In this video, we are going to discuss different tips that go into making crochet pieces that you will actually wear. A lot besides following a pattern tutorial, and actually making the piece, goes into crocheting high-quality pieces. These are some things I learned from making my own clothes.

It's so wonderful to see young people crocheting and proudly wearing their creations! I learned to knit and crochet in my childhood. When I was a teenager, I knitted and crocheted my own clothes. Growing up in post-Soviet Ukraine, it was cheaper to buy yarn and make a sweater or top than to buy a finished garment. As a teenager, I mostly knitted because my knitted garments could pass for "store bought" ones, but crocheted ones were so obviously "hand-made". I got bullied and made fun of for my crocheted pieces of clothes. Now, many years later, I absolutely love crocheting and I am proud of the garments I make. But they are definitely very expansive! I choose natural fibers such as cotton, silk, wool, etc and those yarns are not cheap.

oh so sorry you got bullied for wearing your pieces I bet they were amazing!

@bellscreate Месяц назад

that is a beautiful story, i’m sorry you had to go through that, people are so mean, but they were wrong i’m sure your crochet pieces were beautiful! my nana taught me how to crochet when I was 10 and I haven’t put down the hook since

I’m making a swearshirt right now for my boyfriend using finger weight yarn cause I wanted it to be lightweight but this got me ready to take it apart and use weight 4 🤣

@CheyaneAgain Месяц назад

These are really helpful tips. Especially the guidance on hooks and type 4 yarn. Some of the tips seem focused on acrylic, which is understandable, as it’s the most common kind. However, some tips on choosing your yarn type (cotton, bamboo, wool, etc.) based on the seasons or the clothing type would be great!

thank you for letting me know, i’ll have to add that!😊😊😊

Love how you dont need to look at what you are doing......id have a mess!!.. I wear what i make...and my belly (52 now) is the biggest part...we have limited yarn available in Australia, i now buy from o/s...and the price inc shipping is comparable but the quality so much better

@SirSealandLister 21 день назад

No offense but isn’t Australia/New Zealand full of beautiful fluffy sheep ripe for a sheering? How do you not have the best yarn selection there is?

When I steam and block, I add fabric softener to the water to help soften the fabric.

that’s a great tip, i’ll have to use that next time😊

@Userusinutube 5 дней назад

This is such a great video !! I would have loved to see it when I started to crochet ! It truly took me 3 years of actively trying to make good clothes to really figure it out but you got the good bases in this video !!!! I would also suggest any crocheter to write down what you’re doing, which type of yarn you’re using, how many skeins it took etc on a notebook cause omg it’s the worst when you cannot remember how you did something 😭

A tip for blocking, you don't need a whole blocking board with pegs, cardboard and push pins work fine.

@alyssarae20 Месяц назад

thank you so much, this is so helpful. i'm a very impatient person so i often take shortcuts with stitching/weaving in ends, so i've never really gotten into crocheting my own clothing. i'm going to give it another try now :)

@bellscreate Месяц назад

you got this! sometimes you can even try to crochet right over them if possible through out the project, but nonetheless it’s impossible to avoid😭 you’ll get used it after a while😊

@alocintsruh Месяц назад

@sonder2164 Месяц назад

I made my granddaughter a dress with the linked double crochet. It's not a stretchy stitch but the bonus to it is it's not very see through. Highly recommend, turned out great.

@bellscreate Месяц назад

that is awesome, i always wanted to make a dress, will definitely have to try! 😊

@liseverschuere7610 12 дней назад

Just a little tip on not wanting to sew the ends after finishing a piece. If its for a sweater or top or so, with enough confidence you can definitely leave the ends out and just pretend that its part of the piece, like idk its a designer piece, it’s supposed to be this way, another way to make it look more like it is supposed to be that way is to make it symmetrical, add here or there an extra strand just to make it symmetrical and it’ll look like it really was supposed to be that way, but really the biggest part of being able to pull it off with the strands out (or not) is confidence. If you’re confident enough to just walk around in the piece you made and tell everyone around you with your body language that it looks exactly the way you wanted it, it’s way easier to actually pull it off and people will just take that as this is indeed the way it needs to be, it all just comes down to your confidence basically. Hope this can help someone

I’m new to crochet so this is so useful. Thanks! It would be great if you could do a video showing different fabrics and how they look on a top or dress (etc) and/or which fabrics are best for example summer or winter and examples of how they look after when the project is done! I’m looking for a video like this and I can’t find it anywhere!

@ananya-nissi 4 дня назад

for the blocking part: do you think blocking along the way as you crochet would save time/be helpful to envision the piece at the end of the process?

@escaalopette1129 Месяц назад

my problem is that my projects just gets wider and wider idk if it's because I use acrylic yarn or cause i am bad at crochetting

@minjjis Месяц назад

that means you're creating extra stitches as you crochet. i have the same issue and counting my stitches every 5 rows really helps me!

@friendswithfae Месяц назад

Hi darling! The comment above might be right. As a beginner I had a similar problem of my rows getting longer as I added them. A helpful tip for me was adding a stitch marker into my chain 1 (or 2 or 3 depending on what stitch you are using) then when I turned my work and made my way back to the end I knew where to insert my hook to finish the row and start the next. I hope that helps. I know it can be discouraging to pull out rows of work

@@escaalopette1129it may also be your tension! if you're getting looser tension then the stitches will get bigger therefore taper out, so try keep an eye on that too
