Dear Daisy,
Thank you so much. I did my first 2 rows of crochet while watching this video. My mom tried to teach me so many times and all I could do is the chain at the beginning.. my mom has sadly passed away. I wish she could see me doing this right now. I hope both of us made her smile in heaven. Thank you x

Hello! This was the first video I've ever clicked when I began doing crochet. Thanks to this video, I already have a small business. Thank you so much!!!!

who else struggles, gets really mad, cries for a bit, tries again, cries even more, and now wants to throw their phone across the room? 😪😪

me: a nursing student who can insert IVs and do intricate wound care
also me: cant do a simple crochet stitch

[hellegilbert]

Yes, I am watching in July, 2024. It has been a long time since I crocheted. I am very rusty. Thank you, I needed this video.

Who else is here during the corona virus looking for a new hobby? :)

3:35 “now we are going to learn how to do a single crochet” me: that wasn’t it? 👁👄👁

[lindamofflin]

I am the most uncoordinated person ever, tried to learn for years and now finally someone who shows it over and over and explains where needle should face. Made a few mistakes on the second row etc but unravelled and just kept trying. Amen thank you

[katrinarobin]

A helpful little hint from me for absolute beginners ( which I still consider myself lol)-
As your initial chains tend to curl up as you work, I find it handy to iron them with a little craft iron. Makes it easier to see each chain and work into the correct side on the next row.

Learning crochet is one of my goals for 2024💜. I'll try my best.

[lotusliketheflower]

i can knit but i cant crochet. excuse me whilst i sit down and cry because i can only make clothing and not anything fun

edit: i can now crochet :)

edit: i have crocheted a cardigan, a top, a giraffe, a frog, plant pot covers, a rabbit, a chicken, a bandana, a hat, a pig, a bee, a sheep, a duck, a tiger, 2 shirts and a monkey.

I don’t think you’ll ever see this but I wanted to thank you. I’ve been going through a pretty bad depression recently and I wanted to start this to to take my mind of things, other videos weren’t helping or working but your really did help me, I’ve started doing it and I already feel better, so thank you, making this video helped me more than you know

[pinkzaism]

I don't crochet yet, but i am a kandi kid and it made me realize how much i like making things. I already knew i liked making things like drawings and stories, but ive started to realize just how much i love making physical things too. With kandi you can make stuff like bags, clothes, etc and its gotten me interested in crochet. Crochet seems more difficult, but crocheting things seems a lot more convenient than kandi especially when it comes to stuff like clothes and bags since kandi is literally just beads lol. Crocheting seems like something that could make you very independent- i mean, you can make your own clothes from home! This video seems very helpful and i cant wait to watch it again when i finally get my hands on some yarn

[DevanPax-enwc]

After having re-watched the same part eight times, I look through the comments and breathe a sigh of relief I AM SO NOT ALONE IN THIS. Phew. Thank you for your patience in making this for all of us. I will continue to keep watching it and making my hands move until I get it, then I will comment my success too!

[ella-iymk]

me: *finish’s one stitch*
also me: i think i’m ready for my frog hat

[catherineChinsida-kcgj]

For those complaining, pls don’t give up. I also find it difficult at first, I tried many times n almost cry n give up but I didn’t. I kept watching more Videos n I prayed to God n am picking up now

[lorelie]

This was my goal for 2024 and i loved it, it was suprisingly easy at first but when it came to other shapes, i had problems but remember to never give up and keep continuing on your dreams❤and now i can crouchet properly and make diffrent animals and things...like a penguin, whale, bags and hats! (mini hats too) it really became my daily life😅

My new year resolution for 2023 is to learn crochet. I've been wanting to learn since I was a teenager and now I'm 50 :)
Watching your video motivated me. It is my first step into learning and because I believe I can do it, tomorrow I'll go buy the yarn and hooks ❤️
