A few tipps for crochet beginners
Start practicing with yarn in light colours. You won't see anything if you choose to start with black or a really dark brown for example
For the very first project I am suggesting coasters. You are able to practice basic stitches and get fast results. Just use natural fibers like cotton if you're drinking hot beverages like tea otherwise the coaster might stick to your cup. Avoid time consuming projects like blankets for your very first project as well.
Always count your stitches because it's not unusal that beginners lose stitches in the beginning and don't notice it at first.
Read the label of your yarn and use the recommended hooksize
If there are small holes in your project don't worry about it. It's normal that crochet has holes
For english patterns there are different words in british english and american english for the same stitch. Make sure that you're using the correct stitch when following a pattern.
AI pictures are being used for crochet patterns which means that your finished product will not look like in the picture. Make sure that the picture is actually real. Look at backgrounds and zoom in on the stitches. If there seems to be no system in which the stitches were made it's likely fake. The lack of texture is also a big red flag. When I doubt ask other people who crochet. My DMs are open as well if you're unsure whether AI was used (of course as AI is getting better it get's more difficult to recognize it so mistakes on my side might be made).
If you use more than one skein of the same yarn for the same project make sure it's the same lot number. The lot number tells you the dying batch of that exact yarn. Yarns from different batches might vary in colour even if it's technically the same shade and it's gonna be noticible
Only buy what you need at the time. I know with haul culture and social media you might get the idea that you need all the yarn you can get your hands on but that's not true! I am not perfect either but everyone should try to refrain from overconsumption and I myself at a point where I say it's too much so I am not buying anything new for a while...so yeah make sure that you don't even reach that point :D

Does any crochet master have any tips for a beginner who gets overwhelmed and cries easy? I can't even complete a simple chain and it's really taking a toll on my self esteem

helppp i’m super super new to crocheting, i can confidently do the chain stitch and single crochet stitch but that’s about it so far… i wanna learn the other essential stitches as well of course but like, i think i want to start on my first project?
but i don’t know what would be suitable for a COMPLETE beginner like me :< i thought about granny squares maybe? but they use so many different stitches and i get super frustrated super easily :((
so yes in short, if anyone out there has some recommendations as to what a crochet newbie with zero projects under their belt could do as their first, let me know!!!

1st attempt at a solid granny square. I've been mostly learning crochet thru amigurumi so challenging myself with this one was a lot of fun!

I'm currently still working on a bag but I needed to take a break from making the strap. Since it's gonna work as bottom and sides as well it's gotta be quite a bit longer (also 3mm hook and single crochets are torture but at least it'll be sturdy 💀)
Aaanyway! Needed a break and tried my hand at making my first little plushie. And I fully expected it to go extremely wrong with all the failed first attempts I saw from other people. But this little guy turned out adorable! Ngl I'm pretty proud xD

Need some advice!!! I am a beginner at crochet and I'm struggling already lol.
I can do a chain with my crochet hook but can't do the single chain for the life of me! The hook always gets stuck and also I never get the two hoops and then yarn over again?? Also which hole do I stick my hook into? I get confused easily and yesterday I hyperfixated on trying to do the single chain and I couldn't do it for the life of me!!
My yarn is for a 4mm hook and I find it really hard to push the hook through the yarn chain?? Sat crying cos I so wanna do it but I get so frustrated so easily.
I've watched numerous YouTube videos and looked at my crochet book. Ahhh, help pls thank you!!
Also want do you suggest I make with a 4mm hook yarn? I wanted to make a blanket.
Thank you in advance ☺️

56 hours, ~43000+ stitches later and I finished my first big project! Didn't fully turn out the way I wanted it to but that's partly bc I deviated from the pattern at the end. But hey I finished it!!! I just need to block it

My Favourite Free Amigurumi Pattern Creators for Beginners - Part 1
Tumblr media
When I've only started crocheting amigurumis, it was a challenge. I've tried it before, 10+ years ago back at school, but it was never close to success. So summer 2022 I've decided that I'll try again and was glad that there are so many talented people creating patterns! Starting fresh I've been choosing free patterns at first, to build confidence and get familiar with all the abbreviations and techniques, as I wasn't still sure if it would be a good investment. Heck I would be even more frustrated if I couldn't figure out the pattern that was paid for tbh ... So I'm very grateful to people sharing their tutorials and free patterns, as they really helped me to get into crocheting! Here are some of them! Part 1

Chimkins... 🐔🧶
It's been a bit since I've crocheted because my brain got taken over by some new shows I love. But I missed it a lot!
So here's another Stardew Valley blue chicken and a plain one!
Pattern is from @/oakandmarlow on insta!
