Wow I have not picked up a needle in over 30 years. My stepmom taught me as a young child and I would crochet for hours. Looking back it was her way of helping me with ADD. Mikey, your tutorial is wonderful. The way you are explaining everything not only on how to complete a stitch but why. Being able to understand the 'why' helps the process. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and braking it down into such a simplistic manner. I saw on Pinterest the most beautiful Starlight Mint Christmas blanket, watched a video on it and my head exploded. Now after watching you in this one video I know it's something I will be able to accomplish. Thank you for helping me gain the knowledge and skills to be able to make something meaningful for my mother.

I always love your tutorials, Mikey. You explain everything so well, especially the overall reasoning behind a pattern or stitch. I've been crocheting since I was 16 (40 years) but I'm watching this before recommending it to a Facebook friend who wants to learn. I may have a good tip to help develop consistency in stitches quickly (15:30). I don't know if anyone wants to follow it or not but it's the way my mom taught me and, while I hated it at the time, I have been SO grateful that she made me do this. In the long run, it speeds up the process of developing consistency and it's well worth it. What I would suggest is to practice making a chain of 100 once a day for a week. That is, starting with a slip knot, just chain... and chain and chain and chain. Make a new chain every day. You can pull it out when you're finished or keep each one so you can see the difference. If it sounds like a tedious chore, it is. BUT-- at the end of the week you'll be quite comfortable with holding the yarn, making chains and making chains consistently. What you're doing is developing muscle memory-- like a pianist practicing scales or a typist repeating "The lazy brown fox..." At first, you'll go slowly and struggle, struggle, struggle. But by the end of the week you'll be able to manage relatively quickly. And, best of all, as you move on to more intricate stitches, that muscle memory will support your efforts. After spending a week doing that, all my stitches were very consistent and within a month, I was making granny squares.
@marigeobrien8 жыл бұрын
Also, while you're showing a lot of stitches because this is a tutorial, I would suggest new crocheters plan to make one or two projects with each stitch. Like a potholder with the single crochet (SC), a scarf with the half-double crochet (HDC), a simple place mat with the double crochet (DC) and maybe a baby blanket or lapghan with the triple crochet (TC). This will give a new crocheter the practice they need to become proficient enough to move on to more intricate patterns.

I never crochet like this. I was taught when I was a kid. I am now 39 years old and still crochet the same way I did when I was a kid. But I didn't learn this way before. My string is always loose but my projects what ever I do come out great. They only come out great when I count ever single stitch. I only know two stitches right now single and double Crochet. I always go to the first with single crochet. And I never go to the back I go to the front. Comes out good either way. This is just an awesome tutorial. Sorry if what I have said doesn't seem to portray that.

I received yarn and a set of crochet hooks from my son for Christmas, and so I wanted to learn. I tried out a couple of other videos, but they went too fast and I kept having to stop the video in order to catch up. This one,so far, has been perfect for me, as I need to see in detail how someone does each step, and shows exactly how they got there. Books don't show enough detail, and showing me the 'spine' has gone a long way to my understanding, as other videos don't show this method, they all show going under the 'v' of the chain. Very clear instructions, so I have subscribed and will be coming back for other tutorials. Thank you!

Another thing is I had no clue if I was going into the right stitch and half way through the row I forgot what I was doing. 🙈 I should be embarrassed to admit that.

UGH! I can't believe I was never taught to go behind the chain, it looks so much prettier and neater. Thank you! Great tutorial!

It's rarely taught... I always had a nasty beginning edge... this was the solution for a better looking beginning chain.

This video helped me so much❤️ I have been wanting to learn how to crochet for a long time now. I bought all the supplies but just couldn't figure it out. You explain things so well and you don't go to fast. Great video 👍🏻

Thank you. I have a little bit of experience and often get frustrated with my tension so I gave up. I am currently working on the beginning school blanket. I like how you showed to push the yarn onto the largest part of the hook. That has helped greatly. I can tell when I use the wrong area when making a double crochet.

Thank you for the info on the foundation Cain using the back loop… very helpful. Trying to change the way I hold the hook… that is not easy! Thank you.

OMG, I just stumbled onto this, and I'm going to see if I can pick up some pearls of wisdom for certain things in my work that I want to make look better. The "no show join" is a total nightmare for me, mostly because I'm too much of a perfectionist. I have enjoyed so many of your videos Mikey.
