I agree, I wish children were taught crochet and knitting, the younger the better, it stays with you. I am 56, my mum taught me the basics of knitting when I was about 10, but I taught myself with the help of RUclips tutorials to crochet 4 weeks ago, and it saddens me that I hadn’t learnt before. I wish schools offered for people to come in and teach, after school for free, or something like that.
It turned out SO cute! I love it! I couldn't agree more about crochet being good for our mental health. It's been a great help with my depression and it's so rewarding to see my finished creations. I hope you enjoyed your time home.
My tip to you as someone who makes mostly wearables or blankets is STITCH MARKERS lol. I've been at this for a bit now and I still always put stitch markers in the first and last stitch. It will help not to accidentally increase or decrease.
I’m making a patchwork cardigan while watching this. Perfect video to Crochet and Chill with lol. Love the look of your sweater, you did such a good job! Thanks for showing me such an interesting new shop!❤🧶❤
New subscriber here! Just wanted to say I love how you showed the "mess ups" you made. Not everything goes smoothly the first time and a lot of RUclipsrs don't show that. Thanks for being a breath of fresh air!
I just started crocheting this week and I agree crocheting is a therapeutic hobby but some people told me my project was ugly so I kinda stop crocheting for two days now and been binge watching your videos hehe I hope I get the motivation soon but keep it up genna you are so sweet and to everyone who’s reading this, I hope yall are doing fine as well 🩵
That's so funny that yesterday I found your videos when I was working on my sweater! I love the wavy look! I might have to try it once I finish this color block sweater.
15:31 yes 😭 the first stitch i learned was a double crochet, so i got really used to yarning over before i put my hook into the next stitch, and then i learned arigurimi and it is literally single crochets EVERYWHERE. but now ive gotten used to that, I’ve gone too much the other way and keep forgetting to yarn over when doing a double crochet 😅
I love your positivity and excitement so much! This sweater is gorgeous! I honestly didn't realise sleeves were just 2 panels put together ahaha. I've wanted to make a sweater for so long but thought it would be a lot more complex. I might just have to go shopping for yarn 😝
It turned out amazing! I also mainly just do amigurumi and have been intimidated by clothing, but you've inspired me to branch out and try to make a sweater!! Thank you for another great video!! :)
Omg the sweater turned out so good! I just started crocheting 3 days ago. Whenever I practice my stitches I always watch your videos. You are such an inspiration to me! Keep up the good work!❤
I found your videos just the other day and I'm loving them and this one as well! the sweater turned out sooooo cute! little mistakes/unexpected results can turn out so well and make your sweater unique~
I really enjoyed this video and watching your journey in doing something new. Love your personality and energy! I watched your other videos and made your octopus several times...a great way to decompress after work. And I wouldn't have considering crocheting a sweater until now.
How you were on your first panel is how I was my first time making a blanket. Lol I have come a long way since then but loved the sweater. Amazing job!
Love the sweater also my grandparents live in New Jersy im visiting them tomarrow you do live closer i live in california but nice to know i have a crochet friends who also visits there.
13:35 bro I started about a month ago and making my first grid project rn!! I love watching your videos and crocheting it’s so nice and gets my mind of anything ! I’m almost 10 and really love your videos ! keep posting I hope you get to the top with millions of supporters one day!! ❤❤
I don’t like foundation chains either! Haha I can’t make them look right 😅 Currently making my first clothing as well (cardigan). hope it turns out as well as yours!
OH MY GOD! this is super super cuuuutttteeee !!!! Its so so nice on you !! Love this! i started watching your videos yesterday, and i'm addicted !!!! You are super cool and good ! much love from Sri Lanka ! 🎊🔥
New subscriber here. I too have that fear that I am going to run out of yarn. And unfortunately I have run out sometimes.😪 The sweater turned out great, looks good on you.👋
I do that too, I was crocheting while watching this video and when you said that I was like, IT'S NOT ONLY ME GUYS even tho I actually didn't say that to anyone 😭😭
I'm new to crochet, but I constantly forget how to do other crochets when i've been doing one for ever.. I was hoping it would go away with practice :D
I love this! Thanks for sharing your struggles. I can relate 😂 I'm always scared I'm gonna run out of yarn, especially with kits. Also, I was crocheting a skirt for a doll today, and it was all half double crochet. When I had to start single crochet again, I automatically did hdc out of habit. I had to consciously remind myself how to sc 😆
Ahh! Let me be honest I haven't watched the full vid yet just wanted to come in and comment real quick because im actually a new subscribers and I love you and your channel your honestly SO Cool and Talented I love how Joyful you are! Love from India! ❤️
Yeah that always happens to me yesterday I had one ball of yarn and I had more than enough to be fine until I needed to get more but I made a run to the dollar tree and got four more😂🤦♀️
I cant afford to buy kits like that i barely can afford yarn. But i wanna make this sweater. I found pattern by itself. Now can i use any yarns to make this? I got a ton of red heart i was given and this is perfect to use it.
im rly confused now cos i thought a foundation chain was just a chain and the foundation stitches are when you dont chain 😭 i also rly enjoyed the vid and i rly wanna crochet that jumper now!!
Hopefully this will help unconfuse you, or others! What is the difference between a chain and a foundation chain? Foundation stitches allow you to skip the starting chain and instead work a row of single crochet (or double crochet or treble crochet), building the stitches out side by side. Rather than creating base chains and starting chains, you just create the number of foundation stitches you need to start your row. You have a chain and a foundation chain. The chain is just the thin long strand of just basic loops that you will build the rest of your project on. The foundation chain is when you use foundation stitches to create a base for your project. The foundation chain is much better for beginners because it prevents the stitches from being too tight, you will know right away if you need to adjust your tension. A starting chain tends to be too tight and will make it more difficult for your project to lay flat. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Out of all your patterns . Which one would be beginner friendly? I mean a fresh new beginner who wants to take crotchet as a new hobby . I just got a kit of what was said to be beginner friendly . And I am progressively getting worse at the magic ring .
Stop this is too cute!!! I love this!!! A break from home = a break from plushies! This is such a beautiful pattern and it suits you so well!
Thank you so much Jen❤️ your comments are always the sweetest❤️
Ahhh thank you for pinning?? Mama, I made it 😭
I'm almost 75, been crocheting over 50 years, so glad to see young people doing it. Beautiful sweater.

I'm 13, and I learned to knit when I was 10 and crochet when I was 11, and I love crocheting, and it's my favorite hobby!!
@@Chloe.G.Miller Well done Chloe, you are so lucky.
@mandiesmaison458 it's just such a chill hobby, and it's always exciting to see what I can make next to make better than I make last time
It turned out SO cute! I love it! I couldn't agree more about crochet being good for our mental health. It's been a great help with my depression and it's so rewarding to see my finished creations. I hope you enjoyed your time home.
Awww thank you Sarah!! Im so glad its helped you too❤️ seeing your finished projects literally is the best feeling ever!
I love that you mentioned Jenna! i love both of you!!!
I can never crochet fast the first time i do a pattern, so great job knocking out a whole sweater in 2 days!! Love your videos :)
Awww thanks so much! It was a rush🤣❤️
first!!!! Ive been waiting for this video. I recently made two of your mini octopi and I am OBSESSED with them. will definitely make more of them.
Awww!! This is so sweet, so glad you love making the octopi and I hope you enjoy this video❤️
My tip to you as someone who makes mostly wearables or blankets is STITCH MARKERS lol. I've been at this for a bit now and I still always put stitch markers in the first and last stitch. It will help not to accidentally increase or decrease.
Yes!! 100% will be using them next time! Thank you❤️

Aww haha thats so funny!! Glad you found me🥰 good luck on your color block sweater❤️
It turned out cute! Lots of ends to weave in and can't imagine the hand cramp...but cute and fun and I agree about croxhet being an awesome hobby!
Awww thanks so much!!! The hand cramping was real😩😂
15:31 yes 😭 the first stitch i learned was a double crochet, so i got really used to yarning over before i put my hook into the next stitch, and then i learned arigurimi and it is literally single crochets EVERYWHERE. but now ive gotten used to that, I’ve gone too much the other way and keep forgetting to yarn over when doing a double crochet 😅

I had to consciously remind myself how to sc 😆
Awww thank you!! and LOL yes! Ive had that happen to me so many times, you just get used to doing a certain stitch after awhile!!
I think the tension was different for the first and second panel which is why it’s more defined and different size.
Yessss, fellow Jersey girl!!
Yay!! Love my fellow NJ friends❤️

I dislike foundation chains and never do them. I love the colors and have yet to do garments because I find them to be very intimidating.
You got this!! It felt so good to finally attempt clothing🥰 and thanks so much!
This looks amazing! ❤ I don’t crochet and can’t believe how expensive the cotton is??? 😮😮
Thank you!!❤️ yeah usually if you just buy yarn its not as expensive as this kit! It was definitely a gift to myself😅

Looks great
I’m the same way like with my jewelry making like “am I gonna run out of peices ..”😅
Hahaha yes!!😂😂❤️
Like your colors.
Aww thank you!!❤️❤️
It looks like store bought that is how good it is
I didn’t even know a foundational chain was different than a chain 😂 guess I’m gonna be learning that too haha
Hahah I didnt either when I first started 😂
Yeah that always happens to me yesterday I had one ball of yarn and I had more than enough to be fine until I needed to get more but I made a run to the dollar tree and got four more😂🤦♀️
Hahaha yes this is me! 😂
I am the opposite with the yarn. I always think I have more than I do and then I run out 😅
Hahahah no, thats a healthy mentality!!
so cute 😍
Hehe thank you girly❤️
Crocheting a plushie order while watching this!!!
Ahh I love this! Hehe thanks for watching❤️
I cant afford to buy kits like that i barely can afford yarn. But i wanna make this sweater. I found pattern by itself. Now can i use any yarns to make this? I got a ton of red heart i was given and this is perfect to use it.
I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTT
Thanks so much!!😭❤️
You need to do a crocheting quiz like when did you start crocheting
I Love your sweater it's so cute 😍 but sooooo expensive 😮 Love your work 😊
Thanks so much!! Lol omg I know…sooo pricey! I will definitely be getting cheaper yarn for my next sweater project😵💫
You are so adorable and so is your sweater.
Aww thank you so much Bonnie❤️
The sweater is so cute but I would have to redo it
Love your videos ❤
Aww thanks so much🥰❤️❤️
Block your first pannel to strech it to fit the second panel????
Oh great idea!! Thank you❤️
I’m trying to learn crochet but I’m having trouble with magic rings 😅
Magic rings are so tough!! Keep practicing :) once you learn it, you’re golden! ❤️
im rly confused now cos i thought a foundation chain was just a chain and the foundation stitches are when you dont chain 😭 i also rly enjoyed the vid and i rly wanna crochet that jumper now!!
Hopefully this will help unconfuse you, or others!
What is the difference between a chain and a foundation chain?
Foundation stitches allow you to skip the starting chain and instead work a row of single crochet (or double crochet or treble crochet), building the stitches out side by side. Rather than creating base chains and starting chains, you just create the number of foundation stitches you need to start your row.
You have a chain and a foundation chain. The chain is just the thin long strand of just basic loops that you will build the rest of your project on. The foundation chain is when you use foundation stitches to create a base for your project. The foundation chain is much better for beginners because it prevents the stitches from being too tight, you will know right away if you need to adjust your tension. A starting chain tends to be too tight and will make it more difficult for your project to lay flat.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Haha yeah it’s literally so confusing its a whole different thing!! But aww thank you so much, you totally should❤️
The fact that you didn't unravel the first panel to redo it caused me so much anxiety! Wish I could be as "relaxed" as you!
Hahaha thanks its just out pure laziness and stubbornness 😂❤️
Out of all your patterns . Which one would be beginner friendly? I mean a fresh new beginner who wants to take crotchet as a new hobby . I just got a kit of what was said to be beginner friendly . And I am progressively getting worse at the magic ring .
The magic ring can be so hard, but once you master it, you can make almost any plushie! I’d say bees and whales are great beginner projects
Do you know if Tom Daley’s book is in English Term stitches or American Term stitches?
I think its in american terms, but I gotta double check!!
First viewer 🥳🥳🥳
Whoaaa so fast!!😍❤️
Awazing, you're so talented and unique ❤
Great job!!
