher…and a student of crochet. Thank you!

      One very small granny square was the beginning of what started to be a college dorm bed when my daughter was in school.
      When it was meant to to be finished for her graduation, I kept on with it and it turned into a wedding gift for when she got married, after school.
      At that time it had become a king size blanket.
      I made a second one, same size for one of my sons ..
      Very satisfying.
      While working on them, the blankets went with me to many Dr appointments for myself....crochet pouch and all 👍👍👍

    Hi! I learned knitting first, as a kid, and since my mid 20's I've been trying to wrap my head around crocheting. Over the years, I'd feel inspired to try to learn it, watch a bunch of TH-cam videos about it, get frustrated, and eventually forget about it for a few years until the mood would strike again, only for me to get confused and stop, and the pattern would repeat. This is the first video in 17 years to be able to teach me how to do it. I ACTUALLY MADE A GRANNY SQUARE. Thank you so much for your thoughtful, clear, friendly instructions and video! You are a wonderful teacher!

    I think this is easy enough for me too. I've learned the single and double stitches, so far. My biggest regret was not spending more time with my grandmother when I was younger. She lived in another state, and we would only be able to visit for a few days and a lot of family was always around, so it was crazy. She did beautiful work. She was very crafty,, which I believe I've inherited, but I've been afraid to start crocheting. Mainly cause every craft starts out little, then before I know it, I have a room full of yarn. But I'm trying to learn. So far, I've managed to make hanging dishtowels. Getting better.

    As an experienced knitter I have struggled with learning crochet. Your tutorial was fabulous! I’m looking at my granny square as I type this! It’s not perfect, but it’s actually not too bad either! Thanks for the great instructions! ♥️🧶

    I just stopped back by to say that I literally had zero idea how to crochet before I found this video. I had a few skeins of yarn and some hooks that I won at a Christmas bingo party and I had always wanted to learn to crochet. I started googling and came across your page. BEST THING EVER! Thank you SO much for doing these videos! You make it so easy to learn, breaking down everything step by step! I’ve made a few dozen of these and they are SO fun to make! I will be back for more of your videos frequently! Keep up the good work, and again, THANK YOU!!!! ❤

    Perfectly explained and the close up images really clarify positioning of stitches and hook placement. Thank you, thank you Erica. I've seen other videos before and have been able to follow but not without backing up more than a few times. Fantastic!!

    Hi Erica. I am so glad I found you. Some years ago I did several granny square blankets and really enjoyed doing them. Time passed (several years) and I decided I wanted to take up crocheting again. Long story short … time, age and memory, I forgot how. I am so glad I found you and with your teaching approach I now believe I can pick up the skill again. Look forward to seeing more of your videos. Again thank you so much.

I also love that after I make my squares I can make the bag with them and have a finished project not just a bunch of squares lying around lol! Thank you again!

    Brilliant. I learnt to crochet 40yrs ago and my granddaughter (far away) aged 13 wanted to learn and asked me to check out some tutorials for her to follow. Yours was the first I clicked on. You are an excellent teacher and very clear in what your describing - problem is you give away too many tips, how am I supposed to look clever to my granddaughter when I talk to her 😅 Seriously well done 💜

    I love this tutorial, thank you so much!! I’ve tried so many others and kept getting confused but this pattern is so easy. I love that it keeps repeating itself so it’s really easy for a beginner. I started off learning how to crochet a beginner flower so this was perfect for a second task - unfortunately I had to go through so many other videos before I found this. Thanks for being so clear and repetitive!!
    Oh and I LOVE that you taught us using the needle to thread in the loose yarns first and then moved on to teach us how to hide it in when you thought we would be able to handle it - SO GOOD. I love love love how thoughtful that was!
    I’m left handed but this video was so clear I had no issue at all.

    • @erica_arndt
      @erica_arndt  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would recommend a 3-4 weight yarn to start off with. Check the back side of your yarn for hook recommendations. If you are stitching too tight and can't get into your stitches (common for beginners) try going up a hook size.
