How to crochet in the round for ABSOLUTE beginners! | Tutorial | Kay Krochets

[@Wumbles]

This is the only video of the like 5 I’ve found that actually explain it fully, and go slow enough that I can follow along without constantly rewinding and pausing, as someone who only knows how to chain and single crochet, thank you!!

[@laura7smith7]

I thought the exact same thing! She's a great teacher. Thank you, Kay!

[@alecklabunde6748]

Yeah, same here so far. Every video I've seen is like that comic on how to draw an owl lol. "Step one, make a magic circle. Step two, crochet the rest of the round."

[@estherakonai2741]

It was pretty hard but I got the hang of it 😅😮

[@soambitious270]

So is it R1 1 R2 2-2 R3 1-2 R4 1-1-2 R5 1-1-1-2 Is R6 ?

​@@soambitious2706th row is 1 1 1 1 2. 😊

[@justgisela1990]

I’m 12 years old and I want to start crocheting I actually already have yarn and the hooks but it’s was very hard with the videos but this video actually helped me into making my first circle :) thank you :)

I have terminal cancer and have managed to learn the basics of crochet through KZbin video's...watching you and bag o day mostly. Im hoping to crochet an afghan for my daughter and son in law and 1 for each grandbaby thats 2 more afghans. Im half done with my daughter's. Its taken me near a year. I started soon as i was diagnosed and i started trying to learn actually about a month or so before i i was diagnosed. Ive been battling cancer for 17 months. I wasn't terminal at 1st. I now know im inoperable and my treatments are to prolong my life long as they give me quality of life and until i just have no fight left in me and the good Lord says its my time. Please pray for me yall. I appreciate the videos you make. Thank you so much

[@fificapsalott]

get well soon ❤

[@Daisyly-b8x]

I hope you will feel better

[@LizzyOooo]

I’m not sure if you’re still there, but I hope you eventually manage to fight and win this monster. I know that it’s not a fun, and definitely not an easy fight. It can take a lot of effort and determination. Even still, that monster can take a life despite all the fighting. But, it’s always a possibility that that person fighting could win. Someone like you. And I hope, (if you’re still fighting it,) i hope that things will get better with you. And If things aren’t getting better, I hope that you understand and that you may live the best life you possibly can. I believe in you. You got this! ❤

[@peachyenigma]

hope you're doing okay! :(

[@leahweiss2972]

This is exactly the type of tutorial I was looking for! I couldn’t find one that explained starting with a chain and ending with the slip stitch AND where to put the next stitches. Thank you!

[@kankrivantas5536]

A very dear friend of mine passed recently and another friend who visited me after it happened, showed me how to single crochet to help give me a task to do and have something to keep my hands busy. Thank you for helping expand my skillset, it really means a lot to me to have something to do in this time. I appreciate you so much ❤

[@KayKrochets]

My pleasure. I'm so sorry to hear about your dear friend passing. I pray that God comforts you through this difficult time ❤️

My pleasure! I'm so proud of you for not giving up 👏

[@grimmssocalledlife4140]

I am on the spectrum and I have watched so many videos on how to do this and read books. None of that taught me anything until I watched you. You explain things very clearly and have a way of making a lot of sense in a world of chaos please continue videos

Awww 😭🥰 You're too kind! Thank you for the feedback and encouragement.

I had absolutely never crocheted in my life, this was a great tutorial. It was super helpful and you're a great teacher!!

Aw! Okay 1) You're so kind. Thank you 🥰 and 2) I'm so proud of you for learning something new!!

[@Funkynature]

Hello ! I wanted to thank you. I’m 14, and I started crocheting when I was like 12 but I completely gave up, I didn’t even know how to make a slit knot. Crocheting is the ABSOLUTE hardest thing I have ever done and I can’t stop failing but your tutorial is so much help !

[@KayKrochets]

I'm so glad I was able to help you. Don't give up, friend! You're SO young. Learning anything new is such a challenge. Just laugh and learn through the mistakes ❤

[@Misseggy24]

Oh my goodness this was exactly what I needed! Have been crocheting for a few months, and have successfully crocheted jumpers, scarfs, all sorts of flat and granny stitch items… but I absolutely could not get the hang of crocheting in the round. So many tutorials out there, and yet basically none of them actually slow down and explain exactly where to put your stitches to make sure you’re not losing some or adding unnecessary extras. Thank you for this!

[@KayKrochets]

@Misseggy24 Aw yay 🥳 I'm so glad I could help. Happy crocheting (in the round!)

I am 12 years old and started crocheting, I tried so many tutorials on how to make a circle and all of them either went to fast or didn’t explain enough, this was the first video that really helped me understand and I made a perfect circle thanks to you! 😊 I’m definitely checking out those other beginner videos!

[@KayKrochets]

Ah!! It's so cool that you're learning to crochet at 12 and I'm so glad I was able I help!

Same for my daughter!! I hated that she was in tears! I found this one, and she's doing a lot better!

[@LoraEyrich]

This tutorial was a wonderful refresher for crocheting in the round and counting. It is easy to understand Kay and she explains things very well and slowly. She hit the right details. I look forward to watching other tutorials by Kay.

[@shieldedsugar68]

Thank you! This is by far the easiest explanation I have seen yet. The yarn you are using makes it very easy to see. I was having trouble with which stitch to slip stitch and which one to start the next round. I am happy to continue now!

[@KayKrochets]

That used to stump me, too!! I'm glad I could help. Happy making ❤️

[@lydiajoy1823]

This was very very helpful! I get so mixed up at the end of a round when I try to crochet in the round. I think this will really help me so I don’t get confused between the last stitch and the chain one from the previous round

[@janecarter4114]

I have watched so much magic circle, magic loop videos and FINALLY I found you! You made it so simple and uncomplicated. I could actually crochet in the round. It isn't quite as pretty and well formed as yours, but I think with practice it will. I'm sending your site to friends!! Thank you!!!
