I didn’t use the YouTube tutorial as I already know how to crochet. I taught myself how to crochet and knit when I was 13-14 years old

One of my best friends taught me to crochet and it is one of my favourite pastimes now. I have made so many blankets for people, such an amazing talent to have

Oh gosh….i would love to be able to make cuddle blankets for my grandkids in year to come but some hoe I just dont think its my thing. Im still confused *sigh*

I’ve always wanted to learn but I just can’t get my head around it haha even watching the videos!

I’ve always wanted to make those colourful squares, and a quilt or something, but it looks so hard! Will have to give it a shot now with this video for help. Thanks for sharing!

WONDERFUL! Thanks so much for sharing!

This is definitely on my bucket list too. There are soooo many incredibly gorgeous things you can create with crochet. I’ll definitely be checking out this tutorial. Thanks MoMs.

Make sure you know whether you are following US or UK patters, otherwise you can end up a bit confused! A great hobby though.

I wish i had more time to do something like this, i used to read alot but with two kids once i get to bed, i sleep lol and don’t hardly pick up a book anymore

I used to crochet when I was a kid but have totally forgotten how to do it. Might have to take it up again.

croched when much younger it is true made a dress and bikini too!!! but forgotten it is true, so for this I have contacted the site to relearn what i had forgoten as seems right. So thank you as old idea’s in our fast computer world also need to be unfurled.Some talents should never die just be revamped will give it a try

my mum is the best crocheter, but she has bad arthritis and her fingers don’t work anymore x

I’ve always wanted to learn how to crochet. I should have learnt when my grandma offered to teach me when I was younger 🙁

Ive recently brought a hook and some wool so now i will watch your video and hopefully be able to master it! thanks

Thanks for sharing this link. I taught myself to crochet years ago but was never very proficient. I’ll be keen to see some of her other techniques too as I’d love to make some things for my kids.

I used to do this as a kid, but have forgotten. This is great, now I can learn again & teach my daughter.

My mum and Nanna taught me to crochet when I was quite young. I remember when I was about 17 and my 7 year old cousin said to me, “How can you do that? You only have one stick.” I was shocked to realise she could knit and I couldn’t, so I was all the more determined to master that too. For those interested to try, crochet is more than granny squares though. Recently, I made some little stars and love heart motifs to dress up some throw cushions and personalise some clothing. Motifs are very fast and rewarding, and great for using up those little scraps of wool.

  yeah my grandmother used to make heaps of things. she made doilies too

oh wow! my grandma used to do this! she tried to teach me as a child and i just couldn’t get the hang of it lol. youtube sure is fantastic! 🙂

Thank you for sharing the video. I have not crochet for a long time so this is a nice refresher for me. One problem I have with crocheting is tension. I am all over the place with that.

I am excited to get the needles and learn how to crochet in this new year. I will let you know how it goes.
