How to *actually* crochet your own clothes in 2023 // beginners guide to crochet 🧶💓

[@theminimalistninja]

My very first project was cleansing pads. The first ones looked awful and the 4th one turned out lovely! My second project was a hanging plant and I am currently working on the second one :) I definitely recommend starting with anything that you really want to make! :)

[@cassrwong]

aw I love that! I really want to make a hanging plant too they're so cute!

I learned how to crochet when I was 10. My mom taught me. My first projects were doilys, but now I make clothes and bags.

[@fuzzydays5699]

If you wanna learn to do all the basic stitches (ch, sc, dc, tc) , you can make a heart applique. That was my first finished crochet project for my parents’ anniversary.

Bae omg that two piece with the skirt is so cute >

[@cassrwong]

aww thank u! and omg don't even get me started on the amount of unfinished WIPs I have hahah you got this!!

[@DragonDaGay]

My very first crochet project was a simple and loose open 'bag' that still hangs on my wall today, I think I did pretty well for having done that when i was around 8

Started in December of 2020, spent a few weeks really just learning how to crochet and making squares using different stitches and trying out things like colour changes and magic circles, but my very first proper project was a bunny baby comforter with a little headband

I started in 2020-2021, can't remember, and I've loved every second of it! I've done pretty much every group possible, except wearables, hence why I clicked on this! Thanks!

[@SonyaxTunggie]

Me too!! Then I stopped for a year because I couldn't understand the magic circle and no one else I knew could crochet back then

[@kshina3624]

so i am currently doing my second crochet project which is a simple top. my first one was one of those bags you pull a string to close it. not sure what its actually called but its super cute

[@markolke1424]

Thanks for sharing your beginners guide!

[@kaylapetranic]

I love that cardigan!!!!

[@kiwina-b2x]

I started crocheting in august, but this would have been very useful! :") I'm going to watch it though. I might learn interesting stuff! :D

[@SierraHopkins-w4q]

I love it so much

[@pruebalandia1234]

I need to ask, do you have some trick to avoid drop stitches?? I got the machine two days ago and I'm going crazy with it. It may be the yarn but idk 🥲

[@PrincessDia1074]

you are so pretty😳

[@Bhagya-AP]

So i started crocheting around 2 weeks ago and am totally obessed. So far I've learned the slip knot, chain stitch, single crochet, increase, decrease and magic ring. For my first project i made a little amigurumi cat and it was soo fun. Thing is the yarn balls i get is very small, maybe like around half or 1/3 of what you showed so i can only make up to one or hardly 2 amigurumi projects with it. I just bought a metal hook set and am practicing working with them (previously i was using this spare hook i had which i don't even think is a crochet hook) but my hands get very sweaty when I'm crocheting and the metal hooks get slippery, do u have any advice for that? Also I'm not fluent with manipulating the yarn or hook so i end up guiding the yarn off the hook by pinching it. How was it for you when u first began?? Also these vids are very helpful, do keep making them, subscribed

[@Bhagya-AP]

@@jennieandersson7368 woow thanks alot for taking the time to respond!! Actually after googling fixes for a while, i just ended up wrapping a few loom bands round the neck of my hooks and it's super smooth to use! Thing is i bought a set of em off of amazon, dont think I'll be able to get another set anytime soon, but you're absolutely right. Personally, i think i just needed to familiarise myself with the tools (holding the yarn, tension etc.) and it's all cool now :)

[@Dacoljr]

You forgot to tell people that some yarn labels come with free patterns in them❤

[@melinacarlinedesigns]

Hi Cass ! ♥️

[@cassrwong]

hiii 💓

[@melinacarlinedesigns]

@@cassrwong when you mentioned you do social media for work, do you need to have any specific qualifications or can anyone do this if they have creative abilities?

[@marialorca6612]

I have a question, how do I transfer my meassurements to a crochet proyect? Is there like a formula??? Or do I just try it on and see how it fits?

[@alinatr2693]

Most of the time,you have to measure yourself to get it right. Most of the projects are in xs-m,but sometimes there are more sizes in the description( box).

[@zaracousins3734]

Gauge switching would be your best bet. Make a small square that measures, lets say 10 cm x 10cm. From that gauge you can see how many stitches and rows are need to get that measurement. If you need, for example, 50cm x 100cm you can multiply your gauge, and in the process multiple the amount of rows and stitches you'll need. At least approximately, you tension consistency may affect it, but it's a good place to start

[@leidyneve7337]

From what I learnt from other tutorials from others ..you have to add 2 inches on your actual body measurements .. that is if you're crocheting a top or a dress for yourself..for example if you're crocheting a top.....and your bust measurement is 31 inches...then you have to add 2 inches on that 31 to make it 33 inches on your actual crocheted top....I hope this helps... blessed day to u all😍🇸🇧

[@Dacoljr]

You seriously don't just walk down the street knitting? Because genuinely walk down the street crocheting...
