Yallllll I did ittttt after at least 50 try’s. The trick is to talk to the yarn nicely and be calm with the yarn… The yarn will sense your frustration and use it to its advantage
Bahaha I'm researching into crochet, saw this comment and laughed out loud. Very familiar with the concept of speaking to inanimate objects. I work in IT, do it with computers all the time, so speaking to yarn will be easy!
I watched this when I was first starting off and I was so frustrated that I couldn’t get the chain down. I probably watched this 10 times to get it right. Now, a year later I can crochet almost anything! Don’t give up ❤️
I've been knitting for most of my life and decided I wanted to learn crochet. After a week of absolutely failing to be able to do a single stitch, I found this tutorial, and I was finally able to make a chain. A million thanks!
I took really well to learning a slip knot. My sis already does this and gave me white yarn to practice with. Im making the world's longest tampon string!
whoever is reading this and you feel like giving up, just know that it will be worth it when you make your first successful project! Remember no one knows how to do something at first, you have to learn and it can take time! Good luck and know you CAN DO IT!!
To anyone reading this, it gets easier!!! I practiced tying a slip knot about 30 times. And I tried chaining 10 about 15 times. It does get easier! At first my yarn was too tight and then too loose. Then I couldn't work out how to hold the yarn. I finally got it all working smoothly... only to forget how to yarn over only a few hours later! It's now been a few days and things are becoming familiar. I've done maybe 20 minutes of practice every day and it's working! And I'm enjoying it! It needs patience but so much fun when you make progress! This video is magical, thank you soooooo much!
My grandmother taught me to crochet/sew during summer visits when I was 7 yrs old. I must have been a very patient little girl & her a patient teacher. she made beautiful blankets for the church. Those memories with her have stayed with me all my life.
My grandma tried to do the same thing except I was a little gremlin with undiagnosed adhd so I never got the hang of it. Now that I’m older and actually have an attention span I want to get back into it
I used to crochet quite a bit. Never anything “fancy”, only single or double crochet. Anyway, after years of NOT crocheting, I forgot how! I have watched your videos over & over. They are great refreshers. Thank you for sharing these instructions. I really appreciate the absolute “beginner” instructions also. Trust me, I need them! 😊
5 months ago I tried crocheting and stopped because I got too frustrated, I am now getting back into it! I watched this video and another of yours and i improved a lot. Thank you!
Elizabeth Fawl I'm wanting to make some jug covers the same as my great grandma did with my grandma's crochet kit. proving harder than I thought. does anyone know how to get the chains to look tight like hers did without having too much tension that you can't get the hook to pull thru?
This looks easier in the video than when i try it in real life Edit: Wooah ty for the likes. Btw I learnt how to make a crochet square now so just keep trying 😊
Started learning how to crochet today at varsity as part of a volunteer program where we make scarfs and winter hats for hospital patients and I have to say I struggled and was overwhelmed, but seeing these videos makes me more excited to continue to learn. Thank you, from South Africa.
This video really helped me learn! My mom doesn’t like to do crafty things, but after watching this she got really interested and started along with me. As I’m writing this, my mom is crocheting next to me :)
back in 2016, i watched your video on how to hand crotchet a chunky knit blanket. ive made 3 blankets since then, and recently got a crotchet kit and ive never done crotchet like that before. this video is extremely helpful. thank you for teaching all of us. i have you to thank for this wonderful hobby
The tension on the bottom string is something I wanted but didn’t know how to achieve! Don’t give up guys! I went from taking two days to tie a slip knot to making 10 stitches in a row :)
Well done! Tension is something that will get better with practise, but I do have a tutorial with some hints and tips here: ruclips.net/video/SRVA_4uNsNw/видео.html 😊
I love that she showed how to unravel the first piece of yarn. I was struggling to find the end but she was so confident when she did it that I realized that naybe the firs piece goes into the yarn itself.
Have been crocheting for 30+ years. Great video! She shows beginners how to wrap the yarn around their little and pointer fingers! Notice that her little finger opens and closes a little bit sometimes. The little finger controls the flow of yarn to either; remain the same, slow down, or speed up. If you think you’re crocheting too loosely tighten up your little finger a bit. If you think you’re crocheting too tightly, open your little finger a bit and relax your shoulders. An indentation on your pointy finger means you’re either crocheting too tightly or your yarn is rough/scratchy.
Aha, GOT IT! 😃 The part about holding the loop at the bottom to get the tension wasn’t explained well in another channel’s video and I ended up stuck trying to figure out how to actually get the yarn moving. This video put me on the right track and I managed to get an itty bitty practice chain going in about 15 minutes! Thank you! 🙏
I've always wanted to learn how to do crochet and now i have enough time on my hands due to Covid 19 is the perfect time for me to learn . I've subscribed to your channel and will be on here everyday now so Thank You .

I have tried and failed several times to learn to crochet and am ecstatic that I am now looking at my first line of successful crochet stitches, all thanks to your really clear, step, by step teaching. I even managed to convert them for my being left handed. Looking forward to the next video when I'm a bit more practised. Thanks so much!
Your very welcome, I do all the beginner tutorials in left handed as well so if you check me out on youtube and type in bella coco crochet for beginners left handed they will come up in a list. Hope this helps 🙂
Thank you for explaining so well and slowly! Other instructors move so fast, it's hard to track my eyes with what's happening to the yarn and hook, but you do a nice job of making sure the viewer has plenty of chance to see all of the steps.
I DID A SLIP KNOT ON THE FIRST TRY WAHOOOO THANK YOUUU IM SO EXCITED TO MOVE ON INTO THE TUT Edit 1: 42 MINS LATER, I MADE A CHAIN. GUYS I MADE A CHAIN OMG OMG SJDJKEKWQKKSKSKWO
I have wanted to learn how to crochet for ages just never gave it a try until today. Your videos and instructions are so clear. The chain was a bit of a struggle but I finally did it. Going to practice before I move on to the next step! Thank you so much x
@@xoxxosam omg ye I made a tiny mushroom it's so cute. It took me a while tho bc I had to redo it it a few times until I got the hang of it, also bc I kept losing count of how many stitches I'd done
tysm this actually helped! I just got a crochet kit but I'm an absolute beginner and it took me a while to finally make a chain and your tips rlly helped! :)
truly, most tuts are real struggle for me bc of all the remembering I have to do but combined with the accent and instructions, I'm having a great learning experience
Oh boy I've learned from so many people how to do a slip knot and I could never get it to stick. And then here comes you with THE SIMPLEST METHOD EVER!!! Thank you so much❤
Quarantine got me trying all kinds of new things... One day I was just laying in bed and thought *"I wonder how hard it is to crochet..."* And here I am...
I started crochet using these Bella Coco videos, kept it up for 6 weeks or so and gave up. Revisited today and found I still remember slip knot, chain and double crochet! It has so inspired me, to see that I can remember. And this time I will keep it up! Don't give up. Thank you for these great videos x
Used to crochet some 25 years ago and as a senior trying to return to it as it is so relaxing. Your videos are to the point, explaining well and have helped me tremendously. As I have returned to renew my skills, realize how tense I am, my stiches are very tight which is presenting problems. Need to learn to chill out! Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for explaining everything so thoroughly, even the different ways of holding the hook and yarn, this was a game changer compared to other tutorials I've watched 🙏🏻
I remember watching this 5 months ago learning how to chain. Now I have made my onw tutorial on how to crochet! edit: i posted this a year ago 😭 im a lot better now lmfao also 666 likes 💀
i randomly wanted to start learning to crochet and cant really find an answer to a question. does every crochet project start with a chain or are there other ways to start? and congrats on your business!
Thanks, I made my first chain because of you! (; Edit: after 42 minutes, I'm now even BETTER at this skill, and now I feel really happy. Thanks once again!
Thank you SO much for this video! I am a knitter and wanted to learn how to crochet. I bought a learn to crochet kit that comes with video's to learn, well those videos sucked! The instructor was explaining and showing the single crochet( i am from us), but whatever she was showing, my chain was getting all twisted and looked like a tangled MESS! I was getting very frustrated and wanted to give up. Then I found your tutorial...AWESOME you made this fun for me to learn, I picked it up right away. Thank you.
I always thought that crocheting would be hard(which it currently is for me), but it’s turning out to be a lot better and easier than I thought! My friend already knows how to crochet, and she made me something which got me into crochet. I thank her so much for that, haha. I thought I might have to watch multiple videos, but no, yours made my first experience wonderful❤
I found these videos a few years ago and they helped me and I felt confident, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I had went from an absolute beginner confident at making chains and slipnots to the beginning and struggling. I'll give it my all. Thank you for your calm voice and tutorial. Even if I can only end up making a chain, it's great to fidget with!
Just to put this out there, because I made a silly mistake and I suppose others might make the same: Make sure you make your slip knot the right way round. I did it the wrong way, which made it tighten when I pulled on the short end and it was nearly impossible to get past that first stitch...
@Hannat Balogun I assume you figured it out by now, but you gotta make the loop with the other end of the yarn. I don't know by heart which side, so I keep messing it up but then I can correct myself xD But like, if you make a loop with a short end and a long end (where the rest of the yarn is), you gotta put another loop through it and you can make that loop with either the long side or the short side and one of them is correct xD
@@lela5894 you can also just do the first loop with your fingers and then hook the second onto your crochet needle. It's kind of cheating, but you will be able to go on from there xD
I was just sitting on my bed at new years i thought i should learn how to crochet because my sister does and she makes it look so easy and when i tried i just ended up crying on my bed and then i learned how to do it and im so happy and crocheters gained my respect 😊
What the heck. This is so simple. Why the heck did I think it was one of the most complex things ever. I LOVE IT OMG??? New special interest unlocked, this will be so useful for doing projects with my recycled yarn. Thank you, you are amazing and have a great day.
Thanks for explaining from the absolute beginning, I’m doing bag Mats for homeless people and haven’t been able to find an instructional video that didn’t start from the middle, you totally rock chick! Thank you, I appreciate you.
Thank you!! I have had a crochet kit scene last Easter 😅 Me and my dad couldn’t get the first stitch so we gave up, and kind of forgot about it But with a video it’s WAY easier. I’m planing on getting new yarn so I can make more things!
OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I have looked at soooo many videos soooo far and I can't get a knot until i watch this like omg i feel so much happier thank you sooo much
I'm so glad that they have been of help to you, remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will get. Good luck and let me know how you get on :)
For those struggling with the slipknot, watch at 0.5x speed. There's a point where the yarn goes to the other finger which I was missing. Very clear when slowed down
I started learning it yesterday and with the help of my mother and sister and this video I learned it very quickly so far I know how to do a knot well I learned it at the first step,I know how to double crochet and triple crochet yayy
Everyone saying that it's so hard in the comments I thought I would be crying too well I was frustrated then my sister told me I was doing it all the way wrong like for the second row I was making circle again and again I was so confused where the hell I was wrong then my sister told me I was putting the yarn in the same hole again and again😂
I have never crocheted. I started watching your videos & then actually having a go & I'm obsessed! Just made the poppy & I'm really pleased with myself. Your videos are easy to follow & I can't wait to do more. Thank 💕 you
For anyone who is struggling right now I know how you feel I was really having a hard time last week but I didn’t give up and now I’m doing super good so my message to you is don’t give up and you can do hard things just keep trying you got this 😊
I had almost given up on not being able to crochet, but I watched this and tried wrapping the yarn the same way you do and I’m crying from relief because it’s working finally! Thank you for taking the time to teach others this beautiful craft!
Just finished my first crochet scarf! Bella Coco is a fantastic teacher. Have been a knitter for many years. I fly a lot and wanted to give crochet a go. Crochet hook versus 2 long knitting needles. May 2024
I remember watching this over 2 years ago completely clueless about crochet but since then I’ve improved so much since if I haven’t seen this video I would’ve given up on crochet by now
Thank you for this video. I have 2 daughters and one is what I call my sensory child. I thought this would be fun for all of us but especially enjoyable for her. This is just what we needed to start learning. Very detailed but simple and slow enough for us to see whats going on. Thank you.
Oh my goodness this was the fourth "learn to crochet" video that I tried and I was just about ready to give up as it just wasn't working for me but FINALLY IT MAKES SENSE!!!! Seems I just needed to find the right way of holding the yarn that would work for me 😊 Excited to start turning my chain into a square now ❤
Thank you for this video. I Googled how to tie a slip knot and a selection of this video, dedicated to how to tie a slip knot, came up. I liked how you did it slowly, and explained what you were doing as you it. Thanks for taking the time to make this!💙
Thank you so much I am am sixty one years old from India Your videos are amazing, taught me crochet at this age It is not very perfect yet, but I am trying Thank you
This is literally my New Years resolution, well it’s a big part, lmao i wanna stop drinking and smoking so i wanna learn how to crochet to keep my mind focused on something more productive-ish and help me keep my sobriety🙏🏽💯
Hey I'm getting sober this year as well! How is it going for you? I'm thinking about buying some yarn and trying this crocheting thing. Would be nice to have something to do at the couch.
@@zupik1894 honestly it was really nice when i was sticking to it, was a good way of keeping my hands busy other than rolling up every minute🙄and kept my eyes focused on something other than the tv🤷🏽♀️& i have been slacking recently but I’m getting back to it & you def can too…idk how long you’ve been sober but even if you get the urge (which is normal) just try to stay strong 💪🏽
Omg I've nailed this class. Previously, I couldn't even do the slip knot from the step by step diagrams in booklet thingy I got with my crochet hooks. Now I'm cooking on gas. Going to my next class now. 🏃🏻♂️💨 See you all at lunch.
A few years ago I tried to crochet but found it difficult but a couple of weeks ago I thought I’d give it another go and thanks to your video I can now crochet a basic square so the next step for me is a granny square, thank you for showing me how to crochet.
Hi 👋I am sorry if this sounds weird but you wrote such a nice and interesting comment on here and I like it. Obviously you are a positive person. If it’s alright with you I’d love to be friends.

Yallllll I did ittttt after at least 50 try’s. The trick is to talk to the yarn nicely and be calm with the yarn… The yarn will sense your frustration and use it to its advantage
Well done, just remember that crochet is practice and patience :)
Bahaha I'm researching into crochet, saw this comment and laughed out loud. Very familiar with the concept of speaking to inanimate objects. I work in IT, do it with computers all the time, so speaking to yarn will be easy!
Thanks for the tip I usually yell at my crafting supplies when I’m frustrated 🤣
@@maddieschulz3537 Oh yea! i totally relate :)
the yarn still won’t cooperate
My parents are wondering why I'm sitting at the table, with yarn in my hands, and crying right now.
That happened to me two years ago lol. But now I am making a comeback. ✨
Yeah I can’t do it at all. Her hook has a tall grasp (top hook thing) and mine is TINY. It doesn’t grab any of the yarn when I do yarn over at all
@@theworm4366 SAME!!! Mines hook is sooo small for some reason 😶
Same here. I tried doing but the single one going somewhere else🥰🤗🤔
I am so happy there is a comment section here :)) happy to know I'm not alone..
I watched this when I was first starting off and I was so frustrated that I couldn’t get the chain down. I probably watched this 10 times to get it right. Now, a year later I can crochet almost anything! Don’t give up ❤️
That's brilliant well done :)
Congrats hun! 😊 That is my goal. Since im just starting.
I needed this, so thank you, this is my 5th video and I've just done my first slip knot. Safe to say I was close to giving up!
Good job and thanks
Nice, watching this the first time, lets see where i go
I've been knitting for most of my life and decided I wanted to learn crochet. After a week of absolutely failing to be able to do a single stitch, I found this tutorial, and I was finally able to make a chain. A million thanks!
You are very welcome :)
@@bellacococrochetcan u explain to me a little better in word got to do the chain bc I don’t get it at all
I took really well to learning a slip knot. My sis already does this and gave me white yarn to practice with. Im making the world's longest tampon string!
Hahahaha
I laughed way too hard at this lol

Oh my God, I snorted when I read this!! 🤣

Me: “Time to set up my Etsy shop!”
Lol and I thought I was the only one
Hahahahahah at least we nail our slip knot
🥰 do it!!
SAME LOL
Felt this
whoever is reading this and you feel like giving up, just know that it will be worth it when you make your first successful project! Remember no one knows how to do something at first, you have to learn and it can take time! Good luck and know you CAN DO IT!!
THANK YOU!!! 💕 I keep telling myself that I should be able to know this by now even though Ive been at it for only 10 minutes, I need to calm down 😂
What if i just practice and never actually create any projects
I’ve been practicing for hours crying but this gave me happy tears
Thanks for motive
I spent 3 years just to make one stitch ( of course I gave up)
To anyone reading this, it gets easier!!!
I practiced tying a slip knot about 30 times. And I tried chaining 10 about 15 times. It does get easier! At first my yarn was too tight and then too loose. Then I couldn't work out how to hold the yarn. I finally got it all working smoothly... only to forget how to yarn over only a few hours later!
It's now been a few days and things are becoming familiar. I've done maybe 20 minutes of practice every day and it's working! And I'm enjoying it! It needs patience but so much fun when you make progress!
This video is magical, thank you soooooo much!
You are very welcome :)
F*CK THIS BULLSHITTING

@@bellacococrochet thank you!! ❤️:)) I’ve gotten so much better 💗
how is it so easy for you:(
Have been a knitter for many years, giving crocheting a go, Bella s a fantastic teacher! Spring 2024
Ahh thank you so much :)
I have wanted to learn how to crochet for ages just never gave it a try until today. Your videos and instructions are so clear. The chain was a bit of a struggle but I finally did it. Going to practice before I move on to the next step! Thank you so much x
You are very welcome and remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will become :)
me watching this so I can make a crochet mushroom (eventually): 👁👄👁
Hey I’m not the only one!
Bee and a mushroom. I'm a simple human
same 👁👄👁
Any luck lol ? I need to know
@@xoxxosam omg ye I made a tiny mushroom it's so cute. It took me a while tho bc I had to redo it it a few times until I got the hang of it, also bc I kept losing count of how many stitches I'd done
Me with adhd quarantined trying to make a bee I saw on TikTok 👁👄👁 I’m now wrapped in yarn confused
same
that is literally the only reason i want to learn crochet
@@kaden587 lmao
😂😅
Lol I wanna make a little crewmate from among us
tysm this actually helped! I just got a crochet kit but I'm an absolute beginner and it took me a while to finally make a chain and your tips rlly helped! :)
You are very welcome, I'm glad I've helped :)
I love how simple and straight forward this is! It isn't overwhelming at all!!
truly, most tuts are real struggle for me bc of all the remembering I have to do but combined with the accent and instructions, I'm having a great learning experience
I'm so glad that it has helped you :)
If this isnt sarcastic I’d be concerned
@@keira6361LMAO literally
i still can’t do it 😭 idk if my loop is too tight but i can’t make stitches
Oh boy I've learned from so many people how to do a slip knot and I could never get it to stick. And then here comes you with THE SIMPLEST METHOD EVER!!! Thank you so much❤
You're welcome :)
Quarantine got me trying all kinds of new things... One day I was just laying in bed and thought
*"I wonder how hard it is to crochet..."*
And here I am...
Mn
I started crochet using these Bella Coco videos, kept it up for 6 weeks or so and gave up. Revisited today and found I still remember slip knot, chain and double crochet! It has so inspired me, to see that I can remember. And this time I will keep it up! Don't give up. Thank you for these great videos x
You are very welcome :)
Used to crochet some 25 years ago and as a senior trying to return to it as it is so relaxing. Your videos are to the point, explaining well and have helped me tremendously. As I have returned to renew my skills, realize how tense I am, my stiches are very tight which is presenting problems. Need to learn to chill out! Thank you for your videos.
You are very welcome :)
Thank you for explaining everything so thoroughly, even the different ways of holding the hook and yarn, this was a game changer compared to other tutorials I've watched 🙏🏻
You are so very welcome :)
I remember watching this 5 months ago learning how to chain. Now I have made my onw tutorial on how to crochet!
edit: i posted this a year ago 😭 im a lot better now lmfao also 666 likes 💀
You've made a business and a crochet bucket hat??!? No way
@@Br3po Woah I wrote this a while ago...YES I do still have my own business and I'm 10 😌
Same age as me . What's you YT chanel?
Amazing aw I want to learn so I can make a baby blanket haha
i randomly wanted to start learning to crochet and cant really find an answer to a question. does every crochet project start with a chain or are there other ways to start? and congrats on your business!
Thanks, I made my first chain because of you! (;
Edit: after 42 minutes, I'm now even BETTER at this skill, and now I feel really happy. Thanks once again!
You're welcome :)
Thank you SO much for this video! I am a knitter and wanted to learn how to crochet. I bought a learn to crochet kit that comes with video's to learn, well those videos sucked! The instructor was explaining and showing the single crochet( i am from us), but whatever she was showing, my chain was getting all twisted and looked like a tangled MESS! I was getting very frustrated and wanted to give up. Then I found your tutorial...AWESOME you made this fun for me to learn, I picked it up right away. Thank you.
You are very welcome and well done for not giving up :)
I always thought that crocheting would be hard(which it currently is for me), but it’s turning out to be a lot better and easier than I thought! My friend already knows how to crochet, and she made me something which got me into crochet. I thank her so much for that, haha. I thought I might have to watch multiple videos, but no, yours made my first experience wonderful❤
I'm so glad that it has been of help to you :)
I’m just here to make a Harry Styles cardigan Quarantine crochet squad where y’all at
Here
hi
the things I do for this man
IM HEREEEE
I want to do that too !!
I found these videos a few years ago and they helped me and I felt confident, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I had went from an absolute beginner confident at making chains and slipnots to the beginning and struggling. I'll give it my all. Thank you for your calm voice and tutorial. Even if I can only end up making a chain, it's great to fidget with!
Please remember that the more you do the easier it will become so don't give up keep trying - good luck :)
Me: gets past the first step
Also me: *im a crochet genius*
Jammy rodger so true
When my mom taught me the first time, I loved it and so I crocheted a very long line that at the time, was two times the length then of my height
『』 Reeses_Cat『』 same
mood
She talks a lot 🤦
😭😭😭I haven’t even TOUCHED my tools yet & everyone is saying theyre crying… knowing the typa person i am i’ll be crying too
Right.
Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to wait until I'm emotionally stable before trying this
Naurrr ya'll can do it I learned it after 5min 🎉
@@patrickjuniper8689it takes 5-10min if your cal enough, u can definitely do it
nah i didnt cry tbh....i got it in my 10th try the chain know is easy
Just to put this out there, because I made a silly mistake and I suppose others might make the same:
Make sure you make your slip knot the right way round. I did it the wrong way, which made it tighten when I pulled on the short end and it was nearly impossible to get past that first stitch...
thanks, this was my exact problem as the slip stitch kept shrinking and making it impossible to even get it over the hook!!
@Hannat Balogun I assume you figured it out by now, but you gotta make the loop with the other end of the yarn. I don't know by heart which side, so I keep messing it up but then I can correct myself xD But like, if you make a loop with a short end and a long end (where the rest of the yarn is), you gotta put another loop through it and you can make that loop with either the long side or the short side and one of them is correct xD
@Hannat Balogun Did my very vague explaination help? xD
i’m confused i can’t figure out which was it right lol i know you explained but i’m so lost bro
@@lela5894 you can also just do the first loop with your fingers and then hook the second onto your crochet needle. It's kind of cheating, but you will be able to go on from there xD
I was just sitting on my bed at new years i thought i should learn how to crochet because my sister does and she makes it look so easy and when i tried i just ended up crying on my bed and then i learned how to do it and im so happy and crocheters gained my respect 😊
What the heck. This is so simple. Why the heck did I think it was one of the most complex things ever. I LOVE IT OMG??? New special interest unlocked, this will be so useful for doing projects with my recycled yarn. Thank you, you are amazing and have a great day.
You are very welcome :)
The fact that everyone else seems to be dying over this is somewhat comforting
Watching my 10 yr old daughter trying this is priceless. Thank you for this lol.
You are very welcome :)
my sister is 11 and i fucking hate her shes a rat
Anyone watching in 2025? 😏
Here
Me
Jes
Hrere😊

Am I the only 19 y/o boy here ??? 😂
I find these "feminine" activities /art really attractive 😍💐
Nah Fam, I'm here with you. I'm making something for my girlfriend :D
@@ryanbaran9930 Cute ...hope she loves it 💐 All the best !!
Piyush Rohilla crocheting shouldnt have a gender 😌 do what makes you happy ❤️
You re not alone 🤫😂👍
Haha no need for me to make this anymore. My girlfriend's been cheating on me with my closest friend. Sick now I have a new hobby
Thanks for explaining from the absolute beginning, I’m doing bag Mats for homeless people and haven’t been able to find an instructional video that didn’t start from the middle, you totally rock chick! Thank you, I appreciate you.
You're very welcome 🙂
Hi, was wondering if u could show us how u made those bag mats. Would be interested in doing the same thing :)
i’ve seen so many video and this one was the only one that i actually learned thank you !!
You are very welcome :)
This was the only crochet tutorial that made me not give up on crocheting! Now I can crochet without getting frustrated. Thanks so much!
Thank you!! I have had a crochet kit scene last Easter 😅
Me and my dad couldn’t get the first stitch so we gave up, and kind of forgot about it
But with a video it’s WAY easier. I’m planing on getting new yarn so I can make more things!
You are very welcome and good luck, remember that crochet is practice and patience :)
I'm here preparing for the new year lockdown ☺️
Well it’s here hate it

THANK YOU I LOVE YOU
TYYYY

Thank you!!
Ok
OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I have looked at soooo many videos soooo far and I can't get a knot until i watch this like omg i feel so much happier thank you sooo much
You are very welcome :)
I've been *attempting* to learn to crochet and this is my go to channel for it. I love how you explain everything so nicely.
I'm so glad that they have been of help to you, remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will get. Good luck and let me know how you get on :)
@@bellacococrochet Thank you! I can now do this step easily and am in episode/step two now.
Thank you for this beginners video. You just made my daughters day. And mine too. It’s so nice to see her loving something other than video games.
You are very welcome :)
You have the same name as my dad n I'm obsessed w video games 😳
Oh wait it says brent micheal nvm
For those struggling with the slipknot, watch at 0.5x speed. There's a point where the yarn goes to the other finger which I was missing. Very clear when slowed down
oh my god thank you so much! I was struggling and about to cry 😭 God bless you and have a good day
@@pinkqqqhaha no problem! I was there too!
BLESS YOU. So helpful!!
That’s brilliant!!!
Or tie a slip not the other way, the simple way lol.
I started learning it yesterday and with the help of my mother and sister and this video I learned it very quickly so far I know how to do a knot well I learned it at the first step,I know how to double crochet and triple crochet yayy
Everyone saying that it's so hard in the comments I thought I would be crying too well I was frustrated then my sister told me I was doing it all the way wrong like for the second row I was making circle again and again I was so confused where the hell I was wrong then my sister told me I was putting the yarn in the same hole again and again😂
I have never crocheted. I started watching your videos & then actually having a go & I'm obsessed! Just made the poppy & I'm really pleased with myself. Your videos are easy to follow & I can't wait to do more. Thank 💕 you
You are very welcome and well done :)
Trash
The tutorial was very easy to follow! I spent 3 days trying to do a chain stitch but i did it successfully after watching this video once!
Glad it helped, good luck with your crochet journey :)
For anyone who is struggling right now I know how you feel I was really having a hard time last week but I didn’t give up and now I’m doing super good so my message to you is don’t give up and you can do hard things just keep trying you got this 😊
Well done for not giving up :)
I had almost given up on not being able to crochet, but I watched this and tried wrapping the yarn the same way you do and I’m crying from relief because it’s working finally! Thank you for taking the time to teach others this beautiful craft!
You are very welcome :)
The best tutorial I've seen, so thoroughly explained and beginner friendly
Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful :)
NOT!@@bellacococrochet
Thanks mom. You’re a star!
You're welcome :)
i love slipknot, such a good band
Just finished my first crochet scarf! Bella Coco is a fantastic teacher. Have been a knitter for many years. I fly a lot and wanted to give crochet a go. Crochet hook versus 2 long knitting needles. May 2024
Thank you so much :)
I remember watching this over 2 years ago completely clueless about crochet but since then I’ve improved so much since if I haven’t seen this video I would’ve given up on crochet by now
Congrats! Love the pfp by the way
thank you so much!!! my daughter knows how to crochet thanks to you and she really enjoys it 😄
You are welcome 😊
Awesome tutorial! I got it within a few minutes, the biggest help was not pulling too tight, I’ll be using your tutorials from now on
Thank you so much :)
Thank you so much for these videos. I could never crochet until watching you. I have to keep practicing over and over again but I'm making progress.
You are so very welcome, and remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will become :)
I’m definitely not new but watching in case I can pick up a tip or two. Thanks for creating these videos!
You're very welcome glad you have found them useful :)
Thank you for this video. I have 2 daughters and one is what I call my sensory child. I thought this would be fun for all of us but especially enjoyable for her. This is just what we needed to start learning. Very detailed but simple and slow enough for us to see whats going on. Thank you.
You're very welcome :)
3:07 be being happy because I did the slip knot😂
Hell yeah.....its so awesome....i finally did it...i am machinist....i dont have soft hands.....it took me so much time to make first chain.
Well done for not giving up :)
This is a first for me but it's never too late to learn (I'm a senior citizen). Okay! I need to get some wool and a hook! I'll be back soon!
WHEN I SAW YOU DO THE FIRST CHAIN I ATTEMPTED AND DID IT!! THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ❤️
You're welcome :)
.....set time on Rolex watch
set watch
Oh my goodness this was the fourth "learn to crochet" video that I tried and I was just about ready to give up as it just wasn't working for me but FINALLY IT MAKES SENSE!!!! Seems I just needed to find the right way of holding the yarn that would work for me 😊 Excited to start turning my chain into a square now ❤
I'm glad that it was helpful and remember that crochet is practice and patience so keep trying and it will get easier :)
Thank you for this video. I Googled how to tie a slip knot and a selection of this video, dedicated to how to tie a slip knot, came up. I liked how you did it slowly, and explained what you were doing as you it. Thanks for taking the time to make this!💙
You are very welcome :)
Thank you so much! This is exactly what my late stepmother taught me twenty years ago, and I just couldn't remember. 💗
You are very welcome :)
I had to watch this video a few times but it’s amazing I really recommend this
Thank you :)
Wow! Super easy! Can’t believe how much faster it is than knitting! Thank you for this video! 💗
You're very welcome :)
I am knitter too and I found that too. :) yay
Thank you so much
I am am sixty one years old from India
Your videos are amazing, taught me crochet at this age
It is not very perfect yet, but I am trying
Thank you
This is literally my New Years resolution, well it’s a big part, lmao i wanna stop drinking and smoking so i wanna learn how to crochet to keep my mind focused on something more productive-ish and help me keep my sobriety🙏🏽💯
Hope it's going well! It's a great strategy to have something positive to do when cutting out something negative.
Hey I'm getting sober this year as well! How is it going for you? I'm thinking about buying some yarn and trying this crocheting thing. Would be nice to have something to do at the couch.
@@teshn1229 it was a big help for sure! I’ve been slacking late tbh but I’m tryna get back to it and also start back reading
@@zupik1894 honestly it was really nice when i was sticking to it, was a good way of keeping my hands busy other than rolling up every minute🙄and kept my eyes focused on something other than the tv🤷🏽♀️& i have been slacking recently but I’m getting back to it & you def can too…idk how long you’ve been sober but even if you get the urge (which is normal) just try to stay strong 💪🏽
@@jamuslaudat1716 i'm sober since January 7. There are ups and downs for sure. The key is to keep being focused on the ups.
Omg I've nailed this class. Previously, I couldn't even do the slip knot from the step by step diagrams in booklet thingy I got with my crochet hooks. Now I'm cooking on gas. Going to my next class now. 🏃🏻♂️💨 See you all at lunch.
A few years ago I tried to crochet but found it difficult but a couple of weeks ago I thought I’d give it another go and thanks to your video I can now crochet a basic square so the next step for me is a granny square, thank you for showing me how to crochet.
You’re very welcome 😊
Hi 👋I am sorry if this sounds weird but you wrote such a nice and interesting comment on here and I like it. Obviously you are a positive person. If it’s alright with you I’d love to be friends.
Finally! A tutorial that makes sense! Thank you! I now have a chain. Off to find lesson 2!! 🎉
You're welcome :)
