What You'll Learn in This Tutorial:

Whether you’ve never held a hook before or you’ve just been staring at your yarn wondering what to do with it — this guide is for you.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

🧶 1. How to Make a Slipknot

The very first step to starting any crochet project! I’ll show you an easy way to make a slipknot and get your yarn on the hook.

🖐️ 2. How to Hold the Yarn & Hook

Holding your hook and yarn can feel a bit weird at first, but don’t worry — I walk you through how I do it and share some tips to make it feel comfy.

🔗 3. How to Make a Chain Stitch

The chain stitch is the foundation of most crochet projects. Once you’ve got this down, the rest will flow so much easier!

✨ 4. How to Single Crochet

This is the first stitch you’ll actually build with — and it's perfect for beginners! It creates a lovely solid fabric and is super versatile.

🪡 5. How to Weave in the Ends

Finishing off your project properly makes it look neat and helps it last longer. I’ll show you how to weave in those pesky yarn tails like a pro.


What You’ll Need:

  • A crochet hook (I recommend a 5mm/5.5mm for beginners)

  • Some medium-weight yarn 

  • Scissors

  • A yarn needle (for weaving ends in)

That’s it — nothing fancy needed!


Bonus Tips for Beginners 💡

  • Don’t worry if your stitches are uneven at first — practice really does make progress.

  • Take breaks if your hands feel sore.

  • And most importantly — have fun with it! Crochet is meant to be relaxing and enjoyable 🌼
