🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on RUclips yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

Now you've learnt the 3 core stitch techniques, try this one next! ruclips.net/video/RwnArj7HdXo/видео.htmlsi=jbPys2H1nS72GAUO 👈😃🧶
I’ve been crocheting for a long time and didn’t need to watch this, but I can’t resist your videos. I’ve sure missed you.
Same
Aw thank you! 🥰
Me, too!!! 🧶 💅🏻 🩷
😄😄 me too! 🙋🏻♀️
Same here
You are by far the best teacher of crochet on YT! Very concise, camera close enough, patient in your demo of stitches… you simply cover everything clearly! … oh, and no music! Perfection all the way around.
What a wonderful comment, thank you so much! That is so appreciated.🥰x
I am British but live in Pennsylvania, USA and taught myself to crochet in July. I have really caught the crochet bug and love blankets. I found your channel and it's great to have clear instructions. I love your blankets and am currently making your gingham style blanket. It looks fabulous and I love it.
Me too, can never have too many blankets! I’m glad your enjoying crochet as it is the best!😅😃
I love your videos. ❤ So easy to follow, with simple directions.
Thank you so much! I'm glad they are helpful 🥰
I have tried loads of RUclips tutorials for absolute beginners and frogged everything because I was getting lost mid instruction. Your vid really got me moving forward. The fact that everything was repeated several times with commentary every time and you said no one is judging the work made me relax more.
The photography and choice of yarn made it clear what each step did.
I’m not very good but YOU made me persevere. There is a reassurance in your voice and also a light heartedness in your delivery. Thank you from a person who thought they were stupid because everyone makes it look so simple and yet I wasn’t getting it. If anyone is on the edge of throwing in the crochet towel give this lady a chance. She made me feel it was possible and I am chaining; single and double crocheting - SLOWLY, but I don’t mind. THANK YOU
Awwh, you are so welcome and you are 100% not stupid.🤗 It is just practice and time. You should have seen of my first crochet when I was learning.🤦♂️ I am glad you have kept going - you can do this.x
I have to say… I watched my great grandmother crocheting for years… I was never able to master it. When I watches this I could hear my grandmother saying “you’re holding your hook wrong” 45 years later and watching this video I finally understand what she meant! This video was great I “think” I finally understand! 😂 🧶
I’m sure you do Jennie, practice pays off with crochet.😃🤗
I don't need this video...but I appreciate the fact that your teaching new crocheters. Your an excellent teacher!! ❤❤
Thank you so much Nellie for the support!🥰🤗
I think this tutorial is great for absolute beginners and also great to get someone elses perspective 😊
Thank you so much Laura!😃🧶
Many thanks. I taught a kids crochet class in the spring and the most difficult part was the first row of single crochet into the chain because their tension on the chain was too tight. When I teach them again, I'll start off their ball of yarn with the first row in place so they can get the rhythm down. I have heard a lot of knitters say they started out with just the knit stitch after their teacher cast on for them.
You’re welcome Valerie, it definitely comes with practice.😃
This is sooooo great for beginners like my granddaughter! I think she has the single double and now the half double down but I sent this to her anyways. Thanks! 💕💕
I hope it helps her! 😃🧶
Thank you for this really clear and well explained tutorial! I really struggle following other tutorials and get so confused about which hole to go through, what’s the first stitch etc. you’ve inspired me to dig out my hooks and have another go 💜
That’s great, I’m so glad it has inspired you Becks. Let me know how you get on.😃🧶
I shall be saving this!🦔
🙌🦔
I only briefly watched a video that popped up on my Facebook page and I was “hooked “ on your amazing teaching skills. I’m a beginner and have watched hundreds of tutorials and you by far hands down are the best! 😊 thank you!
Thank you so much, that’s so kind!🥰x
This was so simple great job 👏
Thank you! 😊
Woww I'm learning how to crochet and this video helped me most! I scrolled and scrolled, finally I came across this one! I'm so glad I came across your channel! Your the best crocheting teacher on RUclips!!!❤
Awh, thank you so much! That’s so kind.🥹🥰
@@HookedbyRobin Your welcome!
If it wasn't for Robin, I would not have learned to crochet. You and Crystal are my favorite teachers.
Thank you Wendy!🥰🧶
Two of my granddaughters and one of my grandsons are all learning to crochet, and getting quite skilled at it! It makes me happy to see this beautiful, useful and satisfying craft being learned by a new generation. Thank you for this excellent refresher course on the basics! 😊
You’re welcome and that is so lovely!🥰
Best crochet tutorial ever . Thank you 🙏🏼👏🏼🌹
Thank you so much!😃
hiya robin! nice of you to think of the beginners. im fairly self taught (many decades before YT!!) and this would have been a blessing! have a terrific week! xoxo
Thank you so much Romayne and you too!😃🧶
I enjoy your tutorials so much that I watched and saved this one just because …
You’re a great teacher ❤
Thank you so much Emmy, that is so kind!🥰🤗
I’m getting my daughter in law hooked on crotchet & have sent some of your videos because I like your videos the best, for their clear explanations & demo’s 💕 Thank you 🙏 🥰
You’re so welcome, I hope she enjoys them.😃🧶
I have watched sooooooooo many tutorials over the past few years and simply couldn’t wrap my head around crotchet…. Then someone recommended your videos and holy cow I get it!!!!! Practicing, screwing up, ripping and starting over with just these three steps until it becomes more natural…. In a few days I’ll search for a simple project and see how it goes. Thank you for your clear and concise teaching style!!
You can definitely do this Jessica, it is just practice and time.😀 I am glad my video has helped and these may help too: ruclips.net/p/PLP0pPGx0kI8-ryt9f_jazZC5oyRd5eIqI&si=4irhJd5dRWTxIHzL
Thank you Robin. I find all your tutorials educational and I certainly appreciate them ! ❤
Thank you so much Dill!🥰🤗
@@HookedbyRobin you’re welcome 🙏🏻
Such a helpful and clear tutorial for beginners thank you Robin 👌Amanda xx💖
Thank you so much Amanda, I remember how daunting it is when you start learning crochet.😅🫣x
I absolutely love your tutorial videos 🤗! They're always full of really easy to follow instructions, descriptions and demonstrates. They're definitely for beginners learning to Crochet 🧶🪡✂️!! Thank you Hooked by Robin ☺️
Thank you so much Florence, I’m glad they help.😃🧶
Oh my goodness. I haven't done this in over 30 years ( I'm 60) and recently decided, after relearning how to sew and creating a wonderful capsule wardrobe, that I needed to relearn how to crochet. My goal is to add a few handmade cardigans and pullover sweaters to my wardrobe. I like your videos. I will surely need to practice my stitches before tackling a sweater. I'm giving myself the spring to improve if not perfect and will spend the summer and autumn actually making the garments. My great grandmother used to crochet and I have the afghan she made before my mother was even born. It's a lovely piece.
That sounds like a fantastic goal Robin, the practice definitely pays off!😃🧶
Perfect tutorial for these three stitches! My adult daughter is going to be teaching her best friend and wasn't sure where to start...this is it. I shared your tutorial with her! By the way, LOVE your speckled nails today! So pretty
Thank you so much Traci, nice to have something a bit different.😃💅I hope this video helps.x
Love this!
I hope it helps Maria?😃

Hooked by Robin, you are my favorite online crochet teacher. Your delivery is clear, the videos are excellent, and the instructions are doable. I only wish you were a Lefty. That is the bane of my crochet journey. I've tried several of the patterns you offered and have some fun things I'm proud of. Please keep posting.
Thank you so much, that’s so kind!🥰 If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on RUclips yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed.😃
You’re just lovely!
Awh, thank you!🥰🤗
Hey Robin👋😄❤! Excellent tutorial for those who wish to begin in crochet. Which will lead to many other lovely stitches and happy projects! Hugs!!!
Hi Carolynn, exactly - once you start crochet, you can’t stop.🫣😅
Robin! You are an amazing teacher! I've just recently learned these three stitches but they're not second nature yet. I'm continuing to practice. 😊
Thanks for showing how to do the slipknot, too. I always struggle doing it.
Thanks so much for all your videos. Hugs from Iowa! ❤
Practice definitely pays off Dee, it soon becomes second nature.😃🧶
@@HookedbyRobin 🥰
I have a 8 yr. old granddaughter who's just learning. We live 5 hrs. apart, so lessons are far apart. I'm sending this to her! Great tips! Wonderful to see you 😊
Ah that is great!😃I hope she is enjoying crochet so far?
I love your videos ! ❤
Thank you so much!😀🧶
You’re welcome. Is there anyway you can crochet a sunflower pattern 😅 or a rose? I’d like to learn and you’re a great teacher 🫶🏼
I have this one: ruclips.net/video/T7LxrBtpAXM/видео.htmlsi=qvt7XfW8EKjuF5gB 🌻
Thanks so much😂
You’re welcome Kathy!😃
Excellent tutorial, thank you. Can you show us what you do at the end of the dc row - where you grab that last chain before the 3 ch and turn.
Hi Robin im a relative new subscriber i love your channel ive watched a lot of your tutorials which are amazing thank you so much im so enjoying my new crotchet journey im making a circle in a granny square blanket after making a granny square stash busting one in yellow and oranges i never managed a granny square till i found your channel thank you for all your hard work 😘
This was the loveliest to read Jacqueline, thank you so much!🥰 I am glad you are enjoying crochet so far and the videos.😃 x
Hello robin, You have put together a wonderful learning tutorial for so many future crocheters 🙂👏👏👏👏.
Thank you so much Adela, I really hope it helps them.😃🧶

You’re welcome Iris!😃🧶
Clever tutorial. And as you said mrs if you master this ones you can master anything in crochet 😊greetings from norway
Absolutely Einar!😃 Thank you so much for watching.x
@@HookedbyRobin my pleasure. Im 52 now, been crochet since I was barerly 7 years old
That’s amazing!🥰🧶
@@HookedbyRobin thank you.
I just 💜💜💜💜watching your vids‼️
I’m so glad you’ve gone back to the pretty nails 💅🏻..Pooh on those that say your nails are distracting.
I’ve been crocheting 🧶 & knitting for a very long time, but I so enjoy watching your vids not only do I learn something or a different way to do something, I just
💜💜💜💜 that accent. Makes the vids so much more enjoyable. As usual, you explain everything so well and don’t unnecessarily repeat (over and over and over) as some do. I find that so annoying. Thanks again for your great tutorials.
Suggestion for a future vid… what are American and English terms different. Thanks 💜
Thank you so much, it is so lovely to be back!😃 I really appreciate your kind words too. I have this link on my website for the difference in terms:
www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet-stitch-conversions
I hope that helps.🤗
Thank you but I’m so sorry.. autocorrect changed a couple words and I didn’t read before I sent…I was asking if you could explain why English and American terms are different. I’ve been curious and can’t seem to find any explanations… thanks💜
Just shared with a friend that's been wanting to learn. I knew you would do a much better job teaching. So happy to see you again 😊. Say hi to Camalama Dingdong!!
Thank you so much for sharing Jill and will do!😅😃
Lol. Seems a lot of us didn’t really need to watch this video but there is definitely a general consensus that we’re crazy about all your videos. You are an amazing teacher 😊😊
I know, you’re all the best!🥰🤗
@@HookedbyRobin 🥰🥰
I do believe chaining can be very tricky as well. It’s so hard to keep your tension proper with the rest of your project. A lot of the time your chain ends up too loose or too tight. It is all practice. I always tend to chain looser than my project and then, without a border of some sort, it looks funny.
Thank you so much, Robin. I love all your videos and have so many saved.
PS I always love your manicure 🫶🏼
You’re so right Christine, tension absolutely comes with practice.😃 Thank you, I thought I’d go for jazzy ones.💅
I started crocheting 1.5 years ago. Learned from RUclips but I wish I had found you first. You are my go to for basics and new ideas and I may need to blame you for my budding yarn addiction…could you or have you a tutorial on proper hand positioning? My technique is horrible!
Hi Kristine, ah I am glad the videos help and you can never have too much yarn I say!😅😀 Check this video out too: ruclips.net/video/jg2p9gM7U5A/видео.htmlsi=OjoEjhrzh_w8OFwO
Best tutorial on RUclips!!! By my double is SO LOOSE 😩
Thank you!😃 Are you new to crochet?
@@HookedbyRobin yes I have just started, maybe three weeks in 🤞🏻
It definitely gets easier with practice and time.🧶
Guten Abend! Ich folge Ihren Anleitungen und kann sie sehr gut verstehen und auch umsetzen. Sie sind richtig gut 👍👍👍
Vielen Dank, das ist so nett Heike!😃🥰

Wow, you are making this so easy for me to learn. T Y
You’re so welcome Cheryl!😃
I love your tutorials. I want to make a sleep buddy doll (bear or bunny )for my granddaughter. Do you have a tutorial for one. ?
I’m afraid I don’t.🤗x
I didnt need to watch ,but I'm definitely sending this to my daughter 😊 ,also quick question for you ,would you do a crochet xmas tree video ? Ive looked on youtube but found nothing i liked and you're soo easy to follow 😊
Thank you for sharing!🥰 Never say never but until then, here are the rest of my Christmas videos.😃

So cute!
Very nice 🌹🌼🌷🍀🌸⚘️🌻🪻🌺
Thank you so much Luna!😃🤗
Robin your hands are beautiful.what kind of nail polish do you use?
I use these: www.amazon.co.uk/shop/hookedbyrobin/list/23WA0CO7FF3LO?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfhookedbyrobin_ZP409DSKNN07GY9VR4RF 😃
“No one cares what this little sample will look like”. My brain: 🤪😅
😂
So every corner we always do 3 chains to start the next row?
What hook size do you recommend beginning with? I got my first a 3.5mm because the storeowner told me its a nice begginner's size but I am finding working with it quite hard due to loops being so small. Is it because I am an absolute begginner or because 3.5mm hook is not recommended for beginners? 🤔
I'd definitely recommend a larger hook and some thicker yarn to start it - it means you will be clearly able to see your stitches :)
I tend to suggest a chunky yarn with a 6mm to start x
The only skill I would add for beginners is how to properly hold the working yarn in the "non-hook" hand.
I don't believe there's a wrong way to hold the yarn. I hold mine in an "unusual" way, but it gets the job done and it's comfortable for me.
I'm definitely in the "there's no right or wrong way to hold yarn" camp - I have a very unusual yarn hold myself 😅🧶
I’ve tried to hold my yarn like Robin does but I just can’t do it. I think everyone has their own method that works for them.
Thank you Robin - every tutorial that you kindly share with us is educational and appreciated ! ❤
I'm in the "there is no right/wrong way" camp as well. I (right hand dominant) learned to crochet by sitting across from my left handed Sister (Robin you WILL laugh til you hurt over that one😉) she held her yarn totally wacky bonkers and I just followed suit...to this day my left hand looks like its trying to take flight! It's ALL good Ladies & Gents....its whats comfortable to/for you😁!
Why does everyone skip that first stitch? That’s the only way I got my edges straight
🌍☮️🌲
🥰🧶
I have a question. I've watched another crotchet channel. She refers the single as either american or I believe European. Can you please say whether or not your single is American or European? I'm a beginner
The single crochet is an American term :)
I have a full list of the differences between the 2 terms here: www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet-stitch-conversions
You missed a stitch . Half double crochet stitch. That goes in between single and double crochet stitch stitches.
I am showing the 3 stitches that will teach all the techniques to be able to do any other stitch with ease (like the half double etc)
@@HookedbyRobin👍
If you learn to do a single and a double, you will easily do a half double - that is Robin’s point!
