Crocheting Lefty
United States
Приєднався 18 лис 2011
I learned to crochet when I was 16 in my home economics class. My teacher was right-handed and had no clue how to teach me to crochet. Can you believe it, I was her first lefty!! She really worked for her money that year lol. Eventually, together we figured it out and I learned to crochet. I have to say, I was hooked (pun intended), but it wasn’t until I was 21 that the craft really took a hold of me. My first project was a Cal. King blanket for my mom and dad.
Fast forward to today, I have been crocheting off and on for 23 years. The last couple of years I decided to get serious about my craft and fulfill my dream of having my own business. I dove right into Etsy, spreading my creativity on Instagram and Facebook. But it wasn’t enough. I have a need to give back to all amazing supportive people in our maker community and provide patterns, how to crochet stitch videos, yarn information, and other various crochet resources all for free. Let’s get creative together!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Guess I just needed a visual after trying 4 times to "get it". Thanks again! 💕
You're so welcome! I'm so happy I could help.
do have a calss of crochet
Muchas Gracias avia buscado mucho tiempo un vidio asi mi hija es surda Gracias
You're very welcome.
Fantastic instruction. Also, I would like to know how would you do this for increasing two times into one stitch ? So, three stitches in one stitch. I really don't like the hole and bulkiness of increase of two.
I would space it out. Instead of doing all your increase in the last stitch, place one increase in the second to the last stitch and next increase in the last stitch. You can use this tip for both increases. Let me know if this was helpful.
Hi I am following you both in instagram and you tube. You have explained the book very well. Would like to see more videos on various crochette books.❤
Thank you so much for commenting!! Congratulation on winning this book! I'll DM you on IG for your information.
I love the colors!!! Those look so soft and amazing, nicely done
Thanks so much! 😊
Very nice review. Thank you 🙏🏽
So glad you liked it!
Can I just tell you how excited I am to have found your channel!!? Thank you so much for all you do. Lefties unite!!!...lol
YES!!! 🙌🤣
Beautiful stitch pattern
Thank you so much
Will you Make me A beanie with that pattern
I sure can. It'll take me a little bit tho. ;-)
Ok thx
I'm using this to make a butterfly's body and it's coming out pretty nice!!
Oooh I'd love to see how that turns out!! Do you have an IG account I can follow?
@@crochetinglefty5541 hey!! I'll make another butterfly top these days! Sorry I didn't see your message earlier :( my Instagram is join_the_yarn_side ❤️🦋
I found you!! Your tops are super cute!!
Gday 🐨🇦🇺, do you have a half diamond video please 😊
I can get started on that for you 😁
Hello! The pattern calls for 5 - bulky weight yarn. Could I sub with 4 - medium weight yarn? If so, what adjustments do I need to make to the needle size? Also, something that I came across was that different sites had different weights for the red heart dreamy yarn; some were listed as 5 and some as 4. I was a bit confused about that.
You will need more yarn if you decide to go with a medium weight yarn. Bulky weight is about twice as thick as medium weight. If you use a medium weight yarn with a larger hook, your stitches will be lose. It depends on the look you're going for. Hopefully I didn't confuse you. Let me know if I can help you more.
@@crochetinglefty5541 thank you for answering! My search for similar yarn continues! 😂
Have you tried Michaels or Yarnspiration?
Are you wanting to use the same yarn?
@@crochetinglefty5541 I would like to but there has been a weird discrepancy with the yarn. Some of the red heart dreamy yarn are coming up as 4 instead of 5. I would like to stick with it as it comes with the needed amount per skein or something similar if you can recommend!
Wow! I need a lot of practice to master this stitch. It's kinda confusing but I'll try :)
It took me a little bit to master myself. Is there anything I can do to make it less confusing?
@@crochetinglefty5541 I guess I have to keep practicing :) thanks
Is there anything I can do to help you more?
I am left handed too thanks so much for this video I make this shapes for a blanket but need help how to put them together please also make videos of toilet sets ponchos doilys doll clothes hats scarves will appreciate your work is beautiful and easy to follow from South Africa God bless stay safe
Thank you so much for your comment. South Africa that's amazing!! I will definitely put together a how-to sew the pieces together a video for you. This year is all about adding free patterns for you guys too. For March I will have Celtic cable ear warmers.
Great review... NEW YEAR BOOk! Consider these two books International Bestseller 📚 Higher Is Calling & Just eat the worm by Maxwell Adekoje for personal development. Happy New Year 🎊
Thank you so much. I will check those books out.
I've been trying to figure this pattern out. I. Going to give it another go as you make it look easy
Let me know if you have any troubles. I'm sure we can figure it out together.
