Is it better to learn to crochet with a bigger hook and thicker yarn? I am using a 5.5mm hook and plain ol' DK yarn. I get the concept but my crochet looks like a mess :(

@starletshuffle - You probably just need to practice and even out your tension. You also might want to try a bigger hook with a DK weight yarn.

Im having such a hard time fitting the needle into the two stitches once I get to the 3rd row. I keep trying to knit loosely but its not working. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

[theknitwitch]

@PugsNotHugs - Your stitches are just too tight! :)

[oaney]

does it matter which way you turn it when you reach the end of the row? clockwise or counter clockwise?

[theknitwitch]

@oaney Nah - either way works.

Thank you so much, after spending an hour in front of a book trying to figure out how this single crochet worked, your video made everything clear in a couple of seconds!

You have saved me from pitching my work across the room again. As you can tell, I have little to no patience. Thank you so much, your tutorial was perfectly clear and I picked it up right away!! I'm 13 and I started teaching myself yesterday, but all I had accomplished was several yards of chains. I have completed a small, solid colored potholder, but my grandma was very impressed!! I showed her this video and she said that you have lots of skill!! Keep it up, you rock :)

you saved me!!! the book I was using to teach me wasn't overly clear, I feel like they should have had a few more pictures of the steps, but your video cleared it up for me. thank you SO much!!

I also got that crochet book from Walmart with the DVD and couldn't figure it out either. This video was very helpful. Now I'm not incredibly frustrated anymore :-)

you explination is great and i love the quality of the video

Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I bought a "teach yourself" crochet kit from Walmart. The book was a little confusing when it came to "turn your work" it made it seem like you went from holding your work in your right hand to holding it in your left. I tried the DVD that came with it, but that contradicted how to make the stitches and it didn't even focus on her hands or work. Frustrated I turned to YouTube & found your video. Thanks to your video, I finally understand it! Thank you SO much!!

Thank you SO much for such a clear demonstration! I got confused and frustrated by watching other videos where the teachers either do it too fast for me to follow or do it way too slow with unnecessary explanations that made me forgot what I was doing. I guess it does take some talent to be a good teacher,

[brownies4always]

thank you so much for an understandable video, i must have watched ten different how to crochet youtube videos, read lots of tutorials and still didnt get it, but now i do! Thank you :)
