this is not a hot take!! just look at knitting youtube and people that make one neutral sweater after another neutral tee, and the styles of clothes the biggest designers make (petiteknit, my favourite things, etc), i NEED *younger* knitting content and aesthetics in my algorithm!!

[@natashacrawf]

yes glad it resonated! I think what I was trying to get at was that a lot of knitting patterns are very classic and timeless which is great, but i love seeing more experimental patterns too 🫶

[@alessiagatti590]

Same, I've just subscribed here for the same reason :)

[@v6243_____]

this is the kind of content i've been DYING for!! i totally agree. while i do love the occasional crochet i think knit clothes look soooo much cleaner and more of the vibe i'm going for

[@natashacrawf]

so glad you liked!! i think i am the same as you, although i am biased because i think i prefer the process of knitting a liiiittle bit more than crochet 🤫

[@yankat3724]

@@natashacrawf for clothes i totally agree, i think it just sits on the body better

[@adeleisnamedafterme]

As a new knitter, i also noticed that the knitting community is dominated by older women who have (in my opinion) boring styles, while the crochet community has all the cute tops and sweaters and accessories. This video is exactly what I was looking for!

[@natashacrawf]

I’m glad it helped you! I have to say personally I love the knitting community especially for winter clothes like sweaters, but I agree it can be hard to find patterns for cute lil tops ✨

[@HobbiCROCHET]

Wow! It's hot! You are right about old crocheters, we can crochet but don't have the style you younger ladies have. But we are still young in hearts, please be kind. You all will be there one day 😊

[@natashacrawf]

I definitely don’t mean to discredit makers of any age! a lot of the creators i follow and love are older than me, what i meant to say is that i notice a trend of those older than me making and creating patterns for more timeless classic items and those younger than me tend to be more experimental - and both are stylish imo but just in different ways ☺️

[@leevldzjay]

For those wondering the crochet segment starts at 8:57 timestamp

[@maddyachatz227]

These patterns are so pretty!! I’d love to see you make one of them and if you do, show the progress like you did with cardigan/crochet top!

[@natashacrawf]

yesss that’s a great idea!

[@viannedemirel]

Your voice is so nice to listen to and I love your style and appreciation for both knit and crochet! Keep it up ❤

[@natashacrawf]

ah thank you that’s a lovely compliment!🥰

[@caterinapicco7316]

Honestly i've been looking for this kind of content for a while, when i saw you were a younger creator i immediately subscribed 💕

[@alyssa48224]

these are such cute patterns!! i struggle to find mostly knit ones that i would wear heaps but i wanna make so many of these

[@natashacrawf]

yeah they are kinda few and far between! glad you found this helpful 🫶

[@Wildflower1013]

Love this collection! I want to start making more clothes, but a lot of the patterns I find are for backless crop tops and while I think they look SO cute, it's not something I'm looking to wear myself so it was nice seeing a good variety of kinds of tops that are still stylish. I agree that in general, knitted tops look better than crocheted tops, though both can be gorgeous. As of right now, I'm only a crocheter, but I might have to expand to knitting too if I want to make some these tops!!

[@stitchedbyleeloo]

loving all the pattern recs ♡ !! i think youd also appreciate: - wisteria vest by crochettreat bc it gives a cool look with a bralette underneath - cosmo top by unlucky knits also has a cool cutout detail in the neck area

[@natashacrawf]

oooh amazing i’m gonna go check them out now! thank you 🫶

[@ameliakamellia]

Such cool patterns! Im definately a neutral millenial but when you spend a third of your day in an office(doing a job I love) it’s hard to keep doing crop tops and crop-out tops that I could never wear in my proffesional setting but I do love looking at them so I will keep watching. Im so happy that the crochet vs knitting and colorful vs neutral war has died down a bit. We are all crafters together, the one and the same and don’t have to keep comparing to each other.

[@natashacrawf]

omg i didnt even know there was beef between communities! that’s crazy, i agree with you 100% 🫶

[@ameliakamellia]

@@natashacrawf Yeah I used to watch a colourful knitter that kept making vomitting sounds when mentioning neutrals and minimalism so I chose to stop watching that content. We don’t have to yuck others yum.

[@aratoho]

So happy I came across this video! I do love my classic pieces that I can just throw on without any planning, but I've been looking for some more fun projects as well. I'm still kind of a newbie to knitting but will definitely be making that first crochet piece as soon as I figure out what color I want it to be in

[@fluffypuffs]

thanks for all the recs gal! also btw you're gorgeous💕

[@natashacrawf]

thank you so much 🥹 glad you enjoyed!

[@crustyorange]

love this! i crochet and i have plenty of unfinished blankets but i would love to wear and make cute little baddie clothes

[@Lunarvienna]

Loved thiss !!! 💕

[@otoxeipify]

I love your selection! 😊 I'm not sure this is your style, but here are my favorite knitting designers that make more "fun" patterns: le_pull_le_pull (disaster top for instance) and milenapauliina (ex: Tekla top).

[@natashacrawf]

thank you!!! absolutely love le pull’s stuff especially 💗

[@boysenberry-yogurt]

Girl look up what Lydia made!!! Her work is delightful and soooo well designed fit wise, highly customizable, and Lydia is Glasgow based 🦭. She also just released a super nice “going out” type of top that has an optional keyhole in the front, it was released around the same time as the mixed rib cami to. I’m making mine with the keyhole in both the front and the back ♥️👀.

[@boysenberry-yogurt]

This is my second time leaving this comment ??? I’m not shure why I can’t see my first one anymore. But if anyone else is seeing double … that’s why.

[@natashacrawf]

thanks so much for the recommendation, I’ve just looked her up and can’t believe I didn’t already follow her!

[@coolchameleon21]

omg this is exactly what i’ve been looking for! i love your accent btw

[@natashacrawf]

ah thank you so much!! glad you found it useful 🫡🫡

[@Mosaictheeheart]

The top you have on, you made it ? Omggggosh is gorgeous 😍😍😍

[@natashacrawf]

no but I would love to try to make something similar! both tops are from vinted 💫

[@Kera.S.]

If you like to sew, do you follow this is Kachi? She’s in Germany and makes some amazing designs I think you would love!

[@natashacrawf]

thank you for the rec! i don’t really sew yet but it’s something I want to try 💫

[@cme_epicness]

I’m a crochet girly looking to get into knitting! I’ve got some wood & metal needles but I have no idea where to start. Any tips?

[@natashacrawf]

I started out with the beginner knitting kits from wool and the gang and we are knitters! they’re a bit expensive but the yarn is great and they give you all the materials and instructions you need - if you don’t wanna do that you could do any basic beginner pattern (like a scarf) with a bit of perseverance really. I think already knowing crochet will help you learn v quickly!

[@cme_epicness]

@@natashacrawf thank you for the advice! I’ll have a look and see where it takes me 😊

[@charmayd]

Hey I started knitting 2 years ago! I'll throw my 2cent in, start with a project you want! I wanted to knit socks so I followed a basic tube sock tut on youtube. Also, a great resource to learn how to hold yarn/knit/tension stuff etc would be ARNE & CARLOS - norwegian style knitting is the bomb

[@otoxeipify]

I'll also add: the wood could be best to start because the stitches will "grip" to your needle more (fewer risks of them slipping). And you could begin with a small project, I started with beanies/hats, looking for patterns with only knit and purl stitches.
