How to Latch Hook for Beginners

[@RhondaBrockman]

It’s been 50 years since I did this thank you for helping me get started again!!! I couldn’t figure it out but your step by step was awesome!!! Thank you!!

[@diannab2775]

At 54, this was my first time learning how to make a latch hook rug and you made it so easy, even with me being left handed. Thank you!!!!

[@zoesmith1678]

I'm 52 I also bought my first latch hook kit today, it seems quite easy,

[@bekagrrl]

This is what I did before I discovered diamond painting. My mom taught me when I was 7 or 8. I was back & forth with it until 2013 & then went full force until 2018. I have about 100 kits that are finished that I'm giving away or unfortunately throwing away because I just have nowhere to put them. Since 2018 I've just been dedicated to diamond painting. As always I love your nails 💅..Thank you for showing this amazing craft. ❤

[@MrsCoffee1]

Thx you

[@annieheebner1904]

You are doing it rong with the latch hook

[@MrsCoffee1]

Oh yea? Please enlighten me

[@Rainbowglitterbarf]

I love diamond painting! 😭 I also absolutely love how many options for diamond paintings they have on Amazon!

[@janetrafail4900]

​@MrsCoffee1 all you need to put your yarn on the latch hook before you put it through the canvas, it will be so much easier for you!

[@paulamarcum2044]

Ok this video is AMAZING!! It is very thoughtful, thorough and gives me a idea on how to center the darn rug... I could have NEVER figured this out on my own. Can't figure out written crochet patterns to save my life. Thank you! I'll be coming to your channel more! ❤❤

[@eileenbunton6658]

It's been a long time since I have done latch hook. I needed to refresh my memory on how to do this. Thank you for sharing!

[@sgooding8138]

What a brilliant video! Wonderfully clear, calm and detailed instructions, absolutely perfect for a novice latch-hooker like me! I’ve been laid up for a while due to illness and came across a latch hook kit that really caught my eye whilst browsing the internet. Thanks to your excellent tutorial I now feel confident that, even at 58 and never having done it before, I’ll be able to tackle the kit. Many thanks!

[@emmayoungblood5131]

32 minute video that didn't drive me nuts. I have no idea how you did it, but you did!

[@MrsCoffee1]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@2witterbug]

Excellent! Thank you. I can do anything with yarn or string. I learned crocheting from my great grandmother when I was 7. It has been many years since latching, and I’m creating my own pattern so I wanted a refresher. Thank you!

[@samjones9465]

Thank you for your tutorial, I'd totally forgotten I could do this lol. Taught by my mum, sock knitting by my nanny, painting by my great grandfather, cooking by my dad and mgardening with my grandad Bob, baking and general thrifty cooking by my nanny, curries by my dad, cake decorating by my mum - living a full life by all of them. I have just found my knitting looms and have no idea how to use them - if you could do a tutorial I would really appreciate it - your teaching style is so relaxed, must get a cuppa next time thank you from England UK

[@lucylim1037]

Just started today and your tutorial made it so easy for me to understand. Thanks a bunch!

[@virginiacorley7256]

I learned something today. I had never heard of crochet braids. They are a lovely way to braid.

[@debbiescrafttime8161]

I have done a lot of crafts since I was 8 years old my grandma did crafts for a living she started me with cross-stitch with plastic canvas different shapes and sizes. One year for Christmas she got me a latch hook of a stocking with Santa loved doing all crafts. Miss you when I craft.

[@trishhoff6869]

This is so cool. My mom and I used to do latch hooking when we lived in Germany. My mother showed me how to not only do the latch hooking kits but also how to design our own wall hangings and rugs. They were a bunch of AIDS that we had to help with doing the latch hooking. One of the AIDS was a plastic sea bar clamp type thing that would hook onto our table and it would hold the latch hooking Kansas in place so that it wasn't moving around on you. My mom's biggest piece was a huge oriental rug that she did. We also when we were designing our own rugs there was a yarn cutter that I believe bernat had at one point that we used to cut our own yarn with in order to make the rugs. I still have most of it I just haven't used it for a long time because I've been busy with other things. Thank you for taking the time to show other people how interesting this craft is.

[@JudyAngelman]

I made a Snoopy and Woodstock Latch hook back in 1982 for my first child’s bedroom. I had fun doing it!

[@CherLou1]

I love your patience and understanding of how to take your time with beginners. Thank you!

[@NM-jt3wc]

My daughter told me to try doing latch hook projects...I am so happy I found your video to help me get started!!! I believe I may have done this sometime back in the 1970s when I was younger because this looks familiar to me. I am so excited I'm going to go on Amazon and buy a project!

[@amandaklett5018]

This was so easy thanks to YOU! Thank You❤

[@Kimgottanewgroove]

Thank you 😊. I haven’t done this in an elephant’s years. I learned how to knit first in the 90’s, then went to crochet to jewelry making to DP . I love to craft.

[@sheppeyescapee]

Thank you so much for the instruction! I got a rug kit from my mum for my birthday and I could not figure it out from any of the other videos I've watched so far. I was on the verge of throwing it out the window before watching your video. So thank you for making it possible for this dyspraxic left hander :)

[@ValerieDee123]

Thank you! The larch hook and I were not friends, because of your video; I absolutely love this craft!

[@wonanesagriffin1018]

I bought a latch hook kit about a year ago as I have memories of doing this when I was younger. I think I will pull mine out and work on it. Thank you for keeping us young and our minds active with different projects 🤗

[@michaeljones4380]

I’ve never done latch hooking before but may try it out! I learned knitting and crocheting from my paternal grandmother and cross stitching from my mother. Fun times!

[@marinapennell6265]

I love this. A time-lapse would be awesome. I crochet , Diamond paint, and I do know how to latch hook as well.

[@michelegleason3104]

Lol, what memories!!! Back in the 70s, when I was 7 years old, I learned how to do this, and my aunt made me a huge Holly Hobby like one!! Never forget it.

[@michielliddell7131]

Super cool video! I looked this up for my girlfriend, but i liked it so much, I AM GOING TO TRY IT!! Thanks so much!

[@MrsCoffee1]

YOU GOT THIS! 🥰

[@hbain1]

I haven't latch hooked in over 25 years and I just bought a gnome one because of this video. Im so excited! Thank you for reminding me of a craft I used to love so so much.

[@RocketKira]

I found a giant cat rug one at good will for $3! Last time I did this was 25 hrs ago also 🤣 I’m so excited to try it again!

[@Catlover123r]

Thank you for helping me do this you made it so much easier

[@jennpetraglia9168]

Thank goodness for you!! I watched several other videos and this instruction was most clear!

[@annietaveras9923]

Love Latch Hook, this has been my hobby since i was in elementary school. Enjoy your kit,, post finish project. Have a blessed day

[@CindyMeekin]

Thank you so much for a wonderful and informative video. I taught my daughter years ago and am now working with my granddaughter on a pillow for her mom for Christmas. I couldn't remember how to do it so we watched your video together!!!

[@ms.yogig.7121]

I used to do mine differently. Try putting in the hook, wrap yarn around pole, as you pull, lay yarn in hook, turn it slightly left or right and pull. Latch will close and pull. Try it and see if that works. Just another way. Won’t get bored if you switch up while completing your rug. Hope I explained that correctly.

[@hannahelizabeth6405]

I did one project the way she shows in the video but the directions for the kit I’m doing by this brand say to do it the way you described. The way she does it is so much faster but I noticed the knots are in different spots when you do this and wasn’t sure that matters or not 😢 every other tutorial shows your method! It’s so confusing lol

[@EleanorWeller-e8x]

Just got my 1t kit for mothers day... I found this tutorial very easy to follow, thank you!

[@RandomlyKrafty]

I haven’t done a latch hook in a while. The ones I did had the pic color printed on the canvas. My first love is crochet. Taught by my grandma. She passed when I was eighteen and I gave it up for awhile. Picked it back up when my kids were little. Learned a lot more once KZbin came about. I’m a visual learner too.

[@cyndi8687]

I have never heard of this but you have definitely caught my attention and would love to see more! I love how you explain and show how to do the steps. I am a visual learner and have to see how it's done to understand and do it. Thanks 😊

[@SylasColbert]

THANK YOU! It just wasn’t clicking for me until this video! It totally makes sense now!

[@EKimatH]

Hey! I’m just commenting to feed the KZbin algorithm some engagement. I hope this video stays as easily accessible as if it is, I tried watching a few shorts and other videos before I got to this one, which is the best one! I really needed the visual… especially deciding in which direction to work. Thank you so much for this super great piece of content!

[@jencaprio3578]

I just bought my first latch hook rug kit and your tutorial is the only one that has actually helped! THANK YOU! 🙌 Every other video either uses terms I don't know yet or the camera is too far away. Once my frustration goes down, I'm going to try again while watching your video 😂

[@janicedunbar442]

Hey, hey Mrs. Coffee . Thanks for the latch hook tutorial. I love it. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@tiggerphill2305]

I bought a latch hook kit for the first time today. Only to find the canvas didn’t have any markings on it. It only had the square grid on the canvas. I felt completely overwhelmed. But after watching your video, and understand how to read the ledge accordingly to the design, I now feel confident, that I can do this. I’m very much looking forward to starting my project. Thank you.

[@lyndarawle2391]

Just bought my first one didn’t know we’re to start I would know better watching someone rather than of paper. I know how to do it now thank you so much for making this video.👍🏻

[@kathiglomb9490]

I am a quilter. However, I've had to give up my space, (temporarily), because we are now raising our 5 youngest grandchildren, and they needed bedrooms. I miss quilting terribly. I saw a latch hook kit online and decided to give it a try. I'm addicted to it. It is so much fun, calming, and therapeutic. I'm hooked (no pun intended). My new room will be ready this spring. My husband is building a new, 2 car carport and turning our now, 2 car carport into my new sewing/quilting room. I'm so excited. ❤❤❤

[@bebhibebhi]

The first video that I've seen that properly explains how to latch hook.

[@KristiChan1]

This is perfect, I recently been getting into crafting (embroidery and sewing so far) and lately I've been eyeing latch hook rugs (even needlepunch lol). This was a very nice and clear instructional video and I feel like I can take on this project, thank you!

[@amandalarge6983]

Love your video. I'm brand new to latch hook and didn't understand the written instructions. Now I know what to do. Thank you.

[@ritacore5606]

I used to love latch hook. My mom taught me to cross stitch when I was in my teens and then I went to latch hook. I still cross stitch a little bit but diamond painting is my go to now. I might just have to buy a latch hook so I have something to do at night when I'm in my recliner. Thank you for this. Very clear instruction, any beginner should be able to follow it.

[@lissetrodriquez9010]

[@everosa6312]

I use to latch hook when I was a teenager then life happened. lol But I loved doing it. That was so long ago. For christmas I got my grand daughter a latch hook kit. I'll be visiting with my daughter so I can show my grand daughter how to. Hopefully she'll enjoy it as much as she enjoyed diamond painting. Thanks for the demonstration Mrs. Coffee. and have a good night.🎄🎁🎀😀

[@zoesmith1678]

Thankyou so much for sharing your video, i bought my first latch hook kit today, I was unsure how to use the crochet hook but it was very clear his to use after I watched your video, thank you,

[@tortillagrl5064]

This is the first vid where I can actually understand how to do this. I can’t wait to show my kids how to do it as well. Thank you

[@MrsCoffee1]

Aww Yay!!!

[@reallyamermaid]

Thank you. This was very helpful. I used to do this as a kid, but am in my forties now and had forgotten the details. You teach well.

[@bobkash3446]

I’ve always been afraid to do this, thank you for showing me it’s not as hard as my mind was making it! I am going to get what I want this week, it’s a Christmas gift for someone!

[@nancymoebius838]

Thank you so much for this video! I used to do this as a child and someone just gave me a kit for a gift. I needed a refresher course!

[@danielleault93]

Yay!! I'm so excited for this video! I've been wanting to learn to latch hook for a while now and when I first heard you mention you were going to be making a video on it, I got so excited because you are my favorite crafter and you make everything so much easier when you teach things. You also give extra tips and tricks to make it easier that I don't find in other crafting videos. Things that maybe seem obvious to someone that is an experienced crafter but not necessarily a newbie. Like how to cut the canvas afterwards or working from the bottom to the top. So thank you for really breaking it down for the ones of us that are truly new to the crafts that you've shown us! I know I really appreciate all the hard work and thought that you put into your videos!

[@christong9868]

Great tutorial and good tip about centering the rug. Thank you.

[@jojoa0808]

Time lapses sound amazing - watching this makes me want to go get a kit and get back to Latch Hooking!

[@OrionStar1]

My mother-in-law taught me how to crochet. I also like Latch hooking. My foster mother taught me that one. I love making cards too. I just bought Latch hook pillow project. Can't wait to start that.

[@swanzettafowler3403]

My 7 year old is very interested in this project and crochet. This is our first year, so we are going to give it a try. Thank you for all your help.

[@MrsCoffee1]

You’re welcome 😊 and good luck

[@joannawright8751]

I think this was the first craft I learned as a kid. My brothers did this as well. We all liked to do latch hook. Our mother taught us.

[@anne-mariefisher651]

Excellent video! Thank you. I am knew to latch hook, but you’ve explained it very simply and easily.

[@garbriellez]

Oh my gosh thank you. Here I was, feeling completely overwhelmed while looking at that snowman from Frozen my daughter wants me to latch hook and there your video was. Now I think I might actually be able to do this 😂 thanks!

[@ronniex8994]

Excellent video! I plan on buying a kit online today! Thank you so much! 😊

[@clarissajones9771]

Your nails are always so pretty. I always love your nails.😍

[@MrsCoffee1]

Thank you

[@cindycox8437]

Thank you for the instructions. You were very clear and helpful. ❤

[@katelynnschuette5389]

Love time lapses on any craft. Love latchhook

[@shellyjow4659]

i have just learnt how to latch hook from you now on with my first attempt thank you for this amazing video

[@MrsCoffee1]

Yay! Congrats

[@aussiecraftmum]

Thank you for an easy to understand tutorial - the pictures that came with my kit were confusing and I was sure I’d made a mistake in thinking I could do it… nope I just needed Mrs Coffee to rescue me with a wonderful how-to 😅 Much appreciated 💜

[@michellescholl4396]

Thank you for showing me how to make a latch hook rug. I used to watch my mom make latch hook rugs when I was a little girl. I am 31 years old and now I'm working on a latch hook rug for the very first time.

[@MrsCoffee1]

Awesome! Im sure your mom is or would be proud

[@Gigi_rose21]

I can't believe it's so easy to do thanks so much x

[@debiweaver3238]

hi new sub here, i am so happy i found your channel, i suffer severe anxiety and depression , i recently got a latch hook kit, but had no idea how to do it, i do now after watching your video, thank you so much x

[@shareesemorrill8176]

Thank you for taking the time to show us. I haven't done latch hooking in a while but I've only done the stamped latch where the picture was already there but would like to try this way also

[@ereilly3335]

Perfect instructions. Thank you.

[@suorman]

Thank you so much, after five video tutorials yours was the only one that was successful for me 👍 a beginner ❤

[@MrsCoffee1]

So Happy To hear that!

[@toyaj1668]

Girl thank you so much!! I did not understand how to do it until I watched your video!! You're awesome 👍🏽

[@gemmasinon4069]

Great, easy tutorial. I’m starting mine.

[@Rebecca81171]

Thanks for the refresher Mrs Coffee. I have my kit and will get started soon.😊😊

[@GiraffeScorpio]

Thank you so much I needed a refresher as o used to do these in Girl Scouts thank you so much ❤❤❤

[@rebekahsearcy8986]

My grandma used to do it when she was newly married to my grandad. They have been married for nearly 50 years.

[@tammyglasenappsimon4941]

Hey Ms. Coffee hope you are well. Thanks for the tutorial on latch hook. I did this as a child and into years. I tried to teach my 10 yo granddaughter with no success. Well you take care and thank you as always

[@angela993]

Thank you my son bought me three kits to keep me active while having cancer treatment x

[@danapickering7981]

I’m very sorry about that

[@jeanetteburt3335]

Thank you for showing such a good detailed tutorial, so easy to follow. I have just bought my first kit and was looking for a good tutorial and found your channel. I'm now subscribed. Jeanette, New Zealand.

[@MrsCoffee1]

I appreciate you, welcome to the coffee home.

[@m.n.shumate448]

Thank you...this is very helpful! I'm getting ready to starting my 1st rug, hopefully I can have it turned out decently. Not sure what i was thinking but this project is more involved than i thought. I'll have to admit it's more involved than I thought it would be...here's hoping I finish it!🥴 Thanks for showing us how to latch hook!

[@RoseAngella]

I have never heard of this craft before and it is one that I can definitely do. I’d be interested in a time lapse of you completing it. My mum and sister did crocheting and it was like pulling teeth when they tried to teach me - I’m quite good at it now. I was also introduced to many crafts at school but only on an introduction level. I became a proficient knitter in my early twenties where a lady at a place I worked, rounded off my learning - I cannot thank her enough. 💜

[@Ddrhl]

So glad I watched you. Arthritis has ended my cross-stitching. On to latch hooking! UPDATE: I'm a third of the way through latch hooking an 80 x 80 Christmas tree skirt, when I realized the included, preprinted canvas was 76 x 77! SO, I'd add counting the squares before starting the project! You may need to edit the directions accordingly.

[@MrsCoffee1]

...editing for what?

[@creativegrammy6546]

I learned to latch hook as a small girl then mom taught me to crochet!!! As an adult I learned to do Candlewick then counted cross-stitch. Somewhere in there as an adult my grandma taught me quilting! For some dang reason when my husband died I tried diamond painting (I am hooked completely on that right now).

[@purpleraine4656]

Love this I used to do this year's ago. Would love to see time lapse please. You're so good at explaining things to newbies

[@MrsCoffee1]

😊

[@ms.yogig.7121]

I used to latch hook growing up, I loved it. Now I need to check on the latest rugs that are out. The image used to come on the canvas itself, just like diamond painting.

[@darlb3344]

Love this ❤ I remember this back in the day.

[@theresadeno3351]

Time lapses sound great!

[@Michele_78]

I was gifted a latch hook project and I'm really looking forward to learning.

[@samsungwalibaji2696]

First video I watched and of I go really helpful got the hang of it so fast thank you 😊😊❤xx

[@marcyclarke6078]

I’m just learning and your video is very informative

[@laurelbrown4074]

yes i want to watch a timelapse of u doing it but also wish youd do it live! love your videos

[@janicecox34]

I also have latch hook. Also I crochet, loom knit, cross stitch, diamond paint and make things with my circut maker. A friends mom taught me how to the crochet chains. I learned the rest of crocheting from a book. The rest I learned from videos. Cross stitch I learned through trial and error.

[@annharding4726]

Thank you for your tutorial I can't wait to try my 1st latch hook kit😊

[@kirahewitt4052]

Thank you so much for this. I can't wait to get started and now I'm interested to find out what diamond painting is.

[@taylacampbell9552]

I do alot of cross stitching and diamond painting. I came across this cute little latch hook kit and was like why not. The instructions however were very confusing. Thankyou for your video, very helpful for us beginners! 😊

[@MrsCoffee1]

Ya, im not sure why those instructions have been the same for 100yrs and no one ever understands them

[@marywashington4481]

Hello Mrs Coffee, thank you for the Latch hooking segment. Yes I've latch hook decades aga- Lol. I don't remember them being a blank canvas with ledger. Thought the diagram was already on the canvas. Tried to teach my 7yr old granddaughter how to latch hook, it may take several tries to catch on. Yes I would live to see more Latch hooking segment. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@rebekahsearcy8986]

I am trying latch hooking starting on July 1st. I am going to my grandma's house on July 1st. I will be there for 2 weeks. My grandma is getting me one, and it will be there by the time I get there. I am so excited.

[@9lavender]

Thank you for this great video. I'm not a crafter but would like to be. I found a latch hook kit that I really like and appreciate that you took the time to share your skill. It was great to hear you talk about how you learned to latch hook and your other skills. I especially appreciate your tip to start at the bottom and work your way up! Thank you. 👏💐🦋🙂❤

[@sarahwatson5250]

Love this, I did this as a kid to. My Grandpa made a whole rug!!! Keep latching sis🙃💜

[@TiaLee-c4k]

Thanks!

[@MrsCoffee1]

thx you

[@coneynjazz06]

Thank you so much for posting this! I now have a much better idea of how to use those blue guide squares to center my projects on to their canvases…. I was really getting discouraged….
