If you are struggling READ THIS! You can do it. Take a break and come back later. Watch again and then when you try again you can play the part you need on the slowest setting. There are speed controls on YouTube to help you. ☺️ It doesn’t always come the first several tries. I know. When I first started I tried over and over and just wasn’t getting it. I just needed to give myself grace and time to learn. Everyone learns at different speeds. Your brain and body are learning to do something new together and many times it is the learning from our mistakes that help us become better at something. Remember when we first learn to walk we learn to get up on our hands and knees and then crawl. Hugs to you.

Can I just say, I started crocheting 3 days ago, and I have the basics. I then stumbled across some of your videos to get a few more stitches under my belt, and you explained everything so beautifully. I decided to watch this one incase you explain anything further than what I’ve already learnt. Wow, instead of just telling people how to do things, you explain WHY, and I love that! Thank you

[mrs.nerdaholicotaku]

I don’t think you understand how much I appreciate the slow mo replays 😭🙌🏽

[willowsmith]

God THANK YOU. I've gone through SO many tutorials that were so unclear and didn't explain so many things; it was such a relief to finally come across this video and FINALLY have someone explain the things that seem obvious to someone who knows what they're doing.

HARRY STYLES CARDIGAN makers: I’ll be posting a video next Saturday (08/22/2020) on How to Crochet Houndstooth (for Harry Styles cardigan). It will cover how to make the single and double crochet to make it and work with two colors. I’ll also cover in needle knitting and loom knitting the weeks after in case anyone wants to knit the cardigan. I LOVE that y’all are all making yours! Tag me on Insta @goodknitkisses I’d love to see your progress! 😁 Air hugs, Kristen

I love how like 50% of the comments are about Harry’s cardigan and how we are all making it I mean we all know that if you are reading this you most likely are probably making it to lol

Oh man, started doing this today and was able to compleat my first strand, but I had no idea how to start the next row. I watched 20 different videos trying to figure it and and yours was the one to do the trick! Thank you so much!!!

[alex_fictus]

I want to give you a deeply sincere thank you. I have been trying to learn to crochet all evening and your video was the one that helped me. I never got to learn from my grandmother and she's going through a very rough time right now and it's given me something to feel close to her while I sit with her. Thank you <:')

OMGOMGMGOMG THIS WAS LIKE MY 5TH TUTORIAL VIDEO I WATCHED AND I FINALLY DID A LITTLE STRIP OF SINGLE CROCHET!!! TYSMM IM GONNA GO WATCH MORE OF UR TUTORIALS NOW

[M_NUEN]

Everyone: i wanna make the 𝓬𝓪𝓻𝓭𝓲𝓰𝓪𝓷
Me: i wanna make a scarf for my grandma

[heresyisecstasy]

You. You are a life saver. I've been knitting for about 15 years, finally decided to learn crochet-- I'm sick of spending a thousand years on a very limited variety of projects. Oh it will be so easy to learn from a YouTube video! I'm a smart lady that can figure things out, I'll just watch a few videos and it will be simple!
Uh. No.
This is the first video I have found that answers all my questions and shows everything from the perspective of teaching a skill to someone with no background in this area rather than showing this to someone who already knows what they're doing. Can't thank you enough!!

[iliwysmari]

me here bc i wanna make a harry styles cardigain

[andrabungard]

I came here for a refresher I started crocheting a few years ago and haven’t picked it up in almost two years. I have watched a lot of videos in the past and what I appreciate most is how clear you speak and how SLOW you go to ensure we can follow along. THANK YOU!

[whoopsidaisy]

I’m really really struggling with this! Not sure why it’s so hard for my brain and hands to just be on the same page 😓 I wanted to learn to crochet so I can make Christmas gifts instead of spending so much money.
But it’s proving more difficult than I anticipated. Thank you for a WONDERFUL video it has been the best one yet.
Anyone reading this, WE CAN DO IT!!! DONT GIVE UP☺️

[raymondholgate]

Thank you! For your YouTube tutorials! My daughter has learnt how to "Crochet" from you and she also has a disability so it is inspiring her and sometimes she gets people saying she can't do things when she can thanks to you.
