How to Crochet Beginner Workshop

[@slowstitchingbeginningcroc9405]

As I'm viewing this video it is SEVEN YEARS OLD AND I HOPE YOU NEVER, EVER DELETE IT!!! I've been viewing a LOT of tutorials and this has truly been one of the BEST!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful instruction!!!

[@thepickledpixie9052]

I send this to everyone who expresses an interest or who are struggling to get started.

[@girevka]

Mikey is the GOAT for beginners. :)

[@DebraLavigne-nc6xf]

I agree 🎉

[@nsartain2877]

Thanks Mikey. Never too old to learn! Your method of holding the yarn has made my day. Has improved my tensioning 100 fold 💕💕💕💕💕💕. Forgot to say, I’m 80 and have crocheted since I was 9.

[@hypojo]

Finally! After years of weird shaped projects and thinking I would just NEVER be good enough to make anything decent... I have discovered your videos. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I love your calm demeanor and you are very thorough. I am understanding everything much better. THANK YOU

[@thedetails8338]

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.

[@FreakishSmilePA]

I love how you actually explain and show step-by-step how to do it! Other people just show them doing the knots and call it a day

[@Skydancer1000]

He is the best teacher I have seen on KZbin.

[@ellatoler4046]

Mikey, you are still The best! You taught me the basics several years back, but life happens and it is time to start again. I am glad you are still here to help the process along.

[@ashleelarsen5002]

Thank you friend!!

[@michellepreston-strout7678]

Yes! As a newbie to the world of crochet I had to undo the baby blanket I just completed 4 times until I had the edges straight! But I did it. But I’m going to bookmark this video because I need constant reminders of what each stitch is. So thank for your obvious awesomeness!!

[@marigeobrien]

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.

[@marigeobrien]

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.

[@schnauzermom6352]

Great tip! I'm just re-learning after years of not picking up a hook.

[@adickerson318]

Marige OBrien Thank you for the tips. I've been crocheting for a day and I do have a few chains made, and the awkwardness of my hands now is the biggest problem thanks to this wonder tutorial!!

[@shereentimmerman4164]

Marige OBrien can you recommend a cotton yarn in worsted weight to make dish towels?

[@chrochetfan7274]

Wow! yea, knew i choose a good channel to start learning years back

[@TheBjmask]

Hi Mikey! I would like you to know that I have successfully started teaching my granddaughters, 5 & 8 yrs old, to crochet. By watching your videos on some things I needed refreshers on, I learned how to teach them. THANK YOU MIKEY, for bringing us even closer together through your inspiration.

[@laurakie814]

This is the first beginners tutorial which I've watched, that is truly for us beginners!!! I was finally able to learn the steps for all the basic stitches. I will still need to practice a bunch, but I'm finally not overwhelmed with learning!! Thank you so much for this fabulous video.

[@albertocamilo1420]

i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me

[@wendypettifer1401]

Hoping to learn this it looks very clear

[@nicolearguin8245]

Agree! And my 100th time watching it and things finally clicking. I’m a knitter but was determined to learn to crotchet.

[@victoriashoupe3135]

i was crying last night because i couldn’t understand how to do the single crochet. & then my step mom recommended your videos & it has helped me so much. thank you!!

[@tiffanymae608]

I've been crocheting for about 6 years. Was taught by watching KZbin videos. I've watched many of your videos! But I skipped all the beginner stuff! And I've made my learning curve much to difficult on myself. I've picked up lots of nasty habits! These beginner videos are so great! Thank you for these so much! Now excuse me while I go back and try to unlearn some nasty habits 🤣

[@sharonwaddell7988]

I don't know I bother going to other sites to learn this skill. You give so much more information than the basics. Great teacher Mikey!

[@chrisarlington1792]

Hi Mikey! Gee I missed you. I've been crocheting 66 years and I am still inspired by you and your talent.

[@pandmic69]

I’m going to be a grandma soon and this just feels right I can’t wait to start 🥰😊

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Sometimes with hobbies you have to be in the right frame of mind and the stars need to align. Welcome to your new stitching journey.

[@AR-wj2tp]

The way you are explaining this and being thorough is so helpful compared to other videos! Thank you so much!! 🖤

[@kathisanders5770]

Excellent tutorial! The best and most thorough tutorial I've found.

[@lilythepurple]

It took me a few tries to get what was happening, but I think I've finally got it now :) thank you. 52 and never picked up a hook before!

[@debbiejones6142]

Thank you Mikey, This newbie loves how you explain how to crochet 💕

[@RamonaPugliese]

The key to learning crochet is the learning the Foundation of crochet. Mikey is the best teacher I have found~~~His work is close up so you can see the stitches and his explanation of all is perfect. I have crocheted for many years, way before any tutorials were available on anything except a book.

[@CreativeExpress87]

I learned from this video and I recommend it to every beginner!

[@an0ana]

32 and first time picking up a crochet hook for the first time. Best video tutorial I've found. Thank you so much!

[@pgosler1]

Best slip knot tutorial EVER.

[@eoinlee8030]

It's seriously not

[@eoinlee8030]

Doing a slip knot is so easy it shouldn't be over complicated

[@peaceforever1502]

Watched loads of videos for beginners. This is honestly the best of the entire lot. You are a born teacher. Thankyou!

[@amandapruiett6175]

Thank you so much Mikey!!! I have crocheted for many years, but my 9 year old daughter asked me to teach her.. I tried but she was getting so frustrated. I have used many of your other videos to learn how to make things. When I saw this video, I knew it would help.. Now she is happily sitting making a chain. You are an amazing teacher. You have a new fan, she is so excited because she saw you have all kinds of video to tech how to make lots of stuff.. Thank you so much for all you do..

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm so happy for your accomplishment and that I can be part of your stitching journey.

[@cyndimiller3569]

You are absolutely amazing. I learned how to crochet from your Happy Flower about 6-7 years ago. It took me 3 days to make it. 🤣 When I got better at it, it only look me less than an hour. My little cousin wants to learn to crochet, so this is the video I sent her because you're the best. I love the way you teach - your clear & patient instructions. I also love how you hold your hook and yarn. This is exactly how I hold mine also. I have been a crocheting machine, making beautiful, one-of-a-kind masterpieces. Bringing smiles to people's faces with something I made is a priceless, heartwarming feeling. I'm forever indebted. Thank you, Mikey. ❤

[@jubbins64]

I love the explanations you provide with the instructions. It’s easier for me to remember something if I have an understanding of what I’m doing and why. Thank you!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Glad it was helpful!

[@littlemissgamergal2586]

This is the best beginner tutorial on KZbin ❤ thank you so much !

[@K5AMJ]

Absolutely great tutorial! Slow when needed, explained thoroughly and normal "fast" pace to show the project. As a new crocheter, I thoroughly appreciated it! As a guy beginning to crochet, I am glad to find a video at a pace I could learn to!

[@marialiglesias1699]

Thank you MIkey for this video. I shared this video with my son who is a nurse and I told him to try crocheting to de-stress. I think you'll do a better job tutoring than I would. :-). God bless you and Dan. You've done so much for us.

[@cassandramaurer25]

Loved this! You taught me to crochet 4 hours ago, and I already have a beautiful 3×9 inch rectangle of double crochet going. I'll turn this into a doll blanket for my niece and then start on my first lap blanket for our local hospice (which is why I wanted to learn this). Thank you for your wonderfully instructive video! You have earned yourself a new subscriber :)

[@uhavemooface]

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.

[@ChadForquer]

It’s great to see a guy in a crafting video. Definitely not common. I have cross stitched most of my life and have only found a few guys who do the same. It both relaxes me and the counting helps sooth my OCD. I have been interested in crochet for a while for the same reason and finally decided to give it a shot. Your video will definitely help me get the best experience possible to see if I will enjoy it.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Yeah, I grew up crafting and it's been part of my life's journey. I do stand out like a sore thumb in the yarn world but I'm okay with that because it brings me personal joy.

[@sherenasmith6621]

I know that this old and you probably don't check comments anymore but I simply had to thank you! My mum taught me lefty crochet growing up and we would make all sorts of things. Well she is gone now and for some reason crochet is what I thought of but couldn't remember it at all. I am now practicing he stitches you've taught her and weeping with joy bc I know she would be happy and glad that I'm reviving Our Thing ❤️ 😊 Thanks for refitting me that.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Comments come in as they are made. Thanks for your kinda words and sharing your story with me! Michael

[@agdt2004]

Love how you explain things...entertaining and with humor. Tutorials should not be boring :)

[@merrymacmurphy]

You are the best teacher. I like how you repeat things and do it slowly, and explain the "why" of what you are doing. This is the best I have ever understood how to crochet. thank you so very much!

[@bLikeJesusJohn]

THANKYOU FOR KEEPING ALL 3 TUTORIALS FOR BEGINNERS ON CROCHET VERY APPRECIATED. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ONE 11 YEARS AGO, 9 YEARS AGO, AND 4 YEARS AGO!!! THANKYOU FOR ALL THREE!!! PLEASE KEEP THEM UP!!! WONDERFUL!!!

[@wendylees1170]

I got a crocheting book from the library, but I wanted to scream it was so hard, but now i will have something to do at church in the morning. The best video i have found so far.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

So happy to know this worked for you.

[@lisadearing5960]

I can not follow a written pattern AT ALL! When I've tried, I felt like I was looking at an algebra problem, makes my head hurt! KZbin has been a godsend and I've learned a lot from Mikey. Good luck!

[@mythicaltarot]

books didn't work for me either..it was tutorials like this that helped

[@charlieandzoelawsonshawn2241]

I started crochet about 3 weeks ago as a new empty nester. I wish I had started with your videos first. Excellent tutorial! Easy to follow. I was told to look for your tutorial on crocheting in the round. I want to learn amigyrumi and bags etc. I’m having the most trouble with that and learning an “easy” granny square. Thank you for your excellent instruction! Will be recommending you to everyone looking to learn or expand on crochet skills.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thank you for your support. We have basics in stitches but many of the beginner and easy level patterns may be achievable for you. Having crochet in your hands may settle your mind as well. I find it's therapy.

[@showtime591]

You're the best teacher on crochet so far.your voice is played back,comforting and informative.wow.feels like I'm right there next to you

[@douglasradowick508]

Mikey, I am 58 years young! Crocheting I was 10 years old (officially) leaned at 5 by watching my grama for HOURS at a stretch of time. I sent to my sister(60 years old) who doesn't know how-YET- to do it! I'm a lefty, and, I crochet left handedly(left to right). O try to help keep the art of crochet in the forefront of craft-work. Doug😵🤓

[@nancybryant4325]

I’ve been wanting to learn crochet for a long time. This is the simplest and clearest teaching I have found. Thank you so much.

[@kathyann8974]

I have always loved your crochet lessons. I learned how to crochet seven years ago from your tutorials. Since then I crochet every chance I get. I still want to make an Afghan for my family, I will learn to do that from you. Thanks again and Merry Christmas 🎄😀

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thank you fir being a part of our community. Maybe one day you will try an Afghan for your family.

[@MzdivaT86]

This is one of the best tutorials I've seen. You literally explain everything from needles to yarn. I want to learn to crochet, and is looking forward to going to the store, and buying my supplies. So glad I watched this video before I actually went to the store. I would of been clueless on what kind of needles to get. I am so looking forward to watching more videos from you when I get needle, and yarn. I am so excited!!! #NewHobby

[@kalyasaify]

wow this is by far the best video! you explain stuff the way my brain needs it. brilliant!

[@roxanneb2246]

Thanks Mikey! 💕 where were you 10yrs ago LOL self taught from diagrams in books way back when. I think I would have continued with crochet more consistently if your tutorials and fun approach was around. I will for sure use this video (and The Crochet Crowd) when friends want to learn.

[@Animecomplex1]

Wow, it's my first time trying crochet. Your video really helped me start, so thankful 🙏 😊

[@desireenicastro673]

You just saved me!!! I've been making a blanket and my edges keep going out further than they should🥺 so they start to V out! Watching you tutorial for the double crochet has just shown me that I've been putting my stitch in the same hole as the first stich of the turning chain! OMG!! You were so clear in your explanation & your video is close enough for me to actually see what you are doing!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I am down loading this video for future reference & teaching!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Excellent. I'm glad the video could assist you in a small way. The first stitch for new crocheters is a battle. You aren't alone.

[@hanna9977]

I WATCHED 5 OTHER VIDEOS AND DID NOT UNDERSTAND BUT THIS MADE IT A LOT MORE SIMPLE AND I JUST STARTED LIKE 30 MINUTES AGO THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

THanks for your trust Hanna. Please enjoy the stitching journey.

[@CynthiaLK]

I've been holding the yarn in my left hand incorrectly for years, but it worked for me, so I never tried to change, once I found out it was wrong. Thanks Mikey for telling me that's just fine. :)

[@theresemitch]

Hello I'm new to crochet and I didn't think I could do it I was just about to give up when I saw all these lessons and now with the help of all these so helpful videos I'm really learning how to crochet its great fun and it's not that hard to do so anyone who wants to do it don't give up as I nearly did

[@lilz88778]

thanks a lot Mikey, your tutorial has been great! I'm a slow learner so it honestly took me 2 hours to go through this first video..but I finished :) Thanks for your lesson!

[@imaniscott1712]

Hi Mikey!! I told you I have been researching and learning! This video is the best hands down. Thanks!!❤

[@frostyria]

This has to be the BEST tutorial for beginners out there! Thank you :) I was taught to hold my project with the hand holding the hook - which feels wrong and, in time, becomes painful and harmful. Thank you for the thorough explanation :)

[@francesbickerstaff9856]

What a great teacher! I really enjoyed this. My winter project is to learn to crochet, as I already know how to knit. I'm so glad I found this site.

[@barbara3646]

Great instruction. I'm 84 and learned to crochet when I was 11/12. I hold my yarn and hook like you do. Just one difference, my working yarn goes once around my pinky because it's too loose otherwise. I think it's because of the shape of my hand/fingers. Holding the hook like a knife is the only comfortable way for me. I don't know how other holders can crochet. It looks so awkward. Thanks for the reinforcement. ❤

[@dozzi53]

Thank you for your tutorial…. You are my Tutorial guru from now on. I can crotchet but I have trouble with reading and understanding abbreviations. I also knit have done for over 50yrs.

[@Mel-op1tp]

This is by far the best video I have ever watched on how to crochet. You addressed all the things I found difficult to understand from the other videos I've watched. Thank you so much!

[@cathharr08]

I love you sweetie. Idk if you remember me but you and Dan were so sweet to me on a cruise 2 years ago to the Caribbean. I was the woman who had difficulty walking to the boat on our group catamaran cruise. I’ll be attending the 2 week 2023 cruise and am eager to see you again. I’m bringing my sister with me this time. ❤️

[@tannertanner8769]

Mikey and Crochet Crowd in general: I enjoy your tutorials very much and though I have been doing crochet for years I can learn something new from you every day. I just read (quick skim) about your troubles with your Facebook page. I think you have done the right thing. It is unfortunate but true that social media is more trouble than it is worth, though you would love to enjoy fellowship with the people you are helping. Best wishes, and thank you for all you do.

[@jaynetavis1526]

Thank you Mikey. Im watching you do crocheting and I've been doing it wrong for years. My granny taught me when I was young, then I started crocheting and just found out I've been doing it wrong cuz my ends of the rows were funky looking and not straight. Thankbyou for showing me the right way and also I was putting it in the chain knot at the begging...WRONG... Now I have to redo a baby blanket. Also start another blanket for the same baby

[@JulieB328]

My 35 year old son called to say that my 5 year old granddaughter wants to "prochet like Booma." He's decided to learn so he can also teach her. He said he watched a few other videos but they were confusing or just irritating. I sent him your link and voila, he's well on his way!

[@Avocat44]

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!

[@beyondlimits697]

Oh fabulous this is the video for me. LoL! Yay thank you Mikey. Yup... post viewing opinions... 🧐 brilliant you made it look so easy. I've been struggling with splitting yarn as was attempting to make a pouch to keep a towel cloth in to have on my bike. 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. But you outlined it so concisely that if it wasn't almost 4am I would be having another go. I certainly will tomorrow. 😊

[@nicolearguin8245]

Thank you!!! I’m a knitter but trying to learn crotchet. I’ve given up many times but determined this time to get it. This video was PERFECT!

[@leilamanti7344]

Hi Mikey! I was so very happy to find this tutorial..... THANK YOU!! I learned how to crochet & knit when I was about 5 yrs old when I was living on Terceira, Azores,Portugal. Our landlord's daughters taught me. Unfortunately, we moved back to the USA soon afterward & I lost all that wonderful teaching. I have "inherited" a bunch of yarn from my mom & grandma (only my Grandma B. knitted..... not my mom, hahahahaha). I got one of those plastic looms at Michaels craft stores & that kinda spurred me to start doing something with the yarn. Now I would like to some pretty REAL crochet!! I look forward to learning more!!

Mikey, this video popped up on You Tube so I decided to work through it just for fun. I have been holding my yarn wrong which has given me tension issues. So for me the practice was all about holding the yarn correctly. My little finger is now all warn out. LOL It never hurts to revisit the basics.

[@laqaunza]

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!

Great video, I'm a beginner and I appreciate all the tips, much appreciated!

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.
