Hey honies! Glad you like the yarn I'm using. It's from a company called Yarn & Colors. The gray is called Zen, a tubular nylon/cotton blend and it's color 096; the brown/orange is called Cheerful, a voluminous wool/acrylic blend, and it's color 026. You can find these yarns on Yarn And Colors website - www.yarnandcolors.com/
Just wanted to say I’m forty years old. People have tried to teach me for around 35years. Watched you and boom I get it 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️( I think it’s cause you have the nicest voice 😂❤️)
A tip for beginners: Even though I am still a beginner my tip is don’t let other people tell you what is right and wrong. Choose what it is comfortable for you for example I was told I have to hold my hook like a pencil but the way I hold it makes me 10 times faster than holding it like a pencil! If you do something differently doesn’t mean it isn’t right!
This! Also good to note that you don't have to hold every hook the same. For example if I'm using big yarn, meaning big hooks (looking at you Bernat Blanket Extra) I change my hook grip to accommodate. I usually do a modified pencil/chopstick hold, but when using extra large hooks I knife hold. It is ALL about what is comfortable for YOU.
@@caitlynbecker3626 totally! I don’t use chunky yarn for crochet because I don’t find it very easy to use as a beginner but I understand what you are saying!
@@inniyaalprabahar I've been crocheting off and on for 20 years, and almost daily for the last 2-3 years. I promise with a little practice you can get the hang of any yarn/hook/pattern!
so glad that I found you and this video! I am 75 yrs old and am recovering from 31 days in the hospital. I'm getting better but slowly. I decided to learn how to crochet some things for my 2 granddaughters. I'm not telling my wife yet until I see if I can produce something. Like many of your comments, I agree that you are an excellent teacher and make it so easy to understand. Thank you for what you do.👍
I am 72 years old and decided I would learn together with my 10-year-old granddaughter. It’s hard to explain to her when I don’t know how to crochet myself. So this afternoon, I worked my way through your whole video, starting over a number of times and finally getting done with my little swatch. This was so helpful! I feel like I can continue learning more and really get this figured out. Thanks so much!
what a coincidence! I’m 11 and I’m learning with my grandma who’s 65 and she only knows how to knit, we’ve been learning together but we’ve been busy lately,y but she actually went to a cafe which I went to also but I went to make a big chunky bag and she properly learnt to crochet and now she’s learnt so I’m just catching up
You are the best crochet teacher I have ever seen. You are clear in voice, instruction, and have your camera perfect. I am 78 years old and have experienced a lot of videos, people teaching, you are amazing.
I am a beginner and new to crochet as of yesterday and this is the first video I feel like makes perfect sense. I love how incredibly detailed this video is!
I've been teaching high school for almost 30 years, and I can honestly say that you're a born teacher. This video is EXCELLENT! I've been knitting for decades, but never could learn to crochet...until now. I still need practice, but I'm so excited to learn more from your videos. Thank you for breaking it down and making things so clear. I really appreciate you! 🙂
Totally agree! Also an educator here. You have a fine way of explaining, demonstrating, and highlighting the weird little tips we would be asking. Thank you!
This the most beautiful, perfectly executed video I’ve ever seen in my life. She was so thorough. Thought of literally everything and explained it perfectly.
this was such a fantastic introduction to crochet!!! to anyone else who might be intimidated by the length of the video at first glance, don't let that stop you -- you can follow along in real time and you will learn SO MUCH! i'm so excited to start a crochet project after learning these fundamentals :) thank you!!
I find it hard to learn from people, and I almost gave up. Then, I found this video and realized you put it in the perfect words. You go over things enough to not treat us like idiots but also enough to help us learn. I still have a long way to go, but you help me a lot. You even hold everything the way I found easiest, and that helps a lot.
I agree. Have always thought that learning anything was a bother to people. I taught myself to crochet from a book almost 50 years ago. Toni comes the closest to teaching crochet skills on RUclips. It delights me to find out that some of “tricks” I use are good ones. Love to crochet.
This is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. All the little details that help so much when you're learning and I've been crocheting since I was about 12 (now 71). I have to add that I never knew some of this stuff and I am so happy I found this.
I find something so relaxing when I hear you say the words, “Yarn over, pull up a loop.” Whatever stitch you are teaching, it is very calming for me. Thank you for sharing talents! I love your videos!
Calming is what I'm looking for. Even if I never crochet more than a lap blanket, the process and the mind thought will be good therapy for me. Toni is great, eh?
I’m a crafter and wanted to crochet a project. I watch a lot of tutorials and I must say this is an excellent video for me. There is no extra chitchat, no music, not too slow and clear concise instruction. I applaud you and I look forward to more of your videos. Thank you!!
Even though I already know how to crochet, you bet I'm still gonna watch this whole video! I'll still probably end up learning something new! Toni always has the best tips and tricks!
I wish I’d had this video when I was learning…..so many years ago!!! The whole explanation of how to read your stitches is invaluable! You’ve put a ton of work into Crochet Academy and it shows. ❤️
Omg. Hands down the BEST tutorial I’ve come across. The fact that you stayed with me each step of way at a pace I could follow made my heart sing. Thank you thank you!!!❤
I am a life-long knitter (just finished a sweater jacket) and my sister and I decided to meet up with our Mom, to crochet- so, I had to learn how to crochet- I tried a number of different videos, but this one is 😊 awesome! Our Mom is 84 years old, and just had cataract surgery, and can now see clearly and the colors are brand new! We are quite excited to do this, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me to learn this! I will practice with this video for a while then go on to another one to learn a bit more.... and more....
I did this whole thing and I'm really proud of myself! I definitely started again multiple times and practiced each individual stitch a ton, dropped a few stitches here and there, and had some issues with tension (tight at the beginning, more even as I went along), but I learned so much! Especially foundational things that I would have definitely missed if I jumped straight into patterns (which I kind of did, but came back to this to nail the basics). Learning to identify stitches by the v at the top was definitely the most useful take away for me, as I'm horrible at reading stitches and get so confused when things come out slightly wonky and I don't know why. Turns out I was putting hook into the wrong place half the time lol. I still need to get better at reading the back and front of stitches, but thank you so much for making this! I'll definitely be coming back to it over and over. You explained things so clearly and just watching how your hands moved was hugely helpful in itself.
I have wanted to learn to crochet for years. I tried an in-person class, had a friend try to teach me and I failed both times. Then, I found your tutorial. It was so easy to follow you and I am excited to keep practicing and learning even more when I am ready. Thank you so much!!!
You. Are. The BEST. Truly. I have watched a ton of beginner videos, and nobody has explained things or demonstrated technique as clearly as you have. Thank you so much!!
I just tried to make a beanie and it started to become very misshapen and now after watching this I know what I was doing wrong! The video I was watching wasn’t very clear, and now I’m confidant I’ll be able to finish my project with confidence tomorrow! Thank you for this amazing lesson!!
I've been trying to crochet for weeks, literally struggling to even get past the second row. This was the video that unlocked it for me. I made my first ever square to this video. Thank you so, so much. 😭❤
I’m just starting; as in today is my first time EVER even knowing how to place the yarn on the hook. How do you hold your yarn? I’m finding it really difficult to figure out how to hold it…that’s what is frustrating me the most at this point.
@@JamiLeigh77 just mess around making chains and restarting until you're comfy, holding the yarn is super important. I found some beginner videos that helped me. The yarn comes in to your left pinky if right handed, wraps around once, then over the top of the hand and your pointer leads it with your left thumb. The right hand holds the tool with your pointer and thumb with the rest of the hand holding the thing you're working on. Something like that. Just mess around until you're comfy
@@JamiLeigh77 I'm new too but flying now. I cut off the thing I started making 8 times before I got it right and then it clicked. A beginner video showing me how to ID where each "stitch" is was equally as important to me as holding the yarn because I make so many mistakes it's important to know how to fix them. Like the tool slips out and i have to take off a couple stitches to fix it would be a "start over" moment originally but now it's an easy fix :) you got this!
I am a macrame artist, but I decided to learn to crochet this year and increase my fiber art knowledge and learn to make cute clothing. I tried a couple different tutorials before coming across this one, and there is no comparison. You are so thorough and answered questions no one else did. I’ll be using this tutorial to help teach my children to crochet as well. Can’t wait to learn more. Thank you!!
Did we just become best friends?! I felt like I was crocheting with my bestie! This was PERFECT!!! I’m a beginner and my edges were a MESSSSSS. This video just gave me so much confidence and understanding. Thank you thank you thank you ❤
This is the best video for teaching you how to crochet. She has the nicest voice and is so thorough with the lesson. She is very patient and explains everything so precisely that anyone can learn and completely understand it. She has an amazing gift totally on point.
I’ve been crocheting 50+ years but I’m still discovering helpful tips from different crochet teachers on RUclips. I’m still finding “new” stitches to try as well. I hope that I never stop learning!
I signed up for the Crochet Academy and received my kit. I have never been able to crochet...until today! I'm so proud of my little swatch! I can't wait to continue learning and start working on my first project. Thank you for this amazing video!
this was so satisfying to watch. got through the whole video without even owning any yarn yet lol update: started my first crochet project today and this video is soooo helpful. thank you !
@@hanixkhan88 I do Tip 1: Trust in the process it takes time and dont give up. Tip 2: try to keep your chains the same it will make your project look 10x better. Tip 3: take your time✌ (Im still i beginner my self but these tips helped me alot!)
Toni, You are masterful...you make it look easy, you are very fluid!! Also the yarn you are using creates beautiful stitch definition!!! Thank you again for your fantastic tutorial! You have a gift for teaching! i watch over and over and it's teaching me so much!!! Love it, it's making me very happy.
Even I’m new (about 1.5 years) and I loved seeing these tips. My fave is making sure the loop is at the bottom of the hook so you can bring you hook through without hanging it up. I was wondering why that was happening! Doesn’t happen all the time but now I know what to look for.
I've been crocheting for years and I still loved watching this. It gave me a new perspective on learning that I hadn't seen before. You're truly a gifted and experienced teacher. I'm really grateful for you sharing your knowledge and insight and I'm looking forward to using this to help others learn.
I just started crocheting this week with a little help from my neighbor and mostly from you! Thank you so much for the slow tutorial! I bought a Woobles kit thanks to you so I can actually make stuff!
This is the most comprehensive and informative lesson I've ever taken (in real life or online) and it was free! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! A million times, thank you!
I am so pleased. You know how to reach your audience. I have been struggling to learn and today I have. I am thoroughly happy with your video. I'm about to share it with my 5 friends who we are trying to learn. This is it!! Thank you. I will continue with the lessons.🙏🙌
Toni, I have been knitting for over 60 years, and decided recently that I would like to learn crochet. I found your channel and just viewed your learn to crochet tutorial. I found it very informative and easy to follow. I look forward to viewing your other videos. Thank you for the time and effort in creating these videos.
Toni, I love how you SHOW and explain how and why to do the basic stitches, including how to hold the hook and the yarn. I do find the tip to use only one turning chain for half double crochet rows and double crochet rows very useful to produce a straight strong edge for seaming. You've made an excellent video for me to share with beginners. 😊
I just want to say a big thank you!! I have dyspraxia so learning new skills is always frustrating and difficult as I learn at a slower pace. Yours is the only tutorial that I have came across that is actually helping so far as you explain things slowly with a ton of description and information. Thank you!
Thank you for this video, Toni! I've been crocheting for a little over 7 years now but decided to get a little refresher and am so glad I did! The way you only chain 1 for double crochet rows is intriguing to me and I like the look so much better than what a chain 3 gives you - I am definitely going to have to try that and not chaining before fastening off.
I've literally been trying to learn how to crochet since I was a child. Multiple people, multiple books, and NOTHING has worked until this video! 20 years of only ever knowing how to do chains and now I'm breezing through stitches feeling like a pro! Thank you so much!
This was a fire video. If I am able to craft a business from your teaching, I'm definitely crediting you. You make crocheting easy and understandable, and I love you for that. I hope you're thriving ❤❤❤
From one teacher to another, thank you so much for this most excellent video. I have not found any other video on RUclips that has broken things down in such a clear and simple way. I am just starting to crochet having spent most of my working life teaching painting and drawing. I have just bought a hook and ball of yarn and I’m ready to go!!
Hands down the best tutorial I was able to find online. I was getting very frustrated because I just couldn't get my chains to look right, I wasn't able to pull the yarn through the loops and I was actually about ready to give up. Thank you very much, I think I can now do this finally! 🙏
Thank you 🙏🏻 thank you 🙏🏻 for explaining each of the loops you were doing step by step. I was at “loss”when I was watching how to crochet on RUclips. Your voice and guidance on each loops made it easy to understand. Thank you for showing each steps… Peace Be With You and Your Family 😇
I'm loving this video! Nobody did training wheels in their videos. This will most definitely help me with my work from going slanted on both sides🤣🤣 Thank you Toni!!
Hi I am just getting back into crocheting again. I used to crochet with my mother she has passed now. I love your simple approach that you share when teaching this class.
I just wanted to say a huuuuuge thank you for this video! I've watched 5, possibly more, videos teaching people how to crochet and they'd just say 'flip your work like a book' but not really explain what you were meant to be looking at, or how to find the stitches to work into at the top. This was perfect! The yarn is also really, really helpful to see each of the stitches. Sometimes I think the added bit of fluff gets in the way of seeing the stitches when you've just started, so this really made the process a lot cleaner. I know now that flipping the work will simply mean I'm looking at the bumpy back, the point of a stitch marker & why we hook a single stitch at the end of each row. Big, big thanks!
Thank you for this video. My first attempt definitely looks like a first attempt, but it is feeling more and more comfortable! Can't wait to learn more!!!
Hello love….I just had to say THANK YOU!!!! My great grandmother tried teaching me to crochet when I was a young girl and I couldn’t get it down and she also struggled because I’m left handed. I’ve always wanted to do this and I had a fire sparked to try again. I watched your video the very end of March and today I’ve got a little simple baby blanket for my niece and her baby #2. Can’t wait to continue learning from your videos. My great grandmother would be so incredibly proud of me. 🥰
I do not know how I ended up on your page but I am blessed and thankful that I did. I feel my Grandmother in Heaven must of sent me to you :) she was the crochet lady of the century. I learned it when I was in my 20's and never picked it up until now. I am 67 years young today :) I love love how you explain so clearly and show every single step. It is so appreciated. I know this video is from 3 years ago. It may take me another 67 years to go through all your videos lol but for now I am learning it this way - YOUR WAY. Because I love how neat and perfecto your stitches are. I got to get that tension right because my first one is curled up so I will start all over again. No matter how many times it takes me I will get it. I am determinedd to do this and with your help and guidance I just know I will make it. Thank you so much for explaining so clearly and distinctly! I can't wait to see the rest of your videos but I may have to stay on this one for a week lol... sorry this is so long. I will do this in Memory of my Beloved Grandmother who crocheted me a tablecloth with that real fine yarn. I remember she would watch Lawrence Welk and not even look at what she was doing. She was so good.I still have that tablecloth! Thank you so much Ms TL Yarn Craft Store :)
I decided today that after many years of wishing I knew how, I was going to start crocheting. My wonderful husband went with me to town to get supplies, and I come home searching for how-to videos. Thank you, thank you for such a wonderful beginner how-to video. You explain well and I love your cheerfulness! I did a lot of pausing and rewinding this first time. LOL But, I am determined! I'm excited to continue to learn and check out more of your videos. Thank you again!
Like so many others, I too started getting into crocheting in 2020 during COVID. I have picked it up and put it down several times out of frustration with not feeling like I was getting it. Toni, your videos have helped me so much. Your content is excellent and I very much appreciate your inviting / all inclusive attitude. Love the video with your mom. Would love to meet both of y'all. Love, love, love your beginner tutorials...especially the ones that are slower so I can see exactly what you're doing. That helps people like me who are visual + kinesthetic learners. You are amazing. Thank you for all you do! - Lauren M. , Grapevine, TX.
For a guy with man fingers my projects for my wife have always been a mess. Your instructions and pace are the best, and have been a tremendous help! Thank you!
I'm really so glad that I watched that video . Thank you pretty lady for making me happy learning details I have never understood before . Thank you from my button of my heart 🩷🩷.
Ive always wanted to learn to crochet & my grandma was going to teach me but sadly she passed before getting the chance. So im learning in honor of her and so i can hopefully pass this down to my daughters & grandchildren. With that being said, ive tried numerous videos and this is the best. I think ive watched this section about 5 times before successfully getting my 1st chain. I literally just picked up a needle and yarn to watch this video so im very new lol. And i am going to pause here to practice making my chain better. Thank you for being a great teacher & im looking forward to learning from you. P.S. I cant wait to learn the Tunisan method. 😃
Just started to learn to crochet over the weekend, went threw mutiplul video's before I came across yours, it's the most detailed and step by step that I have found, and has helped so much, I'm a slow learner but your video is prefect and very easy to follow, thank you so very much for the video.
Hello, I just wanted to say you are absolutely amazing and such a great teacher. I started crocheting 3 days ago from watching your video and I can’t believe I’m actually making things now! I
Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial! I am a complete beginner, I was very lost with my yarn and crochet hook, didn't know where to begin, how to place my fingers and you've just unlocked my motivation 😁 You are so patient, you explain very well what you are doing, and your voice is so calming, I am not even tempted to be mad or frustrated when I'm wrong 🥺 I just watch and listen again! New subscriber here for sure and can't wait to pick up the lesson where I left it tomorrow.
🎉 Im so glad i found this video , no crying , no frustration, no tear down and start again ( been reading other comments) . Just followed what you teach , pause , rewind , repeat . And whala ! Im crocheting !!!! . Im so EXCITED ! . Have already gone and bought beautiful yarn , read a free pattern that was offered at the yarn display , understood the lingo on it , took it and ready to make my girls a beautiful scarf. Hope to have them done by Christmas 😊. Thank you , Thank you , Thank you ! I smashed that subscribe button btw . Hope your still posting ❤❤
Thank you so much for this video. My grandma taught me how to chain when I was 8. She died when I was 9. 50 years later, I thought it would be fun to actually learn. I started crocheting 18 months ago and just jumped in with both feet, learning as I went along. I started with amigarumi (so cute) and then moved on to pixie hats. My genZ daughter decided she might be able to sell a few of those hats and asked me to teach her to crochet. To say that we have completely different learning styles would be an understatement! When I noticed she was getting frustrated with me, I remembered that I had saved this video. Your steady pace, great visuals, clear instructions, and kind voice were just the ticket! Plus, she can now pick up her hook and yarn and tune in when it's convenient for her! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
OMG I have been trying to learn how to crochet for SO long and I have looked at probably hundreds of YT tutorials, books, even a “learn to crochet for kids” book, my mom has tried to teach me, and nothing was clicking for me. I came across your channel at the recommendation of Elise Rose Crochet and I am so SO thankful that I found her and then because of that found you!! You’re the first person who actually explains WHAT I am looking at and how to count the Vs and seeing what the different stitches look like. I made a couple swatches from these beginner tutorials and now I am continuing to explore your channel and others to hone my skills and hoping to start a shawl that has an easy to understand pattern/tutorial. A million trillion times, thank you!!!! ❤🎉😊
I’ve spent hours trying to get the single stitch (?) crochet right. Several RUclipss. I couldn’t ever get the edges right until I found you and your “training wheels !” Thank you!😊❤
At 85 years I have been knitting most of my life. Now crochet seems like fun! Now for try 32, I went back to the beginning and realised that my tension was too tight. Still having problems holding the hook, the yarn and the work as I only have 2 hands.😊 But I think that I am getting there. Keep posting, it’s great. Thanks lots. Jenny.
So I quit smoking 6 weeks ago and need something to do with my hands. My Mom was an avid crocheter and knitter but I could never pick it up from her. I've looked at a lot of RUclips how to crochet videos and yours are by far the best. You're super clear, camera work is excellent, and I love your voice and pace. Thanks much.
By far the best learn to crochet video! I was looking for a refresher, haven’t crocheted in a very long time after learning how to knit. The person who taught me to crochet always told me it was too tight and told me to adjust my tension. After watching this video now I know what I really needed to do was move the yarn down my hook to maintain a consistent stitch size! This is the only video I’ve seen that mentions it. Love your teaching style overall!
Thank you!! I’ve watched a few different videos and they didn’t click for me but yours was exactly what I needed! I really appreciated the breakdown of each row and how to count stitches and using the stitch marker. It was all so good.
What a wonderfully easy tutorial you have offered those of use who needed it! My young grandsons (8yrs and 6 yrs) wanted to learn how to crochet and gained a lot from my lessons but I was "rusty" and not too good at it. By viewing your simple beginner's video you filled in some gaps in my "steps" list and helped my little ones by having them see another "Left handed" crocheter ! By the way, you and I hold our hook and yarn exactly the same way, which made me feel so happy! The last time I saw the same "handling" was from my grandmother (who passed at 100+)! Saying THANK YOU doesn't seem enough but, yes, THANK YOU!!! :)
Ma'am, I'm going to start by saying, that you were the first and only person to teach me this. I realized I was actually doing it wrong, which is why I was getting no-were. (😂)I was putting the thread in front instead of behind the hook. I'm 15 and I already know how to knit, I'm hoping I can finally perfect crochet!
I knew nothing about crocheting about an hour ago, your tutorial was so helpful and detailed, I feel like I am confident to crochet basics now! Thanks a million 🥹
My 11 yo daughter asked to learn to crochet so I decided to learn with her. We watched several videos and never got it down. Frustrated, we almost gave up. Then I came across your video!! Super simple and easy to follow! Your voice was even amazing! Lol. Thank you for explaining the simple things and telling us what we were looking at and doing as we went along!
I just want to say that I struggled through several tutorials before coming across this one and I finally had success! Thanks so much for your thorough explanations and I really think the camera angle helps with seeing where the hook needs to go. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I had crocheted before and restarted recently. I listened and watched your video. The one chain at the end of row has helped me regain confidence. In the past I had uneven rows and had to tearout and rework. Your voice is clear and calming. With some new health issues this has been a blessing for me. Thank you so much ❤
I struggle soooo much with my tension. You have been the best video! You talk about tension and other beginner videos don’t and thats really important! Thank you so much!
i have watched many "how to crochet" videos and this one was by far the most helpful! thank you for breaking each step down and really explaining everything at the VERY beginner level. i think you also have such a talent for teaching, and i'm so glad i found your videos!

This is so easy to follow & you explain it all clearly- thank you sooo much! I look forward to more!
Just wanted to say I’m forty years old. People have tried to teach me for around 35years.
Watched you and boom I get it 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️( I think it’s cause you have the nicest voice 😂❤️)
I don’t have any idea how to crochet but I just love your positivity and your willingness to teach! Maybe I’m bout to learn…
A tip for beginners: Even though I am still a beginner my tip is don’t let other people tell you what is right and wrong. Choose what it is comfortable for you for example I was told I have to hold my hook like a pencil but the way I hold it makes me 10 times faster than holding it like a pencil!

I usually do a modified pencil/chopstick hold, but when using extra large hooks I knife hold. It is ALL about what is comfortable for YOU.
I don't understand how anyone prefers pencil hold - it is so difficult!

How to knit seams together
I am 72 years old and decided I would learn together with my 10-year-old granddaughter. It’s hard to explain to her when I don’t know how to crochet myself. So this afternoon, I worked my way through your whole video, starting over a number of times and finally getting done with my little swatch. This was so helpful! I feel like I can continue learning more and really get this figured out. Thanks so much!
what a coincidence! I’m 11 and I’m learning with my grandma who’s 65 and she only knows how to knit, we’ve been learning together but we’ve been busy lately,y but she actually went to a cafe which I went to also but I went to make a big chunky bag and she properly learnt to crochet and now she’s learnt so I’m just catching up
I’m 69. Let’s go girls and learn something new!!
I’m 69 and have decided to learn crocheting to,donate blankets and hopefully teach my 11 yr old grand daughter too
Wow. This video is helping me get to my "AHA" moment. Thank you so much. I'm 66 yrs and I'm loving learning to crochet
My grandma tought me and I got it fast but needed to know hdc and dc
You are the best crochet teacher I have ever seen. You are clear in voice, instruction, and have your camera perfect. I am 78 years old and have experienced a lot of videos, people teaching, you are amazing.
I am a beginner and new to crochet as of yesterday and this is the first video I feel like makes perfect sense. I love how incredibly detailed this video is!
An update to my crochet adventures- I created my first hair bow and it doesn't look half bad 🙂
Did you make anything else dear ? 😇
Same, I watched some other videos and it didn’t make sense, however she makes it clear and she is so positive. ❤
Agree!
I've been teaching high school for almost 30 years, and I can honestly say that you're a born teacher. This video is EXCELLENT! I've been knitting for decades, but never could learn to crochet...until now. I still need practice, but I'm so excited to learn more from your videos. Thank you for breaking it down and making things so clear. I really appreciate you! 🙂
Totally agree! Also an educator here. You have a fine way of explaining, demonstrating, and highlighting the weird little tips we would be asking. Thank you!
I find knitting so much easier. Just makes sense to my brain.
42:10...
This the most beautiful, perfectly executed video I’ve ever seen in my life. She was so thorough. Thought of literally everything and explained it perfectly.
Agree! Ty so much!
I 100 percent agree I think she deserves so many more views
She’s the best demonstrator! I need no other videos now 👏👏👏
That is SO true
this was such a fantastic introduction to crochet!!! to anyone else who might be intimidated by the length of the video at first glance, don't let that stop you -- you can follow along in real time and you will learn SO MUCH! i'm so excited to start a crochet project after learning these fundamentals :) thank you!!
I'm 15, and I've watched countless crochetting tutorials, but none of them seemed to help me understand the way this video did, thank you!
I find it hard to learn from people, and I almost gave up. Then, I found this video and realized you put it in the perfect words. You go over things enough to not treat us like idiots but also enough to help us learn. I still have a long way to go, but you help me a lot. You even hold everything the way I found easiest, and that helps a lot.
Me as well 😊 agreed
exactly how i was doing😄
I agree. Have always thought that learning anything was a bother to people. I taught myself to crochet from a book almost 50 years ago. Toni comes the closest to teaching crochet skills on RUclips. It delights me to find out that some of “tricks” I use are good ones. Love to crochet.
Completely agree :)
This is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. All the little details that help so much when you're learning and I've been crocheting since I was about 12 (now 71). I have to add that I never knew some of this stuff and I am so happy I found this.
how old are u
@@Dorukbyk she said in her comment “now 71” :)
I find something so relaxing when I hear you say the words, “Yarn over, pull up a loop.” Whatever stitch you are teaching, it is very calming for me. Thank you for sharing talents! I love your videos!
Calming is what I'm looking for. Even if I never crochet more than a lap blanket, the process and the mind thought will be good therapy for me. Toni is great, eh?
I’m a crafter and wanted to crochet a project. I watch a lot of tutorials and I must say this is an excellent video for me. There is no extra chitchat, no music, not too slow and clear concise instruction. I applaud you and I look forward to more of your videos. Thank you!!
NOW THIS IS THE REAL BEGINNER LESSON
So far, I'm really impressed with her! I also like her voice. Idk a thing about crocheting,but, I now hope to.😊
Even though I already know how to crochet, you bet I'm still gonna watch this whole video! I'll still probably end up learning something new! Toni always has the best tips and tricks!
This has been the most helpful beginner video I have ever seen. It finally clicked for me. I look forward to learning more!
I'm gonna have to watch this again.
PS nails so pretty 😍
Sammmme. If I had watch this first I would not have been lost as I was
@@cheryljohn5238 I totally agree! You put into words exactly what i felt as well.
Yes! I agree. I’ve had trouble understanding the process. She totally explained everything! I get it now!!! 😊
I wish I’d had this video when I was learning…..so many years ago!!! The whole explanation of how to read your stitches is invaluable! You’ve put a ton of work into Crochet Academy and it shows. ❤️
Ditto!
What wool should I use
@@zubykhurram5913 For me, I tried many different wools to find which one worked best, so I suggest that’s what you might be able to try!!
You are by far the most detailed, clear and educational instructor!!!!!
Omg. Hands down the BEST tutorial I’ve come across. The fact that you stayed with me each step of way at a pace I could follow made my heart sing. Thank you thank you!!!❤
I am a life-long knitter (just finished a sweater jacket) and my sister and I decided to meet up with our Mom, to crochet- so, I had to learn how to crochet- I tried a number of different videos, but this one is 😊 awesome! Our Mom is 84 years old, and just had cataract surgery, and can now see clearly and the colors are brand new! We are quite excited to do this, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me to learn this! I will practice with this video for a while then go on to another one to learn a bit more.... and more....
How beautiful!
Hello Barbara
how are you doing hope all is well with you over there may God bless you
I did this whole thing and I'm really proud of myself! I definitely started again multiple times and practiced each individual stitch a ton, dropped a few stitches here and there, and had some issues with tension (tight at the beginning, more even as I went along), but I learned so much! Especially foundational things that I would have definitely missed if I jumped straight into patterns (which I kind of did, but came back to this to nail the basics). Learning to identify stitches by the v at the top was definitely the most useful take away for me, as I'm horrible at reading stitches and get so confused when things come out slightly wonky and I don't know why. Turns out I was putting hook into the wrong place half the time lol. I still need to get better at reading the back and front of stitches, but thank you so much for making this! I'll definitely be coming back to it over and over. You explained things so clearly and just watching how your hands moved was hugely helpful in itself.
I have wanted to learn to crochet for years. I tried an in-person class, had a friend try to teach me and I failed both times. Then, I found your tutorial. It was so easy to follow you and I am excited to keep practicing and learning even more when I am ready. Thank you so much!!!
Hello Michelle
how are you doing hope all is well with you over there may God bless you
Am learning skills how crochet I love it
You. Are. The BEST. Truly. I have watched a ton of beginner videos, and nobody has explained things or demonstrated technique as clearly as you have. Thank you so much!!
I just tried to make a beanie and it started to become very misshapen and now after watching this I know what I was doing wrong! The video I was watching wasn’t very clear, and now I’m confidant I’ll be able to finish my project with confidence tomorrow! Thank you for this amazing lesson!!
I've been trying to crochet for weeks, literally struggling to even get past the second row. This was the video that unlocked it for me. I made my first ever square to this video. Thank you so, so much. 😭❤
Ok that's me I hope it works out lol
I’m just starting; as in today is my first time EVER even knowing how to place the yarn on the hook. How do you hold your yarn? I’m finding it really difficult to figure out how to hold it…that’s what is frustrating me the most at this point.
@@JamiLeigh77 just mess around making chains and restarting until you're comfy, holding the yarn is super important. I found some beginner videos that helped me. The yarn comes in to your left pinky if right handed, wraps around once, then over the top of the hand and your pointer leads it with your left thumb. The right hand holds the tool with your pointer and thumb with the rest of the hand holding the thing you're working on. Something like that. Just mess around until you're comfy
@@chompers11 I’ll try! Thank you!
@@JamiLeigh77 I'm new too but flying now. I cut off the thing I started making 8 times before I got it right and then it clicked. A beginner video showing me how to ID where each "stitch" is was equally as important to me as holding the yarn because I make so many mistakes it's important to know how to fix them. Like the tool slips out and i have to take off a couple stitches to fix it would be a "start over" moment originally but now it's an easy fix :) you got this!
I am a macrame artist, but I decided to learn to crochet this year and increase my fiber art knowledge and learn to make cute clothing. I tried a couple different tutorials before coming across this one, and there is no comparison. You are so thorough and answered questions no one else did. I’ll be using this tutorial to help teach my children to crochet as well. Can’t wait to learn more. Thank you!!
Did we just become best friends?! I felt like I was crocheting with my bestie! This was PERFECT!!! I’m a beginner and my edges were a MESSSSSS. This video just gave me so much confidence and understanding. Thank you thank you thank you ❤
Right?? I feel like I totally want to hang out with her! :)
This is the best video for teaching you how to crochet. She has the nicest voice and is so thorough with the lesson. She is very patient and explains everything so precisely that anyone can learn and completely understand it. She has an amazing gift totally on point.
You are adorable Tony and the easiest Teacher to follow so far....Thank you
even though ive been crocheting for about 2.5 years im still watching this cuz its a tlyc video
Same I learned 2 months ago so it is still helpful even though I know the basics!
Me too, Olive Oil!
I’ve been crocheting 50+ years but I’m still discovering helpful tips from different crochet teachers on RUclips. I’m still finding “new” stitches to try as well. I hope that I never stop learning!
Agree!
Hahaha me too and 10+ yrs 😄
I signed up for the Crochet Academy and received my kit. I have never been able to crochet...until today! I'm so proud of my little swatch! I can't wait to continue learning and start working on my first project. Thank you for this amazing video!
this was so satisfying to watch. got through the whole video without even owning any yarn yet lol
update: started my first crochet project today and this video is soooo helpful. thank you !
Hey I'm a beginner too nobody ik knows how to crochet and I'm struggling with it. Do you have any tips?
@@hanixkhan88 I do
Tip 1:
Trust in the process it takes time and dont give up.
Tip 2: try to keep your chains the same it will make your project look 10x better.
Tip 3: take your time✌
(Im still i beginner my self but these tips helped me alot!)
Toni, You are masterful...you make it look easy, you are very fluid!! Also the yarn you are using creates beautiful stitch definition!!! Thank you again for your fantastic tutorial! You have a gift for teaching! i watch over and over and it's teaching me so much!!! Love it, it's making me very happy.
FINALLY!! Someone who teaches how to crochet and goes step by step and is easy to follow along! Thank you!
I've tried to learn crochet a few times and this video is the first thing that made it super clear! I feel like I get it now. Great demonstrations
Even I’m new (about 1.5 years) and I loved seeing these tips. My fave is making sure the loop is at the bottom of the hook so you can bring you hook through without hanging it up. I was wondering why that was happening! Doesn’t happen all the time but now I know what to look for.
I've been crocheting for years and I still loved watching this. It gave me a new perspective on learning that I hadn't seen before. You're truly a gifted and experienced teacher. I'm really grateful for you sharing your knowledge and insight and I'm looking forward to using this to help others learn.
I just started crocheting this week with a little help from my neighbor and mostly from you! Thank you so much for the slow tutorial! I bought a Woobles kit thanks to you so I can actually make stuff!
This is the most comprehensive and informative lesson I've ever taken (in real life or online) and it was free! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! A million times, thank you!
I've been searching and searching. This is the best tutorial I have found. Clear instruction, simple to follow. THANK YOU 😊❤
I am so pleased. You know how to reach your audience. I have been struggling to learn and today I have.
I am thoroughly happy with your video. I'm about to share it with my 5 friends who we are trying to learn. This is it!!
Thank you. I will continue with the lessons.🙏🙌
Toni, I have been knitting for over 60 years, and decided recently that I would like to learn crochet. I found your channel and just viewed your learn to crochet tutorial. I found it very informative and easy to follow. I look forward to viewing your other videos. Thank you for the time and effort in creating these videos.
What a kind soul
Toni, I love how you SHOW and explain how and why to do the basic stitches, including how to hold the hook and the yarn. I do find the tip to use only one turning chain for half double crochet rows and double crochet rows very useful to produce a straight strong edge for seaming.
You've made an excellent video for me to share with beginners.
😊
I just want to say a big thank you!! I have dyspraxia so learning new skills is always frustrating and difficult as I learn at a slower pace. Yours is the only tutorial that I have came across that is actually helping so far as you explain things slowly with a ton of description and information. Thank you!
Thank you for this video, Toni! I've been crocheting for a little over 7 years now but decided to get a little refresher and am so glad I did! The way you only chain 1 for double crochet rows is intriguing to me and I like the look so much better than what a chain 3 gives you - I am definitely going to have to try that and not chaining before fastening off.
how are you doing hope all is well with you over there may God bless you
I've literally been trying to learn how to crochet since I was a child. Multiple people, multiple books, and NOTHING has worked until this video! 20 years of only ever knowing how to do chains and now I'm breezing through stitches feeling like a pro! Thank you so much!
This was a fire video. If I am able to craft a business from your teaching, I'm definitely crediting you. You make crocheting easy and understandable, and I love you for that. I hope you're thriving ❤❤❤
From one teacher to another, thank you so much for this most excellent video. I have not found any other video on RUclips that has broken things down in such a clear and simple way. I am just starting to crochet having spent most of my working life teaching painting and drawing. I have just bought a hook and ball of yarn and I’m ready to go!!
Hands down the best tutorial I was able to find online. I was getting very frustrated because I just couldn't get my chains to look right, I wasn't able to pull the yarn through the loops and I was actually about ready to give up. Thank you very much, I think I can now do this finally! 🙏
Thank you 🙏🏻 thank you 🙏🏻 for explaining each of the loops you were doing step by step. I was at “loss”when I was watching how to crochet on RUclips. Your voice and guidance on each loops made it easy to understand. Thank you for showing each steps… Peace Be With You and Your Family 😇
I’ll also use the Training Wheels… no shame on me ☺️ I’m loving this video 🎉
This is 100% the most helpful crochet video I have found thus far
This is the very BEST instructional video for crochet I have found and don't need to search any further! Thank you so much!
I'm loving this video! Nobody did training wheels in their videos. This will most definitely help me with my work from going slanted on both sides🤣🤣 Thank you Toni!!
Lol...same here...😆🙋♀️ those stitch markers are brilliant.
This was the best tutorial I’ve seen for learning the basics. The pace was just right. Thank you.😊
Hi I am just getting back into crocheting again. I used to crochet with my mother she has passed now. I love your simple approach that you share when teaching this class.
I hope crochet helps bring up the best memories you made with your mother. Happy stitch, darling!
just sent this to everyone i know who i have tried (and failed) to teach to crochet lol
i trust toni to teach them all the things i couldn't
I will be watching this video more than once.
I did the same thing when I was a beginner I watched a good video like 5 times!
Could you discuss how to find the yarn end of a new skein, pull from middle or outside etc. This is a great series.
This is by far the best beginner crochet tutorial I’ve seen. Thanks!
I just wanted to say a huuuuuge thank you for this video! I've watched 5, possibly more, videos teaching people how to crochet and they'd just say 'flip your work like a book' but not really explain what you were meant to be looking at, or how to find the stitches to work into at the top. This was perfect! The yarn is also really, really helpful to see each of the stitches. Sometimes I think the added bit of fluff gets in the way of seeing the stitches when you've just started, so this really made the process a lot cleaner. I know now that flipping the work will simply mean I'm looking at the bumpy back, the point of a stitch marker & why we hook a single stitch at the end of each row. Big, big thanks!
Such a great video! I loved the yarn she used since when I tried to find where to insert the needle it looked like a furry blob. Excellent!!
Do you know what kind of yarn that was? I want to buy some, but don't know what kind of yarn to look for.
Thank you for this video. My first attempt definitely looks like a first attempt, but it is feeling more and more comfortable! Can't wait to learn more!!!
The way you teach is simply superb! My crocheting journey is only on day 4 and I am so glad I clicked on your video. Thank you so much!!!
Hello love….I just had to say THANK YOU!!!! My great grandmother tried teaching me to crochet when I was a young girl and I couldn’t get it down and she also struggled because I’m left handed. I’ve always wanted to do this and I had a fire sparked to try again. I watched your video the very end of March and today I’ve got a little simple baby blanket for my niece and her baby #2. Can’t wait to continue learning from your videos. My great grandmother would be so incredibly proud of me. 🥰
Toni…you are wonderful!!!! I could listen to your sweet voice forever 🥰
I adore this tutorial! I've never been capable of understanding crochet and here I am, making stitches like a pro. Thank you so much for this!!! 💓💓💓💓
Perfect video 🧘🏾♀️
I do not know how I ended up on your page but I am blessed and thankful that I did. I feel my Grandmother in Heaven must of sent me to you :) she was the crochet lady of the century. I learned it when I was in my 20's and never picked it up until now. I am 67 years young today :) I love love how you explain so clearly and show every single step. It is so appreciated. I know this video is from 3 years ago. It may take me another 67 years to go through all your videos lol but for now I am learning it this way - YOUR WAY. Because I love how neat and perfecto your stitches are. I got to get that tension right because my first one is curled up so I will start all over again. No matter how many times it takes me I will get it. I am determinedd to do this and with your help and guidance I just know I will make it. Thank you so much for explaining so clearly and distinctly! I can't wait to see the rest of your videos but I may have to stay on this one for a week lol... sorry this is so long. I will do this in Memory of my Beloved Grandmother who crocheted me a tablecloth with that real fine yarn. I remember she would watch Lawrence Welk and not even look at what she was doing. She was so good.I still have that tablecloth! Thank you so much Ms TL Yarn Craft Store :)
Great job!!
Very clear and concise:)💗
Hello Tracy
how are you doing hope all is well with you over there may God bless you
I’ve been crocheting since I was 9 and now 59…I have learnt some lovely tips from you …so thank you for you well explained tutorial!
I am very thankful for this video. I never in a million years thought I could or would crochet. Truly appreciate your teaching methods!
I am a total beginner and couldn’t understand how I always seem to decrease. Stitch marker is genius! Thank you for an awesome video!
I decided today that after many years of wishing I knew how, I was going to start crocheting. My wonderful husband went with me to town to get supplies, and I come home searching for how-to videos. Thank you, thank you for such a wonderful beginner how-to video. You explain well and I love your cheerfulness! I did a lot of pausing and rewinding this first time. LOL But, I am determined! I'm excited to continue to learn and check out more of your videos. Thank you again!
Like so many others, I too started getting into crocheting in 2020 during COVID. I have picked it up and put it down several times out of frustration with not feeling like I was getting it. Toni, your videos have helped me so much. Your content is excellent and I very much appreciate your inviting / all inclusive attitude. Love the video with your mom. Would love to meet both of y'all. Love, love, love your beginner tutorials...especially the ones that are slower so I can see exactly what you're doing. That helps people like me who are visual + kinesthetic learners. You are amazing. Thank you for all you do! - Lauren M. , Grapevine, TX.
For a guy with man fingers my projects for my wife have always been a mess. Your instructions and pace are the best, and have been a tremendous help! Thank you!
I'm really so glad that I watched that video . Thank you pretty lady for making me happy learning details I have never understood before . Thank you from my button of my heart 🩷🩷.
Ive always wanted to learn to crochet & my grandma was going to teach me but sadly she passed before getting the chance. So im learning in honor of her and so i can hopefully pass this down to my daughters & grandchildren. With that being said, ive tried numerous videos and this is the best. I think ive watched this section about 5 times before successfully getting my 1st chain. I literally just picked up a needle and yarn to watch this video so im very new lol. And i am going to pause here to practice making my chain better.
Thank you for being a great teacher & im looking forward to learning from you. P.S. I cant wait to learn the Tunisan method. 😃
Just started to learn to crochet over the weekend, went threw mutiplul video's before I came across yours, it's the most detailed and step by step that I have found, and has helped so much, I'm a slow learner but your video is prefect and very easy to follow, thank you so very much for the video.
Hello, I just wanted to say you are absolutely amazing and such a great teacher. I started crocheting 3 days ago from watching your video and I can’t believe I’m actually making things now! I
Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial! I am a complete beginner, I was very lost with my yarn and crochet hook, didn't know where to begin, how to place my fingers and you've just unlocked my motivation 😁 You are so patient, you explain very well what you are doing, and your voice is so calming, I am not even tempted to be mad or frustrated when I'm wrong 🥺 I just watch and listen again! New subscriber here for sure and can't wait to pick up the lesson where I left it tomorrow.
🎉 Im so glad i found this video , no crying , no frustration, no tear down and start again ( been reading other comments) . Just followed what you teach , pause , rewind , repeat . And whala ! Im crocheting !!!! . Im so EXCITED ! . Have already gone and bought beautiful yarn , read a free pattern that was offered at the yarn display , understood the lingo on it , took it and ready to make my girls a beautiful scarf. Hope to have them done by Christmas 😊.
Thank you , Thank you , Thank you !
I smashed that subscribe button btw . Hope your still posting ❤❤
Thank you so much for this video. My grandma taught me how to chain when I was 8. She died when I was 9. 50 years later, I thought it would be fun to actually learn. I started crocheting 18 months ago and just jumped in with both feet, learning as I went along. I started with amigarumi (so cute) and then moved on to pixie hats.
My genZ daughter decided she might be able to sell a few of those hats and asked me to teach her to crochet. To say that we have completely different learning styles would be an understatement! When I noticed she was getting frustrated with me, I remembered that I had saved this video. Your steady pace, great visuals, clear instructions, and kind voice were just the ticket! Plus, she can now pick up her hook and yarn and tune in when it's convenient for her!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
I’ve been trying to learn how to crochet for years and it’s never clicked for me. This video finally helped me get it!! I’m so excited!
BY FAR! The. Best. Tutorial!
OMG I have been trying to learn how to crochet for SO long and I have looked at probably hundreds of YT tutorials, books, even a “learn to crochet for kids” book, my mom has tried to teach me, and nothing was clicking for me. I came across your channel at the recommendation of Elise Rose Crochet and I am so SO thankful that I found her and then because of that found you!! You’re the first person who actually explains WHAT I am looking at and how to count the Vs and seeing what the different stitches look like. I made a couple swatches from these beginner tutorials and now I am continuing to explore your channel and others to hone my skills and hoping to start a shawl that has an easy to understand pattern/tutorial. A million trillion times, thank you!!!! ❤🎉😊
I’ve spent hours trying to get the single stitch (?) crochet right. Several RUclipss. I couldn’t ever get the edges right until I found you and your “training wheels !” Thank you!😊❤
At 85 years I have been knitting most of my life. Now crochet seems like fun! Now for try 32, I went back to the beginning and realised that my tension was too tight. Still having problems holding the hook, the yarn and the work as I only have 2 hands.😊 But I think that I am getting there. Keep posting, it’s great. Thanks lots. Jenny.
So I quit smoking 6 weeks ago and need something to do with my hands. My Mom was an avid crocheter and knitter but I could never pick it up from her. I've looked at a lot of RUclips how to crochet videos and yours are by far the best. You're super clear, camera work is excellent, and I love your voice and pace. Thanks much.
By far the best learn to crochet video! I was looking for a refresher, haven’t crocheted in a very long time after learning how to knit. The person who taught me to crochet always told me it was too tight and told me to adjust my tension. After watching this video now I know what I really needed to do was move the yarn down my hook to maintain a consistent stitch size! This is the only video I’ve seen that mentions it. Love your teaching style overall!
Thank you!! I’ve watched a few different videos and they didn’t click for me but yours was exactly what I needed! I really appreciated the breakdown of each row and how to count stitches and using the stitch marker. It was all so good.
I'm so glad to know this video was helpful. I wish you happy stitching for years and years to come :-)
What a wonderfully easy tutorial you have offered those of use who needed it! My young grandsons (8yrs and 6 yrs) wanted to learn how to crochet and gained a lot from my lessons but I was "rusty" and not too good at it. By viewing your simple beginner's video you filled in some gaps in my "steps" list and helped my little ones by having them see another "Left handed" crocheter ! By the way, you and I hold our hook and yarn exactly the same way, which made me feel so happy! The last time I saw the same "handling" was from my grandmother (who passed at 100+)! Saying THANK YOU doesn't seem enough but, yes, THANK YOU!!! :)
Ma'am, I'm going to start by saying, that you were the first and only person to teach me this. I realized I was actually doing it wrong, which is why I was getting no-were. (😂)I was putting the thread in front instead of behind the hook. I'm 15 and I already know how to knit, I'm hoping I can finally perfect crochet!
I knew nothing about crocheting about an hour ago, your tutorial was so helpful and detailed, I feel like I am confident to crochet basics now! Thanks a million 🥹
My 11 yo daughter asked to learn to crochet so I decided to learn with her. We watched several videos and never got it down. Frustrated, we almost gave up. Then I came across your video!! Super simple and easy to follow! Your voice was even amazing! Lol. Thank you for explaining the simple things and telling us what we were looking at and doing as we went along!
The same thing I was doing
I've tried following several tutorials to learn the basics, and yours was the first to help me *get* it. Thanks for being so descriptive!
I just want to say that I struggled through several tutorials before coming across this one and I finally had success! Thanks so much for your thorough explanations and I really think the camera angle helps with seeing where the hook needs to go. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I had crocheted before and restarted recently. I listened and watched your video. The one chain at the end of row has helped me regain confidence. In the past I had uneven rows and had to tearout and rework. Your voice is clear and calming. With some new health issues this has been a blessing for me. Thank you so much ❤
This video is so much easier to watch than the others I’ve seen. Thank you!!❤❤❤❤
I struggle soooo much with my tension. You have been the best video! You talk about tension and other beginner videos don’t and thats really important! Thank you so much!
i have watched many "how to crochet" videos and this one was by far the most helpful! thank you for breaking each step down and really explaining everything at the VERY beginner level. i think you also have such a talent for teaching, and i'm so glad i found your videos!
I know I’m 3 years late, but this video has literally been the most helpful I’ve seen starting out. I can’t thank you enough for this video 💜
