Crochet Tension Tips Part 1

[@EnlightenedFlamingo]

Oh my goodness I needed this tip! Thank you! 💜🧶

[@MISTUHASTUNE]

I was having trouble with the opposite and it turns out I was skipping a loop every single time I was crocheting 😅

[@pullolullo]

same!!!

[@aleenasebastian7840]

You meant you missed one stitch from each row right? If so you should count in each row while doing each stitch. It really helped me in the beginning.

[@claryyy]

no i had the same problem when i first started crocheting and i actually missed the back loop of every stitch 😭

[@lyndiane7899]

Lol same. I was confused why mine got skinnier. Turned out my tension was so tight, the next stitches always hide under and i just skipped it 😂

[@arya.ex3]

Hello! I just wanted to thank you for sharing this! This was something that I used to struggle with when I first started crocheting and wouldn't understand why my edges always turned out to be that way. I tried again and again and finally realized that I was not only holding on the yarn too tightly but also not moving the hook downward properly. I learned to loosen the yarn and my grip on the hook and now looking back at it I'm glad I made that mistake as it helped me learn the proper way.
Lots of love!❤

[@breakUrNicoKnees]

I started doing this with magic circles without knowing bc i was tired of always fighting the first loop, but then noticed it actually helped my work to be a lot more even. Glad i did something right without knowing 😂

[@meliB32]

You have saved so many future projects for me! And I've been crocheting for 3 years 😭 THANK YOU!

[@rldesigns27]

I'm super new and this had been frustrating me SO MUCH. Thank you so much for this tip!

[@dispirited_official]

[@stjohnbaby]

Thank you SO much,I clearly needed this tip

[@Hanny08.y]

Thank you I been questioning if I'm doing it wrong

[@princessvanellope1489]

Thank u so much for this information i was like why this happening

[@Serveanthesia]

I have the exact opposite issue-my tension gets so much tighter as I go so I’ll be trying a double crochet foundation row this time instead of just a chain…we’ll see what happens!

[@totallydomestic433]

I was just thinking of trying this because my foundation row is always smaller than all other rows. Hope it fixes the problem.

[@csg_frencheska]

Nag ganyan din sakin ang kinagawa ko wala TRINAY ko nalang para matuto pero pwede din yan❤

[@trikta36]

I have about 50-60 rows done of my first blanket where I just kept going.. this makes me want to start a whole new project, at the same time, just to know I have my problem fixed! 😂
Every video is a problem I have!

[@NormAuParadis]

[@paolaacosta3263]

[@Sofinemikis]

Thank you for the tip!!

[@jonathancauley5345]

Does this work for every project?

[@drivinfool9902]

Thanks 🙏👍. This is a problem every time and ppl laugh at me. 😢

[@MariaDryna]

Can you video the fix?

[@shahediyad1066]

Really needed. That

[@Anniekitty1016]

Thank you 👍

[@moderna73]

Bless you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@bear.c13]

Are you able to fix it if you already made something

[@JustRomi13]

Hi! Thank you so much, I have a question. This keeps happening to me but the first rows are always longer and as I keep going they somehow curve (basically the opposite of the example shown in the vid). Do I have to go up a hook size or down a hook size? Would appreciate any help! ❤️

[@Look_at_my_bio]

Same 😅
I think you have to go up a hook size (I don't know)
I'll try both and tell you

[@LaurahVengwa]

THANK YOU❤❤❤

[@jisufairy]

is there anyway to fix the row once you’ve started??

[@NiNitosix]

Thank you!❤

[@keturahspencer]

I go up two hook sizes.

[@Iheartcoryxkenshinlol]

THANK U SO MUCH

[@zalmea3877]

Thank you 😅

[@TT-sj9ni]

What's foundation in Crothe?

[@zehanjo]

Thank you 🙏 😭

[@staceykemo3830]

Brilliant

[@MusicRecs4U]

Is a foundation row the same as the chain? 😭😭 or is it the second row or something

[@DaisyCoreXD]

What does foundation row mean??

[@mystxshuni]

I have the opposite problem. The center is always about an inch shorter than the edges. The corners of a piece is 10”in and the center is 8.8”in

[@cornerofthebarn4706]

I'm backwards. My issue is i seem to be loose when starting and get tighter as i get more comfortable with it. Any tips for that?

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Yes, same thing except reversed! Use a smaller hook for the starting chain and first row and a larger hook for the rest. I hope that helps!

[@Maniac_izzy]

Pls make pt 2

[@Rawan38108]

Hii, im a begginer in crochating and i have been struggling with a problem , when i try to crochet a plushie or something my circle turns into a bowl and that doesnt allow me to make it bigger also when im done it doesnt look like a ball its kinda tall and whatever , ive been really struggling so please if anyone knows how to solve the problem please reply to me!!!

[@alishaadhikari976]

Everything alright but I measured the row side of scarf and start single Crochet but after complete 6 rows after i measure again my it become too small size and little bit of edges not straight.... yesterday I remove the half project of yarn and it's not removing 😢...I wasted 3/4 crochet yarns.... plz help me ...

[@Julia-Alkarp]

I only have one hook, can i fix it any other way? Or do i need to buy a new one😅

[@LeahBartlett-kd9cb]

Yep, that is me!! 😅

[@ellieahearn4055]

Would the inverse of this also be true?

[@Hannah_2012nissa]

Explain why I didn't do this and did sc then at the end I did chain 1 and continue the row? And it was straight? And pro's don't even use this technique?

[@arby133]

i have a problem where my work always shrinks, like ill chain let's say 30 to make like 10 cm, i'll have 30 stitches all throughout but my whole square ends up 7 cm wide instead of the 10 cm i chained

[@LittleBambi777]

May be because your chain is too loose

[@arby133]

@@LittleBambi777 i dont have that issue anymore lol, if anyone's having this problem i think my tension was to tight

[@Iliapalmercreations]

Also it can be because it’s too loose! That can be very bad 😭 it will get smaller as you crochet

[@GATONATORR]

Mine does the exact opposite

[@aintgonnatolerateit2314]

This is what I’m really struggling with

[@blackknight1168]

What if I’m both too poor and too lazy to get a hook size up?

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Then you can try to intentionally crochet more loosely during your foundation row and then crochet normally for the rest of the project

[@blackknight1168]

@@SigoniMacaroni actual good answer that I was not expecting to get in such short notice too. Thanks!

[@ashleesaavedra4740]

What if it’s the opposite?

[@cheri6785]

Genius! Thank you😘

[@blackieja11]

Thank you I needed this information

[@bumblehoney7206]

I have bad tension overall, i feel ashamed i cant do it proper with the proper hook.

[@Supernatastic]

i went up several hook sizes and it was still curving 😢

[@Rayannajoness]

STOP IT. I thought i was counting wrong 💀😭

[@seriousyak4734]

Thank you for sharing. I thought it was because I was somehow adding stitches

[@sissas89]

Omg samee

[@aleenas9077]

I did go up a size but it didn't help at all

[@Jellybeansatdusk]

So smart!

[@JustPureChaosz]

I usually just stretch it😭

[@Daisy_Friends]

What’s a foundation row 😂

[@sylvanchemutai2825]

Thank you and may both sides of your pillow always remain cool.

[@bunnyboyVR]

It still does that when I use a 6 mm and then a 4.5 mm 🥲

[@qsyla1117]

Mine goes the other way in goes I. Slowly 😢

[@sq5]

You may be unintentionally missing stitches. Making sure that you count the stitches for each row should fix it!😊

[@arby133]

make sure you chain before beginning a new row, how many chains depends on the stitch, if you're doing that already then what Sq5 said!

[@h3stia4]

Just chain 1 before starting a new row.
