[@amylent7039]

I agree, wonderful instruction! Thank you so much ❤

[@inniyaalprabahar]

A tip for beginners: Even though I am still a beginner my tip is don’t let other people tell you what is right and wrong. Choose what it is comfortable for you for example I was told I have to hold my hook like a pencil but the way I hold it makes me 10 times faster than holding it like a pencil! If you do something differently doesn’t mean it isn’t right!

[@caitlynbecker3626]

This! Also good to note that you don't have to hold every hook the same. For example if I'm using big yarn, meaning big hooks (looking at you Bernat Blanket Extra) I change my hook grip to accommodate. I usually do a modified pencil/chopstick hold, but when using extra large hooks I knife hold. It is ALL about what is comfortable for YOU.

[@nikkiburt8468]

I don't understand how anyone prefers pencil hold - it is so difficult!

[@inniyaalprabahar]

@@caitlynbecker3626 totally! I don’t use chunky yarn for crochet because I don’t find it very easy to use as a beginner but I understand what you are saying!

I found it very informative and easy to follow. I look forward to viewing your other videos. Thank you for the time and effort in creating these videos.

[@thegidgets]

I have been watching multiple slo mo and beginner videos, and this was the most helpful and clearest. This is the video that did it for me. The smooth yarn, the “training wheels”, the clear location description and why, the different stitches, how to read the stitches, why to rotate, and why to create a chain when flipping. Finally it makes sense! Thanks for remembering what was hard for you when you started-your empathy is appreciated and made this very usable.

[@pzpierce]

I am 72 years old and decided I would learn together with my 10-year-old granddaughter. It’s hard to explain to her when I don’t know how to crochet myself. So this afternoon, I worked my way through your whole video, starting over a number of times and finally getting done with my little swatch. This was so helpful! I feel like I can continue learning more and really get this figured out. Thanks so much!

[@Lisa_Flowers]

I did this whole thing and I'm really proud of myself! I definitely started again multiple times and practiced each individual stitch a ton, dropped a few stitches here and there, and had some issues with tension (tight at the beginning, more even as I went along), but I learned so much! Especially foundational things that I would have definitely missed if I jumped straight into patterns (which I kind of did, but came back to this to nail the basics). Learning to identify stitches by the v at the top was definitely the most useful take away for me, as I'm horrible at reading stitches and get so confused when things come out slightly wonky and I don't know why. Turns out I was putting hook into the wrong place half the time lol. I still need to get better at reading the back and front of stitches, but thank you so much for making this! I'll definitely be coming back to it over and over. You explained things so clearly and just watching how your hands moved was hugely helpful in itself.

[@chompers11]

@@JamiLeigh77 just mess around making chains and restarting until you're comfy, holding the yarn is super important. I found some beginner videos that helped me. The yarn comes in to your left pinky if right handed, wraps around once, then over the top of the hand and your pointer leads it with your left thumb. The right hand holds the tool with your pointer and thumb with the rest of the hand holding the thing you're working on. Something like that. Just mess around until you're comfy

A beginner video showing me how to ID where each "stitch" is was equally as important to me as holding the yarn because I make so many mistakes it's important to know how to fix them. Like the tool slips out and i have to take off a couple stitches to fix it would be a "start over" moment originally but now it's an easy fix :) you got this!

I made a couple swatches from these beginner tutorials and now I am continuing to explore your channel and others to hone my skills and hoping to start a shawl that has an easy to understand pattern/tutorial. A million trillion times, thank you!!!! ❤🎉😊

Thank you for this tutorial. After jumping from one beginner's tutorial to another video, yours is the best one for me. The pace in explaining, camera focus and your choice of yarn colour made it really easy to see the stitches. Also, I really like your training wheel tip🙏

[@tessaflexner4095]

You have literally started my whole crochet career so this video is so important, thank you so much

[@deannahicks1656]

The way you teach is simply superb! My crocheting journey is only on day 4 and I am so glad I clicked on your video. Thank you so much!!!

[@OneToxicPixel]

Hands down the best tutorial I was able to find online. I was getting very frustrated because I just couldn't get my chains to look right, I wasn't able to pull the yarn through the loops and I was actually about ready to give up. Thank you very much, I think I can now do this finally! 🙏

[@lisakellersaunders6108]

I've tried to learn crochet a few times and this video is the first thing that made it super clear! I feel like I get it now. Great demonstrations

[@03wichita]

I've literally been trying to learn how to crochet since I was a child. Multiple people, multiple books, and NOTHING has worked until this video! 20 years of only ever knowing how to do chains and now I'm breezing through stitches feeling like a pro! Thank you so much!

[@meganwooldridge7031]

This is the video that finally got me doing the single crochet!!

[@ehcseg6860]

I already learned to crochet the hard way, but this video is great. I remember not knowing how to count and messing up Projekts. I bet the people who learn from you won’t have that problem. You are really a sunshine of a person. Thank you so much. you are so great at teaching.

[@LALA-zm9xg]

I'm loving this video! Nobody did training wheels in their videos. This will most definitely help me with my work from going slanted on both sides🤣🤣 Thank you Toni!!

[@Rosebud2503]

Lol...same here...😆🙋‍♀️ those stitch markers are brilliant.

[@amandac.119]

I'm trying to crochet again 🫣 I quit a few months back. But your video is so simple to understand! Thank you for the simple and slow step by step.

[@dianecarlson9229]

After several years of touch and go crocheting (just rote copy) I FINALLY know how to count my stitches, understand and identify the construction of each stitch, and how to consistently make each stitch uniform. I’ve watched many videos and yours is the most easily understood! You are an excellent teacher and I am now officially a huge fan! Thanks you soooo much! Keep calm and crochet on!

[@astralura]

I've been crocheting for years and I still loved watching this. It gave me a new perspective on learning that I hadn't seen before. You're truly a gifted and experienced teacher. I'm really grateful for you sharing your knowledge and insight and I'm looking forward to using this to help others learn.

[@crazy2apoint]

I am very thankful for this video. I never in a million years thought I could or would crochet. Truly appreciate your teaching methods!

[@novafalcosmith]

New crocheter here … thank you so much for taking us through each step one by one slowly and with patience of a saint you are amazing thank you thank you thank you❤

[@sinastogner9118]

Toni…you are wonderful!!!! I could listen to your sweet voice forever 🥰

[@sanlocrip]

This is the most detail and thorough tutorial for beginner i've watched. Thank you so much! Can't wait to start my first project

[@selene4180]

the ONLY tutorial that’s worked for me! Thank you & you explain BEAUTIFULLY

[@hazelhardy3941]

That couldn’t have been explained better. Thank you for a brilliant video.

[@jenniferhuang2124]

This is amazing. Thank you! I have been dabbling with crochet for years but never understood where a stitch begins and ends, how to count stitches, how to keep my tension even, etc. Your video is LIFE CHANGING.You break it down so simply. Really really excellent!

[@mary123_21]

I'm really so glad that I watched that video . Thank you pretty lady for making me happy learning details I have never understood before . Thank you from my button of my heart 🩷🩷.

[@kellymcginleyashe5199]

I've been crocheting since I learned from my Gramma in elementary school. I'm 38 years old now and just stumbled on your video and decided to give it a watch. This is THE best learn-to-crochet video I've ever seen and I will be sharing this with all of my friends who have a desire to learn. Thank you for making this. Well done!

[@MegOtto4268]

I teach art and I am incorporating crochet this quarter. This video is HANDS DOWN the most concise video I’ve seen! Fabulous job❣️

[@TLYarnCrafts]

You're too kind! I'm so glad you found it useful :-)

[@eviekleinwhittingham9237]

Toni, I love how you SHOW and explain how and why to do the basic stitches, including how to hold the hook and the yarn. I do find the tip to use only one turning chain for half double crochet rows and double crochet rows very useful to produce a straight strong edge for seaming. You've made an excellent video for me to share with beginners. 😊

[@ronayelyn8350]

I absolutely love you! I crochet (self taught) about 35 yrs ago. I made an Irish Celtics knot (pattern) sweater for my husband. He STILL WEARS IT! I 4GOT EVERYTHING AND as I search the net, God put you right here! Can't follow others. You are amazing! I would only suggest (cause I'm slow) that you slow down a bit. You are on last stitch and I'm making #4😂. Again thank you so very much. Have a joyous Easter. He is Risen!

[@ohhellothere123]

I've been trying crochet on and off for about a year now due to the fact that I could never find a video that explained it right, went too fast, or just expected me to be able to do it as fast as them, but your video really made me grasp onto the information I was having trouble with. Thanks!!!

[@JacobS13]

I just want to say a big thank you!! I have dyspraxia so learning new skills is always frustrating and difficult as I learn at a slower pace. Yours is the only tutorial that I have came across that is actually helping so far as you explain things slowly with a ton of description and information. Thank you!

[@janetcooper4169]

Wish I had had this video when I started learning crochet! Toni's instruction is so clear and paced well for a beginner. The photos are large and she explains each step thoroughly. Her technique is impeccable so you can be sure you are getting correct instruction.

[@elizabethlincks4628]

This video is so much easier to watch than the others I’ve seen. Thank you!!❤❤❤❤

[@sofiapup1]

Thank you so so so much!! I have been wanting to learn for so long and couldn't follow a lot of other tutorials. I'm so happy I found yours, because this is the first crochet work I've ever successfully done. I am thankful you described everything so well, otherwise I wouldn't be able to follow along like the other times I've tried.

[@gil5217]

This was so helpful! I taught myself to knit almost 15 years ago but never could wrap my head around crochet. Now I have a lil swatch and a dozen Ravelry tabs open and a lot of excitement for something I'd given up on ever being able to do. Thanks for posting!

[@phyllispate2951]

I’m not nearly finished watching but I already know this is the very best video for instruction I have ever watched! I have tried for years to understand crocheting and finally I get it! So glad that I found you…. Thank you!
