I've had to leave an amigurumi Facebook group because they kept getting so upset that my stitches were not x's and nobody would tell me how to make it "right" and they were so mean about it! I really appreciate your making this video so I can see what they were talking about.
I love this so much, as a person who has learned to crochet from videos on RU-vid I lack technical knowledge. Often the “whys” of crocheting are not included in tutorials, so when I make mistakes or notice my end result doesn’t match I don’t know how to correct it.
Originally I just had this video on in the background while eating breakfast. You have such a good teaching voice and pacing though that both my husband and I stopped, grabbed some yarn, and started practicing along. 😂 Were both pretty beginner and this was super helpful
I love this video. I recently discovered that yu/yu works best for a tight amigurumi look, but find that combining yu/yo is faster with a similar tight look. Thank you for going through all the options 💜
Ok I love your video❤❤ I am leaning crochet and understanding this has been challenging, but your explanations were awesome. The speed and clarity on each stich was appreciated ans the comparison between all the types makes it clear to understand. More I watch the video more I like it. Thank you so much for it.
This is a goldmine of a video. I'm new to amigurumi and I'm so thankful for four whole different side by side comparisons and step by steps. I think I'm going to try changing my method of using my tension hand to maneuver the yarn instead of turning my hook to grab it. Gonna share this with my friends. Thank you so much. Hopefully these changes will reduce the likelihood of straining my arms and hands too ❤
Thanks really interesting video. Like you, I crochet with yu/yo method which feels the most comfortable for me and makes stitches that look great for Amigurumi I'm making.
this is the most far clearest video on yt to show different stitches! Thanks for sharing! Do you recommend cotton yarn for beginners? I have tried with velvety chenille and it is so messy. I am still struggling lol
I use YU/YO for amigurumi, I agreed with you that it’s easier to do than YU/YU. Now I’m crocheting tapestry crochet by using Yu/Yo method, I wondered if YU/YU would make the finished work better than YU/ YO.
Loved that you showed all 4 variations of the sc! No for a completely different subject… what color and brand nail polish are you wearing? I love the iridescence ❤ thanks 😊
Thank you!! And my nails are gel (+ no wipe top coat) with a holo chrome powder buffed in! The powder I use is from this brand called Born Pretty and I get it from eBay. Hope this helps! 😁
Am I the only one that finds yarn under to be incredibly awkward and difficult to do? Every time I've tried it I've struggled so much I just give up and do yarn over. I feel like there must be something I'm missing.
It felt weird for me when I switched initially too! It does take some getting used to, and you have to kind of build up that muscle memory before it starts to feel “normal”. Hope this helps!
