Single Crochet Stitch - Beginner Course: Lesson #6

[@lrose5522]

Counting stitches is something that is seriously messing me up learning how to crochet, so the fact that you were very clear on more than just the first stitch helped me a lot. I get the first one find but then i get confused after that, so this was a very good vid for it. Thank you 11 years later for being so clear about it!!!

[@CraftyGurl101]

I’m late too 💀

[@faithledbetter4382]

There are easier guides than this one. I've been looking at KZbin vids for long time learning new ways. This one not so easy.

[@shelbssfx6301]

Hey! That messes me up a lot too, something that has helped me is they make things that almost look like safety pins so you can mark where your actual first and last stitch in a row is. I know sometimes for me I can skip the very last stitch because it can become a little hard to see. You can also place them every 10, 15, etc. There’s also apps to help you keep up with your chains and stitches which I’m going to try soon!

ITS BEEN 12 YEARS NOW💀💀

[@phenomenon24601]

My ten-year-old daughter had no idea how to do the single crochet and when she watched your video on how to do it, she got it right away. Now she's making a blanket for herself and just now starting a scarf for her sister. Thank you so much Crochet Guru! Your a miracle

[@saltywench]

Bless you. After a life time of crochet I had a mini stroke and forgot how to do all my stiches. Your calm voice and very clear instructions helped me tremendously to remember how to do everything. I wasn't sure anyone would bother making a video like this, so I am grateful I found you!

[@annettealviar9470]

Thank you for slowly crocheting and explaining what a single chrochet is. Everyone else does it so fast and hard to see. Thanks again.

[@funzoneofsrikaneesh8647]

Thank you so much maam. I am 12 years old and just started to crochet since yesterday. I learnt to make chains yesterday but couldn’t figure out how to single crochet. I watched many videos but couldn’t figure it out, then I found your video. I decided to watch and follow your instructions and before I even knew it I had completed my single crochet. Thank you so much once again.

[@CrochetGuru]

Whatever you do don't get discouraged... It really takes a lot of patience to master crochet especially in the beginning. Also don't worry about which strand in the chain you place your hook into for now ... Just experiment with it and after you get the feel for it you will get better!

[@itzemma7377]

Wow thank you

[@secundrabeasley855]

Thank You! I needed this pinned post.

[@crochetcoffeerenee8230]

Why does it always look different? Single crochet is frustrating, go into stitch, y/o, go through, 2 loops on top, go through first loop, go back through, y/0 then go back through 2? I’ve watched many tutorials and have noticed, most people do this different ways, it’s confusing. Some just insert hook, y/o go back through and then go through 2. Which way is it? Go through one loop first then back up and y/o go through 2 or just go through 2?

[@itzemma7377]

@@crochetcoffeerenee8230 at first, it always looks very different (and wonky) and it is very frustrating, but after doing it a lot of times it just sticks to you and it won’t seem frustrating or confusing, and learning single crocheting is very hard.

[@secundrabeasley855]

Hi Crochet Renee. I am in your shoes. I have looked at too many videos, books, written patterns and they all left me frustrated and crying. I am going to walk you through the Crochet Guru’s technique. Her technique is the one I grasped immediately. Chain 13. The third chain away from your hook is where we will start. (When you progress, follow the instructions in the pattern.) Take your crochet needle and insert into the back of the chain loop. Your yarn strand is vertical to your crochet hook

[@contentmeow]

I managed to do the 1st row single crochet as a complete beginner - thanks to you!!! Botched the second row and will start over. But, delighted with the results 😀

[@sharonseliskar6224]

Absolutely the best teacher! I have knitted for years, never crocheted so this is a treat to learn from you and your thoroughness. I am really pleased, thank you!

[@sandradle756]

Great lesson. Thank you for going slow and for repeating the stitch several times. I've noticed some teachers go too fast and/or show how a stitch is done only once. That doesn't work for me as a total beginner! Your method of teaching works wonderfully for me. Even your voice is pleasant and comforting. Learning takes patience. You have it!!!!

[@surianick4565]

You are really a Guru because you're teaching the beginners. Thank you.

[@kayleightunstall7444]

I've crocheted before, I've made a scarf, a shawl, about six coasters and about ten koozies. I'm trying another scarf and I wanted a quick refresh and this video is amazing. I've never seen another one that explained the three strands of the chain. I'm not sure I've ever crocheted right before now lol. Thank you so much!

[@jmontoya84]

I literally took me all afternoon (with breaks in between) and 3 tries just to do the first row and get all 29 single crochets! Whew!!

[@aprilsmith7781]

Hey all that practice will help tremendously when you start projects! Trust me I started too soon on big projects and had a mess so Im doing swatched and pracfcing basic stitches

[@kaylagaye3736]

Hi! I’m slightly confused. I did 30 chains but when I do it single chain stitch, it became 17...

[@afifeekayaleh3091]

I the explanation is very clear I would like to know how to do double crochet thank you

[@nex_hexed_nex7107]

@@kaylagaye3736 same mine because 17, I think I might have skipped some of them 😭

[@janetjones6658]

If you don't get it, don't forget about it. I can't believe I got it. I was trying it again yesterday night, did not get it. Here I am now, I got it. Thanks for sharing. So useful can wait to finish a beautiful scarf project with this. Haaaaaaaa 😀😃😁🤣😂.

I am so glad you got it!! Keep up the great work!

[@livingintheforest3963]

Oh my God you’re wonderful you saved me tonight. I was just forgetting the single because I’ve been doing the double in my class and thankfully to your video I am back on track. I will keep subscribed to you.

[@wcarolinea]

Your instructions are terrific, I especially appreciate how you show the wrong way to do it (at the first of the row) so that we can understand the right way. I learned a bit of crochet in school but I forgot a lot of it, your KZbin vids are really helping me to pick it up again.

[@julieannharris3478]

and i speak for we all would not have a better tutor if we tried brilliant easy to understand takes her time no rushing just fab ⭐️

[@DieRooms]

I was originally taught how to crochet by a lady i use to work a few years ago...so fast ward I have a 2 yr old son and I want to crochet a blanket for him....after buying all my materials I realized I've forgotten what I learned...so I came on her and found this video.....THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. ..you are an awesome teacher! God Bless!

[@hazelprada4540]

OMG out of all of the Millions a videos this one is the absolute best. Thank you so very much for teaching me how to crochet I have wanted to learn the since I was a little girl I remember seeing my grandmother do this so I guess I could say it takes me back in time thank you so much

The best I've seen for learning AND a refresher course! I've shared the link with my friend who is learning and me, I needed a refresher since I haven't really crocheted in a long time.

[@CrochetGuru]

Hi Alejandra...It does depend on the pattern and on the designer. It is typical to crochet into one chain loop only when you crochet into the chain, but 2 strands are fine and it does give the project a different look!

[@CrochetGuru]

Hi Stacie...This is a very normal thing when you first start crocheting. I would try holding your yarn a little tighter...do this by concentrating on the grip of your yarn. Sometimes holding your hands closer together can help tighten your work as well. If this doesn't help try using a smaller hook for a while maybe an H or G hook would help. Just remember this is totally normal for beginners and the more you practice the better your stitches will start to look.
