Hi beginners who arent able to get it just right. Dont feel bad, it took me 2 hours and a few breaks to be able to do this ONE stitch! About a week into crocheting, i was able to pick up rows, and perfected my chain stitches! :)

Its been a few months now and ive been creating plushies, you got it :D

I’m a chatty person, but for this skill, which is giving me so much of a Struggle, your no- nonsense video is so much easier and less taxing on my focus. Thank you!

I just received my crochet kit and watched another video before yours and was literally crying bc I couldn’t do the chain. Then I watched your video and your technique was much easier and I got the hang of it now. Thanks so much🥹

I know this tutorial is 5 yrs old, but THANK YOU!!! 😅 I was doing it wrong and wondering why my stitches were wonky and my chains were too tight. Now my chain looks great and I can start my first project ❤ You are a great teacher! 🧶

Thank you for this! I'm trying to learn how to crochet from a book, and your demonstration has made everything I was reading much clearer.

This video was so useful for me😭 honestly I was able to get the hang of it after rewatching what she was doing a couple of times

This tutorial help me so much! The thing I was doing wrong was not pinching the loop so it wouldn’t come undone! Thank you 😊

This is the only tutorial I found that actually shows you the placement of the hands properly! Thank you so much❤

I’ve tried so many videos to learn this stitch but I haven’t been able to get it in any until now, thank you so much❤

This helped me more than the manual that came with my beginner set. Thanks!

I just watched this video and plan to try it tomorrow. I am baby beginner and so FRUSTRATED. I hope this helps me. It looks very simple.

Thank you! I learned how to knit first so crochet confuses me. I knit English (holding yarn in right) so there's some similarity. I know what I need to do with my right hand but the holding of the yarn just perplexes me. This is clearly shown and described. Saving this for the once a year when I need to crochet a part of knitting project.

Thank you for this! This is exactly what I needed to be able to start again. As soon as I got my first 2 loops in, I knew how to get it going. Going to see if you have a video on how to build out the layers next as that seems kind of hard and I’m intimidated lol
