TEACHING A BEGINNER TO CROCHET
Channel: Crochet With Tiffany Hansen
Date: 13/03/2020

In This Video I am teaching a friend of mine how to crochet.  She has never attempted to crochet and has no idea what the process is before this video was shot so YOU get the opportunity to follow along with us, learn along with us, laugh along with us as you view our interaction from two different camera angles.  

By recording an actual person learning first hand how to crochet, real questions come up that are answered.  Real mistakes and corrections are made that you may be doing at home with nobody to help you.  It was my hope that by making a video like this I would be able to really help the person who is learning how to crochet for the first time or at least make them more comfortable with the process so that if they do want a more zoomed in view of how to crochet and a more one-on-one tutorial they can simply then go to my How To Crochet Basics Videos and get a more personalized experience.

Of Course, as always, if you have any questions please feel free to ask them in the comment section below.  Make sure to read the other comments first to see if your question was already asked and answered.  You can also message me directly.

Materials:
When first learning you will want a yarn that is smooth and non textured  so that it is easy to see your stitches.

When picking a crochet hook to start with you can either look at your yarn label to see what is recommended (which will work best)  or simply starting with a size H(5 mm) or I (5.5 mm) hook you should be fine.  

When you are first learning to crochet the most common mistake is pulling your yarn too tight and making stitches that are too tight and difficult to work with.  Don't worry!  With practice your tension will loosen up.  Until then use a larger hook to help.

Scissors (of course)
