The biggest negative I can think of when knitting is, if you drop a stitch it can run the entire length of the fabric. Whereas in crochet if you drop a stitch, you pick it back up and go. I didn't know knitting is lighter so thank you for that tip, but I knew there's not many crochet patterns for garments. I don't wear sweaters of any kind so this was news to me.
Crochet is faster, thicker, and uses more yarn. I learned to knit first but I grew to love crochet because it challenge me more and was more difficult to me to learn, giving me more satisfaction to do projects :) Thanks for this video I'm a self taught crocheter and I would love to see more videos!
So stupid question: I want to make a blanket, leggings for myself and socks. I am looking for warmth. Super warmth! When I hear you say “thicker” it makes me gravitate towards crochet. But can’t I get the same type of result for knitting too? I know 0 about either right now just watching a few different RUclips videos about both and staying open minded
I learned to crochet first when I was a kid. I learned how to knit as an adult. I would like to re-learn to crochet as I love the detail you can get. Great video.
+Monashee Thank you so much! I love the versatility of doing both. If I get tired of one, I can do the other. This is a great place to refresh your crochet skills. Let me know how I can help. 😊
I love crocheting! I wish I could learn to knit; sadly I have a physical disability that makes that impossible (believe me, I've tried learning before and I just wasn't able to manipulate the needles and yarn like I needed to). I learned about the tunisian stitch recently and fell in love with it. There's just something about working an entire row at once that's really satisfying; plus I only have to double-check the stitch count once per row! :) Thanks for the vid!
Funny how that happens. It's so hard to tell someone which to learn first because out brains are so different. I'm so glad you found the one that works for you! :)
When I was little I always wanted to knit (idk why?) But I love the method of it and all until I discovered crocheting and fell in love with it as well, now that I'm a college student who's stressed out I just ordered a crocheting hook and found my yarn and knitting needles in my closet so now I'm glad to rejoin my love for this 😚
I am an advanced knitter and also like to crochet. I find baby toys are much better crocheted. Also have done white roses for a wedding flower arrangement in crochet. I enjoy both but perhaps prefer knitting since I do more of that than crocheting. But when I get tired of knitting I find it very enjoyable to crochet. Made a mermaid afghan for 2 of my grand children in crochet and that was a lot of fun. I guess I should mention that I teach knitting/crocheting weekly at our local library.
I learned to knit as a child, crochet as an adult. I struggle with crochet and find it more difficult than knitting but probably 30 years of experience makes the difference between the two
4:57 I’m on a very tight budget (6x6 foot blanket) and needed to know which skill use more or less yarn per square inch when using the same yarn. I think you’ve answered my question, I got the impression that knitting could be less. Thank you.
I have a general learning disability and adhd, so that made it difficult for me to learn either of these, but I would love to learn, and I love to use my hands. I'm thinking RUclips might work as I can slow the speed and pause if need be, but to listen I usually speed it wwy up haha!
I have ADHD as well and picked up crocheting and it surprisingly helps me! Because I can just sit there watching something else or thinking of things while just crocheting away! I used Bella Cocos videos here and Hooked by Robin on RUclips they are wonderful teachers that take it very very slow and show every detail! Good luck to you 😊
This was very informative, thank you! Other comparisons talk about the creation process but don’t really compare the results of the labor, so this was extra helpful!
I started knitting first, knitted a simple scarf when I was in primary school but I didn’t continue on with the hobby..then I discovered crochet and for some reason, I prefer it. I’ve whipped up coasters, easy tops, hat and even crocheted a cardigan which was my first big project. I feel like crochet is easier to pick up.. maybe someday I’ll try to pick up knitting again :)
I have so much respect for knitters. My Mum, Grandma and Nannie are/were knitters but I failed to learn so many times I decided to teach myself to crochet and fell in love! I do slightly disagree with something you mentioned about the crafts being best suited to particular projects. It's still the case for many things but crochet designers are incredibly innovative and creating beautifully delicate garments with lots of drape so I think this is becoming less of a factor 😃
@@alouise3557 dense fabric is very stiff. Crochet stitches tend to be more dense than knitted stitches and so conventional wisdom states that crocheted fabric has no “drape”. Drape is when stitches move easily against each other, the fibres are relaxed and open - like a lace shawl, floppy and flowing. :)
I enjoyed your video. I learned at eleven to crochet and knit by my Grandmother. I can't wait until you have a video on knitting, I would like to learn again from the start, and also with crocheting. Can't Wait. Thank you, Dina
Here are some tips if you have something made out of yarn and want to know if it's knit or crochet: Knitting is mainly made up of little "v" shapes. Some stitch patterns also include "bumps" (formed when you combine knit and purl stitches). Crochet stitches often look like little towers or bundles of yarn. Knitted pieces, even lace, tend to look more solid bcs, as the video said, all the stitches are worked in rows. Crochet can be a lot more free-form since you only work one stitch at a time, so if there are areas with branch-offs, rope-like elements (chains), or more complex lace patterns, it is probably crochet. Bump-and-v versus bundles/towers will usually tell you immediately, though.
I like to croche as a hobby and I'm wanting to learn to knit because it's seems super Interesting and cool to me! I tried using chopsticks since I don't have any needles but I gave up and tried pencils instead, but I just decided to just order some knitting needles, so I am just gonna wait for them arrive!! I'm so excited their gonna arrive in 4 days
I deffinetly prefer crochet! Ive tried both as a beginner but chose to continue with crocheting, and i would now consider myself intermediate. For me crocheting is alot simpler and by now i Can create pretty mutch create anything in crochet. Both wearables and objects.
Not sure how this ended up on my YT suggestions, but as an ex-sailor (USN), the difference that I see is that you can create a set of knitting needles out of 2 chopsticks and a crochet tool with a old toothbrush and a small file. There are some hollow knitting needles that some people buy for use as "fids" when splicing rope... Maybe that is how the YT suggestion came up for me...
Thank you for sharing. I've been wanting to learn one or other. I might to learn to knit since I already came across knitting needles at the pantry store. 👍
I learned to knit when my 7 year old son was yearning to learn. "Yarning" to learn, maybe!! I learned so that I could help and teach him. I still have the scarf he independently knit for me when be was 8... Now he's 17 and just wants to buy cool clothes and hang out with his friends. How sad... He grew out of knitting .. but I found a new hobby! 😂
I started out knitting, i like it, but now i've not knitted for some time. I first thought crochet was more difficult than knitting. But now i think i actually prefer crochet, just one needle, now problem dropping a stitch.
As a totally absolutely beginner in anything like this, crochet seems a bit more forgiving, since you go knotting your way up the line, so if you don't have the coordination to maintain everything in place, stuff just don't fall apart. Am I right?
I do enjoy both but most of my projects are crocheted because of what you said. However, I think a knitted project, such as a sweater, is a bit lighter while a crochet sweater can be very heavy.
I taught myself to crochet and I find it’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Gaining the muscle memory to hold everything definitely was the hardest part, but the more you practice, the easier it gets! It is also very easy to go back if you make a mistake - I recommend counting your stitches as you go, and if you are crocheting in the round, definitely use a stitch marker (I like to use a piece of scrap yarn or even the tail of the project). This will save you a lot of headache if you need to unravel your work to a certain point. Good luck!
Thank you so much this video is so much helpful and I wanted to learn either one or the other and now that I've watched the video I think I'm going to learn how to crochet
What about if it's a bigger piece? With crochet, you just have to know how many stitches there are and do each individually. But if I'm making a larger item with knitting (like an oversized sweater), would I need a set of huge knitting needles? Bc as far as I know, you do it in front/back/sleeves, and... yeah lol I have no idea
I like to crochet doilies and small bookmarks, but I LOVE to knit almost anything else. I especially like lace and intricate embossed patterns. I am hooked.
I’m considering picking up knitting or crocheting a blanket during the upcoming cold months. I’m a complete beginner - never touched the tools of the trade before. That said, which method is more beginner-friendly?
Try knitting a scarf. I've recently learned how to knit and have just finished my first snood and hat. The patterns are very simple and easy to learn and depending of how often you knit a day you may finish it in about a month or less.
Hii!! I am a beginner, so I never knit or crochet in my life, i would honestly need to buy the equipment but what would you recommend? Knitting or crochet. Also which is easier for a beginner because I really inspired to crochet! Thank you!
Can you block acrylic yarn like from Bernat? I am starting a scarf and two corners keep curling as I stitch. I am using only single crochet stitches. I always loose stitches when I try knitting so I've kind of giving up learning, but as of 2020 I am curious about trying again. So maybe this year I will learn both.
I learned to knit at the age of 10. I only learned some very basics of crochet as a kid. As an Adult I must say that I prefer knitting. I usually just crochet afghans.
Crochet'd products feel harsh to me (because of how sensitive my skin is to tactile input). It feels lumpy, hard, bumpy and knotted. Whereas knitted "fabric" with especially SS stitch and soft baby yarn is my favourite. Typical/average knit yarns feel too scratchy to my hands when I knit and it can be a teeth-grinding process, but working with soft baby type yarns are an absolute pleasure. I have many of these little crochet'd doilies and things in the house that my late mom made and I haven't the heart to get rid of them, but on the other hand I can't touch them, lol. :)
@Juhani139 I know ur comment is old but, it is exactly how I needed it explained for me to know the difference as I suffer the same. My skin is extremely hyper sensitive, (I have nerve issues 😩). Thank you very much!😊 Now let’s see if I can actually do this w/ my carpal tunnel 😳
Make a mistake in crochet, you have to undo back to it to correct the mistake. In knitting you can drop the stitches above the mistake and reknit up correcting the error. In some patterns and often in lacework some people use a lifeline. An easily removable ength of yarn woven in while knitting. Crochet uses more yarn I find.
Here’s the BIGGEST difference between knitting and crocheting. You can knit anything using a knitting machine, but you can never crochet with a machine. Anything that is crocheted was made by hand, no doubt about that. Although there are knitting machines that can make very complex designs that will trick you into thinking it is a crocheted item, machines will never be able to replicate even the simplest crocheted design. My sister in law keeps trying to knit different things and is always disappointed that if she makes a mistake there is a huge risk in undoing the work. I’ve crocheted hundreds of garments and blankets and all sorts of things and I’m never bored with the process. Crocheting can be done by anyone with a bit of practice. At the same time, you never cease to learn new stitches and combinations of stitches, and then, when you think you know it all you discover Irish Crochet, and Romanian crochet, and free form crochet… and suddenly you realize you have to start learning it all again because of the intricacies of each crochet style.
A question: can you recommend us yarn's brands??? Because I've used some of them and the fabric itchies me and I would like to know some inallergic or something
How long does is takes for knitting and crochet for beginner to learn. Are they hard to learn??? How long Will it take to knit a sweater or crochet a sweater???? please reply thank you
I teach beginning Crochet and beginning knitting in 2 lessons totaling 4 hours. Most people pick it up within that time and can successfully make simple projects. A sweater takes many hours to make and the total time varies from person to person. Start with small projects before you try a sweater.
@@ForeverBlissCrochet cool, how much money for a lesson that you would take??? I wonder if you live in my state, cause I'm interesting in knitting and crochet. I wish that I could learn online follow your videos or other knitting and crochet videos, but I think I am not able to do that by myself LoL, I think I need to have someone sit next to me and I can learn all of these, because knitting and crochet are my favorite.............
I am in Nebraska and teach regularly. You can also check for local yarn stores, knitting guilds, or crochet guilds in your area. They would teach you as well.
@@ForeverBlissCrochet Last year, I went to London, I saw my friend made many knitting and crochet clothes like sweater, and winter hat for her nephew, and she made so preaty.......... LoL now I started interested in it now.................
people say crochet is easier but i find knitting easier, i just cant for the life of me crochet and i would love to learn it but yea knitting way easier to me
I don’t knit or crochet. However, it looks like crochet is bigger , fuzzier and more “holey” - is crocheting any good for sweaters and what not? I only ask because the knitting looks tighter
I had one man ask me to teach him how to crochet with a needle. I told him I didn't know how due to the fact that he probably didn't fully understand the difference between knit/needles and crochet/hook. I still get that question on the city bus: "what are yoi crocheting?" when I'm sitting there with knitting needles!
Knitting has WAY more stiches other than knit and purl: K2tog,k3tog,p2tog,slip,yo and way more. But i must admit that knitting and purling are the main stiches.
@@ForeverBlissCrochet I have a question, in knitting and crochet, how many stitches are they, do I have to remember all the stiches and memorize in my head forever???? Because, there are stiches in knitting and crochet right, I have to know how many stiches in knitting and crochet, if we have to memorize all, isn't that is hard??? Are there any tips??? I mean when we do by hand, not machine stiches.............
Knitting has 2 basic stitches (knit and purl). Stitch patterns are some combination of those 2 stitches. Crochet has at least 6 stitches (slip stitch, chain stitch, single Crochet, half double Crochet, double Crochet, treble Crochet). Again, stitch patterns are going to be combinations of those stitches. Not all stitches are used in the same pattern. You learn them one at a time. Yes, you can remember them all. You’d be surprised at all that you can remember.

Ehm... there are a lot of crochet patterns for garments. The possibilities for both techniques are practically endless

Anything that is crocheted was made by hand, no doubt about that. Although there are knitting machines that can make very complex designs that will trick you into thinking it is a crocheted item, machines will never be able to replicate even the simplest crocheted design. My sister in law keeps trying to knit different things and is always disappointed that if she makes a mistake there is a huge risk in undoing the work. I’ve crocheted hundreds of garments and blankets and all sorts of things and I’m never bored with the process. Crocheting can be done by anyone with a bit of practice. At the same time, you never cease to learn new stitches and combinations of stitches, and then, when you think you know it all you discover Irish Crochet, and Romanian crochet, and free form crochet… and suddenly you realize you have to start learning it all again because of the intricacies of each crochet style.
I love it. Thank you
Very helpful video!! Thank you!!
A question: can you recommend us yarn's brands??? Because I've used some of them and the fabric itchies me and I would like to know some inallergic or something
I Crochet but I'm learning how to knit
Thank you!
Helpful video, seriously.
How long does is takes for knitting and crochet for beginner to learn. Are they hard to learn??? How long Will it take to knit a sweater or crochet a sweater???? please reply thank you
I teach beginning Crochet and beginning knitting in 2 lessons totaling 4 hours. Most people pick it up within that time and can successfully make simple projects. A sweater takes many hours to make and the total time varies from person to person. Start with small projects before you try a sweater.
@@ForeverBlissCrochet cool, how much money for a lesson that you would take??? I wonder if you live in my state, cause I'm interesting in knitting and crochet. I wish that I could learn online follow your videos or other knitting and crochet videos, but I think I am not able to do that by myself LoL, I think I need to have someone sit next to me and I can learn all of these, because knitting and crochet are my favorite.............
I am in Nebraska and teach regularly. You can also check for local yarn stores, knitting guilds, or crochet guilds in your area. They would teach you as well.
@@ForeverBlissCrochet Last year, I went to London, I saw my friend made many knitting and crochet clothes like sweater, and winter hat for her nephew, and she made so preaty.......... LoL now I started interested in it now.................
thank you thank you!

+Sunny B Thanks so much 😊
Ohhh…so now I understand why my scarf takes forever 😅
I don’t knit or crochet. However, it looks like crochet is bigger , fuzzier and more “holey” - is crocheting any good for sweaters and what not? I only ask because the knitting looks tighter
I would go with knitting for clothes - crochet tends to be pretty stiff, whereas knitting seems to be a lot floppier/stretchier.
@@laurenbashoura9575 thank you
i want to learn how to knit and i don't understand what i should and could do after i'll learn just how it works
I had one man ask me to teach him how to crochet with a needle. I told him I didn't know how due to the fact that he probably didn't fully understand the difference between knit/needles and crochet/hook. I still get that question on the city bus: "what are yoi crocheting?" when I'm sitting there with knitting needles!
Interesting. I usually get asked what I’m knitting when I crochet. LOL
My mates are now amazing Crochet artists ❤❤❤❤❤❤. I am in awe at their talent. It looks sooooo fucking difficult. ❤❤❤❤❤
Knitting has WAY more stiches other than knit and purl:
K2tog,k3tog,p2tog,slip,yo and way more.
But i must admit that knitting and purling are the main stiches.
I am learning in your channel video, please help me If I have any question in knitting and crochet ok
I’ll do what I can to help
@@ForeverBlissCrochet I have a question, in knitting and crochet, how many stitches are they, do I have to remember all the stiches and memorize in my head forever???? Because, there are stiches in knitting and crochet right, I have to know how many stiches in knitting and crochet, if we have to memorize all, isn't that is hard??? Are there any tips??? I mean when we do by hand, not machine stiches.............
Knitting has 2 basic stitches (knit and purl). Stitch patterns are some combination of those 2 stitches. Crochet has at least 6 stitches (slip stitch, chain stitch, single Crochet, half double Crochet, double Crochet, treble Crochet). Again, stitch patterns are going to be combinations of those stitches. Not all stitches are used in the same pattern. You learn them one at a time. Yes, you can remember them all. You’d be surprised at all that you can remember.
Hight-th?
Just FYI: "heighth" and "acrosst" (or "acrossed") aren’t words.
You are right, but that is how I pronounce height and across in my American midwest dialect.
Watching this reminds me of how I sucked at my home economics class🤣
I prefer knitting tho, stitches are more compact
I've always wanted to learn how to knit . But never learned.
I came here because I knit and want to learn to crochet, but now I just want to be an alpaca rancher.
which one weighs the most?
Crochet but not by much.
I tried to click on your mailing list link, but received a 404 error mssg. I would like to find out when you're starting your beginning crochet classes and the discount. Thanks!
I have the attention span of a gnat. Crochet for me with uncounted stitches. 😅
