HOW TO CROCHET FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS | EPISODE ONE

[@xpotatochipx9195]

Yallllll I did ittttt after at least 50 try’s. The trick is to talk to the yarn nicely and be calm with the yarn… The yarn will sense your frustration and use it to its advantage

[@bellacococrochet]

Well done, just remember that crochet is practice and patience :)

[@maddieschulz3537]

Bahaha I'm researching into crochet, saw this comment and laughed out loud. Very familiar with the concept of speaking to inanimate objects. I work in IT, do it with computers all the time, so speaking to yarn will be easy!

To anyone reading this, it gets easier!!! I practiced tying a slip knot about 30 times. And I tried chaining 10 about 15 times. It does get easier! At first my yarn was too tight and then too loose. Then I couldn't work out how to hold the yarn. I finally got it all working smoothly... only to forget how to yarn over only a few hours later! It's now been a few days and things are becoming familiar. I've done maybe 20 minutes of practice every day and it's working! And I'm enjoying it! It needs patience but so much fun when you make progress! This video is magical, thank you soooooo much!

[@hortiek4604]

Have been crocheting for 30+ years. Great video! She shows beginners how to wrap the yarn around their little and pointer fingers! Notice that her little finger opens and closes a little bit sometimes. The little finger controls the flow of yarn to either; remain the same, slow down, or speed up. If you think you’re crocheting too loosely tighten up your little finger a bit. If you think you’re crocheting too tightly, open your little finger a bit and relax your shoulders. An indentation on your pointy finger means you’re either crocheting too tightly or your yarn is rough/scratchy.

[@katherinehunter9526]

I just found out that I am going to be a Grandma in late April 2021. So I want to start making blankets and clothes for my grandchild. Yeah!. We knitted and crocheted back when I was a girl in grade school. We made items, mainly blankets, some girls in the older grades made socks and sweaters, we sent it off to the War effort in Vietnam. I did make a few items for my children when they were babies, but that was over 45 years ago now. So I needed to brush up on the techniques.

Just to put this out there, because I made a silly mistake and I suppose others might make the same: Make sure you make your slip knot the right way round. I did it the wrong way, which made it tighten when I pulled on the short end and it was nearly impossible to get past that first stitch...

[@saskia9819]

thanks, this was my exact problem as the slip stitch kept shrinking and making it impossible to even get it over the hook!!

[@Roozyj]

@Hannat Balogun I assume you figured it out by now, but you gotta make the loop with the other end of the yarn. I don't know by heart which side, so I keep messing it up but then I can correct myself xD But like, if you make a loop with a short end and a long end (where the rest of the yarn is), you gotta put another loop through it and you can make that loop with either the long side or the short side and one of them is correct xD

[@EliseMarks]

For anyone who is struggling right now I know how you feel I was really having a hard time last week but I didn’t give up and now I’m doing super good so my message to you is don’t give up and you can do hard things just keep trying you got this 😊

[@bellacococrochet]

Well done for not giving up :)

[@WhiffleWaffles]

I found these videos a few years ago and they helped me and I felt confident, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I had went from an absolute beginner confident at making chains and slipnots to the beginning and struggling. I'll give it my all. Thank you for your calm voice and tutorial. Even if I can only end up making a chain, it's great to fidget with!

[@bellacococrochet]

Please remember that the more you do the easier it will become so don't give up keep trying - good luck :)

Thank you!! I have had a crochet kit scene last Easter 😅 Me and my dad couldn’t get the first stitch so we gave up, and kind of forgot about it But with a video it’s WAY easier. I’m planing on getting new yarn so I can make more things!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome and good luck, remember that crochet is practice and patience :)

[@sandralin3t]

The tutorial was very easy to follow! I spent 3 days trying to do a chain stitch but i did it successfully after watching this video once!

[@bellacococrochet]

Glad it helped, good luck with your crochet journey :)

Congrats! Love the pfp by the way

[@suefarrand2906]

I am so thankful that you were here. I was in desperate need of help because I went to my nanas house and she asked “have you done any crochet since we last saw”. I forgot how to and I felt so embarrassed and my mum just said that I lost the needle…. Tysm I really appreciate it❤❤❤now you have a new subscriber a loyal one too🎉

Thank you for this video. I have 2 daughters and one is what I call my sensory child. I thought this would be fun for all of us but especially enjoyable for her. This is just what we needed to start learning. Very detailed but simple and slow enough for us to see whats going on. Thank you.

[@payal7136]

This playlist taught me how to crochet a year ago, and I remember throwing my hook in frustration because I couldn't figure out the tension. Now I've made multiple crochet projects- a full sized blanket, multiple amigurumi, and just made my first sweater! Surprisingly, learning to crochet also helped me figure out how to knit- I had tried to learn many times, but after crochet, I felt more comfortable with the tension etc ❤ thank you for this!!

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome :)

[@ethelfabulousreddevil5952]

I have never crocheted. I started watching your videos & then actually having a go & I'm obsessed! Just made the poppy & I'm really pleased with myself. Your videos are easy to follow & I can't wait to do more. Thank 💕 you

Oh my goodness this was the fourth "learn to crochet" video that I tried and I was just about ready to give up as it just wasn't working for me but FINALLY IT MAKES SENSE!!!! Seems I just needed to find the right way of holding the yarn that would work for me 😊 Excited to start turning my chain into a square now ❤

I’ve had enough today 😂 it was hard at first but I got the hang of it! I did a few stitches then restarted then did a few more to just practice and it did help! I only just realised that I have a crochet hook that is yours! It says Bella Coco on the side!

[@lrose5522]

Ik this is 8 months later, but your comment is genuinely encouraging to me. I've been having a lot of trouble and seeing all the "it was so easy" comments have really discouraged me. I'll keep practicing and try and get the hang of it too :) This is a very good video
