    FAQs??
    -How many squares do I need for a baby blanket?
    This can vary, it really can be however big or small you like, but i generally do 4x4 or 5x5.
    This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
    -How many chains shall I do for a *single/double/etc' blanket?
    Again, this can vary. I would suggest that you do your chain and lay it down agains the bed you are wanting it for. It should be the same width. You should then ad a few more to make it a little wider.

    -How much yarn do I need?
    Unfortunately, I will be able to answer individuals questions about how much yarn you would used do to multiple factors affecting it. Such as, your tension, the size of hook and the yarn being used.
    -What equipment do you use?

    Super beginner here! The process of crocheting takes several steps… I only just mastered the slip knot this morning after practicing a little bit for 2 days…and just now made my first chain… now I am just practicing the chain until I have mastered the tension and holding the crochet hook which is an art in itself…when I find myself getting frustrated I just unravel the string and try again and it’s getting better!!! Maybe tomorrow I will be able to move onto the next step. Thank you for your help!!

      I'm doing the same. Step by step is what's working for me. I can do basic knitting but this is a whole different thing. You're spot on, holding the hook properly is an art form and managing tension is so tricky. It's incredibly frustrating but utterly rewarding and moreish when you see the progress. Good luck with your journey. :)

    Soooo this is not a success story or anything but maybe it can motivate some.
    About 10 years ago I saw my friend crocheting in class. I was in 8th grade, we had sewing lessons incorporated into the curricula, but there were no crocheting and knitting lessons. I asked my friend to teach me, I even bought a hook and yarn myself but... somehow I just didn't understand my friend's explanation and after trying and trying and always failing, I gave up.
    Now I've never been a very patient or diligent one, so I just thought "maybe this isn't for me anyway" and for a solid 10 years believed that I'd never be able to do it at all. I'd always say "yeah I can sew but I could never crochet/knit".
    Then suddenly I was asked to sew a felt doll as a gift for a graduating friend. As I sew I thought to myself, "well, isn't this a relaxing hobby?" The reason why it's relaxing is because I do not need to think anymore once the doll plan is set, I just need to repeat the same movements (sewing) without thinking. Now this is different from my other hobby which is drawing, with drawing I feel like even if you've had it all planned (e.g. by sketching first) you always have to dynamically think about stuff along the way. It's a fun and stimulating hobby, but not relaxing enough for me. Again this is just what I think, as a comparison to sewing.
    Then I suddenly thought, "well... what about I try crocheting again?" So I watched these tutorials and sure it looked easy enough, I've always been a person who learns the most through examples not explanations, and finally bought a new set of hook and yarn because I lost my previous one from the middle school days.
    Lo and behold after some beginner mistakes... I was able to finish a piece from the tutorial. It's a non-functional small square, but I did it. I finally gained the skill I had believed I could never get for the last 10 years.
    I thought hard about it after. How many opportunities and experiences have we lost just because we think we can't, and will never be able, to do something?
    Alright. To end this, I encourage you guys to try something new, even if you have failed on it before!
    Thank you Bella Coco for the tutor! Please continue making excellent tutorials on crocheting! ♡

    For those of us whose mind prefers learning through exploring, and doesn't do very well with linear step-by-step processes: just crochet wildly and see what happens. My square quickly went off course. And instead of trying over or giving up, as I did before, I decided to just roll with it. And I ended up with a very cute little bowl.

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  4 года назад +65

      Don't give up, after more practise you will become better and better at identifying the stitches 😊 Make sure you are starting with a small amount of stitches so you can count them across and also use stitch markers or loops of a contrasting colour yarn to mark off each stitch, then once you turn over to work back along the row you will be able to identify them much easier.

I even accidentally made a small uneven hat after experimenting with the layers haha.

I’ve been knitting for decades, but until this video crochet has always eluded me, and I always felt stupid for not being able to follow tutorials. But after watching this one (granted I might have had to put it on half speed and watched it several times) I think I finally grasped the concept! I know it’ll take a lot of time and practice to get as comfortable as I am with knitting, especially when it comes to tension, but it’s still a huge milestone for me! Thank you! 💜
