You are by far the best teacher of crochet on YT! Very concise, camera close enough, patient in your demo of stitches… you simply cover everything clearly! … oh, and no music! Perfection all the way around.
I am British but live in Pennsylvania, USA and taught myself to crochet in July. I have really caught the crochet bug and love blankets. I found your channel and it's great to have clear instructions. I love your blankets and am currently making your gingham style blanket. It looks fabulous and I love it.
I have tried loads of UA-cam tutorials for absolute beginners and frogged everything because I was getting lost mid instruction. Your vid really got me moving forward. The fact that everything was repeated several times with commentary every time and you said no one is judging the work made me relax more. The photography and choice of yarn made it clear what each step did. I’m not very good but YOU made me persevere. There is a reassurance in your voice and also a light heartedness in your delivery. Thank you from a person who thought they were stupid because everyone makes it look so simple and yet I wasn’t getting it. If anyone is on the edge of throwing in the crochet towel give this lady a chance. She made me feel it was possible and I am chaining; single and double crocheting - SLOWLY, but I don’t mind. THANK YOU
Awwh, you are so welcome and you are 100% not stupid.🤗 It is just practice and time. You should have seen of my first crochet when I was learning.🤦♂️ I am glad you have kept going - you can do this.x
Many thanks. I taught a kids crochet class in the spring and the most difficult part was the first row of single crochet into the chain because their tension on the chain was too tight. When I teach them again, I'll start off their ball of yarn with the first row in place so they can get the rhythm down. I have heard a lot of knitters say they started out with just the knit stitch after their teacher cast on for them.
I have to say… I watched my great grandmother crocheting for years… I was never able to master it. When I watches this I could hear my grandmother saying “you’re holding your hook wrong” 45 years later and watching this video I finally understand what she meant! This video was great I “think” I finally understand! 😂 🧶
Robin, thank you. You cut to the chase which is excellent when teaching even when you do tutorials you stay focused. Nothing worse than videos where people need to waffle about the yarn, the texture bla, bla boring and annoying. You are by far the best teacher! Thank you for that.
This was great.. I just started looking into crocheting. And wanted to find someone before I bought anything. You are great. Now I feel like I can get a beginner kit and just start trying. Then, use your videos to help me progress. Thank you!
I only briefly watched a video that popped up on my Facebook page and I was “hooked “ on your amazing teaching skills. I’m a beginner and have watched hundreds of tutorials and you by far hands down are the best! 😊 thank you!
Two of my granddaughters and one of my grandsons are all learning to crochet, and getting quite skilled at it! It makes me happy to see this beautiful, useful and satisfying craft being learned by a new generation. Thank you for this excellent refresher course on the basics! 😊
This is sooooo great for beginners like my granddaughter! I think she has the single double and now the half double down but I sent this to her anyways. Thanks! 💕💕
Thank you for this really clear and well explained tutorial! I really struggle following other tutorials and get so confused about which hole to go through, what’s the first stitch etc. you’ve inspired me to dig out my hooks and have another go 💜
hiya robin! nice of you to think of the beginners. im fairly self taught (many decades before YT!!) and this would have been a blessing! have a terrific week! xoxo
I have watched sooooooooo many tutorials over the past few years and simply couldn’t wrap my head around crotchet…. Then someone recommended your videos and holy cow I get it!!!!! Practicing, screwing up, ripping and starting over with just these three steps until it becomes more natural…. In a few days I’ll search for a simple project and see how it goes. Thank you for your clear and concise teaching style!!
You can definitely do this Jessica, it is just practice and time.😀 I am glad my video has helped and these may help too: ua-cam.com/play/PLP0pPGx0kI8-ryt9f_jazZC5oyRd5eIqI.html&si=4irhJd5dRWTxIHzL
Omg ur a star, I finally get it!! I’m just a mare beginner and I just couldn’t get passed the first line of stitches. But now I understand how to move to second line of stitches. Thanks 🙏
Your instructions are so in depth I finally was able to do it. It’s not perfect, but you remind us to concentrate on learning the stitch and not perfection. Thank you. I have two skeins of Bernat baby blanket yarn and I’m going to make a little blanket with single and double crochets.
Thank you so much!!!! Truly the only video that’s helped me understand a single stitch, now it looks easy which I’m sure it was but being brand new this is so helpful!!!
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!! ❤ I got a load of yarn and hooks for Christmas and I’ve been making random messes ever since lol Good practice at least!
Hooked by Robin, you are my favorite online crochet teacher. Your delivery is clear, the videos are excellent, and the instructions are doable. I only wish you were a Lefty. That is the bane of my crochet journey. I've tried several of the patterns you offered and have some fun things I'm proud of. Please keep posting.
Thank you so much, that’s so kind!🥰 If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on UA-cam yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed.😃
Perfect tutorial for these three stitches! My adult daughter is going to be teaching her best friend and wasn't sure where to start...this is it. I shared your tutorial with her! By the way, LOVE your speckled nails today! So pretty
Woww I'm learning how to crochet and this video helped me most! I scrolled and scrolled, finally I came across this one! I'm so glad I came across your channel! Your the best crocheting teacher on UA-cam!!!❤
Oh my goodness. I haven't done this in over 30 years ( I'm 60) and recently decided, after relearning how to sew and creating a wonderful capsule wardrobe, that I needed to relearn how to crochet. My goal is to add a few handmade cardigans and pullover sweaters to my wardrobe. I like your videos. I will surely need to practice my stitches before tackling a sweater. I'm giving myself the spring to improve if not perfect and will spend the summer and autumn actually making the garments. My great grandmother used to crochet and I have the afghan she made before my mother was even born. It's a lovely piece.
I have a 8 yr. old granddaughter who's just learning. We live 5 hrs. apart, so lessons are far apart. I'm sending this to her! Great tips! Wonderful to see you 😊
I’m getting my daughter in law hooked on crotchet & have sent some of your videos because I like your videos the best, for their clear explanations & demo’s 💕 Thank you 🙏 🥰
Thanks so much this video helped me tremendously I appreciate it very much. I'll be back to learn more, I was told you were an awesome teacher and I can see why they would say that! Thanks again!
Thanks for this video. I’ve been trying for sometime to learn how to crochet. This video has been the best one I’ve watched and I actually got to do the three stitches and I understand it. Now to follow your other videos and learn how to read a pattern. Thanks again

I do believe chaining can be very tricky as well. It’s so hard to keep your tension proper with the rest of your project. A lot of the time your chain ends up too loose or too tight. It is all practice. I always tend to chain looser than my project and then, without a border of some sort, it looks funny. Thank you so much, Robin. I love all your videos and have so many saved. PS I always love your manicure 🫶🏼
Hi robin ,l love watching you on UA-cam, l love the way you teach, so for that reason lm going to start crocheting l just love the way describe an love the sub titles. Thank you
Lol. Seems a lot of us didn’t really need to watch this video but there is definitely a general consensus that we’re crazy about all your videos. You are an amazing teacher 😊😊
I absolutely love your tutorial videos 🤗! They're always full of really easy to follow instructions, descriptions and demonstrates. They're definitely for beginners learning to Crochet 🧶🪡✂️!! Thank you Hooked by Robin ☺️
I started crocheting 1.5 years ago. Learned from UA-cam but I wish I had found you first. You are my go to for basics and new ideas and I may need to blame you for my budding yarn addiction…could you or have you a tutorial on proper hand positioning? My technique is horrible!
Hi Kristine, ah I am glad the videos help and you can never have too much yarn I say!😅😀 Check this video out too: ua-cam.com/video/jg2p9gM7U5A/v-deo.htmlsi=OjoEjhrzh_w8OFwO
Just shared with a friend that's been wanting to learn. I knew you would do a much better job teaching. So happy to see you again 😊. Say hi to Camalama Dingdong!!
I just 💜💜💜💜watching your vids‼️ I’m so glad you’ve gone back to the pretty nails 💅🏻..Pooh on those that say your nails are distracting. I’ve been crocheting 🧶 & knitting for a very long time, but I so enjoy watching your vids not only do I learn something or a different way to do something, I just 💜💜💜💜 that accent. Makes the vids so much more enjoyable. As usual, you explain everything so well and don’t unnecessarily repeat (over and over and over) as some do. I find that so annoying. Thanks again for your great tutorials. Suggestion for a future vid… what are American and English terms different. Thanks 💜
Thank you so much, it is so lovely to be back!😃 I really appreciate your kind words too. I have this link on my website for the difference in terms: www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet-stitch-conversions I hope that helps.🤗
Thank you but I’m so sorry.. autocorrect changed a couple words and I didn’t read before I sent…I was asking if you could explain why English and American terms are different. I’ve been curious and can’t seem to find any explanations… thanks💜
Hi Robin im a relative new subscriber i love your channel ive watched a lot of your tutorials which are amazing thank you so much im so enjoying my new crotchet journey im making a circle in a granny square blanket after making a granny square stash busting one in yellow and oranges i never managed a granny square till i found your channel thank you for all your hard work 😘
What hook size do you recommend beginning with? I got my first a 3.5mm because the storeowner told me its a nice begginner's size but I am finding working with it quite hard due to loops being so small. Is it because I am an absolute begginner or because 3.5mm hook is not recommended for beginners? 🤔
I'd definitely recommend a larger hook and some thicker yarn to start it - it means you will be clearly able to see your stitches :) I tend to suggest a chunky yarn with a 6mm to start x
I didnt need to watch ,but I'm definitely sending this to my daughter 😊 ,also quick question for you ,would you do a crochet xmas tree video ? Ive looked on youtube but found nothing i liked and you're soo easy to follow 😊
Thank you for sharing!🥰 Never say never but until then, here are the rest of my Christmas videos.😃 ua-cam.com/play/PLP0pPGx0kI8-otKSyoN1hJ1TvbWT7vJPT.html&si=VEWEaWsxh4eTkZMd
I'm in the "there is no right/wrong way" camp as well. I (right hand dominant) learned to crochet by sitting across from my left handed Sister (Robin you WILL laugh til you hurt over that one😉) she held her yarn totally wacky bonkers and I just followed suit...to this day my left hand looks like its trying to take flight! It's ALL good Ladies & Gents....its whats comfortable to/for you😁!
I have a question. I've watched another crotchet channel. She refers the single as either american or I believe European. Can you please say whether or not your single is American or European? I'm a beginner
The single crochet is an American term :) I have a full list of the differences between the 2 terms here: www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet-stitch-conversions
Now you've learnt the 3 core stitch techniques, try this one next! ua-cam.com/video/RwnArj7HdXo/v-deo.htmlsi=jbPys2H1nS72GAUO 👈😃🧶

So cute!
“No one cares what this little sample will look like”. My brain: 🤪😅
😂
The only skill I would add for beginners is how to properly hold the working yarn in the "non-hook" hand.
I don't believe there's a wrong way to hold the yarn. I hold mine in an "unusual" way, but it gets the job done and it's comfortable for me.
I'm definitely in the "there's no right or wrong way to hold yarn" camp - I have a very unusual yarn hold myself 😅🧶
I’ve tried to hold my yarn like Robin does but I just can’t do it. I think everyone has their own method that works for them.
Thank you Robin - every tutorial that you kindly share with us is educational and appreciated ! ❤
I'm in the "there is no right/wrong way" camp as well. I (right hand dominant) learned to crochet by sitting across from my left handed Sister (Robin you WILL laugh til you hurt over that one😉) she held her yarn totally wacky bonkers and I just followed suit...to this day my left hand looks like its trying to take flight! It's ALL good Ladies & Gents....its whats comfortable to/for you😁!
I have a question. I've watched another crotchet channel. She refers the single as either american or I believe European. Can you please say whether or not your single is American or European? I'm a beginner
The single crochet is an American term :)
I have a full list of the differences between the 2 terms here: www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet-stitch-conversions
Why does everyone skip that first stitch? That’s the only way I got my edges straight

🥰🧶
You missed a stitch . Half double crochet stitch. That goes in between single and double crochet stitch stitches.
I am showing the 3 stitches that will teach all the techniques to be able to do any other stitch with ease (like the half double etc)
@@HookedbyRobin👍
If you learn to do a single and a double, you will easily do a half double - that is Robin’s point!
