🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:

*How much yarn will I need?* This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!

*How many squares do I need for a blanket?* That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀

*How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's?* Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.

[erinmalcolm]

I love how every tutorial I see is like "ok now I'll teach you how to make a stitch. Step 1: make stitch"

I saw people on tiktok using your bumblebee pattern (I love you for making it 💕) 🥺 It's my second day of learning how to crochet, just to make a fluffy bumblebee 🥺🥺✨ I'm German and still understand more in your videos, than in German ones :'D My magic ring still looks a little weird but with practice and time I'll be able to make my own bumblebees 💕🔥

[telecasterchick]

What am. Missing. I can’t do this. This is worse than folding a fitted sheet. What am I not seeing???

[yukorai]

I still can’t do it and I’m getting si frustrated

[starable]

This feels like a right of way to make the bee only those who are worthy

[emilygraves]

I know that this is an old video but this is so helpful. you can't imagine how many bad tutorials I've seen. thank you so much!!

[TubularTrends]

I get the ring part but could you possibly do a more detailed video on the stitching around the circle because I seem to be having trouble with that 😊😇

[bella-ipfg]

Why did I actually think I was gonna be able to do this?
😭

[cadenm]

it goes faster when it gets to the most confusing part ToT

[PixiieBlox]

I’m literally so proud of myself I did my first 5 single crochets!

[unknown_demon]

Hello! I see in the comments that people are having struggles! Please listen and look what she's doing first! what you have to do to keep the the crochet in the string is to repeat the same thing to the first step and pull the string to not leave a circle wide open! ^w^ I hope this helps! If need the video to slow down turn the speed slower! I hope this helps! Thank you!

[emmadixon]

that's so much easier than making a chain, joining it and then trying to figure out where the middle is to crochet through!

[lorimatthews]

Thank you so much Robin! YOU are the only person I have found that is able to walk me through it with success! Your help has been invaluable! 🥰🤗

[carolfisher]

Robin, you have taken the mystery out of the magic ring for me. I have tried and tried others tutorials thinking I was an idiot because I just couldn't get it. But I have now! I have done it several times since watching your tutorial and have gotten gotten it right each time! Thank God, and thank you. I just needed the right teacher. 😊

[genial]

I learned this on the first try. Thank you for your straight forward instruction on this! 🙌
