    girl trust me even tho crochet seems like it takes forever it def isn’t as long as knitting. i do both and just to put it in perspective it took me literally redoing a my first crochet project completely 10 times to learn. just don’t quit

      What I always do when I have a lot of stitches, like 50 or above; I place a stitchmarker on every 10th stitch so you only have to count the stitchmarkers! It helps a lot!

I found a bunch of crochet stuff in my basement yesterday, so I'm gonna finally start! It's intimidating getting into new skills, especially something like this where you're, like, materializing fabric out of string, so it's nice to see the process of her first project!

      Yeah do it ! I've started last month and I love it so much. Is definitely a bit hard at the beginning because you need to get accustomed to holding the thread and all but then it's easy breezy lemon squeezy. Just get crappy cheap yarn to begin with so you won't be too sad if you mess up and all your fears will go away !

    Hey there! Crocheter of about 2-3 years here (I’ve lost track). Just wanted to say that you did an amazing job for this being your first project! People usually start with just beanies/scarfs, but the fact you started out with a tank top is sick!
    If you ever wanted a tip about stitch counting, use a stitch marker! Stitch markers are a life saver when keeping count of your stitches. It also wouldn’t hurt to write down stitch counts/rows when working on a project too. I do it all the time!

  • @moniakopp2774
    @moniakopp2774 3 года назад +39

    Pretty impressive for a first project. Using stitch markers really help keep your rows nice and even. Safety pins work really good for that. I had some cute plastic ones, that unfortunately broke the first time I used them. I like the color yarn you used and the second top really came out good.

    It looks amazing omg!!! Especially for your first time crocheting. The only reason it looks -a littlleee- lopsided is due to your chain foundation. Just make sure all of your chains are even, and you may want to consider using some sort of a stitch marker. It looks really cute!
