[@annew2126]

Im so happy i found your channel, im 12 and really wanna crochet and this video helped me so much

[@onlinelearning23]

I'm 12 too and I'm learning crochet for the first time

[@titus4166]

Just want to say thank you so much for making this master class for free, I’m currently doing the 14 day. Especially, for someone like me who doesn’t have a lot of money, but really want to learn. Though, I would’ve paid it because I really want to learn and enjoy learning and watching your videos. Thank you for sharing the love of crochet 🧶 ❤

[@JulieNick28]

I am so happy to have found this community! I found Elise Rose first and she recommended your channel. You are a gem!! I’ll be chaining all night tonight :).

[@kiarahurson9901]

I DID THE CHain thing I'm very happy I love these classes I plan to make alot of tiny ducks and put them around my grandmas house

[@adrienne3910]

Good instruction. Excellent!

[@lindiolbrycht4195]

Thank you so much for making these lessons! It is my goal to make an amigurumi for my daughter and I was quite intimidated on how to start. Your instructions are so straightforward and easy to follow for a beginner like myself.

[@lizzymiku7759]

I actually did it! I learned it!🥹

[@Anaaaa980]

😮

[@preitydaang8238]

Finally i started getting this... You are the best teacher here. Saw around 7/8 vids of different tubers . Finally m at right place.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

I'm so glad I've been able to help. Let me know if you have any questions along the way!

[@ddianedavis7447]

Great class and book! Want to get my tension right and one day read apattern like a pro!! You are a saver! Love the camera work i could see everything so well!! Ty again for teaching these classes

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re enjoying everything so far. We’ll talk about reading patterns in 3 more days! I hope they help. Don’t hesitate to ask questions if something isn’t clear 😊

[@Mtda1sy]

Really encouraged by your classes

[@Muhammadjamil-u7b]

Your way of teaching crochet is amazing...I watched your video last night and next morng I made a chain

[@wendymorriss2]

OMG, all this time prior to starting the master class, I thought the way I hold/tension my yarn was totally wrong...but I hold mine the same way you do! That's a relief, because I just can't hold it any other way, and believe me I have tried!

[@malinirmala6866]

Thank you so much your video is very nice

[@cheshiremercury7061]

Looking forward to future classes. Thanks, Sigoni! 💜

[@FathimaazraKashi]

Finally , Im very happy Thank u so much for making this master class for free.. this is really helpful to me ❤

[@AnnSnow_0]

my chain game needs work, but this was helpful!

[@patriciawaring]

Great class. Can’t wait for the others. Although I’ve been crocheting for years, it hasn’t been consistent until last year when I made my son a Mosaic blanket. Sometimes edges give me problems, so I’m hoping to pick up some suggestions on how to avoid that. Also, crocheting in the round. Can’t seem to get the hang of it. Thank you! Love, from the Great State of Oklahoma, USA 🤍

[@SigoniMacaroni]

I have a feeling the last half of the class is going to be a huge hit! That's where we'll talk all about getting straight edges and crocheting in the round. I hope I'm able to teach you a lot! Thanks for being here every morning Patricia! ❤️

[@MDGlamSam]

My daughter and I tried to do this with a book… It took us way too long on our first try with a book. Found your videos and my daughter and I realllyyyy made progress and don’t feel stressed doing the chain now! Great videos!

[@BonnieOverman-vw5kt]

Just starting your classes,really help full so excited to learn.ty

[@nanch9180]

You are such a good teacher

[@Mtda1sy]

So awesome. So fun❤

[@mymeloday]

What yarn are you using in this video? Thanks so much, your tutorials are great!

[@faridanaz2431]

Great very well explained

[@Zoom_1012]

Your chain stitches look perfect. Mine are a hot mess.🔥

[@catherinepaalvast2420]

How long of a 'tail' do you usually leave when creating your slip knot? Looking forward to tomorrow's class!

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Good question! I like to leave about a 5 inch tail when I'm starting a project, when I'm adding a new color or new ball of yarn, and at the end of a project. That way you have a good amount of yarn to thread your tapestry needle when you go to weave in your ends.

[@cherylmorgan6388]

Thank you so much I’m learning,!

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Yay! So happy to hear that

[@sussantalebi5799]

3rd lesson❣️

[@roxanneuduku7249]

Hello, may I just mention that your crochet masterclass is good. But I have that the slip stitch has been mentioned, as it is the easiest technique to do. Is there an available tutorial on how to learn the slip stitch?

[@elh7149]

What yarn are you using in this video?

[@lisacunningham6072]

Thank you for the lesson, I am not sure where to find the link for abbreviations from the craft council?

[@SigoniMacaroni]

You can find them here www.craftyarncouncil.com/standards/crochet-abbreviations

[@lisacunningham6072]

@@SigoniMacaroni Thank you very much. Life has been hectic so I am behind on the lessons I am a self taught crocheter and look forward to learning from your informative videos. I purchased the basket pattern from you a while back and made it but I definitely had trouble crocheting in the round. Looking forward to the future videos.

[@arfeenmidilaj]

Is it ok to use thin yarn

[@Singh__anonymous]

It's 4th August, 2024 ,,3 years later .. I know to make chain by my mom , just 2 days later .. I'll comment everyday, I'll do this again n again for 1 months, hope I'll learn to do crochet. I'm 20 yrs old , frm India ❤

I am learning chain stitch from you and practicing along chain but don't know how to end it please tell me how to finish the end of chain thanks

[@susanreynolds3519]

Hi Sigoni, I am new to crochet but I am finding it difficult to keep my pointy finger up to keep the tension. Does anyone have the same problem? Thaks

[@preitydaang8238]

ye Susan i am also facing same prob

[@laurajohnstone8089]

How do I know if I’m doing it right and ready to move onto the next lesson?

[@kenoshiaclark2135]

Why is my yarn moving when I move up

[@SunnydaBunnyO_O]

I know! It’s so annoying I really want an answer

[@innabanai7905]

Pictures hard to understand.. videos is the best way

[@SigoniMacaroni]

That's true a lot of the time, yes! But we all learn differently so sometimes pictures can be more helpful in seeing exactly where something goes or how something is supposed to look if the video moves to quickly

[@traceychivers1988]

I'm in the uk

[@michellejosephine928]

Hi ..when I try to do a chain, when when I keep the slip knot a little loose and try to pull it through to make the chain...my yarn turns and does not stay so I can pull it through ...and when I try tightening the slip knot to give it grip cuz the yarn turning thing happens, the pull through does not happen...cuz it's tight

[@HAWWANARIKODAN]

I bought a yarn and i think its packaging said it crochrting yarn but its very fuzzy and my crochet hook is only 2.0

[@Pathakta]

I just started today and I used 4.5mm hook but and half an hour I changed it to 3.5 and it's soo good I did the chain part but I'm struggling for 2nd row

[@braelynmarshall2420]

Hi! So I’m just starting out with crocheting and stumbled upon your video. I did the slip knot and made it to the chain stitch. HOWEVER, I’m not sure if it’s my hook or what. But I cannot get my hook to latch onto the yarn and pull through. Help!!!

[@isabellarees7354]

I had this too but I realised I wasnt holding the bottom with my thumb and ring finger, check you are doing that like the video

[@Your-local-artist35]

What size crochet hook should a beginner start with? Thanks

[@SigoniMacaroni]

First find the yarn you’re going to practice with and use the hook size that’s recommended on the label. If you haven’t seen Lesson 1, I talk about this more in that video

[@lucash8234]

What are we "pulling through"?

[@kevinervin3924]

Do we have to use tension None of them work for me

[@katherinerichardson2273]

See, I actually had a hard time with the Slipknot by watching the video and then I was like I know how to make a Slipknot so I just made a Slipknot away. I know how to do one and it was fine. And then it took a few tries. But it looks like I just had to look away from the video and play with it. And I got it

[@ThatRat.]

Hi what happens when the yarn falls of the hook before it loops over

[@fatimaalzaabi1522]

Hi umm I was learning then I realized that my slipknot is going to the tail of the yarn and not on the working side can you tell me what I did wrong?

[@susanalberti3601]

where do I find the ebook?

[@zasharadouglas770]

When I try to pull through the slip knot gets tighter to where I can’t pull the hook through. What am I doing wrong?

[@coeurlregina128]

Same problem here. Did you figure it out?

[@bevmaloney7110]

Love everything so far. The picture of the 1st slip knot did not match what you said. Wish you would review that a little slower. Didn't see how the tail end got across to the other hand or how the working end got around the finger on the right hand before crossing the tail end. 😳

OMG IT LOOKS LIKE A BRAID is there a lesson on how to add more colors in the future???

[@monnysillva7038]

[@Anaaaa980]

Help the yarn keeps coming is the needle 😢

[@IcecubeKinnie]

Wdym Whenever I pull it the yarn just falls off😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@scinnamontsys]

Crocheting doesn't seem to be for me. After about three chain stitches, my hook catches on threads from the loop. More tension and the hook doesn't fit through the loop at all. Less tension and I get lost in the big loops. I've been at this a couple days, watched a number of Tutorials. It's just too frustrating. So far all I've done is throw out ruined yarn. I don't think crocheting is going to be a hobby for me.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

If you don't want to try anymore, that's completely fine. But just by understanding that too tight of tension means the hook won't fit through the loop and that too loose of tension makes your chains more loose proves that you're learning. Again, every person learning to crochet has been where you are now. If you don't have the patience to give it a chance, then yes maybe you should just give up. But if you try again, you might want to try a different yarn or type of hook. Depending on the yarn you have, it can split easier. If you're using a hook with a pointy tip, it will split your yarn easier. If you are, try a hook that's more rounded and a yarn that doesn't split. I highly recommend Bernat Super Value. If you quit, I understand. But if you give it another chance, try these tips and join our Facebook group to get some additional help.

[@Anaaaa980]

The chain is sooo hard 😭

[@syedaanamquadriquadri7747]

Its so hard

[@LisaWagner-m9j]

Clearly made a poor choice of yarn. Was at Walmart and got wt 4 worsted. Stiff and sticky. More like string. I’ll remember next time to skip the “worst”ed and find a softer type.

[@Martuse2085s]

OMG 3 videos of just talking - waste of time.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

😂 if it’s not for you then that’s okay 👌🏼

[@karencoufos3713]

@@SigoniMacaroni Every video is worth watching over and over for me. Some people need the classes for more than just learning but to help with meditation too.
