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? 😪😪

Who else is here in 2024 ? 😊

Hi! To anyone reading this who is really frustrated and want to quit ,I was there once. It may seem impossible at first but let me tell you, it really isn’t! You just need some patience and time and boom you’re an expert. As someone with neither any patience or time, I decided to pick up crochet as a hobby as I thought it was quite cool you could just make whatever you wanted. At first, I watched so many KZfaq tutorials and was close to giving up. Despite putting away crochet many times, I always had hope that i could learn it. After about 3 weeks or so, something clicked. I went on KZfaq and decided I was ready to make my first bunny. Yea sure, it was confusing and a big step up from just doing squares. However, I just kept trying and watching the video and I figured it out! It wasn’t great.. but it was definitely something. I was really proud and my family were so surprised that my hobby may have been my hidden talent. From then on, I became obsessed. I crocheted day and night and it was becoming a daily routine. I really enjoyed it. After a few months of crocheting, some people saw my work and asked if I sold it. I contemplated quite abit but decided to start my own business. I was so shocked by the amount of people who were willing to buy my stuff. I got many positive feedbacks and compliments. To whoever still reading this, please don’t give up on crochet. It can absolutely change your life. Don’t forget, I was like you once on KZfaq rage quitting. I started with single crochet uneven squares to making bags, toys, cardigans, headbands. I learnt everything off of KZfaq. Did I mention I started when I was 13? Im 15 now and crochet has changed my life. Shameless plug but I’m currently crocheting dog collars and using the money to donate to a pet organisation called hope dog rescue. It’s ok if you can’t purchase anything but a follow will help me tremendously. Instagram @bone_appetitt. Thank you to the person who read this long winded comment. I hope you continue your journey with crochet! Don’t ever give up!

Great video! I'm so thrilled that I can enjoy interesting content like this without stressing over finances. I used to feel depressed because of my $85,000 debt, but thankfully, I managed to pay it off and am still earning 5k-18k biweekly for myself. God bless my investment advisor

I CAN'T DO ANYTHING I'M CRYING THIS IS SO HARD AND I'M SO STUPID

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

I'm 71 years old and still trying to learn how to crochet. This is one of the best videos I have seen for beginners!

Who's here in 2024 ?

Everyone wanting to make bees, frog hats and Harry styles cardigan Me: literally wants to make a square

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

I have been watching crochet videos for 4 days and I had decided to take up on a new hobby this year, I know this will be hard at first but I am determined to do this

I want to thank you soo very much for teaching me again. I knew when I was a teenager in 70s but of course, now I'm in my 60s. Am replacing smoking with crochet. Am sure I'll watch over n over. Thank you soo much!!

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

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

I'm so glad I came to read the comments! I was ready to give up and now I see I'm not the only one who watched the same thing 10 times and still struggle. I'm not giving up!

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

The amount of times I've had to replay this video..

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

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

It's my birthday today and I'm learning how to crochet! Gifted with a new skill. Super easy tutorial to understand. I'm a knitter and Crocheting would boggle my mind but this video made me realise how fun and easy it can be! Thank you so much!

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!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to jump in here to encourage everyone and let everyone know when I first began crocheting I couldn't even read instructions! But now I can make anything! And it really does get easier once you get the hang of it, and please don't be too hard on yourselves! As far as the stitches go if you start out too tightly get a bigger hook and if you start out too Loosely use a smaller hook! It's really easy Once you understand, it gets easier as you go along and yes it is tough to grasp in the beginning, because your brain is trying to learn something new LOL! However once you patiently continue to do it and don't give up and practice a little more each day, and just relax it will be fun. so, make it fun it! And think of how wonderful it is that you're learning something new!

Just to let you know that I nearly gave up but came back again years later and copied this completely step by step and lo and behold I’ve just done a great little square. Just a little thing but it’s made me happy 😊 so cheers. Onwards and upwards, I’ve definitely rushed it before and gave up. It is weird how the muscle memory does kick in eventually.

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 ❤️

My girlfriend laughed, when I said that I want to crochet while she watches netflix. I am white straight male over 30 whose hobbies are martial arts and videogames and I work in logistics. I want to crochet something for my rats. Like a bed in their house. Thank you for tutorial. 👍

Oh my goodness I love this comment section, so lovely to see all connections and stories. Glad to see I'm not alone in how confused I am either 😅

I’m here bc I get anoyed whenever I don’t have something to do so I need a hobby and I like seeing ppl crochet & would love to be able to crochet things for myself :)

"the test isnt that hard" the test:

pls we’re all crying bc we can’t crochet 😭 don’t give up, it’s hard when you get confused. just keep trying. you can do it :) not to be that one person but this is definitely the most likes i've ever gotten, thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I am a beginner and whenever I can't understand the basic stitches in any tutorial, I come back to your beginner friendly videos. Thank you so much for making these❤

I TRIED IT 27 TIMES, And KEEP GETTING THE HOOK STUCK

Watching this video My brain: EASY! DO IT! Hand: SERIOUSLY?

I have a tip for anyone struggling that really helped me. Practice just the chain stitch for a long time, I did it for like an hour and a half while watching a show. Do the chain until you get your tension right and get used to holding the yarn, then you can do single crochet easily!! I also made a chain with 5 different methods of holding the yarn and compared them to see which method worked the best for me.

I recommend to newbies( I am one too) that knowledge of other types of working with yarn help significantly. For me it was finger-knitting and making a chunky blanket. It really laid a foundation for me. Also, I found that using a bernat baby blanket yarn makes it not only easy to hold but also that it’s easier to see. Happy crocheting!

Thank you so much! I am a beginner and whenever I can't understand the basic stitches in any tutorial, I come back to your beginner friendly videos. Thank you so much for making these

For anyone having a hard time (like I was) keeping your rows the same amount of chains and symmetrical, hold the yarn really loose and do very little tension so the loops are bigger. It makes it so much easier to learn that way! Even using a hook that’s a little bit bigger too. I finally am getting the hang of it now

Hi! I'm glad found your channel. I crocheted years ago but had forgotten. I have a grand daughter now and am looking to make her a blanket! I miss crocheting but needed the 'refresher' course and I thank you for this! Just watching this one video brought it all back to me. Thanks again!

THANK YOU!!! I DID IT!! I've never understood crochet. I've tried years ago, failed, got frustrated, and then gave up. I decided to give it a try one more time. It took a few hours of trying and starting over (my error because I kept loosing count), I got it. I'm so happy. I'm gonna make a bunch of them, sew them together, and make a pillow!

I will edit this everyday to see how well i learn to crochet. Day 1. I learnt how to chain and made a braclet out of chain stitches Day 2. I learnt how to do a single crochet! ( in the morning ) Day 3. I am getting better at doing single crochet! Day 6: ( Sorry I forgot to update it.) I can now crochet a square! Tysm! Hello a update I have been crocheting for a while now and I can do so many different stitches. I'm working on a sweater now!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial! Another update I finished the sweater and have made a beanie!

evryone: crochets something amazing me: crochets a a huge line and being proud

I watched this a few years ago and couldn't do it so I gave up now I'm back to this video and I'm finnaly making a full square I'm gonna use it as a pot holder I'm gonna hopefully eventually move up to blankets and clothes it's addictive once you get the hang of it 😊

simplydaisys just out here saving lives. thanks for teaching my gf how to crochet!!

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.

Me: Wow crochet is so cool I want it to be my new hobby! The crochet in this vid: beautiful My crochet: ⬆️↗️⬇️⬅️↘️↖️↙️➡️↙️⬇️↗️↗️

All my family said it's for professional work and you can't do it except my mom and I worked so had people told me it's a wast of time and you will get no where but I didn't stop and eventually I got the hang of it and now I can make beautiful sweaters perses and other stuff this video helps along thanks!!!!

The journey to learn something new never stops

These comments made me feel whole again after crumbling down trying to make my hands do anything they are supposed to. Thanks y'all :D

EXCELLENT TEACHING STYLE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for going slowly and having the camera nice and close!!!❤❤❤❤

This tutorial helped me so much!!! I was struggling to crochet my friends didn’t help me at all but this helped me crochet Tysm!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for this! My mom began a large crochet blanket with her grandmother 20-25 years ago, but she died 13 years ago and they never finished it. I was named after her,(my great grandmother) and I thought it would be cool to learn how, but I literally have never have done crochet ever, so this is really helpful! Hopefully after a while of practicing I’ll be able to finish the blanket :)

I just wanted to say that I am an 82 year old man who took up crotchet many many years ago as a holiday pastime, by following a Patons booklet called ‘first steps in crochet’, belonging to my mother. I found it much easier and quicker than knitting. My favourite was to crochet baby matinee coats . But then life took over and I let it slide. Now I’m back since I rashly promised my grown up granddaughter a pair of mittens for Christmas. So I’m having to relearn the skills. Thankfully there are lots of very clear books and KZfaq videos like this one to help. My reason for writing is to encourage more men to take up this hobby. Once you’ve mastered the process it is very relaxing and I haven’t had anyone mock me for doing it - mind you I am a sturdy specimen.

I am ao determined to get this. I am watching, rewinding, watching again, putting rhe video down to gwt rhe hang of just making one decent looking chain, fetting the muscle memory down of how to use the hook... I bought one of those little plush toy crochet kits because I hear that is a really good way to learn. I will learn how to crochet and crochet well if it's the last thing I do!

I went to hit like on this because I am reminding myself of the basics after walking away from the hobby for a few years and realize that I hit like on this when I started crocheting six years ago. Thanks for the video!

4 years ago I watched this video, after my grandma who crochets said I couldn’t ever learn. Nowadays I teach her new patterns, crochet remains one of my favourite hobbies. I just wanted to come back and say thank you, this video changed my life.

Video: has happy cherry music Me: getting angry with a ball of yarn

Thank you! I have watched several videos on crocheting and yours is the first that actually had good images and explanations of what you were doing. I was finally able to do my 2nd chain!

I want to say how good you are at teaching me this. I can hardly wait to get going. I'm practicing with some yarn I already have but want to use cashmere. After watching both of your videos I went to two other people to ingrain it all in My mind and realized you are so much better with your illustrations. Thank you very much.

Day one: cries, throws phone, punches stranger Week 3: I made a smol socks/pouch..?? 😭😂 I'm so happy. 2 years later: ok guysss!!! i stopped practicing after a month or two and picked up my hook and yarn after 2 years and now i can crochet (kinda 🤣) i tried crocheting the famous cat ear beanie and it turned out quite okay 🥹

I haven't touched a crochet hook in almost 50 years, and even back then I only did berets, because I gave up on creating a straight line, and just did increasing circles until I had the width I desired, then decreased until it would fit my head. It was fun, easy, but not what I wanted to do. My crochet tutor of the time always went too fast and never really explained things clearly. In this one video you have elucidated the biggest mystery that haunted my early attempts - I was missing that extra chain at the end!!!!! Now that I am retired I foresee getting back into crocheting finally, and I am going to be visiting your videos a lot!

This suggestion is from my crafting teacher but this girl in my class helped me, without her and the video I would be falling hard, hopefully I can finish!

I have learned so much from your tutorials! You explain the steps so clearly! That’s so much for helping this 50+ lady learn how to crochet 😊

Im a 49 or old big ol hairy Caterpillar mechanic. Thanks for teaching me this! I've just started making a blanket for my wife. 4 rows done!

Me spending 10 hours straight trying to make a single chain: *chuckles*

Thanks for the tutorial. Picked this back up after 29 years and this was very helpful.

I finally get it. Your video finally showed me that when we go under that braid, we hook the string to pull ONLY under the braid first, leaving me with the two loops on the needle, and then I hook the string AGAIN to pull through the two loops, then repeat! For some reason I never understood that before your video and would make some weird amalgamation 😅

Everyone: Harry styles cardigan Me: wanna make a blanket that I’ll pass on to my kids someday 👁👄👁

everyone: wants to make a harry styles cardigan me: wants to make the bee

Your way of explaining was soo good ...i made it in my first try thank you soo much

Just received my beginner box, plenty of starter materials. I have found my tutor home. Started the simple knot and just repeating the starting moves, after 20 minutes of watching and restarting, the movements are becoming more fluid, memory muscle. I will stay on this hook and pull through until its very comfortable, then restart the tutorial. Im a 50 year old male in North Carolina, USA. I always watched my grandmother do anything home maker and was always in awe of how she made all these wonderful things. I would rather do this and read than be online tik toking, or watching tv. Put the tech down and learn something new as often as possible that can add to your life and others.

For other new people finding this difficult, It took me about 5 weeks of trying to finally make this same square. It's not as perfect, but it took me a long time to figure it out. I'm really glad I kept trying, even though it was difficult for me.

Can't tell if this is hard or I'm just stupid, probably just me.

Restarted crochet after 16 years!! Thank you for your tutorial. It made it super easy for me to follow along :)😊

I wanna learn crochet soooo muchhhh!🤩 I HOPE WE ALL MAKE ITTT!!!🫶🏻 we really need to encourage ourselves!😭🌼🌷

The watch time on this video must be insane from all of us going back and rewatching steps like a billion times

I haven't even started and I'm already crying

Thank you so much, Ive been struggling to crochet, and everyone says its easier than knitting, no its not. I love to knit. Your video has helped me, thank you. South Africa

Struggled a lot but you help me I watch so many videos and you are the one who help me

Omg reading everyone's comments on how hard this is just killed my confidence! She definitely does make it look easy, let's see how this goes....may or may not report back, depending on results:)

To those who are frustrated, I found that it helped to slow it down to 0.5 speed so you can follow along slowly. Also, there's the added bonus of simplydaisy sounding incredibly drunk.

Omg thank you! My friend recently started teaching me and she got me set up making great chains etc and taught me single stitch but this was super helpful in helping me fully understand and actually make clean looking stitches! I'm so happy with my little square 😭💕

Everyone is saying that this was really hard but for me this definitely nice and I didn’t find it that difficult , i am also a beginner and this is my first ever chrochet and it turn out to be ok !! It was as a great tut !!❤❤❤ Edit: by the way i am not even using the hook and just made one by myself with a hanger 😅

Reading the comments... I see so many people here trying to make Harry Styles Cardigan and I don’t even know what that is-

i’m glad reading the comments that i’m not the only one struggling. she makes it look so simple!!

This kinda helped but when I asked my mom she helped and now I know how to crochet and I learned how to do it in probably like 20 secs mums deserve an award❤️❤️

Fabulous instructions, clear and concise. I’m an absolute beginner and will have a go. Will give update if I succeed.

0:00 - intro 0:52 - make a slip knot 1:15 - hold the hook 1:52 - crochet a chain 3:35 - crochet a single crochet 7:02 - weave in ends

I am determined to learn how to crochet by 2024! Since a child I can always remember being so fascinated by the skillful technique one has learned to put together a blanket and all sorts of clothing etc... I will be turning 50 years old in January expecting my first grandchild due in March of 2024! Better late than never! I am really hoping to to one day master such a skill.

I am a boy and I and I want to crochet. Thank you for teaching me.

Thank you, this is the first time I actually made a semi decent looking chain!!! I’m so excited

Why is everyone wanting to make a Harry styles cardigan I just want to make a hat for my dog.

Why is this literally the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to do 😂😭😭 My brain isn’t comprehending how easy this should be.

You are just amazing im 64 and tried to crochet but failed every try but you my dear are great at teaching TY

The amount of times I had to take a break before I lost my temper with this is astounding. Lol Still working on it, but it tests my patience for sure.

Guys you will improve 😭 I've been trying it for a bit of time each day and after a few days of raging and crying I've finally got the hang of it 😌 just take a break and try again :)

This tutorial was so much easier to understand than every single other one i've seen, you really follow every step with care and explain it in a way that is really easy to understand, thank you :3

My mom did this when she was a kid and she still like to crochet and she’s teaching me how right now!

Me sitting in my bed at 3:50am because I wanna make the Harry styles cardigan: 👁👄👁

me who’s and expert at making rainbow loom bracelets, but still fucks up in the middle of the work:

Practice practice and put it away when frustration sets in. 😅 You are a good teacher. ThankYou!!
