How to Crochet for Absolute Beginners: Part 1

[@mayalasfour5688]

Dear Daisy, Thank you so much. I did my first 2 rows of crochet while watching this video. My mom tried to teach me so many times and all I could do is the chain at the beginning.. my mom has sadly passed away. I wish she could see me doing this right now. I hope both of us made her smile in heaven. Thank you x

[@hrhprincessgenievaduchessr6236]

Hello everyone! Just wanted to jump in here to encourage everyone and let everyone know when I first began crocheting I couldn't even read instructions! But now I can make anything! And it really does get easier once you get the hang of it, and please don't be too hard on yourselves! As far as the stitches go if you start out too tightly get a bigger hook and if you start out too Loosely use a smaller hook! It's really easy Once you understand, it gets easier as you go along and yes it is tough to grasp in the beginning, because your brain is trying to learn something new LOL! However once you patiently continue to do it and don't give up and practice a little more each day, and just relax it will be fun. so, make it fun it! And think of how wonderful it is that you're learning something new!

[@bloosomsuperstaraj2915]

[@m0L3ify]

Thanks, I think the hook that came with my yarn is too small. It's a 4. It's so hard to get the yarn through the loops, the hook keeps getting stuck. Will have to wait until my hook set arrives next week. Then I can use a much bigger one to practice correctly. As it is now, the loops are so tiny, I can barely get the hook through and I keep losing my yarn. Pretty sure this isn't how it's supposed to go!

[@katrinarobin4034]

A helpful little hint from me for absolute beginners ( which I still consider myself lol)- As your initial chains tend to curl up as you work, I find it handy to iron them with a little craft iron. Makes it easier to see each chain and work into the correct side on the next row.

Hi! To anyone reading this who is really frustrated and want to quit ,I was there once. It may seem impossible at first but let me tell you, it really isn’t! You just need some patience and time and boom you’re an expert. As someone with neither any patience or time, I decided to pick up crochet as a hobby as I thought it was quite cool you could just make whatever you wanted. At first, I watched so many KZbin tutorials and was close to giving up. Despite putting away crochet many times, I always had hope that i could learn it. After about 3 weeks or so, something clicked. I went on KZbin and decided I was ready to make my first bunny. Yea sure, it was confusing and a big step up from just doing squares. However, I just kept trying and watching the video and I figured it out! It wasn’t great.. but it was definitely something. I was really proud and my family were so surprised that my hobby may have been my hidden talent. From then on, I became obsessed. I crocheted day and night and it was becoming a daily routine. I really enjoyed it. After a few months of crocheting, some people saw my work and asked if I sold it. I contemplated quite abit but decided to start my own business. I was so shocked by the amount of people who were willing to buy my stuff. I got many positive feedbacks and compliments. To whoever still reading this, please don’t give up on crochet. It can absolutely change your life. Don’t forget, I was like you once on KZbin rage quitting. I started with single crochet uneven squares to making bags, toys, cardigans, headbands. I learnt everything off of KZbin. Did I mention I started when I was 13? Im 15 now and crochet has changed my life. Shameless plug but I’m currently crocheting dog collars and using the money to donate to a pet organisation called hope dog rescue. It’s ok if you can’t purchase anything but a follow will help me tremendously. Instagram @bone_appetitt. Thank you to the person who read this long winded comment. I hope you continue your journey with crochet! Don’t ever give up!

[@sabrina.2407]

You should make an Etsy account since you're only 15!! The possibilities are endless!! That's not a joke!!! Thanks for the inspiration. I'll keep trying!

[@ericabelcher8760]

[@peppapeeg]

Thanks!! I was dying at first too. But slowly, I began to actually be able to do something. I started a couple days ago. (well I actually started a couple months ago but I quit because I was so impatient) I can make squares super fast, and this comment has inspired me to attempt to make an bunny.

[@MissCherryBomb69]

I read the whole comment. Im 41 and learning now. I sit at my job all night doing nothing so i figured id learn. Its been a couple days. My father goes to the senior center and I asked him if I could go with him on sewing day and learn by watching someone. She showed me a few things and im guessing along the way. My problem is getting the hook into the next hole. So im here... Thats awesome, ill add you on IG.

[@abbye3813]

I have a tip for anyone struggling that really helped me. Practice just the chain stitch for a long time, I did it for like an hour and a half while watching a show. Do the chain until you get your tension right and get used to holding the yarn, then you can do single crochet easily!! I also made a chain with 5 different methods of holding the yarn and compared them to see which method worked the best for me.

[@holay_molay_7]

ok tysm i’m getting so frustrated trying to keep up with the video and do this at the same time

For those complaining, pls don’t give up. I also find it difficult at first, I tried many times n almost cry n give up but I didn’t. I kept watching more Videos n I prayed to God n am picking up now

[@ashleycrash8838]

For anyone having a hard time (like I was) keeping your rows the same amount of chains and symmetrical, hold the yarn really loose and do very little tension so the loops are bigger. It makes it so much easier to learn that way! Even using a hook that’s a little bit bigger too. I finally am getting the hang of it now

Did you try other tutorials? Did you try using a light color yarn you can see well? I just completed this and while I did fine, it's only because I already knew how years ago. She does something kind of funny when she breaks down the yarn over or hooking the yarn that makes it seems much more complicated. My hook doesn't face the same direction and change as many directions and I hook the yarn just fine.

[@pinkzaism]

I don't crochet yet, but i am a kandi kid and it made me realize how much i like making things. I already knew i liked making things like drawings and stories, but ive started to realize just how much i love making physical things too. With kandi you can make stuff like bags, clothes, etc and its gotten me interested in crochet. Crochet seems more difficult, but crocheting things seems a lot more convenient than kandi especially when it comes to stuff like clothes and bags since kandi is literally just beads lol. Crocheting seems like something that could make you very independent- i mean, you can make your own clothes from home! This video seems very helpful and i cant wait to watch it again when i finally get my hands on some yarn

[@myoldaccount2553]

Yes same! I love making kandi, animal masks and yarn tails. Though most of my creations have to do with my interest in zoology and mammals. (Btw the whole reason i wanna learn to crochet is so i can make animal plushies LOL)

I just wanted to say that I am an 82 year old man who took up crotchet many many years ago as a holiday pastime, by following a Patons booklet called ‘first steps in crochet’, belonging to my mother. I found it much easier and quicker than knitting. My favourite was to crochet baby matinee coats . But then life took over and I let it slide. Now I’m back since I rashly promised my grown up granddaughter a pair of mittens for Christmas. So I’m having to relearn the skills. Thankfully there are lots of very clear books and KZbin videos like this one to help. My reason for writing is to encourage more men to take up this hobby. Once you’ve mastered the process it is very relaxing and I haven’t had anyone mock me for doing it - mind you I am a sturdy specimen.

[@Celeste_bowe]

If you like crocheting baby clothes you should get in touch with your local hospital. Wehn premature babies are born they need warm clothes so some hospitals accept donations of hats, cardigans and booties. I've found them to be a good way to keep up my skills without anything going to waste

This is quite difficult to do, your not stupid. Do you think Van Gogh learned to paint overnight? No! It took years of practice to get that good. The trick is to try and try again. If you get frustrated, leave for ten minutes. Do something that makes you happy, or calm. Like meditating, listening to music, watching a lighthearted or funny video. Then come back, and try again

[@Alicia-wq2fs]

It's normal not to get a skill right away. You should really just practice making chains first. For as long as it takes to get the motion down pat of getting the hook through and a keeping a good tension. Then move on to other stitches.

So far I can’t find what it’s called, or if it’s an official stitch, but I can *finally* finish it and it all started here 🤍 Basically the stitch was like a double crochet, you get three loops on your hook, but instead of pulling through 2 and then 2 again, you pull through all 3. Don’t know if that makes sense lmao, thank y’all for all your support Update! It’s called a half double crochet 🤍

I haven't touched a crochet hook in almost 50 years, and even back then I only did berets, because I gave up on creating a straight line, and just did increasing circles until I had the width I desired, then decreased until it would fit my head. It was fun, easy, but not what I wanted to do. My crochet tutor of the time always went too fast and never really explained things clearly. In this one video you have elucidated the biggest mystery that haunted my early attempts - I was missing that extra chain at the end!!!!!

BIG football player Rosie Greer started knitting decades ago and showed off his skill on a television talk show. My mom (bless her memory) was of German heritage and she said that when she was a child knitting was considered a man's activity among the old Germans. Some cultural "norms" are rather silly, aren't they?

I am a hands-on learner for the first part. The visual comes next, then the audible for me. A lady taught us, she came around and showed us, then gave us one assignment each week, and we had to make a sample for that week. I cannot learn crochet fast, part of it is just doing it over and over to get nice, even stitches. Just go slow, and enjoy the process. Knitting is another story, I always either get twisted stitches or something else…I think dropped ones. So I gave up on that.
