Hey honies! Glad you like the yarn I'm using. It's from a company called Yarn & Colors. The gray is called Zen, a tubular nylon/cotton blend and it's color 096; the brown/orange is called Cheerful, a voluminous wool/acrylic blend, and it's color 026. You can find these yarns on Yarn And Colors website - www.yarnandcolors.com/

@inniyaalprabahar 3 года назад

A tip for beginners: Even though I am still a beginner my tip is don’t let other people tell you what is right and wrong. Choose what it is comfortable for you for example I was told I have to hold my hook like a pencil but the way I hold it makes me 10 times faster than holding it like a pencil! If you do something differently doesn’t mean it isn’t right!

@caitlynbecker3626 3 года назад

This! Also good to note that you don't have to hold every hook the same. For example if I'm using big yarn, meaning big hooks (looking at you Bernat Blanket Extra) I change my hook grip to accommodate. I usually do a modified pencil/chopstick hold, but when using extra large hooks I knife hold. It is ALL about what is comfortable for YOU.

I don't understand how anyone prefers pencil hold - it is so difficult!

The smooth yarn, the “training wheels”, the clear location description and why, the different stitches, how to read the stitches, why to rotate, and why to create a chain when flipping. Finally it makes sense! Thanks for remembering what was hard for you when you started-your empathy is appreciated and made this very usable.

@Lisa_Flowers 2 года назад

I did this whole thing and I'm really proud of myself! I definitely started again multiple times and practiced each individual stitch a ton, dropped a few stitches here and there, and had some issues with tension (tight at the beginning, more even as I went along), but I learned so much! Especially foundational things that I would have definitely missed if I jumped straight into patterns (which I kind of did, but came back to this to nail the basics). Learning to identify stitches by the v at the top was definitely the most useful take away for me, as I'm horrible at reading stitches and get so confused when things come out slightly wonky and I don't know why. Turns out I was putting hook into the wrong place half the time lol. I still need to get better at reading the back and front of stitches, but thank you so much for making this! I'll definitely be coming back to it over and over. You explained things so clearly and just watching how your hands moved was hugely helpful in itself.

@@JamiLeigh77 just mess around making chains and restarting until you're comfy, holding the yarn is super important. I found some beginner videos that helped me. The yarn comes in to your left pinky if right handed, wraps around once, then over the top of the hand and your pointer leads it with your left thumb. The right hand holds the tool with your pointer and thumb with the rest of the hand holding the thing you're working on. Something like that. Just mess around until you're comfy

I just started crocheting this week with a little help from my neighbor and mostly from you! Thank you so much for the slow tutorial! I bought a Woobles kit thanks to you so I can actually make stuff!

Hello love….I just had to say THANK YOU!!!! My great grandmother tried teaching me to crochet when I was a young girl and I couldn’t get it down and she also struggled because I’m left handed. I’ve always wanted to do this and I had a fire sparked to try again. I watched your video the very end of March and today I’ve got a little simple baby blanket for my niece and her baby #2. Can’t wait to continue learning from your videos. My great grandmother would be so incredibly proud of me. 🥰

@TheMargarita127 3 года назад

That moment when she counts the Vs in the stitch and you are somehow missing 6 lol. That said, so thankful that I can follow this in my own time and allow myself to walk away and start back. You have already answered some of the questions that I had about how to accurately count stitches and place stitch markers. SOOOO helpful and awesome. I am determined to stay on track so that I can be a proud member of the crochet along. Thank you for this content!

Thank you for this tutorial. After jumping from one beginner's tutorial to another video, yours is the best one for me. The pace in explaining, camera focus and your choice of yarn colour made it really easy to see the stitches. Also, I really like your training wheel tip🙏

@erikamatsumoto4535 5 месяцев назад

i have watched many "how to crochet" videos and this one was by far the most helpful! thank you for breaking each step down and really explaining everything at the VERY beginner level. i think you also have such a talent for teaching, and i'm so glad i found your videos!

@dianecarlson9229 Год назад

After several years of touch and go crocheting (just rote copy) I FINALLY know how to count my stitches, understand and identify the construction of each stitch, and how to consistently make each stitch uniform. I’ve watched many videos and yours is the most easily understood! You are an excellent teacher and I am now officially a huge fan! Thanks you soooo much! Keep calm and crochet on!

@ehcseg6860 Год назад

I already learned to crochet the hard way, but this video is great. I remember not knowing how to count and messing up Projekts. I bet the people who learn from you won’t have that problem. You are really a sunshine of a person. Thank you so much. you are so great at teaching.

@astralura 3 года назад

I've been crocheting for years and I still loved watching this. It gave me a new perspective on learning that I hadn't seen before. You're truly a gifted and experienced teacher. I'm really grateful for you sharing your knowledge and insight and I'm looking forward to using this to help others learn.

@valeriewestmoreland4010 11 месяцев назад

I have been crocheting for 40 year and after seeing you demo I figured out I was do double incorrectly. You see I learned from a right hander booklet and I'm left handed. So I guess I was doing the best I could at the time. I have just recently come across your videos and just love them. I have made blankets, rattles, dolls, and sweaters. Your tricks have helped me so much. My daughter is learning to crochet too. She has seen your videos and told me she is excited about making food. So thank you so much.

@gil5217 2 года назад

This was so helpful! I taught myself to knit almost 15 years ago but never could wrap my head around crochet. Now I have a lil swatch and a dozen Ravelry tabs open and a lot of excitement for something I'd given up on ever being able to do. Thanks for posting!

Wish I had had this video when I started learning crochet! Toni's instruction is so clear and paced well for a beginner. The photos are large and she explains each step thoroughly. Her technique is impeccable so you can be sure you are getting correct instruction.

@eviekleinwhittingham9237 2 года назад

Toni, I love how you SHOW and explain how and why to do the basic stitches, including how to hold the hook and the yarn. I do find the tip to use only one turning chain for half double crochet rows and double crochet rows very useful to produce a straight strong edge for seaming. You've made an excellent video for me to share with beginners. 😊

@Brice23 5 месяцев назад

I am a lefty too and I struggled to figure out which hand wanted to do which work.. I watched many videos and even got a book.. I did not do well, but then I found this video and I literally just did my first chain like you with the hook in the right hand. I put your video on .75 speed and I was able to understand your process. I can't thank you enough.. I think it is unusual for a middle aged man to suddenly pick up crocheting but I truly love it. Thank you for showing me the way.

@marilynrutz 5 месяцев назад

I’ve spent hours trying to get the single stitch (?) crochet right. Several RU-vids. I couldn’t ever get the edges right until I found you and your “training wheels !” Thank you!😊❤

@jenniferhuang2124 2 года назад

This is amazing. Thank you! I have been dabbling with crochet for years but never understood where a stitch begins and ends, how to count stitches, how to keep my tension even, etc. Your video is LIFE CHANGING.You break it down so simply. Really really excellent!

@Breezysimmons828 Месяц назад

Ive always wanted to learn to crochet & my grandma was going to teach me but sadly she passed before getting the chance. So im learning in honor of her and so i can hopefully pass this down to my daughters & grandchildren. With that being said, ive tried numerous videos and this is the best. I think ive watched this section about 5 times before successfully getting my 1st chain. I literally just picked up a needle and yarn to watch this video so im very new lol. And i am going to pause here to practice making my chain better. Thank you for being a great teacher & im looking forward to learning from you. P.S. I cant wait to learn the Tunisan method. 😃

@typhoidmary5061 3 месяца назад

This is absolutely fantastic. My mom taught me to crochet years back and I loved it. Taught myself to knit and then did both for a while. Got busy with school, work, and life and stopped crocheting. Wanted to pick it back up, but needed a refresher on some things and stumbled upon your channel. So glad I did as you are an excellent teacher. Thank you for this ❤

@JacobS13 Год назад

I just want to say a big thank you!! I have dyspraxia so learning new skills is always frustrating and difficult as I learn at a slower pace. Yours is the only tutorial that I have came across that is actually helping so far as you explain things slowly with a ton of description and information. Thank you!

@LALA-zm9xg 3 года назад

I'm loving this video! Nobody did training wheels in their videos. This will most definitely help me with my work from going slanted on both sides🤣🤣 Thank you Toni!!

@Rosebud2503 2 года назад

@timeenuf4200 2 месяца назад

I have gone through multiple beginner crochet videos and none are more clearly done than yours. I purchased a "anyone can do this" kit which was far from clear for a beginner in my opinion. I nearly gave up so I knew I had to find a great teacher to get me over the beginners fidgets. Your it! New subscriber. Thank you for sharing your time, talent, and inspiration with us. May you be blessed ten fold.

@ocsplayz 27 дней назад

Ma'am, I'm going to start by saying, that you were the first and only person to teach me this. I realized I was actually doing it wrong, which is why I was getting no-were. (😂)I was putting the thread in front instead of behind the hook. I'm 15 and I already know how to knit, I'm hoping I can finally perfect crochet!

@MegOtto4268 10 месяцев назад

@annekerrartstudio8534 Год назад

From one teacher to another, thank you so much for this most excellent video. I have not found any other video on RU-vid that has broken things down in such a clear and simple way. I am just starting to crochet having spent most of my working life teaching painting and drawing. I have just bought a hook and ball of yarn and I’m ready to go!!

@lesliea944 11 месяцев назад

BLESS YOU!!! I just received a kit I ordered and watched their online videos. I said sooooo many curse words trying to follow the instructions!!! Found you instead and now I get it!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

@kelleibabbles Месяц назад

I learned to hand crochet as a kid, but wanted to finally learn how to crochet, be able to actually make things… I’m 39 and it’s something I’ve just never had time for before now… I picked up some cheap yarn and a pack of needles, along with some yarn needles , and made some stitch markers I watched another popular RU-vidr yesterday, and although I was beginning to understand it, I had so many issues with tension! She had a video on tension, which still didn’t help me tbh. This morning i decided to try more videos by other creators, and im so glad I found this one!! The teaching style is amazing! We all learn differently, so maybe it’s just what I needed, but I’ve made so much progress in the past half hour correcting my tension issues! I’m still struggling as any newbie will, and I think I need to see other ways to hold yarn bc now that’s my highest struggle I think… but the tip about how to hold your work, and to pull the yarn down the needle, that has solved most of my tension issues alone!! I also struggled with the single crochet yesterday, I figured out that I was going through the holes wrong (I think) so I’m working on that right now. I know I’ll get it now and I’ll be able to move on to the next thing (which is also in this video but I’m not there quite yet). I would definitely recommend this video to anyone who is wanting to learn how to crochet! It’s by far the best one that I’ve come across, and I have watched a few, other than the one I was working with yesterday! Thank you so much for your patience in making these videos to help others learn!!

@christined4489 3 года назад

Thank you for this video, Toni! I've been crocheting for a little over 7 years now but decided to get a little refresher and am so glad I did! The way you only chain 1 for double crochet rows is intriguing to me and I like the look so much better than what a chain 3 gives you - I am definitely going to have to try that and not chaining before fastening off.
