5 EASY CROCHET STITCHES THAT ANY BEGINNER CAN DO! [Linen, Alpine, Shell, Granny, and Wave Stitch]

[@Nghubjn]

Yes I'm on day 13 learning this craft.. my world had opened up.. I want to make everything. Been wanting to learn this for a long time..

[@tiffanyblakley1397]

I literally just ran across your KZbin by accident. It's funny that you say I must be a new crocheter. Truth be told, I have been yarning since I was 5 years old - we won't talk about how many years that is😊. But I wanted to reach out to say that you showed me things I didn't know! We -newbies and vets- can all learn new things and share with each other. I love going back to basics and creating what looks complicated when in fact it's a beginner stitch. I love crocheting. Probably because my grandmother taught me, and she's passed. When I crochet, I feel closer to her. Anyway, didn't mean to write a novel...lol ... I just wanted you to know that your sharing of your craft benefits us ALL! So glad I found you. I'm "HOOKED"!😊

[@caronmccabe6407]

I have been crocheting on and off for 5 years now. I only found your tutorials today after searching for some ideas. If only I found you earlier. You are by far the very best I've ever seen. You are an absolute super star. Sending you much love and appreciation from 🇦🇺. Thank you ......

[@julietwilson6646]

Me too

[@marigeobrien]

I think she's awesome. She has a knack for explaining things simply and clearly and she does some stitches differently than others (like the alpine stitch) and her way is much better!

[@iboj.2403]

Beautiful stitches. Great tutorial! Thank you ❤

[@beckyreynolds5660]

I love your detail & how slow you talk & show how to do it. I'm an avid crocheter, I love to watch you. Been crocheting since I was 5. Thanks all the way from Idaho.

[@corinnepompey5218]

It’s so refreshing seeing a black crocheter that I can look up to and follow tutorials from!! Thanks for your thorough tutorials!

[@Ydyd-w9l]

Why do you care if she is white or black? It doesn't matter does it?

[@outlyy9406]

​@@Ydyd-w9l Das what I wanna know too

[@akosua8779]

​@@Ydyd-w9las a black lady I second your statement

[@irinairis191]

​@@Ydyd-w9l It does to this person, no need to get offended. Representation matters, and she is glad to have found it. Be happy that another person has found what they are looking for and move on.

[@Ydyd-w9l]

@irinairis191 I never said I was offended, I just said it doesnt matter whether someone is black or white

[@liveandletlye]

I just started crocheting literally yesterday lol I’ve been a knitter for years so these are super helpful. My only feedback is, you’re a fast talker just like me 😂. Since this video is targeted for beginners, I would suggest that you slow down a tad while explaining how you’re working your stitches and slowing down the visual of you working your double and single stitches. Since, some of us just started, we might have trouble deciphering the stitches. Other than that, I really LOVE your channel and these stitches! ♥️♥️♥️

[@nene00760075]

I had been taught that the Alpine stitch is done with front post double-crochets. While I loved the look, I always struggled keeping the stitches even. Making it a treble-crochet solves that. I'm so happy to learn this.

[@rosemarieconner9493]

Alpine can make a beautiful warm cardigan . Love that stitch.

[@sarahkrick8667]

You absolutely win the award got best teacher! Here's why: I can see everything you're doing, you explain very clearly and calmly, you're encouraging, your voice is lovely to listen to, your hands are beautiful too! Thank you so much!!!

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

Nope I'm just here because I love you. Lol. I have covid and I need relaxing soothing calming content. Thank you. 💕💕

[@Karedavi]

When I retired I began learning to crochet prayer shawls and blankets for friends/family and for my church. Your videos are the best! Your calm demeanor and voice helped me to learn the information without getting confused or frustrated. Thank your for imparting your talent and expertise.

[@abigailyohman]

I'm a veteran amigurumi maker but not much of a cloth/ clothing/ blanket stitcher! I love these stitches and can't wait to try these put

[@abby776225]

I could watch you crochet all day! I’m new at crocheting and I am so glad I found your videos because they are so informative and easy to follow. Thank you for crocheting with us!

[@vonniegarman2962]

I am fairly new at crochet, I knew the basic stitches from an aunt when I was a child . I have wanted to learn the wave stitch for so long the way you explained it made it so easy for me. Thank you for teaching an old dog new tricks.

[@sv2253]

The way you describe the shell stitch it way more concise than any other tutorial I've come across! I always come back to it when I forget how to do the stitch! Thank you!

[@ChanelAthena]

I was literally just thinking that I wanted to learn to do more stitches (I just started so I know like...2) and you show up like the hero you are lol. Thanks Toni!!!

[@dettlinnane8387]

I've been crocheting for 40yrs, but only knew the basic... Thanks to KZbin, I have discovered so much more but I have to say, the way you describe each stitch is so easy to follow... In the afghan singlet that I'm doing now, I decided to do a single crochet to start and to finish each row, and it looks so much neater and squarer

[@Miqella]

Thank you Toni. You have helped me create so many wonderful and useful items. Here's to the very best crochet teacher ever.

[@MandyFocus]

❤❤❤❤ I was finally able to figure out the magic loop AND how to stitch squares together all bcuz of your videos!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@TangledYarnPrincess]

Thanks to you I am nailing crochet! I can't wait to try these! Right now I'm making a blanket from the rice stitch. Maybe my next blanket will be with one of these!

[@misslillie2940]

I totally agree with Joey. Your tutorials are completely and totally easy to follow for the beginner.

[@cynthiachism2115]

You are an awesome teacher! Lovely person! I'm back crocheting again!🥰🥰🥰

[@annmariearmstrong6149]

Ilove that you had more than one stitch in your tutorial. Thanks!!!

[@vanessaboman8143]

My grand daughter asked to learn crochet, so we got supplies and I am learning to teach lol! We are excited to learn new skills! I used to do some basic crochet many years ago, and it's fun learning with my 13 year old brand daughter. Your channel is very helpful!

[@savannahcruthers1783]

By far the best demonstration I’ve found yet

[@nmscmt22]

The Alpine stitch has been one of my favorites for a while now. I've made two large blankets and I always get amazing comments from people who see them. The downside is the amount of yarn used but I do think the look is worth it. Can't wait to try these other stitches too! Thank you!

[@ArDeeMee]

Do you think it would be good for a vest or sweater?

[@alisongeorge3089]

I'm so excited to practice these once I get home

[@MarthaMwai]

Today I was scrolling through the internet to find out more on hobbies...since I like crocheting i usually don't go too far because I get bored easily...so I decided to look for new ideas in KZbin to help get ideas and guess what...your channel was first to pop up ...am so thankful for your tutorials now crocheting is more interesting 🎉 thanks

[@worm628]

this is one of the clearest tutorials I have ever seen. Lighting, camera angle, and narration are all excellent. Subbed!

[@MerierCarePhD]

I can't tell you how grateful I am for this post. I've had a rough go at learning crochet thanks to ADHD, and I was getting so frustrated that I almost considered putting my craft bag away. Thankfully I came here and followed along to learn three new stitches that renewed my interest in crochet. You're a wonderful instructor and I will definitely be looking through your other posts for inspo. ❤️

[@cmacspaperbacks]

These are AWESOME - I love your voice, clear instructions, not too slow.. not too fast ... goodness you are good at what you do!

[@crochet937]

Crochet and coffee, yes!!!

[@sy2.083]

Toni, I love your videos and I am so glad I happened upon your channel! I have been crocheting since I was 12 (retired now) and I’m very good; but Toni, You r the Queen of crochet-I SALUTE YOU, MY SISTER! A request please-when u are giving hook sizes, would you please give them in their US letter or number size as well! Whenever u give a hook size in mm, I have to Google the US size or rummage through my hooks stash and hunt for the relevant hook! For contemporary crocheters it’s probably second nature for them to convert so u may feel that giving both sizes is unnecessary but if u could, I would greatly appreciate it! Also, Toni, I want to thank you for contemporizing my crochet life and the life of another retiree to whom I introduced ur channel!! Ty!

[@rhondaholloway2121]

Thanks for sharing. I've been looking for ideas for blankets for my grand kids.

[@queenofcookie3299]

I love this tutorial and your voice is so nice and comforting and while i was panicking a little with all the illegal stitches (what i call stitches that don’t go into the top of another stich) i did figure it out eventually and while it did feel like i was breaking all the rules i had just learned the results were beautiful so hey time for new rules i guess. Im only at stitch 3 since im doing these one at a time and then taking a break cause i really want to understand each one so i can alter and use them confidently in the future and im learning so much and you are explaining it so well thank you for this tutorial it is fantastic

[@sarahb3143]

I’m a crochet newbie doing Crochet Academy. So far my favorite stitches are Shell and Granny Stripe. I can’t wait to learn how to make granny squares!

[@BelindaEdwards-l3n]

😂 happy happy happy. Seeing you three in the air, enjoying your selves and whizzing about In the copter, What a magic time you had we. Thanks all

[@I_am_Onyinye]

I'm super glad I found your page. I'm a beginner looking to start crocheting. It's something I've always loved doing since I was a teenager. God help me through the journey that I want to embark on.

[@mariafortunato8015]

I really enjoy the concise and easy way you teach this tutorial. It's not too slow for those who have been crocheting basic stitches for a while but not too fast for the absolute beginner. Thank you for making this video.😃

[@wendy2blu]

Thank you! Your tutorials are so clear. I'm making10" squares of varying stitches for a blanket for my 12 yo grandson. I'm so glad I found you!

[@OneTrueWord1988]

You are the best! I'm in the "getting back into crochet after a long hiatus" category, and loving your tutorials. God bless you! ♥️💐♥️

[@mihihiha8100]

Amazing! Showing every step soo clearly, explaining every Stich, explaining the pattern and what it does.. I just startet crocheting and this Video was the most helpful, by far

[@amethystanne4586]

I have done the shell and granny stitches. Never heard or seen the others. I learned the Star stitch when I was a teenager in the late 1960’s. It has been a favorite of mine since then.

[@kitty-kat007]

I love the way you explain how to do the crochet stitches, it's very easy to follow. Thank you for the video love it.🥰🥰

[@joyousjoy4ever]

I used to crochet when I was a young teen and now back to crocheting again! You’re a wonderful teacher from what I’ve seen so far! Thank you! ☺️😁

The wave stitch really is much easier than it looks. Thank you for such incredible tutorials, you're amazing!!

[@laurierussell1874]

I love this linen stich so easy. I will definitely try it.

[@dancewithursulapebane]

I'm new at this and this video made me feel like I've been doing it for ages. Thank you so much for these 😊

[@nocomment2468]

I haven’t crocheted in years! I never got very far before anyway, and I’ve been looking for some new projects. I definitely want to try something with the shells stitch or wave stitch. They look so pretty and I bet would make good holiday gifts. Thanks so much for the very clear tutorial!

[@sosrsbrittany]

OMG thank you!! I just started again after about a decade and was so frustrated with a ripple pattern I was working on. This made it make sense to me and I figured out what I was doing wrong. You're amazing and I'm going to just use one of your patterns instead. Instant follower here. 💜💜💜

[@alefiyajamali6604]

I am in love with the alpine stitch I'm a beginner and have recently started a scarf which uses front and back post triple crochet and i love those stitches, I'll definitely try something with this

[@colleen8192]

Thankyou for sharing your patterns. I particularly like the Alpine stitch, a must to try.

[@grimmgoosegoose216]

Ah!!! I did not realize these stiches were so simple!!! Thank you so much for clearly breaking these down! I love your tutorials

[@courtneylaurengalind]

Currently I'm only able to singe and double crochet... this gives me hope! I'm excited to try to Alpine, Shell, and Wave stitches.

[@fandom11thdoctorbowtiesfez62]

You've made learning to crochet so easy!! I always refer back to you if I have missed something. Thank you so much!!!

[@29kimmers]

😘 You are such a good teacher. Thanks for all the guidance.

[@lailiakadaisy]

[@jomama5186]

[@Rhyn_Jedjed]

Thank you I've been crocheting for a month and this helped me with more cool stitches

[@GramTRN]

I have learned so much from your video! I especially needed the instructions for the beginning and end of the rows. I can now have straight edges!! Thank you.

[@elainepatterson81]

Thank you Toni, so glad l came across your channel this year! Well l don’t know which one to try first 🤔 l recently started to make a. granny square blanket after watching your tutorial, however l might have to put it to one side and make a blanket using one of these stitches!! 😊

[@sammie1722]

👁️👄👁️ my face when I saw how simple yet beautiful the alpine stitch is. Once I finish my current WIP. I'm making something with the alpine stitch 😍 your tutorials are always so helpful!!

[@mommycate]

You are such a wonderful teacher. Thank you for your clear and thorough tutorials! My new favorite ❤

[@terrib.9005]

Thank you so MUCH!!!! The linen stitch was driving me crazy. You’re wonderful.

[@marysusansaballa5317]

Thanks for this tutorial.

[@finally97]

Thank you for explaining them all. The granny stitch i learned was wonky. Now i know why. I was taught by another youtuber to add a single crochet between each set of 3 double crochet. Thank you. Oh yeah. Thank you for explaining how to calculate the number of chains needed for a project.

[@picnicphoto]

Just finished a baby blanket with softly colored (2 colors) stripes and a border in linen stitch (though i called it granite stitch-color used in this stitch can add a lot of variety and patterning) because tho' I love Tunisian and thought about the gridded block design, I just didn't like the wrong side for a baby blanket. I'm a returning crocheter after starting as a spinner/knitter/crocheter and then years as a professional dyer/weaver and have found a lot of inspiration here to get back into it. Thanks--

[@ellie-mt4rf]

I've tried to learn the alpine stitch before and never quite gotten it, but thanks to your clear explanation, I finally did! :D

[@amyedwards8571]

Beautiful! I know I can learn those Stitches! Thanks

[@beccacoleman498]

I love that alpine stitch. So nice.
