I'm with Lorraine Brown on that one. Thank you soooo VERY much Bella Coco for your tutorial(s) . ALL of them! They're awesome and you are a lovely Lady teacher.💐💐💐💐 I actually crocheted few different flowers thanks to you and subscribed long ago, but that tension on a yarn was my nemesis which still creeps up when working with different yarns, but I'm doing much better then ever before🙂
I love the tip about doing your foundation chain with a bigger hook and then going back to the smaller hook for the rest of your work. That's where I tend to be too tight and then it messes everything up. I'm new to crochet so this video was very helpful to me. Thanks!
Thanks for the informative video, it was very helpful.I'm a beginner and left handed! Love the left handed tutorials. As a left hander, would like some tips on how to follow a simple pattern grid :)
I'm a lefty also and it seems in everything regarding crafts the tutorials are all for right handed people which makes my work come out somewhat sloppy looking at times.
I use a bowl I got in 1975 from a Tupperware party..It fits all size of yarn Balls..( I make my yarn into Balls hand rolled..Loved the video on tips, Even after almost 50yrs of crocheting I can use tips!!!🤓🧶🧶🧶
Well thank you for showing me how to hold my yarn since I am a beginner in crocheting well I'm going to try that stuff see if it's going to work for me a my name is Francis Smith I am just learning how to crochet
Well thanks you should me a better videos and other people how to hold my yarn better since I'm a beginner and crocheting I'm going to try what you just showed me my name is Francis Smith beginner and crocheted
Thank you so much for the last tip, that was exactly the issue I have alot. It's either to right to pull thru our to big. I can't believe such a little tip such as that has made such a difference in the way my crocheting looks. Thank you very much
Yes! I really struggle with tension, specifically on my foundation chains and finger cramping. Going to try your tips. Thank you for all the great info.
The last one was helpul for me. I am a beginner and I sometimes hold the yarn too lose and exactly what you showed happens to me, the stitch too loose. I wish you would make a video on how to find the end stitches, I have a hard time with that, I end up guessing and my worked ends are always a mess and un even. Thank you for your videos!!
Thankyou!! ❤️ I've literally only just started to learn how to crochet 2 days ago and I'm struggling with holding the yarn but your video has helped me out so much! I can't thank you enough for this tutorial ❤️
Thank you so much! I've been crocheting for a while now (you taught me how to!) and with certain yarns my tension goes to pot. I will make yarn cakes with everything now! xx
Thanks so very much for making the tension part far clearer for me Sarah-Jayne, I've been battling with this for months but just couldn't get it right. Thank Heaven I saw your post on FB earlier, it's amazing the difference I've made in just a few minutes! Very many thanks indeed xx
Yes, very helpful, thank you!! This is where my problem lies as well as that I don't crochet very consistently. That's only because of my frustration. Btw, where did you get the yarn bowl, love it?
THANK YOU!! I have watched a few beginner videos & no one has mentioned this. The correct tention is what I am struggling with. Today is my FIRST day trying from RUclips videos. I subscribed to yours & want to thank YOU again for taking the time to explain this! I look forward to watching more of your videos 👍😄
Thank you for this and other videos of your's that have helped me a lot. The advice here helped me with this problem. I didn't get a yarn bowl (couldn't find one) but i did find something like it. A yarn dispenser from yarn valet and it has worked very well for me. The next thing i am going to get is a yarn winder. My family is often impressed and proud of me. And when they asked were i learned how to do it i point to your's and other's videos, tutorials etc.
I LOVE your channel. I’m very new to crochet(about 2 months in) but your tutorials have gotten me very far so far. You’re a very very effective instructor! I love that you give UK and US stitch names because I’m in the US and would not have known the difference otherwise. And finally, you have a very lovely voice and way of presenting things. It makes it more like a story than a lesson. Thank you for your posts and your help!
I just started crocheting today, spent an hour trying to figure it out. Your videos are fabulous! Very helpful! Will definitely watch everything and try everything
Great tips! I’m an absolute beginner. This is probably totally illegal, but the only way I could get my starting chain right, was to set it up on a knitting needle and then continue with a crochet hook! I’m an experienced knitter!
Thank you those tips are very useful to me and im thinking now i should make yarn cakes to make crochet a lot easier. As i am 12, i have small hands so i put the yarn only just inbetween my pointer finger and middle finger. Then i tighten my fingers a tiny bit... Its just easier for me. I also make real cakes so im sure yarn cakes would be easier :)
I've tried far too many times to hold the yarn the way you do but it's just not comfortable. I have to wrap the yarn once around my ring finger and then put it up over my middle finger. I hold my work with my index finger and thumb.
i loved the tips. i do do some of the "nots" , i hold my yarn all differently. Maybe i need to try wrapping it around my little finger, not sure. Thanks Bella.
I've been crocheting 10 years now and thought 'Back to basics' and found this lovely video to encourage me. Thank you, Sarah-Jane, for your wonderful tuition. These tips are great!
How I chuckled when I saw this post come up. I have watched it quite a few times before, but still struggle at times. Tonight I've been working on the wavy border, but found that if I put my hook into the correct stitch as shown, then it all looks very gappy, but if I put each stitch into every dc stitch, although it is a lovey shape , my work starts to buckle. At loss at to whether to 'frog' and find another border or carry on knowing 'frustratingly' that what I am doing is wrong. :(
+Bella Coco Hi, it's not a blanket as such but I have crocheted up a chair seat cover in linen stitch. I love the finish but I did do a DC edge but am wondering if I ought to do an sc followed by dc edge before trying the wavy edge again. Many thanks, I do appreciate your help.
Very good video! I've been crocheting since 14 NIW I'm 70 . Ive forgotten a lot when I stopped because if wrist pain. I'm just getting back into it due to COVID LOCKDOWNS and your tips were an excellent reminder. Thankyou dear.
I started 3 days ago thanks to Covid-19 and I love it! I have be practising non stop. My tension is worse at the foundation row. Also when I get into the flow, I lose the odd stitch as I struggle to judge that first 'V' in a row. Practice makes perfect! Thank you for your great videos xx
@@bellacococrochet I have surprised myself how time flies by! Today I have followed your hexagon tutorial and solid granny square tutorial which are great too! I just need to read a pattern, as the videos make it so much easier, however reading a pattern is a real challenge I find :) x
Thanks for the great tips, could you tell me where I might find the yarn holders as my biggest problem is having my yarn roll all over the floor. Thanks. Annie x
One thing I notice I do different to ever crochet video tutorial I watch is, I use my left hand that holds the wool to do all the work. It hold the wool and wraps the wool around the crochet hook, while my hook hand stays still. Apart from inserting and pulling through, my hook hand doesn't do much.
I have been crocheting for over 20 years and this video has been extremely helpful as I can see a lot of things I have been doing "wrong". Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi, I’m a beginner, just wanted to ask you, because I’m only just doing lots of practicing, what wool to use?? I’ve just brought some cheap Dk wool, is this ok til I know what I’m doing, then buy decent stuff to try to make something??? Love you tutorials and there have really helped me, any help would be appreciated love Tracy x💜
Thank you so much 😊 Acrylic DK yarn is absolutely fine, for starting out but also once you've had more practise 😊 You will see from my tutorials that I use a lot of premium acrylic brands such as Stylecraft Special DK and Paintbox Simply DK. You can move onto more premium yarns such as cotton or keep using acrylic.
Hi Bella I am from Canada and was wondering if you could help me, my girlfriend in the UK sent me a beautiful book Iasabella Kessedjian and the terminology is in Uk I understand the differences but she is very confusing I don't know what she means by 1 ch,2dc in the 1st dc,1 dc in each next dc,4ch =16 I know it's not your pattern and I have written to this lady but she doesn't reply,I have tried to ask a few people and they won't help me either so I will understand if you can't but I am hoping you can. Thank you
Hi Keitha 🙂 I have a conversion chart here: ecs.page.link/pKEWK which should help you. A UK double crochet is the same as a US single crochet, so what the pattern is asking you to do is begin by chaining 1, and then making two single crochet stitches in the first stitch directly underneath the chain you have just made. You would then need to make 1 single crochet in each of the next stitches and end by chaining 4 - you should end with a total of 16 stitches. Hope this helps 🙂
I have 3 panels for a cardigan but the tension isn’t the same with the back and front panels. I’m assuming I need to redo the front panels to equal the back (or vice versa) but I’m worried I won’t get the tension the same. It’s all DC stitches but working in front and back loops. I’ve been crocheting nearly 5 years but mainly small things but I really want to make myself cardigans but I’m struggling to get the tension uniform.
I have a tutorial with some hints and tips for tension here: ruclips.net/video/SRVA_4uNsNw/видео.html but have you tried blocking all of your pieces? If you've used cotton or wool yarn you can wet block it by soaking it and then laying it flat, but for acrylic you will need to steam block. You can do this by pinning your pieces into shape and then using an iron to carefully blast steam at them (be careful to not let the iron actually touch the yarn or it will melt!). You should find that once you've blocked them to the correct measurements that they match up a lot better 😊
Good tips; thank you...🙂 On another note, I was wondering where you might have gotten your yarn bowl; I've been trying to find a nice, large-sized bowl like yours but have not been able to find one (if you don't mind)...😉
thank you so much for all the videos. I am just beginning to learn and you have helped so much. My mother has passed, she would be so proud of me thanks to you! God bless you! Anita from North Carolina.... U.S.
Hi Krissie. Great to meet you. I hope you have a wonderful time with it like I have. I made 30 Christmas gifts for my family this year. And now working on things for myself. Videos are the best way to learn for me.... Im still learning so much! Keep in touch. Have a great day😆
hey! just wanted to ask is it okay if i use an acrylic brand for crocheting? i was looking for premium acrylic brands, which i didn’t find so will it make much of a difference if i used an acrylic brand?
Just remember that crochet is patience and practice, you may need to try different ways to hold your yarn so that you can find the way which suits you best :)
Hi Im having problems with rows on a swatch. The sts work out across, but no matter which hook I try I cannot get the amount of rows for the gauge!The gauge is 16 sts worked into back loop only + 14 rows = 4 inches? What am I doing wrong please?
I have quite the clutch grip on the yarn, but even tension. Gauge swatches, hook changes...I do what I need to get it proportionate. After that, it's about sizing. Always block! You'd be surprised how much that helps. Might look perfect, and then after calculating gauge POST blocking, you get a different result. Play with it, and do what doesn't make you too uncomfortable while doing it.
Hi Sarah-Jayne, thanks for all the tips, could you tell me what the biggest size ball of yarn you can use with the yarn winder please. I wondered if you are able to use a whole 100gm ball or if it only suitable for smaller sizes. Thanks again. PS Nice to know someone else with the same spelling of Jayne.
Wonderful video and very helpful. Im knitting about 35 yers and in days I still have problem with a tension. One day I found article that said if Im a very nervous and anxious person can affect in way knit tension, is true? Thanks
Hello, I just started crocheting and I find it hard making my stitches even, when I'm doing double crochet, I have trouble looping the yarn through, it gets stuck in the middle yarn.
It sounds as though you could be holding the yarn a little tight - tension is something that will get better the more you practise 😊 For now I would experiment with different hook sizes to see if a larger hook is easier for you. Aluminium hooks can also be smoother and easier to use than plastic hooks, for example.
I love all the Utube Crochet learning about Crocheting, all the Different Stitches etc. These are the Best videos to learn off of. Thanks To all the Video Makers and Uribe. This is the BEST WAY TO LEARN. 😁💗
Hi, when ever I make a round placemat it always gets wavy, I do my best to make sure that I am following the correct pattern but still... can you pls help..
Sarah, I do love your tutorials. I am going to ask if you can do a tutorial for a cape that comes below your waist with armholes and a button at the top of the cape. I have searched everywhere and cannot find one. Many years ago I used to make one but alas the pattern is gone. I have a friend that wants me to make her one. I could sure use your help. I am not smart enough to make a pattern. Thank you so much. Please let me know if you will do it.
This video was very helpful. Now I understand why my stitches are consistent. Thank you very much. Do you have a video on how to learn to count stitches?
Hi there! I've just recently started crocheting and I'm still having a lot of difficulty doing the slip stitch. I'm not sure where to insert to do the slip stitch and when i do do the slip stitch, I get an extra chain? I could really use some help. What am I doing wrong?
thanks for the nice video. please let me know that while thread crocheting, what would be the tension? little bit tight than yarn or just same like yarn? cz, while tread crocheting, if i keep the tension like yarn, shape of doily get wonky... & if i tighten, my fingers started paining....pl. guide
This was very helpful. I hate having to make multiply pieces like granny squares to attach cause me pieces almost never turn out the same size. I don't think I have an established tension so I will focus more on how I am holding my yarn. Thank you
Hi Sarah hope you can help me I’m disabled have not got a lot of streath in my right hand I use my right hand to hold the crochet hook and the yarn in left hand but can’t hold yarn right to get tension right please help
Thanks Sarah! The tips are very helpful. You are a great teacher and I learn very well as you know how to explain things in great detail!!!!

I started putting my yarn in a small laundry basket. It stays in there and I can still pull off what I need.
Bella Coco, Could u please tell where I could purchase one of the yarn bowls u demonstrated in your RUclips video Thank You....
Katie Murphy just use a stainless steel colander - you can pull through multiple yarn colours from the different holes.
Yes, very helpful, thank you!! This is where my problem lies as well as that I don't crochet very consistently. That's only because of my frustration.
Btw, where did you get the yarn bowl, love it?

You are very welcome :)
Where did you get that Yarn holder from? :) Thanks
Genuinely feeling like I'm never going to get the right amount of tension. There sure is a lot of tension in my forehead though
Tension comes with practice so the more you crochet the easier it will become :)
Tip # 5 wonderful.
A colander works just as well as a yarn holder :-)

I have quite the clutch grip on the yarn, but even tension. Gauge swatches, hook changes...I do what I need to get it proportionate. After that, it's about sizing. Always block! You'd be surprised how much that helps. Might look perfect, and then after calculating gauge POST blocking, you get a different result.
Play with it, and do what doesn't make you too uncomfortable while doing it.
Excellent!
Hi Sarah-Jayne, thanks for all the tips, could you tell me what the biggest size ball of yarn you can use with the yarn winder please. I wondered if you are able to use a whole 100gm ball or if it only suitable for smaller sizes. Thanks again. PS Nice to know someone else with the same spelling of Jayne.

Hello, I just started crocheting and I find it hard making my stitches even, when I'm doing double crochet, I have trouble looping the yarn through, it gets stuck in the middle yarn.
It sounds as though you could be holding the yarn a little tight - tension is something that will get better the more you practise 😊 For now I would experiment with different hook sizes to see if a larger hook is easier for you. Aluminium hooks can also be smoother and easier to use than plastic hooks, for example.
@@bellacococrochet Thank you! I'll practice more and watch your videos for reference☺️
Thank you for the tips. Do you have a pattern for a stuffed penguin?

Hi, when ever I make a round placemat it always gets wavy, I do my best to make sure that I am following the correct pattern but still... can you pls help..
Sarah, I do love your tutorials. I am going to ask if you can do a tutorial for a cape that comes below your waist with armholes and a button at the top of the cape. I have searched everywhere and cannot find one. Many years ago I used to make one but alas the pattern is gone. I have a friend that wants me to make her one. I could sure use your help. I am not smart enough to make a pattern. Thank you so much. Please let me know if you will do it.
This video was very helpful. Now I understand why my stitches are consistent. Thank you very much. Do you have a video on how to learn to count stitches?
Hi there! I've just recently started crocheting and I'm still having a lot of difficulty doing the slip stitch. I'm not sure where to insert to do the slip stitch and when i do do the slip stitch, I get an extra chain? I could really use some help. What am I doing wrong?
thanks for the nice video. please let me know that while thread crocheting, what would be the tension? little bit tight than yarn or just same like yarn? cz, while tread crocheting, if i keep the tension like yarn, shape of doily get wonky... & if i tighten, my fingers started paining....pl. guide
This was very helpful. I hate having to make multiply pieces like granny squares to attach cause me pieces almost never turn out the same size. I don't think I have an established tension so I will focus more on how I am holding my yarn. Thank you
