How to improve your tension when crocheting #crochet #temperatureblanket

Crocheting for 25 years and my tension is 100% based on my mood

[BimmerBabe]

my tension tips are: make sure you are pulling enough yarn off the skein or ball to work with . that will prevent causing more tension than you desire . Go up or down a hook size than the yarn recommends depending if you need more or less tension.
Try a thicker yarn to get used to holding it with out having to have a Vulcan death grip holding medium weight yarn.
Practice makes perfect

Girl… I’m just learning how to crochet and it’s DRIVING ME NUTS😂 All my stitches are uneven 😭😭😭

Holly you did a great job explaining how to maintain tension. I teach knitting and getting people to understand how to make a slip knot and and how to keep tension on the yarn can be hard. For this who are just learning and reading this;. You got this. Take your time. Crochet and knitting are great skills to have but they take time to master. You are doing great.

My mum thought I might find knitting with the yarn in my left hand easier since I crochet... I finally figured out I needed to hold the yarn differently between crochet and knitting! Hooking around my pinky makes the yarn too tight for crochet for me 😁

Awesome tutorial n so true for ur tension ❤

Thank you so much, as a beginner I was stitching so loosely, this really helped my tension.

I've noticed that the way I do my tension depends on the weight of my yarn. If I'm using crochet thread I hold it different from worsted weight and still more different from bulky weight.

I always do the bottom chain with my fingers. I just find it easier.

Do you have a full tutorial on YouTube? I'd love to binge crochet with you 😅

I don't really like when there's too much tension on the yarn I have wrapt around my hand so most times I keep it looser. What I do because of that to keep my tension the same is after I finish a stitch I tug a little at the yarn to tighten the stitch at the tension I want it. It works pretty well for me.

Fun fact, I also have a similar way to hold my yarn but I circle the pointer finger instead of the pinky

[lyndabird]

Excellent explanation of tension in crochet!!

[miku]

I can't believe how much my tension improved with this simple trick! I just watched a beginner tutorial video and was really struggling to keep all my stitches the same, tysm!!

[JSJSpeaks]

Girl! I woke up this morning thinking how much I admire your consistency in stitches, and how I need to learn your yarn holding technique 😅 this was perfect timing! Thank you lovely!!

[hellegilbert]

Thank you for the tutorial and the.encouragement

[ashwin]

That’s how I hold it!
My friends think I’m crazy

It actually took me months to find the right yarn hold for me, but that didn’t stop me from crocheting. I recommend watching different crochet videos and copying people’s yarn holds until you find one for you.
