Jayda InStitches one thing i find to be one of the most useful items in my tools is embroidery bobbins (the plastic ones). When getting to the point i need to ball up a partial skein i use these to write on sticky dots or even post it notes all the yarn id info i might need later should i decide i want more of that yarn or to just know wt of yarn and fiber when doing scrap projects. I can honestly say this has been a true game changer for me when having to try to find discontinued yarns. I figure that i will use this for yarn swaps between friends and myself on my yarn crafters for charity page on fb for charity projects. They are simple to attatch by running the tail of the ball theough and then use the slit to anchor the yarn tail or use a safety pin to attach the bobbin to the ball. Happy crafting all. Thank you j Jayda for all your time. 😃
Jayda InStitches Hey Jayda my brother_in_law just subscribed to your channel. He wants to learn to crochet. I've shown him once, but he is currently visiting Virginia from Puerto Rico for a week only. He will be watching your videos. We'll be practicing a little each day until he leaves on Saturday. I'm so excited.
@@cassidy3294 That's good. Yeah just make sure you count your stitches. Otherwise it's not going to come out the way it supposed to be. And look on the yarn instructions it tells you what size crochet hook to use. When people on you tube is making something they tell you what size hooks to use. That way just make sure you have the right hook size as the yarn.
I learned how to crochet from my neighbor (with her hook and yarn) when I was about 12 and she was probably 10. Then I went to the dime store and bought one skein of yarn and one (F?) hook. That was all I needed for a very long time.... 😏🤔😉😁
I taught my self with the help of Utube . I am disabled and I was struggling but I was bored. Now I have come up with a pattern for a cot sized quilt using Bernat baby wool and now I've found your star and moon pillows I will be making up sets for Christmas gifts. Thanks jayda I purchased an expensive set and have added a few really big sizes. I think beginners just need a cheap settl start but I think investing in a good set with rubber handles . Xo
Jayda InStitches I figure I have time and I've been making these blankets for my grandbabies and they can only need so many . I love giving gifts but it's not cheap to crochet it cost me $60 australian for one cot blanket . Now as much as I love giving I simply can't afford to so I am going to sell them to the people I know that want them . It's funny crochet seems old hat to our youth but so far my son and his friends having babies all,love this wool so i am helping them out really. Anyway thanks so much I do love your channel xoxoxo
I think that's a great ideal,. I heard my friend wants to learn how to crochet a scarf... that will be the perfect gift,. for her.. I crochet when I was a teen back in the 70's now I can also knit,. its relaxing,.. never thought about fixing a gift basket for someone,.😊☺👍 thank you... 😊
I found your videos while searching how to make a dishcloth... you are my go to for crochet projects... I enjoyed crocheting so much I introduced my granddaughter to it... we did the craft store shopping for her first “kit” as a Christmas gift... my granddaughter is really good at crocheting... she can do stitches I can’t and she loves crocheting... thank you for your encouraging words and videos...
I found your tutorial for granny squares two years ago, it is the best information around, so clear and precise, thank you, I now crochet every day, I have made two double bedspreads and numerous shawls, such an enjoyable hobby.... Everyone should go to your tutorial, even I can crochet now!!
Ευχαριστώ πολύ για τα υπέροχα και τις εύκολες οδηγίες που μου δινεις...έχω κανει πολλά πραγματα με δικές σου οδηγίες για δωράκια και αρέσουν πολύ!!!!!!!!!!και παλι σ ευχαριστώ πολύ...είσαι πολύ κατατοπιστική στη δουλεια σου...μας βοηθάς παρα πολύ!!!συνέχισε όπως είσαι και με αυτό το υπέροχο χαμόγελο !!!
Good morning Jayda thanks the website you sent me was easy to find. And I did learn how to make a baby slipper. I want to thank you. Have a blessed day.
Wow! Thanks for this video! I am learning a lotnof grown ups ánd kids to crochet and you just confirmed to me I do things the right way! I even let a friend of mine start with a granny....
Thank you soooo much for teaching me to crochet,I started with your video on granny squares,and now i am hooked!(No punn intended). I live in South Africa,and so wished we had the same yarn here,but I use similar yarn compositions.Thank you,thank you,thank you for all your tutorials! You are awesome!!!!
I started crocheting since I was just 7years old. My grandmother showed me. And now I am showing my 2 girls ages 7 and 9. But sometimes I'm using the hooks that they are most comfortable to them 5.0 and 5.5 so this would be good for them to have their own hooks to start sharing. Love your tutorials. ☺
This was very helpful I'm 9 and I've always wanted to learn but she had no idea what to do or what you need so she went on RUclips and saw you and she said "THAT VIDEO WAS SO HELPFUL"! Thanks for all the help
Jayda, thank you! I’ve learned a lot from you and made myself and my kids some cute socks, hats..etc. thank you for all the great tip and you are the best teacher
Hi, Jayda ! I am watching this in Oct. 2019. I taught myself to crochet in July 1971 (a year into marriage). I bought a size 1 steel hook & a ball of crochet thread to learn on...nope, not the larger aluminum hooks & not yarn. I find G & H are the hooks I used most often for yarn. I also use steel hooks because I crochet w/crochet thread. I didn't use place markers until this year !!!! I find they are very , VERY helpful when creating a long starting chain. It is SO easy to lose count....but if you put a place marker every (let's say) 20 chains, then it's easy to re-count , much quicker & takes out the frustration & possibly dirty looks shot at the person who dared to speak while you were counting ! LOL And oh, keeping a journal of projects.....I haven't & regret that so much. I have always taken pictures...but I wish (oh how I wish) I'd always written down what I made, the yarn I used, what size hook, what colors, what pattern & what magazine the pattern was in or what You Tube channel, etc.
I loved this! I did a variation of this for my two daughters. The only addition I'd make is an inexpensive reusable shopping bag/tote. You can find these all over for about a dollar in various patterns/designs, and the often have a small pocket to store all the hooks, scissors, needles, tape measure, etc.
Omg in your craft room tour I love the big bright star and I love all your beautiful projects and your beautiful collection thank you so very very much for teaching me how to make so many beautiful projects Catherine
I love to watch your channel. ...you are so helpful and a great teacher. Is there anything you CAN'T do? lol I really enjoy watching and listening to your bubbly self. You make my day...God Bless! !!
My first time seeing this video. I've offered crochet lessons and thought of compiling starter kits like this. I would include H, I, and J hooks, plastic stitch markers that close like safety pins (which you can get in volume for very little money), and cotton yarn, and I would use a wash cloth pattern to teach single, half double, and double crochet. Alternately, an acrylic worsted weight yarn and a scarf pattern with different stitches. (Hmmm.....must write up some scarf ideas into an actual pattern......) For scissors, blunt-nosed craft scissors serve me just fine to this day.
I love the Boye Hooks, also Clover brand hooks with the soft handles. When I print a pattern, I find putting them in a plastic sheet protector with holes on the edges, keeps them neat and clean. Then I'll keep them neatly in a 3-ring binder. Always need a cute pair of scissors, too! I like a fun bag to keep my projects in. Easy for traveling, so a zipped pocket is a must, keeps all in it's place. Thank you, for your fun videos!
I have been following you for about a year. Every video and tutorial is delightfully done. You have a unique presence and I've gone back to this particular video for tips today, as I now have a couple of my own senior friends who are willing to get to know the crochet world. I am excited for them and will put together a simple starter kit and send them right to your website to teach themselves at whatever level and pace they choose. I cannot ever thank you enough for all that you do for the community and for giving us gentle persuasions that we can create and share the joy.
Hi Priscilla, we're so happy to hear you're sharing your love of crochet with some friends! Putting together kits for them will be a lot of fun :) Thank you so much for spending time with us!
Thanks Jayda. My sister and I were trying to put together a 'starter kit' like this for a 12 yr old boy. We were glad to find your video and see that we were on the right track. Thanks again!
Hi Becky! I remember that :) Goodness that seems like quite a while ago now...where is the time going? I guess your superstar cheerleader must be taller that me now?! * giggle *
Jayda InStitches Seriously! Time does fly. Yes, Julia is almost as tall as me (I'm 5' 3"). Cheer is on full swing again...her 7th season...can you believe it?!?! This season and one more to go, then it's high school time. Tomorrow is 9 years since little 3 1/2 year old Julia came to live with us. In true 12 year old almost teen fashion, we are celebrating with breakfast and shopping tomorrow. :)
Thank you so much !!! I shared this video on facebook to my husband and said "I need this gift!!!" I love your videos!!!! I am still learning and having problems holding the yarn. Once I get that I'm on my way to making so many of your patterns. oh yeah !!!!! :)
HI Tracy, thank you for sharing our video :) I hope hubby gets the hint LOL. Holding yarn is a very personal thing and I always say it's best not to think about it...just focus on making stitches and pretty soon your fingers will just work out for themselves how best to hold the yarn :)
Thank you for this video. I'm in crochet club at my school and every year we need to teach the new kids and this video really helps becuz I can inform them on what to get or not to get. :)
Thanks for all your help. I haven't got to watch a lot of them but I only know the granny square and the ripple. I wanted to learn and my Mother said she would not show me unless I did it right handed. Because I was lefthanded it frustrated her to help me. So I finally learned what I do know right handed now. My elbow gets tired because of the way I hold my hook.lol
Hi Jayda. I learned how to crochet through your generous video instructions but I would be so elated to receive this beginners kit from a friend or family member. Crochet has almost become somewhat of an addiction now LOL. TYFS xo
I love this idea. Never would have thought of it. You are wonderful.Please keep up your ideas and videos. I look so forward to friday's to see what you are making next. Thank You so much.
Great video! Informative and tips galore. Wish I had a video like this last summer when I started to learn crochet via YT and library. Yes there are beginner-focused videos, blogs, and books by wonderful generous experienced crocheters. However your presentation and explanations are perfect for us newbies. We want to hurry up and be crocheting pretty things. We enthusiastically start to share our newfound hobby even though we are so new and inexperienced. Thanks Jayda!
Hi Jayda,can't believe you have been teaching for 20 years you look too young!these are great tips thanks so much for sharing your great talent,you are such a joy to watch l look forward to your videos 😄😄
Hi Jayda. I must say that just your upbeat personnality makes a non crocheter want to learn! Im wondering if u have crazy cool slippers that my 23 yr old daughter wants me to crochet her. Thank you for making crocheting fun!
Hi Veronic! Thank you for watching :) We have a great slipper tutorial that you might want to try! You'll find it here: ruclips.net/video/qbDXFmIdIEo/видео.html
Thank you for sharing Jayda! My daughter is about to turn 8 and we have practiced the chain stitch for what seems like forever but I have been unsure of what to have her do next. I will definitely have her do a granny square next, it is the perfect next step and is one of the first things I learned from you years ago. Also I think that making her own crochet set would be a perfect gift next month for her birthday considering she always uses my stuff ;) Thank you again and keep crafting!
Hi Jennifer, I think having her own tools will make her feel really special (and like she's graduated to something a little more fitting of her age ;) Have fun putting together the kit!
I'm teaching my nieces to crochet, and they pass the info to groups at their church!! I gave them lots of plastic hooks and mini balls of yarn (DYI) from Walmart.
Thank you Jayda for answering my questions about initial tools for crocheting. It was so helpful and gave me the perspective from a professional perspective.
Nice video Jayda! I would also recommend writing in the first page of the journal for them a list of websites or videos for them to look at and watch. Sites that explain basic crochet terms and a beginner's guide along with something like Ravelry to ooh and ahh at. As far videos, give them crochet channels and beginner videos. Tell them you emailed them links or share links on RUclips that teach them how to chain, single crochet, double crochet, etc. Have a good day!
Hi Everyone! Be sure to check out the description box for all the links, including the Vest I'm wearing in this video! Thank you all for watching :)

Hi Dee, great suggestion :) Thank you for watching!
Very beautiful white vest
Jayda InStitches Hey Jayda my brother_in_law just subscribed to your channel. He wants to learn to crochet. I've shown him once, but he is currently visiting Virginia from Puerto Rico for a week only. He will be watching your videos. We'll be practicing a little each day until he leaves on Saturday. I'm so excited.
Well I am a covid 19 crochet person. New to it. I wish I would’ve learned when I was younger to crochet many beautiful clothes I see on RUclips.
I'm thinking of starting , any advice ?
@@cassidy3294 That's good. Yeah just make sure you count your stitches. Otherwise it's not going to come out the way it supposed to be. And look on the yarn instructions it tells you what size crochet hook to use. When people on you tube is making something they tell you what size hooks to use. That way just make sure you have the right hook size as the yarn.
@@cassidy3294 Me too. I am thinking about making my own crochet hooks as well too.
2:14 2 most used hooks (metal or bamboo 4 mm)
4:00 yarn needles(Plastic, bigger one)
6:05 Scissors (already have)
6:58 measuring tape (might not get it)
8:30 Safety pins or paper clips (medium)
13:18 yarn (acrylic or DK weight)
Fist crochet pieces: GRANNY SQUARE
My daughter now wants to learn too! Thanks for this crochet gift idea!
Hi Angela, Thank you for watching :)

Great information Jada!! Teaching my grandchildren to crochet! They love it and are getting very creative on their own! 7 year olds!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Linda, that's wonderful!
Crochet ing is relaxing to me
I love the idea of the beginner crochet kits. Think I might do that also.
Teaching my kids now! Cool!
I started crocheting since I was just 7years old. My grandmother showed me. And now I am showing my 2 girls ages 7 and 9.

Hi Denise, I think they'd really like having their own hooks, it's sort of a special tool to have :)
This was very helpful I'm 9 and I've always wanted to learn but she had no idea what to do or what you need so she went on RUclips and saw you and she said "THAT VIDEO WAS SO HELPFUL"! Thanks for all the help
Hi Robb! Thank you for watching 😊
Love your happy videos!
Love following your fun videos
Jayda, thank you! I’ve learned a lot from you and made myself and my kids some cute socks, hats..etc. thank you for all the great tip and you are the best teacher
I Love Your Video tutorials! Very easy to understand. Thanks For Your Generosity! Blessings 💯🦉
Hi Sandie, Thank you for watching :)
What a nice gift I would sure love to have it
Hi, Jayda ! I am watching this in Oct. 2019. I taught myself to crochet in July 1971 (a year into marriage). I bought a size 1 steel hook & a ball of crochet thread to learn on...nope, not the larger aluminum hooks & not yarn. I find G & H are the hooks I used most often for yarn. I also use steel hooks because I crochet w/crochet thread. I didn't use place markers until this year !!!! I find they are very , VERY helpful when creating a long starting chain. It is SO easy to lose count....but if you put a place marker every (let's say) 20 chains, then it's easy to re-count , much quicker & takes out the frustration & possibly dirty looks shot at the person who dared to speak while you were counting ! LOL And oh, keeping a journal of projects.....I haven't & regret that so much. I have always taken pictures...but I wish (oh how I wish) I'd always written down what I made, the yarn I used, what size hook, what colors, what pattern & what magazine the pattern was in or what You Tube channel, etc.
I loved this! I did a variation of this for my two daughters. The only addition I'd make is an inexpensive reusable shopping bag/tote. You can find these all over for about a dollar in various patterns/designs, and the often have a small pocket to store all the hooks, scissors, needles, tape measure, etc.
Hi Topaz, that's a great suggestion! You're right, having a handy bag to carry all our new goodies around in is a great addition!
Omg in your craft room tour I love the big bright star and I love all your beautiful projects and your beautiful collection thank you so very very much for teaching me how to make so many beautiful projects

Thank you for watching, Christinia :)
This is a great idea! The granny square was the first thing I crocheted and how I found you, Jayda, here on RUclips. It's a great place to start!

Hi Sidonae, I'm so glad you found this helpful! I created a little knitting club when I was in school for something to do at lunch with my friends :)
Thanks for all your help. I haven't got to watch a lot of them but I only know the granny square and the ripple. I wanted to learn and my Mother said she would not show me unless I did it right handed. Because I was lefthanded it frustrated her to help me. So I finally learned what I do know right handed now. My elbow gets tired because of the way I hold my hook.lol
I'm a 1st time subscriber. Sure do like your suggestions and positive attitude.
Hi Lynn, welcome to the big, crafty family!
Hi Jayda. I learned how to crochet through your generous video instructions but I would be so elated to receive this beginners kit from a friend or family member. Crochet has almost become somewhat of an addiction now LOL. TYFS xo
Hi Cynthia, there's something awfully tantalizing about new hooks and yarn, not matter how much of the stuff we've managed to sock away!
Love, love, love this idea. Thank you!
I love this idea. Never would have thought of it. You are wonderful.Please keep up your ideas and videos. I look so forward to friday's to see what you are making next. Thank You so much.

Jayda, love your bubbly personality. So much fun to listen to you. Hope to try a lot of your patterns. My first project to make was a Granny Square. 😊
Hi Carolyn, that's one of the first successful things I ever crocheted and I haven't stopped making them since :)
Hi Jayda. I must say that just your upbeat personnality makes a non crocheter want to learn! Im wondering if u have crazy cool slippers that my 23 yr old daughter wants me to crochet her. Thank you for making crocheting fun!
Hi Veronic! Thank you for watching :) We have a great slipper tutorial that you might want to try! You'll find it here: ruclips.net/video/qbDXFmIdIEo/видео.html
I love your videos, thank you.
great information thank you
Thank you for sharing Jayda! My daughter is about to turn 8 and we have practiced the chain stitch for what seems like forever but I have been unsure of what to have her do next. I will definitely have her do a granny square next, it is the perfect next step and is one of the first things I learned from you years ago. Also I think that making her own crochet set would be a perfect gift next month for her birthday considering she always uses my stuff ;)
Thank you again and keep crafting!
Hi Jennifer, I think having her own tools will make her feel really special (and like she's graduated to something a little more fitting of her age ;) Have fun putting together the kit!
Love to watch your channel! I learn new things every time. You are very energetic ( just like me ) LoL
Hi Beverly! Thank you for watching :)
I'm teaching my nieces to crochet, and they pass the info to groups at their church!! I gave them lots of plastic hooks and mini balls of yarn (DYI) from Walmart.
Hi Maria, that's great :) Such a fun thing to do with our friends and family!
Yes,I will check out the vest it is very cute.😆
Thank you Jayda for answering my questions about initial tools for crocheting. It was so helpful and gave me the perspective from a professional perspective.
Excellent advice
Thank you so much for sharing. Great ideas for Christmas gifts.
I'm just learning. So I'm going to try to find all the stuff. Thanks
Super idea Jayda, love the vest you are wearing...
Hi Aimee, thank you :)
I love your work
great tips! I'm really enjoying your videos.
Nice video Jayda! I would also recommend writing in the first page of the journal for them a list of websites or videos for them to look at and watch. Sites that explain basic crochet terms and a beginner's guide along with something like Ravelry to ooh and ahh at. As far videos, give them crochet channels and beginner videos. Tell them you emailed them links or share links on RUclips that teach them how to chain, single crochet, double crochet, etc. Have a good day!
Hi Lori, that is a sensational idea!! Rounding out the gift basket with some helpful resources is a super jump start into the craft :)
JAYDA, My friend in my head (So happy ax nd positive) love this
