    tip: if you're planning on making amigurumi/plushies, pick up a crochet hook that is 1-2 mm smaller than the recommended side for the yarn. this helps to keep your stitches small and tight so that there are less large holes in the project for the stuffing to show through. do keep in mind that going 2mm below recommended size can sometimes make it much more fiddly to work with, so as a beginner a 1mm decrease in hook size is probably more ideal :)

    Great video! I started in November and my preferences so far:
    -I hate plastic needles, steel is better
    -Amore Crochet hooks are the best ergonomics; flex those JoAnn coupons and it’s less expensive
    -Stitch markers are a life saver
    -DO NOT start with dark colored yarns even though they are your aesthetic, choose neutrals if you’re allergic to bright colors
    -be patient and do one project at the time
    -do something you’re excited about (I went crazy and did a patchwork cardigan)
    -master the basic stitches first
    -experiment with texture, cotton has a learning curve but it’s achievable
    I’ve always wanted to learn, so I’m self taught; pretty jelly of those who had grandparents teaching you, cherish them!

    FOR BEGINNERS. I’ve never bought stitch markers in my life. They are incredibly useful and a MUST for when your crochet but I use Bobby pins instead and they work just fine, so if you don’t wanna spend too much money, Bobby pins are for you

      ​@@Karina-jm2oeI've done this in a pinch too. Actually I prefer using pieces of wool as stitch holders. I find I loose my stitches often with the plastic/metal stitch holders, so I take some waste wool and thread it through my stitches and then tie both ends together. ❤

    My tips for beginning resources:
    - Yes, medium to bulkier yarn is great especially for learning so that the stitches are visible and easy to maneuver.
    - Preferably i'd suggest a "chainette construction" yarn, which has its "threads" interwoven instead of twisted together so that its not likely to splice while you work with it, causing frustrations.
    - Yarn light in color is really nice for visibility of said stitches.
    - Avoid plushy, fuzzy or velvet-y yarn, theyre known to have the fuzz rip off of the thread its on, making it harder to weave in ends, and quite slippery to work with.
    - And lastly i'd suggest a plastic hook since atleast for me personally it was a smoother experience to learn with than metal, for its lack of grip on certain yarns.

      My pro-tip is that the anti-pilling yarns are super easy to work with for beginners because something about the way they’re made makes it so you don’t get little bits and bobs in the way that make it harder to see, and it’s almost impossible to split stitches.
      Also, start with a crochet hook with a rounded tip. Personally, I prefer an inline hook with a point for regular use, but for beginners the hooks with rounded ends are so much easier for picking up stitches and not splitting them :)

    I picked up crochet as a covid hobby and I FELL IN LOVE! It was a way to feel grounded in a time when the world felt like it was going to end. I had a lot of personal stuff happening in my life as well and this was a way to let the thoughts in my head speak and then let them go. I lost my aunt suddenly in November of 2019 and she loved crocheting doilies so this was a way to feel closer to her. I thought doilies would be my first project but I think it was actually a scrap yarn basket or a crappy black scarf with acrylic yarn. Then I moved on to the Harry Styles-inspired sweater which I have never finished. Now I am making three temperature blankets which you inspired me to do and I am learning how to make money selling my craft. I am currently working on a sunflower granny square tote bag and a mushroom tote bag. I love this community and the endless possibilities. If you all need a grounding hobby or something to give your hands something to do I highly recommend this instead of knitting since crocheting is much easier to pick up.

    1. I love how passionate and smiley you are! I've recently gotten into crochet and watched this to make sure I was easing into it as well as I could, and your good mood really hit home; crochet really is such a calming, rewarding craft.
    2. My mind BOGGLES at how huge your (I'm guessing USA) yarn shops! There's so much variety it's crazy!
    3. In terms of my favourite yarn, I'd say size 4. I got a kit of many small bundles of yarn with all of the basic colours and some variations, because I mainly started with amigurumi, and they are all size 4. On top of that, the vast majority of the yarn I had bought for knitting was also size 4, and so that's the standard size that I use, which is nice because I think it's the one I find most often in shops.
    All in all, this video was really cute, informative, and nice to watch. I decided to watch this while crocheting my second fingerless lace glove, and it made me smile throughout :)

    i’m learning from scratch and personally i’ve found chunky large yarns to be really fun to use! probably not for everyone, but i love the colorplay and dreamspun colors by yarnbee

    SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL! I just started crocheting literally last night and I've been using this Amazon yarn (WHICH IS TERRIBLE I MAY ADD). I was watching your video on how to single crochet which brought me here and now i understand that the texture of this Amazon yarn is exactly why I couldn't get a continous flow with the single crochet. Thank you for sharing these tips and recommendations!

    Excellent video. Makes me wish I had TH-cam back when I was ten and grandma was teaching me to crochet. But since there was no internet or even home computers back in the dark ages, it’s nothing but a wish. Your happy demeanor and encouraging style is infectious (in a good way, not in a Covid way!)

    I'm so exitecied. My first experience was making a hat with a hoop, but that was years ago, and recently, I have gotten into crocheting. I made an octopus with a hat, 5 bunnies, a jar bag, a panda, and most recently, a homemade doll. I'm still learning, but your videos are a big help.

    As a relatively new person crocheting bulky fluffy yarn is my FAVORITE! Yeah it's a little tricky to see your stitches but it's super easy to hook on to unlike thinner yarn. Thick yarn ftw💖 ALSO I recommend using a hook size that's smaller than the recommended size 💀 if it says to use a 5.0 mm hook I usually use a 4.0 just because I find it easier to use that way. Anyways hope that my goofy tips help I've only been crocheting for about a year 😅

    I actually found blanket yarn super comforting to work with. I once made a fox for a baby and I didn't enjoy doing it because it wasn't the yarn I was comfortable using but I ran out of time to find orange blanket yarn. I would say yo try different yarn types and find out which one is the most comfortable for you! ❤ have fun beginner crocheters!

    I started crocheting with Jumbo yarn but it was with my fingers. I probably would've given up if I had to use the hook size. When I started making more projects I moved down to level 4 medium yarn with a 5mm hook and I loved it. Definitely wish I saw this video before starting to crochet :)

    My grandma tried to teach me when I was younger, but I couldn't figure out the tension so I gave up. My other grandma taught me to knit at the time but I gradually stopped knitting and she then gave me a book on crocheting! I made a beanie as my first project, then arm warmers and most recently a market bag! Currently I'm working on a Granny Hexagon Cardigan (I've only been crocheting for maybe a month at most and I'm so happy with how far I've come already! :)

    @catmuch4569 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I have a really hard time understanding where to put my hook through for double crochet etc. I noticed that chunky yarn makes it a little easier for me, I'm a complete beginner so counting stitches and such is still very difficult but I finally managed to crochet a tiny little heart yesterday so I'm really happy with myself!

    I am in my early 30s and it took me 3 different stages in life to be reintroduced to crochet and really finally GET it. it takes time and patience. If you get stumped by something and want to give up, set it aside, find a small joyful quick project to substitute for the time being. last year i got back into crochet by making holiday ornaments. I LOVE this other youtubers patterns for their mini beanie, mitten, and stocking ornaments. I had made their full size beanie pattern, and came across the mini ornament version.
    It took me my grandma, my (left-handed) best friend, and countless youtube videos and free patterns to get here, so here I am, 32 years old, now designing/writing my own patterns!

    I tried learning to crochet a couple of years ago on medium yarn and I hated it, I didn't understand what I was doing and I gave up. My sister-in-law started crocheting again 2 weeks ago and I decided I wanted to get into it too. I found a beautiful chunky rainbow yarn and I made my 1st crochet project. It's a terribly made, completely single-crochet bag I winged and didn't use a pattern for but I am still super proud of it. I am now working on my 2nd project, a hat. It has a pattern and I learned how to half-double-crochet. Im so excited

    more then a week ago i finished my very first jumper, no pattern to follow, just all from what would make sense to me. and surprisingly it turned out great. it's a gift for my boyfriend who visited me last weekend and was able to give it to him. he was fitting it here and it fits him nicely. yes i made it without pattern which i should've done, so loads of places where it was kinda off. but he was able to put it on and officially worn it yesterday and he really likes it luckily. it was made from medium yarn in black and red with a 5mm hook
