DEAR KATIE, YOU’RE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER, I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I’M NOT THE SMARTEST OLD WOMAN ON EARTH (75 y/o), AND YOU MAKE IT SO EASY AND CLEAR. I’VE LOOKED AT SO MANY, MANY VIDEOS, AND WAS SO DISCOURAGED, I DID PRAY FOR HELP. AND LO AND BEHOLD , SAW YOUR VIDEO, AND I’M ON MY WAY TO MAKING ME A VEST FOR THE WINTER.

[@Katieree]

It is my absolute pleasure! Thanks so much for watching 💛

[@aaa_2207]

YOU ARE A QUEEEN!! I can’t thank you enough I’ve been trying to learn all quarantine through different videos. No one explained it like you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Katieree]

Thankyou so much! 🥰🥰

[@angelburrito]

I just successfully crocheted for the first time! I'm a mildly competent knitter and have always wanted to give crochet a go. I've tried following a few other youtube tutorials but I always ended up with a tangled mess. But not today - your instructions are awesome!! I hope you have further parts coming so I can keep learning!!! I made a 10cm square and I'm feeling invincible! Haha!

[@Katieree]

Hey Jessie! Oh my gosh your comment has made my day!! 🙌🏼 Thankyou for such great feedback, I’m so happy you found my video helpful! There will definitely be more videos to follow!! ❤️❤️ Thankyou for watching 🌻

[@LightYellow_9]

You are awesome. Anyone who wants to learn crochet should watch your video. Thank you very much.

[@Katieree]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@TaaliaPlaysss]

If i ever get good at crocheting, i'm gonna make sweaters/jumpers, cardigans, scarfs blankets and toys and i'll give some of them to charity to go to kids and families who might need it! this REALLY helped make a chain, so thanks!

[@Katieree]

That’s so lovely! Thanks for watching 💛

[@chrissyluna8183]

Thank you so much for sharing your video, I have been trying to learn for over a yr . I have watched many "beginner "videos and never could grasp it ,today you broke it down and showed the "v" slot so to speak to put hook through and I have made so much progress in the few hrs since I've seen your video. Again thank you for breaking it down slowly for this beginner.

[@silk9311]

Thank you so much for posting these. I’ve been trying my hand at crocheting and I haven’t been able to get past the chain stitch. I’ve watched many videos and I felt so confused...your video has finally given me clarity on which hole to insert my hook once I flip my work. Thank you!! 🧶

[@Katieree]

Thanks so great to hear!! Thankyou for your lovely feedback 🥰 enjoy! 💕

[@ngumapoh2640]

Omg that you so much I always wanted to learn how to crochet for begginers but I never found the correct vid until now thank you for everything.

[@Katieree]

My pleasure! Happy to help 🥰

[@brianna8135]

THANK YOU ive been watching videos non stop and you were the only one who has helped me get the chain stitch right and also on how to hold it still TYSM

[@Katieree]

[@susanscreativecrochet]

I just want to say thank you! My grandma taught me decades ago, but I quit for some reason. Lol. I've decided to try again. You were the first video I tried and I love it! You are so easy to learn from! I'm gonna follow you! Thank you again

[@Katieree]

Thanks so much Susan! That’s so lovely of you 🥰 Enjoy! 😁

[@vfd9574]

My friend recommended your tutorials to me, a knitter, trying to learn crochet. You really do make everything so clear. Thank you! Thank you! (I would love to see a tutorial on reading crochet patterns.)

[@Katieree]

That’s so lovely! Thanks so much 🥰

[@oquefizhoje]

Very well. A table and a shelf with different kinds is yarns. The demonstration is flawless, very nice zoom and pace. You nailed it.

[@fidgetgirl5993]

I cannot express how I felt after watching this video. Wow! I have been trying to crochet for over a year now, scouring for every single video on KZbin I could find… Nothing! It didn’t help no matter how hard I tried NOPE! I recently came across your Sentro knitting machine videos and has so far watched all of them.😂 I saw this video pop up from your channel and immediately clicked because why not? OMG the way you explain everything just clicks… like it works! Thankyou SO much for this video and now I can finally crochet! (Ps. Pls make more knitting machine vids!)

[@Katieree]

Omg this comment has made my night! Thank you so much. It is my absolute pleasure!! Glad I could help 🥰 more knitting machine videos to come I promise haha 💛

[@fidgetgirl5993]

@@Katieree thanks!😍

[@twistedfairy26]

Could you do a video on different ways to hold the yarn please? I have arthritis in my hands and have tried crocheting but my hands cramp up. I don’t seem to have much trouble with knitting and really want to learn to crochet 😀😀

[@kristineharrower7813]

[@thelittleengineer4473]

Hey! Love your series! Meant to start crocheting a long time ago but I never could find a guide that made sense! I love how you slowly went through the steps! Thank you!

[@Katieree]

Thank you so much! It’s my pleasure 🥰 enjoy! 💕

[@GirlArmy21]

ha ha ....mine looks like poop! LOL. I am not sure I am getting in the right "v" but at least it looks consistent! Going to have to watch this over again. I used to crochet years ago, so it is starting to come back to me..the motion of going thru one stitch and then 2 to get the single crochet. XO from Canada.

[@Katieree]

Practice makes perfect! You’ll get there 😊💕

[@GirlArmy21]

Back an hour later. Made a scarf. Not sure if it’s crocheting or just a bunch of similar knots...but it looks like a repeated pattern 🤪. Going to a yarn store with it tomorrow to see if I am close! I am left handed so I could be doing it backwards! going to keep watching your tutorials.

[@Katieree]

That’s awesome!! 🙌🏼💕

[@natalieb2454]

I love your videos. Thank you! Can’t wait to begin my first project. Could you please show me how you hold your yarn in your left hand? I like how you use your pointer finger & thumb to hold the stitches. TIA

[@katx525]

this is the best tutorial on youtube!!! your assuring words mean so much hahahaha

[@Katieree]

Thanks so much Kat! 😆🥰

[@maitrijamieson5496]

I came from another tutorial that made NO SENSE AT ALL and you saved me from another mental breakdown 🥲✌️

[@Katieree]

That's great to hear Maitri! Happy to help 😁

[@Christina-df7fw]

Thank you! The only video that I fully understood. This is my 3rd attempt at making a single crochet patch and it finally came out looking somewhat normal. My main issue was that I was putting the hook through the V/stitch instead of under it.

[@Katieree]

That’s great to hear Christina! I’m so glad you found my video helpful 🥰

[@gloriatan3765]

Hi Kate, please teach us and show how to crochet a teddy bear. Thank🙏

Thanks Ella! 🥰

[@ellaeverett8174]

@@Katieree I am new here in the crocheting world so can you make a video on either how to do a magic circle or how to make a small blanket??

[@gailevans2569]

Brilliant

[@natasha343]

Love your video, but I'm confused on one thing. I have a learn to crochet book that says in order to make a single crochet you go into the back ridge of the V's. But your video you seem to insert the hook into the V its self from the front. (You didn't spend as much on where exactly to insert the hook for the first single crochet.) If someone could reply and let me know which way I'm suppose to do this that would be amazing. Only thing I'm unsure about the rest of the video is super easy to follow! Thank you ♡

[@That1artsychic]

Your videos are super helpful, thanks!

[@Katieree]

My pleasure!! 🥰

[@oneilthboss1066]

What is that white something in the background

[@porschewilson1213]

Ok but like I'm still stuck on the first part the chain how do you get it tight? Mine are so lose 😩

[@Katieree]

Practice practice practice! 💛

[@pinkglitter87]

What kind of yarn do you use? My yarn keeps falling apart and I couldn’t get tight enough.

[@Katieree]

This is the 4 Seasons Spot Saver USA Style from Spotlight in Australia 💕

[@SkyBlueCO83]

What ply yarn are using here? Is it 10 like you recommended in your last video? I can’t find 10 on Amazon, I can only find 4. I have Mira 4ply with a 5.5 hook which came with the yarn as a set.

[@Katieree]

Hey Erin, this is a 10 ply aka medium weight 4 😊

[@SkyBlueCO83]

@@Katieree thanks so much for explaining that. I just bought some that’s 4medium. Hopefully this will help me better.

[@Katieree]

My pleasure! 🥰

[@christinakelly7650]

This makes a lot of sense but I can't find a tutorial on how to finish a project! I feel I am forever going to be crocheting a square.

[@Katieree]

Hey Christina! My newest video shows how to fasten off your project - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmWbladvrJuEjdU I hope this helps :)

[@christinakelly7650]

@@Katieree omg thank you so much! I have a very nice square/rectangle getting a practice in on this stitch, no one seems to explain crocheting in q way I understand but you. Thank you!

[@Katieree]

My pleasure Christina!! 🥰

[@hollycook7497]

I can see why the UK call it a double stitch. You are yarning over twice per stitch.

[@manahilkhan2903]

hi, can you do a video on how to make mittens or gloves out of yarn?

[@Katieree]

I’ve never made gloves before but when I learn I can make a video for sure! 😊

[@pamyoung6860]

Very good, but you do not show this old guy what the left hand is doing !

[@vedraspruill1395]

You have good tips but talk entirely too much. Please get to the point.

[@Katieree]

How does one share such great tips without speaking? Please explain.

[@vedraspruill1395]

@@Katieree Yes you have to speak of course, I was referring to over explaining. For example, when you was talking about the different crochet hooks you went on too long about how bad plastic hooks are. I mean I get it plastic hooks aren’t the best you don’t have to spend so much time on.

[@Katieree]

Sorry you feel this way Vedra. These videos are for total beginners who may have never even looked at a crochet hook before, so I like to go into as much depth as possible and repeat things to ensure understanding. You are more than welcome to fast forward through the parts you aren’t interested in. Thanks for watching! 💕

[@kelleyfritz8582]

I like your video but damn this is the point you keep saying the same s*** over and over and over like 10 times you say in the road just get to the point I've been sitting here waiting on you to show the next step for 10 minutes
