How to Crochet a Curly Cue: Beginner Friendly Tutorial 

Years ago when I was a little girl, my Aunt crocheted these, but she called them Ding-a-lings. She made my sister and I every color imaginable. She didn't have any girls, only boys. So she enjoyed making these for us. Now I make them for the little girls on my block. I just wanted to share with you what I've known these to be. This is a great tutorial !

I experimented and did 30 ch + 3 ch. And used half double crochet instead of double crochet cuz i wanted it to be long and thin. Im satisfied with the result. Thank you for the tutorial

I have been Crocheting for over 30 years now, but I never made, or even seen a Curly Cue before. So, thank you! =)

3:00 when it starts. Very simply explained! Very helpful!!

Thank you for this tutorial. I used to make them into hair ribbons back in the 1970’s and couldn’t remember how. Brings back sweet memories of pigtails in high school.

Thank you for this video, Brittany. It's the best I've seen so far, slow and to the point. I'm trying to teach myself how to crochet. I make dolls and I want to make some of them with hair made out of curlicues.

Watching in February 2019. This remains one of my favorites! I use these as cat toys, so it remains one of my cat's favorites too! Thank you!!!

So easy to follow, and right into the instructions, no endless yak before. Thank you very much.

Yay! I didn't even know how to do double crochetes until now, and now I know how to do two extra things!

Amazing! You are a great teacher. You made it easy to learn. Thank you.

This is probably the cutest and easiest idea ever! Thanks!

Thank you, I just tried making the curly cue, and it came out great. Your video was easy to follow.

I’m going to put these on my luggage 🧳 so I can find my suitcases real quick at the airport.Thank you !

I am making my first amigurumi. It's going to be a jellyfish, but they just used chains for the tentacles and I wanted curly's. I was scared to find out how hard they would be, but then I found your video. I can not believe that's all they are!! You have made me very happy. :D

I'm a first time crocheter, this video was awesome. You are a wonderful teacher. Very easy to understand. I was able to make these on my first try. So kudos to you.😀 Thank you.

Thank you so much you did a great job and I really appreciate how you took the time to slow down for us who are new to this project. Great instructor! Tfs!

This was the video I was looking. I'm going to put the curly cues on some hats I'm making for my great-grand-daughter. She's 2 yrs. old and I'm sure she'll love them.

I have never successfully made a these before. Thank you for making this tutorial!!

Thank You they turned out perfect this time!

I am trying to understand who are those people who thumbs down vidz like #whoraisedyou #keepingswipping. Thanks Bri the video

Omg thanks I think that is one of the best beginner friendly I finally completed my jellyfish ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank Gods for Brittany! 🤩 Now I making unicorn, and curly cue is perfect for his hair! 🦄✨

Thank-you! Clearly I am more visual when it comes to patterns than I care to admit because I understood this video way better.

Thank you for the tutorial! It helped me a lot! Great job explaining through the whole process.

Fantastic... I am a novice at crochet, but I did this ...amazing

Only 89 k likes this deseeves more! This is the best tutorial ever I dont think anyone can explain it better

Your the best love it when it’s simple and to the point. Great teacher ! 👍🏾

Nice tutorial. I've never made anything by Crocheting and with your video I got the Curly Cue made! Thank you for a great tutorial that works really for a person with no skill level at all in Crocheting anything. :)

Thank you so much this helped with me learning how to make a little bookworm for my friend ✨🙏

Great tutorial. Thank you! Three of these babies made a super cute embellishment to a tea cosy! Sweet! :))

Thank you very much.Great easy-to-understand tutorial!

thank you so much now I know how to make it:) your video is awsome!!!

Using this to make the mane for my Pinkie Pie hood. Can't wait to finish it! Thanks for the tutorial!

Really great, easy video thank you. Going to add these curly embellishments to my baby sets x

Thank you ever so much, that was precisely what I was looking for!

Thank you! So many of my projects will be greatly improved!

I enjoyed your video so much. I am home bound so I started crocheting. You make it is beginner friendly. I make all time cause made hat.

Great tutorial once I figured out the stitches used and that they were worked three times into the same stitch before moving on. This is my first crochet project so after going and watching how to make the 3 basic stitches, I came back here and made this. Came out great! Thank you! Not bad for my first time ever! I do suggest perhaps a slow down and showing more specifically where the different parts of the stitches are for working the same stitch 3 times and then picking up the next stitch (just because this is for beginners) but it was great anyway. Nice close-up of the work!

Awesome! I'm making dolls and I've been searching for a fun way to do the hair

Great tutorial. Very clear 👍 Thank you so much.

I thought these were going to be hard but I can’t believe how easy they are!

this helped so much thankyou

Thank you for this! I love this video ever so much, as it was informational and detailed! It’ll surely help me because I am a beginner and understood easily! I’m making a crochet unicorn stuffed animal for my sibling, and am delighted at how it is turning out! Thank goodness I found your channel to help me! 🧶 👍 ✨

Thank you so much for slowing this down! I can do it now

Thank you for this. I am a new crocheter & want to try a little easy peasy pumpkin hat with the green tendrils & you explain this sooo well. I will def be doing this in a day or so. I see I'm a tad late for this party haha. Thanx for sharing :D

Great video! Thanks. I’ve been wanting to make these!

wow, it really worked.i've tried this numerous time with other tutorials and i threw my hands up in frustration. thank you sooo much. eagerly awaiting my next tutorial. you make it sooo easy. thank you

Great video. So easy to understand. Thank you.

Thank you! I am working on some cat toys for a local rescue and it's essentially a ball with a curly cue at the end. My curl wasn't forming correctly. Your video helped me realize that a double crochet gives it better structure (I was doing singles) and that you have to help form the curl a bit as well. I couldn't figure out why mine weren't automatically a nice curl.

Thanks for your video, simply what I was looking for to make the hair for my crotchet dolls

It´s ridiculously easy, thank you so much.

Easy to follow, thank you!!

Thanks so much. Looks easy. I going to make some for a hat.

I've been trying so hard to make good curls, you can wrap them around each other for candy canes and wreaths (ornaments) and my curls always come out terrible. Whenever I crochet into the chain I always crochet under the second loop but after watching this I tried crocheting under just the top loop and my curls are nice and tight and springy. Thanks so much.

I love the curly cue!

I found this video extremely helpful and easy to follow. I am making the curly cue to be a cactus Thank you

Thanks so much for making a easy to follow video.

Thank you I used my curly cue for my crocheted pumpkin

Thank you for this great and simple tutorial

This was super helpful, thank you!!

Easy . and beautiful thanks .

Brilliant!! Thank you

When I was in elementary school I use to see these made as Hair ties for pony tails..

I tried to watch all the other vedios to learn how to do a spiral crochet but I didn't get them but yours is the only one that help me learn how to do it .

Thank you.

THANK YOU it was so hard to do it in other vids but this is easy

Great to follow tutorial

Thank you for this video 😊

THANKS SO MUCH I AM NEW AT THIS.

This was a great tutorial ! I made my first crochet project after watching this video. Wish I could post the picture. I made a cat toy with these instructions and I never crocheted before !

Love from India, nice video 😍

that was so easy thank you so much

Thanks for sharing this Video it was really easy for me and I am a beginner !!! :-)

My first time making these and my spider calls for these for legs. Freaking out i finally stumbled onto this one!!! Thank god for you

Thankyou, multumesc frumos.

Great job ty i love it

My aunt made some of these in all colors for me and my sisters as hair bows. I am going to attempt to make some for my granddaughter.

Thank you great tutorial very easy to do

Omg that was so helpful thank you sooo much

So nice...sure I will try dear

Thank you for the demestration

Thanks a lot ...very nice and simple

Thanks for making it so easy. Going to try adding beads.

This is a great video. Easy to follow. I want to make a curlicue at least two feet long, then hot glue to a 1 feet dowel rod (5/8) and make a fabulous cat toy snake. My cat loves hers so much and playing with it helps us spend quality time together. I want to make more to give to my cat lady friends. I think the multi-colored yarn makes the best looking ones.

Whoa. Thank you!

Your nails are gorgeous!

super instructional!

My hair is too short to fit around dry curlers...so I'm fixinto wrap it tightly around these curlycues you taught me to make and maybe have curly hair I wish I could Thank youuuu!!!

Thank you!

I used to make these, but couldn’t remember how. Thank you for sharing it! My granddaughter’s trying out for cheerleader on Friday. Their school’s colors are red & white with black trim. If I made these red & white I’d trim the outer part with shiny black bugle beads so all the cheerleaders have some for their hair. Do y’all think teenagers would wear them for cheerleading? Like wrapped around and dangling from a pony tail?

explaned it perfectly

That yarn is so cute. It reminds me of a jelly candy my grandma used to give us when we were kids.

Beautiful

Thank You!

I love this. So simple but it would work so well. I am making jelly fish and this should work nicely thank you!

Thank you very clear

I think these are gonna make a good fidget toy for me 😁 Very excited to try it 😆 Update: I just made it and I love it!!😍 I can't stop playing with it!! And I did it with this really fuzzy yarn so it feels really nice too😁

it would be funny to make several curls for a judge wig for someone who studies law

thank you💕💕

Thanks!
