How To Crochet A Ball/How To Crochet A Circle/ Increasing and Decreasing stitches

Easy Step-by-step instructions on how to crochet a circle, ball, and sphere for beginners. Zoomed in views, slow instruction, easy to follow video includes the difference between the Magic Ring v.s. a Chain 2 Double Back to begin a circle. The different ways to end one round and begin another. How to count your rounds. Video goes over terminology such as what an Increase is, Decrease, what a sc2tog means. You will see how these words are used in a pattern and know how to manipulate a pattern to make the circle or ball as big or as small as you want and how to elongate the circle into a cylinder. By the end of this video you should be able to look at a crochet pattern for a stuffed animal and be able to create it. I hope you enjoy this video. Let me know if you have any questions.

Materials:
-Any Yarn (I recommend you using a 4 weight non-textured yarn to begin with
while you're practicing. It is easiest to work with and is good for
visibility in what you are doing)
-Any Crochet Hook (with a 4 weighted yarn I recommend using a crochet
hook size F, G, H as these work great with this yarn type
and provide a tighter stitch to help maintain shape and
keep stuffing inside. You can always refer to the yarn
label to see the hook recommendation size. For a ball or
stuffed animal I tend to go down 2 or more hook sizes
from the recommendation to make the stitches tighter
as it is important to have tight stitches to keep the
stuffing inside.)
-Stuffing (You could use Poly-Fil, or plastic beads, or rice, or beans)
-Scissors

This is my third day of ever learning how to crochet in my life. And I could say that this is the first video I’ve come across where I’m not sitting there crying wondering what I’m doing. As a visual learner, thank you so much for the visual picture that you drew out for us

[lisafray]

I have watched so many videos on how to do this I must have tried for 2 full hours until I came across this. And thank the sweet baby Jesus. Because this is the easiest explanation! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Especially with the markers! This is awesome!

I really like how you do the ch 2 for the beginning of the circle. I'm going to try it out.

I have watched many how-to videos for crochet, and this was one of the best. Your directions, speed, explanations and closeup camera work were all really well done. Thank you

[cutiesbenny]

Great tutorial Tiffany. Your clear explanations are perfect for a visual learner like me. I have crocheted for a long time and I learned by watching someone in person demonstrating it. This was, of course, before the internet. I'm so glad there are talented teachers like you who produce such wonderful teaching content. Thank you so much!
