How to crochet a chick| Easy tutorial, Beginners crochet

This tutorial makes a super cute amigurumi chick plush, it’s suitable for beginners as it’s uses simple stitches and works up quick. However I wouldn’t recommend for complete beginners as the tutorial goes pretty fast.It would make a perfect treat to put into an Easter basket. Please note that this is not the proper way to crochet I was just testing things out and people asked how I got the stitch to look that way.

Please read the description before commenting. I’ve had a lot of comments saying this is terrible for beginners and it’s too fast however as explained in the description it’s only recommended for beginners because of the simple stitches used ❤

Good for you. People think every video is to teach them how to crochet. They need to learn how to crochet and how to follow patterns before they try to make things. These are my favorite videos. Show it on the screen then do it.

[@urnotthatguybuddy]

you can also do this with the magic circle if working with the magic ring is too difficult for you! Just skip the SS and go straight to SC when starting the second row. Its way easier imo and the only downside is that the MC isn't as clean when it comes to closing the small hole but sowing should close it just as well

Know how to do the magic ring, there are many videos on youtube that go through how to do the MR only that are very helpful or even show you alternatives. All tutorials can't be going over the basics it wouldnt make sense to do so.

[@deadizukumidoriya914]

As an autistic kid who self taught crochet stuff, I couldn’t do the beginning part and freaked out multiple times because it wouldn’t turn out right no matter how many times I watched it in slow motion I couldn’t understand it at all.. it could just be me but only one thing has worked for me and it’s not a pretty thing too.. i am currently crying because I just wanted to make a duck but even beginner videos are to hard for me to understand..

[@willowartstudio23]

Hi the magic ring is completely normal to not get right especially as a beginner the reason this video is labelled beginner is because of the stitches used I would recommend searching complete beginners tutorials these should be more helpful as they go into more detail ❤️

[@theonesheep]

Some people chain 2 then work all the rest of the stitches in the first chain. The MR is especially hard using the fluffy yarn so don't feel bad about it!! If anything you can try doing it with acrylic or cotton yarn first until you get the hang of it!

[@angvlyx]

It’s been awhile since this comment was posted but there’s another way to make a magic ring that I personally find easier. It’s making a slip knot, chaining two, then putting all the stitches you would put into a magic ring in the FIRST (bottom) chain you made, and then tightening like a magic ring!

[@deadizukumidoriya914]

@@angvlyx I’ve been chaining 4 then connecting my first chain to my last chain and I’ve made a bunny, spider, a few bucket hats and other drafted stuff. That’s what i learned to do 😭😭 I still can’t make a magic ring- thank you for the advice though!!

Hello beginner crocheter here! What is the use of the green pin ur putting throughout the video?

Hi it’s called a stitch marker it’s optional to use but I recommend too

[@lyssaurs]

i dont really get it because its so fast and i am a beginner so this is kinda very confusing and i also dont really get the stuff on the top left corner so if u could help that would be great! Thanks!

[@birdahicalana]

To make the speed slower, change the playback speed, it will help. Sc = single crochet, dec = decrease and inc = increase. The rows should be self explanatory. The numbers just tell you how many times to do each stitch. Hope this helped a bit, im not the best at explaining.

[@lyssaurs]

@@birdahicalana ty but im still a beginner but every piece of advice helps thank you!

[@birdahicalana]

@@lyssaurs no problem. I think that you should start by making a ball since most animals involve a ball for the head or body. The main stitches to learn are increase, decrease and single crochet. I started crocheting about 2 months ago and, as soon as I figured out how to make a ball, I started making other animals. A tip that I have is, don’t unravel your animal if you have less stitches then the one in the video. Eg. when single crocheting, you should have 18 stitches, but having 16 stitches as a beginner isn’t going to change the animal that much. Hope this is helpful.

Ch means chain, the most basic thing. Mr means magic ring, you have to know how to do this if you want to make amigurumi, slst is slip stitch, sc is single crochet, inc is increase, dec i decrease.😊

[@rustyxd343]

There's a difference between being a beginner and your first time holding a hook. If you don't know how to make a chain you've never made a single thing unless you are a magician and learned to make a Ring before a chain. Going off your standards nothing is beginner friendly unless they have an hour long tutorial showing every single type of stitch worked. Don't stress the content creators they are fine calling this beginner. You have to learn the stitches before reading a pattern. That's like trying to read a book without knowing English first. Even a children's "beginner" book wouldn't be "for beginners" if you don't know how to read. Otherwise all children's books would have to teach you what letters are and how they sound.

[@MaryAnnSweetAngel]

Ch 1 means chain one. Like you make a chain stitch.
