You're the only person who actually explains everything properly. I'm a complete beginner and you have helped me so so much already. From chain stitch, to this. You're amazing. Please never stop with your videos. X
This was actually a LIFE SAVER every granny square video I watched that was “beginning friendly” was definitely not. You explained everything so well. And it even works with my semi chunky yarn I’m using too!
I particularly appreciate how Bella slows down in those essential moments and actually uses her fingers to pull the stitches or point out what she is referring to. It seems unimportant but it helps so much to beginners.
Wow! Thank you for the tutorial, after 3 unraveled practices, and 2 hrs later I was able to make my very first granny square. New to crocheting, all I’ve made is beanies with loom- so this was fun and very excited to continue!!
I’m not a beginner, I’m over 70 and taught myself to crochet when I had my first baby at 21. I’ve used this stay at home time to complete 4 baby Afghans and trimmed several receiving blankets for two friends who are going to be grandmothers for the first time. It’s a great hobby. Good luck.
This was so incredibly easy to follow. I’m not a beginner to crochet, but I’ve never done a granny square before and I was able to pick this up immediately. Thank you for the tutorial!
Wow! I just made my first ever granny square by following this video. It took at least 3 unravels and re-doing and what seemed like a thousand rewinds and reviewings along the way. I'm so glad I decided to persevere. I'm now looking forward to making our bedspread . Thanks so much, Bella, for bringing back to crochet after such a long break
It took me two and a half hours to get through this video but honestly it as so worth it. You demonstrated/explained it so well and my first ever granny square came out so nice. Thanks for the help! 😊
Omg I have been trying to do this for 44 years!!! I started crochet at 5 years old. Never could do this. Everyone has tried to teach me. I watched this and literally just made my first one and I am so darn proud of myself.
4 hours and 18 restarts (not exaggerating) and I freaking DID IT. It's perfect! Thank you so much for the amazing tutorial. This is the first thing I have ever crocheted and I'm so happy!!
@@asiasmith9334you’ve got this!! Keep going! I’ve crocheted a whole queen size blanket now and am so happy I didn’t give up. New things take time to learn 💜
I've crocheted for years and have made granny squares but I found that your tutorial was great and would be extremely easy for any beginner to follow. Speaking clearly in your explanations while showing what/how you are doing it is wonderful and very important, so keep up the good work
I’m doing great!My needle is in the wall,The Yarn is all over the floor and Is drenched in my tears! (Not really but I’m so mad right now,This is a good example Im just having a hard time)
You have to remember that crochet is practice and patience do don't give up. You may find it easier to try out my beginner tutorials first, here is the link for the first one (you will find the links to the other 4 underneath the video where it say "show more") :- ua-cam.com/video/GcOzdAzmtNM/v-deo.html I wish you the best of luck and let me know how you get on :)
This was really helpful! I have known how to crochet since I was five, my mum taught me! But I could never get the hang of starting off, my mum used to do it for me. Its been some years since I have done any crochet and my mum has since passed. I decided to pick it back up again as it was something me and my mum used to do together, plus I found it relaxing to do.
I struggled with granny squares for so long yet I could make anything and everything else😂 this tutorial is the only one I found that finally made it click!! So no, you're not the only one!❤
Wow. This was the first video I found after searching for awhile where someone taught/explained this well enough that I was able to actually make my first granny square. So excited. Thank you!!
I tried doing this using a book back in college & got too confused and quit. Trying again 15 years later & I DID IT! This video made it SO EASY! Thank you so much. It’s been a life long dream to make my own large colorful granny square blanket! Now I’m one step closer to making that dream a reality! 💖💕🙌🙏
I have some parts of my brain damaged so it is really hard for me to follow instructions, but I crocheted with you and didn’t mess up ONCE. Absolute godsend of a woman ❤️😁
I'm the same and I find a lot of instructions too difficult to follow and I give up. This tutorial was very helpful and I successfully did a granny square!
The first time I followed this tutorial earlier this week, it took me 3 hours and 5 unravels to complete my first ever granny square. I just followed this tutorial again and it took me 1 hour and 0 unravels! I'm so proud of myself (which is a rare occurrence) and so grateful to you. 💜 I'm someone who benefits greatly from very thorough, visual instructions and this is perfect. Thank you so much! 🥰 The last time I did any crocheting was in elementary school, so 25 years ago, give or take 😉 back then my teacher held up my project for everyone to see, only to say "this is precisely how NOT to do it - the stitches are too tight". It's haunted me ever since and hasn't helped my issues with anxiety 😅😢 it might have taken me a few decades but I'm back at it, and so excited to watch my progress 😊
I worked my way through all your beginner videos and now I’ve made my first granny square. Thank you so much for explaining and showing so clearly! I already love crocheting.
Thank you for this useful video! This is my first time trying a granny square and I succeeded! I am just a kid who picked up crochet a few weeks ago, and thanks to your channel, I now can crochet different patterns!
I love the Bella Coco site. She explains everything and doesn’t assume you know which space or stitch. I have learned so many things from her and always recommend this site to other people.
Your other granny square tutorial got me started crocheting back in 2017, I've made one baby blanket and one large blanket following those guidelines. Thank you for sharing!
Oh my gosh...it makes sense now!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial - I can see your stitching clearly, and you took me through it so slowly, explaining everything along the way. I loved that I could pause it as I went, as I was able to make one treble stitch, as you made three! I look forward to getting better, and faster, with more practise, now that I know what I am doing!
After years of frustration at not understanding instructions on how to make a corner, I now can thanks to you! Your videos are so very clear & you take time to explain every step clearly & without rushing. Thank you very much for this tutorial & helping me to master corners & to make a Granny Square.
So apparently there are several different ways to make a granny square, and this was the first tutorial I tried (after trying three or four others) that didn't have *anything* confusing in it, which means I was actually able to complete the square! Thank you for being awesome!
Thank you so much for making this tutorial, and taking the time to slowly walk and talk us through each stitch. I've been trying for AGES to crochet my first granny square, and I must have gone through over a hundred videos, and yours has been the only one that's actually helped me. I've know crocheted my first ever piece (albeit just a square lol), and now feel ready to make some more for my first ever project!
I've finally done my first square without any mistakes. It's taken many, many tries but I've got it - now I've just got a blanket of squares to make lol. Don't give up hope everyone, you'll get there. Thanks so much.
This was an amazing tutorial. I had just started crochet around 2-3 days ago and this was easy to follow. For any beginners watching this video as their first project I would recommend starting small like doing a mini heart or flower and practice crocheting on them and then starting with bigger projects just so it doesn't feel overwhelming at the start.
You have the patience of a saint! Thank you so much for a fantastic video. I watched all the way through, then purchased a ball of yarn and a 5mm hook, then had you on Stop/Start, and "Ta Da" I have produced my very first respectable-looking Granny Square! 😘
So glad I found this tutorial, have spent the entire evening getting very frustrated with all the other tutorials I tried! Good speed and you don’t just assume we’ve remembered everything and picked up the pattern before charging off without us or fading to a later on, I like that you showed the whole process!
This was so easy to follow I'm not a beginner to crocheting but this was my first attempt at a granny square. This helped so much and I can't wait to show my aunt.❤
Dude she went so fast how I'm not a beginner but I can't do this tut it's way to fast and I have to pause the video every 2 second it's really annoying 😭
@@Harveybloxy it's okay I have been taking lessons from my aunt so I already knew the basics, if you're starting from the very beginning beginning then it's going to be a little harder. Just keep trying and practice you'll get better in no time
Thank you for making this so understandable - just hearing someone say that I need to work into the previous corners helps so much. I'm an older adult beginner and this is not obvious to me. I'm taking an online class and everyone else seems to be experienced already. It finally makes sense.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you. I learned to crochet watching your channel and my first project was your starburst blanket. Fast forward two years, and many projects later, thanks to a minor stroke, I'm medically retired from work. Due to balance issues, I spend most of my time on my ever widening derriere! I'm relearning to crochet watching your channel, as well as following your journey as a mum on your other channel. You really are an inspiration. I'm hoping the 'birthday fairy' brings me a video camera on Tuesday, as my next recovery goals are to learn to 'UA-cam' and blog. Can't think where that idea came from 😉😉 Thanks again, from another 'Midlander', Dotty xxx
Jane is so pleased you love my videos! Happy birthday for Tuesday. I hope you get the camera! Good luck with vlogging! (You will probably find a video which will be on my other channel soon really handy!) 😊💗
This is such an amazing tutorial, its great for teaching troubleshooting as you go along as well. Although i restarted 5 times i feel like its helping me pick it up really quickly because i was able to tell something wasnt quite right. Thank you so much this is such a valuable resource!!!
This is such a beginner friendly video! Things that other crochet tutorial "for beginners" videos treat as common sense, like the tip you gave at min 11:10, is so detailed and helpful. I was following along step by step and felt like I had done something wrong, but you immediately helped me figure that out. Thank you!!
Using this tutorial to make a granny square bag,I've already made 6 granny squares in 3 days. Definitely recommend this tutorial,if you have nothing to do ALL day I'm pretty sure you can make 6 in TWO days because I'm lazy and eat crisp and watch Netflix as well.
@@bellacococrochetI'm sorry but this didn't work at all, I'm not that new of a crocheter but this didn't really make anything.. just a ball of random chains and stuff.
I made a small lap blanket by using this granny square tutorial. I just wanna say I've watched quite a few of your videos and anytime I'm ready for a new project I go to your page first. You're so good at explaining and also showing visually. I really appreciate what you do
I have a very hard time picking things up and this video was so clear and showed me exactly how to do it! I’ve been crocheting for years and I just made my first granny square. Thank you so much for this!!!
i'm crocheting just for two weeks and i was able to do this in 40 min, your explaination makes it so so easy, i can't wait to do more to make a beautiful cardigan ✨ and guys keep up with the pratice, everything is possible✨
Hello, I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and let you know what an impact you have made on someone. You are such an awesome teacher. You made this tutorial so easy for an absolute beginner like me. Till today I never even picked up a ball of yarn or crochet needle so I can't believe i have actually made a granny square and have been able to do this! I have to admit, it's taken me a good couple of hours to get used to the feel of what I'm doing but you explained it so thoroughly and simply I was able to figure out what I am looking for and I have nailed it! My mum is so amazed at the work I've done lol. You are the absolute best! Thank you once again x x
Shabna Shahid I know this is an old comment but I totally agree with you. My mom sat and helped me crochet a granny square for 3 hours, and now I'm trying to do one on my own... not as easy to start! She definitely made one of the best tutorials around! My Mom was getting frustrated because I didn't get what she was explaining so now that I can make my own I just let her think that she taught me that! 😂 all in all when my Mom's happy, the family is happy... this video was a life saver!!
I love how you do it in basic ways.. I've been searching for this kind of video to follow.. good thing I found & started trying to make same pattern as yours.. At first I was disappointed not able to do it on my own but after finding your video that look simple, I am able to make one.. I'm aiming to make a crocheted blanket or bed cover, hope I can finish it.. Thank you so much for your video, it's really helpful🥰 Looking forward for more of your crochet videos.. God bless & be safe to you, and everyone
By far the best tutorial I've seen. Made my first granny square tonight thanks to you ❤. As someone who's been knitting since I was 8, I've struggled to pick up crochet. 22 years later, I'm giving it a go now
I’m getting some crocheting stuff in the mail tomorrow and I’m literally so excited! It’s been years since I did it and I never really learned properly or even used an actual book so this will be fun
After a few hours of practicing I started my granny square blanket for my great granddaughter. I am a visual learner and Bella’s videos are easy to learn by. Now if I could understand the written directions.
Hi Sarah. I am a new subscriber. I have always wanted to learn to crochet and this year I decided I would make time to actually do it! Your channel has been recommended to me by several crocheters and I just wanted to say that your tutorials are the best. You make the projects so easy to understand and follow and you film so that it is clear to see exactly what to do and where to put your hook. Thank you for making learning crochet less stressful!!! Can I ask, are you planning to bring back your vlogs? I've been going back through all of your uploads and I love your vlogs x
Hi Kellie! Thanks for your message. I feel honoured to have been recommended to you. I’m so pleased the videos helped you in your journey. I now have a whole new channel for lifestyle videos 😊 ua-cam.com/users/sarahjaynefragola (if this link doesn’t work- just search Sarah-Jayne Fragola xx
Thank you for explaining the stitches & why they're placed where they are. I've wasted hours watching tutorials trying to learn. Watched yours & was able to make my 1st granny square 😊 I'm so proud of it ❤
I'm working up a baby blanket with this tutorial. I'm so thrilled with how much I've learned from your absolute beginner tutorials and now the granny square tutorial. I've been crocheting for a week and I feel like I can actually do this!
This is the best tutorial I’ve ever watched. Not just for granny squares or crocheting but for ANYTHING. Thank you so much for being so thorough and informative!! I’m in the US but will forever say treble now 😂
ive tried like 3 different videos and this is the first one to make it click for me and actually explains which holes youre going through, etc. thank you so much i cant wait to start a project!
Hi! I just started crocheting and your videos have helped me tremendously, so far I’ve attempted the circle coaster and granny squares and both were successful☺️ Thank you so much for making these videos🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
This was my third crochet project (after two crappy bookmarks) and this video was so helpful I watched 4 others and was ready to give up but I watched this and you went so slowly so I could follow along. Thank you❤
I'm trying crochet for the first time and this video was amazing!! the last granny square video i tried to follow i accidentally made it into a star and was pretty confused about that (I still am tbh) but this video was easy to follow and allowed me to make something pretty for once!!
I’m a complete beginner and at the end of this video I had made a nice looking granny square with no frustration or confusion. This video was amazing and you are a wonderful teacher! Thank you!!!
This was really helpful!!I managed to make loads and sew them together to make my real life horse a rug it took 1 yr but without out you he wouldn’t have a nice and snug crazy rug. Thank you so mutch. -Mintyplayzzz and her horse Midnight.❤
You are such a marvelous teacher !!! I have wanted to learn how to crochet for many many years but I've never found anyone with enough patience haha but finally with your tutorials I have managed to make my first project . Thank you so much for being so generous in sharing not only your artistic talent but also your marvelous teaching skills ✌️❤️
Years ago I had a few people trying to teach me to crochet and I just couldn't get it at all. And I watched so many video's. Then I found one finally that made sense to me. But because I was stupid and didn't save it i couldn't remember what one. And I have to say a huge huge thank you for this fantastic tutorial. You have done it in such a way i understand what you are teaching us. This week I'm going to get some wool and start some. You are a great teacher. Oh yip I've saved this one
I have started crocheting two days ago, and figured out how to make this granny square in just 2 tries! Thank you so much for making your tutorials actually beginner friendly and explaining very detail ❤
This is So helpful i have seen 5 - 6 tutorials but this is so understand - able and pleasant I actually did it in my first try . It came out soo good Thank you 😊 🦄✨
I too wanted to add a Huge Thank You -finally instructions for Granny Squares that I was able to follow. I struggle with following Any sequences whether street directions or creative pattern making ..yet I only had to undo R1 once before restarting and finishing my first ever Granny Square. 😃♥️
Thank you for this tutorial. I finally learned how to get the Stitch right by watching your video. I had such a hard time getting it right by watching other videos, but for some reason the way that you explained it was very well done in this video.
Thank goodness for you. I was taught by my Grandmother about 60 years ago and used to make blankets, hats and hot water bottle covers. I then was taught knitting and kept up with that, until now. I had forgotten everything then you reminded me and I thank you for that and your very easy to follow instructions. Take care.
Thank you sooooo much!!!!! This toturial is amazing and i subscribed btw i'm 12 and i got into crochet a few months back, bcuz i started knitting when i was 9 and found ur channel which was about crochet so i wanted to try it out and now im pretty good at crochet!😁❤
Huge thank you for this video!! I always try to figure these things out myself and end up with a complete mess, lol. Accidentally made a granny triangle the first time I tried haha
This was a very good tutorial. She did an amazing job at making it beginner friendly and explaining each step in great detail. My favourite thing is that she kept on explaining each step to the very end. I personally do not like it when tutorials say “Then you just repeat until finished.” Excellent job! Thank you!!
What always perplexes me is...how did the first person to do this figure it out? They were a bloody genius
This is what I ponder when doing stuff like this too 😂
Yes - me too!
Happy accidents
This is just a theory of mine, but I think it could've been an autistic person who figured it out, given how most of us have special interests
@@LaughOutRandom I'm also autistic, and this checks out tbh.
You're the only person who actually explains everything properly. I'm a complete beginner and you have helped me so so much already. From chain stitch, to this. You're amazing. Please never stop with your videos. X
Ahh thank you so much that really does mean a lot to me :)
I am doing my first creation
Thanks heaps, you are the only person who explains it properly and go step by step with us, thank you so very much.

I love love the way u explain STEP by STEP, u are a Excellent Teacher, All Tutorials should be like this
Completely agree. Others start doing it so quickly, using terms I do not understand, and it becomes a video on “look what I can do.”
this video was the literally definition of "trust the process"
Yes! I did not think I was gonna make it😂😂😂.....and here I am with my first successful granny square.

Oh my gosh...it makes sense now!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial - I can see your stitching clearly, and you took me through it so slowly, explaining everything along the way. I loved that I could pause it as I went, as I was able to make one treble stitch, as you made three! I look forward to getting better, and faster, with more practise, now that I know what I am doing!
Just done my first ever granny square! I can’t believe I did this! Thank you so much for your tutorials xx
You’re very welcome and well done 😊
Same!
After years of frustration at not understanding instructions on how to make a corner, I now can thanks to you! Your videos are so very clear & you take time to explain every step clearly & without rushing. Thank you very much for this tutorial & helping me to master corners & to make a Granny Square.
You're very welcome :)
So apparently there are several different ways to make a granny square, and this was the first tutorial I tried (after trying three or four others) that didn't have *anything* confusing in it, which means I was actually able to complete the square! Thank you for being awesome!
Thank you so much for making this tutorial, and taking the time to slowly walk and talk us through each stitch. I've been trying for AGES to crochet my first granny square, and I must have gone through over a hundred videos, and yours has been the only one that's actually helped me. I've know crocheted my first ever piece (albeit just a square lol), and now feel ready to make some more for my first ever project!
You are very welcome :)
I've finally done my first square without any mistakes. It's taken many, many tries but I've got it - now I've just got a blanket of squares to make lol. Don't give up hope everyone, you'll get there. Thanks so much.
You're very welcome and well done for not giving up :)
This was an amazing tutorial. I had just started crochet around 2-3 days ago and this was easy to follow. For any beginners watching this video as their first project I would recommend starting small like doing a mini heart or flower and practice crocheting on them and then starting with bigger projects just so it doesn't feel overwhelming at the start.
You have the patience of a saint! Thank you so much for a fantastic video. I watched all the way through, then purchased a ball of yarn and a 5mm hook, then had you on Stop/Start, and "Ta Da" I have produced my very first respectable-looking Granny Square! 😘
Joanne Barlow wahoo!! Awesome news x
So glad I found this tutorial, have spent the entire evening getting very frustrated with all the other tutorials I tried! Good speed and you don’t just assume we’ve remembered everything and picked up the pattern before charging off without us or fading to a later on, I like that you showed the whole process!
You're very welcome :)
I had been struggling with trying to learn this all day and now finally it works! This brilliant tutorial did the trick. I will be forever grateful!
I've been trying to do a granny square for 10 years and following along with you made a real difference. I understand it now. Thank you sweet lady
You are very welcome :)
This was so easy to follow I'm not a beginner to crocheting but this was my first attempt at a granny square. This helped so much and I can't wait to show my aunt.❤
I'm so glad that it helped you :)
Dude she went so fast how I'm not a beginner but I can't do this tut it's way to fast and I have to pause the video every 2 second it's really annoying 😭
@@Harveybloxy it's okay I have been taking lessons from my aunt so I already knew the basics, if you're starting from the very beginning beginning then it's going to be a little harder. Just keep trying and practice you'll get better in no time
Thank you for making this so understandable - just hearing someone say that I need to work into the previous corners helps so much. I'm an older adult beginner and this is not obvious to me. I'm taking an online class and everyone else seems to be experienced already. It finally makes sense.
You are very welcome :)
I just wanted to say a massive thank you. I learned to crochet watching your channel and my first project was your starburst blanket. Fast forward two years, and many projects later, thanks to a minor stroke, I'm medically retired from work. Due to balance issues, I spend most of my time on my ever widening derriere! I'm relearning to crochet watching your channel, as well as following your journey as a mum on your other channel. You really are an inspiration. I'm hoping the 'birthday fairy' brings me a video camera on Tuesday, as my next recovery goals are to learn to 'UA-cam' and blog. Can't think where that idea came from 😉😉 Thanks again, from another 'Midlander', Dotty xxx
Jane is so pleased you love my videos! Happy birthday for Tuesday. I hope you get the camera! Good luck with vlogging! (You will probably find a video which will be on my other channel soon really handy!) 😊💗

Pratima Das a good aew🎁
Good
This is such an amazing tutorial, its great for teaching troubleshooting as you go along as well. Although i restarted 5 times i feel like its helping me pick it up really quickly because i was able to tell something wasnt quite right. Thank you so much this is such a valuable resource!!!
You're welcome :)
You ma’am are a freakin gift from god. I’ve never been able to do one until today. Thank you so freakin much😭
You are very welcome :)
This is such a beginner friendly video! Things that other crochet tutorial "for beginners" videos treat as common sense, like the tip you gave at min 11:10, is so detailed and helpful. I was following along step by step and felt like I had done something wrong, but you immediately helped me figure that out. Thank you!!
You are welcome, I'm glad it was helpful :)
Using this tutorial to make a granny square bag,I've already made 6 granny squares in 3 days. Definitely recommend this tutorial,if you have nothing to do ALL day I'm pretty sure you can make 6 in TWO days because I'm lazy and eat crisp and watch Netflix as well.
I'm glad it's been of help to you :)
@@bellacococrochet :DD
@@bellacococrochetI'm sorry but this didn't work at all, I'm not that new of a crocheter but this didn't really make anything.. just a ball of random chains and stuff.
I made a small lap blanket by using this granny square tutorial. I just wanna say I've watched quite a few of your videos and anytime I'm ready for a new project I go to your page first. You're so good at explaining and also showing visually. I really appreciate what you do
Thank you so much, that is really lovely to hear and makes it all worthwhile :)
❤I’ve made the granny square and just have continued to make it bigger and bigger is this what you have done to make the blanket?
@@JimmyCarter-u4b yes it is
Great tutorial! I go through phases with my hobbies, each time I circle back around to my crochet hooks this video comes in handy :)
Thank you, glad it's helped you :)
I have a very hard time picking things up and this video was so clear and showed me exactly how to do it! I’ve been crocheting for years and I just made my first granny square. Thank you so much for this!!!
You are very welcome :)
Who else is here in 2020 lockdown trying to gain a new skill?

i'm crocheting just for two weeks and i was able to do this in 40 min, your explaination makes it so so easy, i can't wait to do more to make a beautiful cardigan ✨ and guys keep up with the pratice, everything is possible✨
Well done :)
Hello, I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and let you know what an impact you have made on someone. You are such an awesome teacher. You made this tutorial so easy for an absolute beginner like me. Till today I never even picked up a ball of yarn or crochet needle so I can't believe i have actually made a granny square and have been able to do this! I have to admit, it's taken me a good couple of hours to get used to the feel of what I'm doing but you explained it so thoroughly and simply I was able to figure out what I am looking for and I have nailed it! My mum is so amazed at the work I've done lol. You are the absolute best! Thank you once again x x
Shabna Shahid I know this is an old comment but I totally agree with you. My mom sat and helped me crochet a granny square for 3 hours, and now I'm trying to do one on my own... not as easy to start! She definitely made one of the best tutorials around! My Mom was getting frustrated because I didn't get what she was explaining so now that I can make my own I just let her think that she taught me that! 😂 all in all when my Mom's happy, the family is happy... this video was a life saver!!
I love how you do it in basic ways.. I've been searching for this kind of video to follow.. good thing I found & started trying to make same pattern as yours.. At first I was disappointed not able to do it on my own but after finding your video that look simple, I am able to make one.. I'm aiming to make a crocheted blanket or bed cover, hope I can finish it.. Thank you so much for your video, it's really helpful🥰 Looking forward for more of your crochet videos.. God bless & be safe to you, and everyone
You are very welcome and I'm glad it was helpful :)
Thank you so much. No other tutorial really helped me as much as this one. Thank you for being slow and patient like I was there with you!
You're very welcome :)
Same.
By far the best tutorial I've seen. Made my first granny square tonight thanks to you ❤. As someone who's been knitting since I was 8, I've struggled to pick up crochet. 22 years later, I'm giving it a go now
I'm glad it helped, and well done for not giving up :)
I’m getting some crocheting stuff in the mail tomorrow and I’m literally so excited! It’s been years since I did it and I never really learned properly or even used an actual book so this will be fun
After a few hours of practicing I started my granny square blanket for my great granddaughter. I am a visual learner and Bella’s videos are easy to learn by. Now if I could understand the written directions.
Hi Sarah. I am a new subscriber. I have always wanted to learn to crochet and this year I decided I would make time to actually do it! Your channel has been recommended to me by several crocheters and I just wanted to say that your tutorials are the best. You make the projects so easy to understand and follow and you film so that it is clear to see exactly what to do and where to put your hook. Thank you for making learning crochet less stressful!!! Can I ask, are you planning to bring back your vlogs? I've been going back through all of your uploads and I love your vlogs x
Hi Kellie! Thanks for your message. I feel honoured to have been recommended to you. I’m so pleased the videos helped you in your journey. I now have a whole new channel for lifestyle videos 😊 ua-cam.com/users/sarahjaynefragola (if this link doesn’t work- just search Sarah-Jayne Fragola xx
Bella Coco thank you x x x
Kellie Cockcroft ugh

Thank you for explaining the stitches & why they're placed where they are. I've wasted hours watching tutorials trying to learn. Watched yours & was able to make my 1st granny square 😊 I'm so proud of it ❤
You are very welcome and well done :)
I'm working up a baby blanket with this tutorial. I'm so thrilled with how much I've learned from your absolute beginner tutorials and now the granny square tutorial. I've been crocheting for a week and I feel like I can actually do this!
Well done 🙌 let me know how you get on and don't forget to share your finished blanket :)
This is the best tutorial I’ve ever watched. Not just for granny squares or crocheting but for ANYTHING. Thank you so much for being so thorough and informative!! I’m in the US but will forever say treble now 😂
You are very welcome :)
I’m 55 and only picked a crochet hook up two days ago and I’ve managed to do this
Thank you
You are very welcome and well done :)
ive tried like 3 different videos and this is the first one to make it click for me and actually explains which holes youre going through, etc. thank you so much i cant wait to start a project!
You're welcome :)
Finally, after several attempts, I have finished my granny square. Very clear instructions. Thank you
You're very welcome :)
Hi! I just started crocheting and your videos have helped me tremendously, so far I’ve attempted the circle coaster and granny squares and both were successful☺️ Thank you so much for making these videos🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
You are very welcome :)
finally a crystal clear tutorial on granny square! Thanks for sharing!
This was my third crochet project (after two crappy bookmarks) and this video was so helpful I watched 4 others and was ready to give up but I watched this and you went so slowly so I could follow along. Thank you❤
You're very welcome :)
I'm trying crochet for the first time and this video was amazing!! the last granny square video i tried to follow i accidentally made it into a star and was pretty confused about that (I still am tbh) but this video was easy to follow and allowed me to make something pretty for once!!
I'm so glad it was helpful to you and remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will get :)
Thank you so much. Your tutorial really helped me as a 12 year old crocheter😅😅😅
You’re welcome 😊
10/10 would recommend it was the EASIEST TUTORIAL
I’m a complete beginner and at the end of this video I had made a nice looking granny square with no frustration or confusion. This video was amazing and you are a wonderful teacher! Thank you!!!
You're very welcome :)
am i the only one who's just happy i got the five holes after 10 minutes of crocheting?
Excellent demonstration. Thank you
Hi, Coco this is my favorite crochet tutorial. And you are doing great. Thank you very much. ☺️
This was really helpful!!I managed to make loads and sew them together to make my real life horse a rug it took 1 yr but without out you he wouldn’t have a nice and snug crazy rug. Thank you so mutch.
-Mintyplayzzz and her horse Midnight.❤
You're welcome :)
the only video that actually explains everything perfectly and is not fast. thank you so much
You are welcome :)
I decided to actually make this into a blanket!
Wish me luck!
Wishing you luck :)
How did it come out? :)
Did you make the blanket?
You are such a marvelous teacher !!! I have wanted to learn how to crochet for many many years but I've never found anyone with enough patience haha but finally with your tutorials I have managed to make my first project . Thank you so much for being so generous in sharing not only your artistic talent but also your marvelous teaching skills ✌️❤️
You are very welcome :)
I was having trouble finding that center circle so I used a safety pin as a marker and finally it started to look like something!
Practice and patience that's what crochet is all about :)
Yes, I opened a paper clip and started using that😂 It definitely helps
Wish we could add pics on here, I've somehow created a little lump on mine like it's growing a tumour
@@lauratheexplorer1994 oh dear! Doesn't sound good. 🙄
I did the same with a stitch marker :)
Years ago I had a few people trying to teach me to crochet and I just couldn't get it at all. And I watched so many video's. Then I found one finally that made sense to me. But because I was stupid and didn't save it i couldn't remember what one. And I have to say a huge huge thank you for this fantastic tutorial. You have done it in such a way i understand what you are teaching us. This week I'm going to get some wool and start some. You are a great teacher. Oh yip I've saved this one
You're very welcome and remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will become, good luck :)
Hiiii
Only been crocheting for a week and this is an amazing video. Thank you ❤
You are very welcome :)
Just made my first square! Thanks I find this tutorial really easy to follow x
I’m just starting to learn crochet, and your videos are my go-to! You are incredibly informative and easy to follow. Subscribed! Thank you!
You're very welcome and I am so glad that I have been of help to you :)
I have started crocheting two days ago, and figured out how to make this granny square in just 2 tries! Thank you so much for making your tutorials actually beginner friendly and explaining very detail ❤
It’s a really good tuto, It’s well explained and easy to follow through. Thank you so much for this video ❤
You’re very welcome 😊
I started crocheting again after about 30 years and this was a nice refresher. Thank you

I actually did it in my first try . It came out soo good
Thank you 😊 🦄✨
Glad it helped :)
I too wanted to add a Huge Thank You -finally instructions for Granny Squares that I was able to follow. I struggle with following Any sequences whether street directions or creative pattern making ..yet I only had to undo R1 once before restarting and finishing my first ever Granny Square. 😃♥️
You are so welcome :)
Thank you for this tutorial. I finally learned how to get the Stitch right by watching your video. I had such a hard time getting it right by watching other videos, but for some reason the way that you explained it was very well done in this video.
Such clear and precise instructions! Thank you heaps I have learnt so much from watching your channel. Keep them coming please.
You're very welcome :)
23:20 just saving my place for tomorrow :)
Thank goodness for you. I was taught by my Grandmother about 60 years ago and used to make blankets, hats and hot water bottle covers. I then was taught knitting and kept up with that, until now. I had forgotten everything then you reminded me and I thank you for that and your very easy to follow instructions. Take care.
You are very welcome :)
this is best crochet tutorial i’ve seen!❤️ its clear and easy to follow
I'm glad that it's been helpful to you :)
Thank you sooooo much!!!!! This toturial is amazing and i subscribed btw i'm 12 and i got into crochet a few months back, bcuz i started knitting when i was 9 and found ur channel which was about crochet so i wanted to try it out and now im pretty good at crochet!😁❤
Me to
Huge thank you for this video!! I always try to figure these things out myself and end up with a complete mess, lol. Accidentally made a granny triangle the first time I tried haha
You're very welcome :)
This was a very good tutorial. She did an amazing job at making it beginner friendly and explaining each step in great detail. My favourite thing is that she kept on explaining each step to the very end. I personally do not like it when tutorials say “Then you just repeat until finished.” Excellent job! Thank you!!
You are very welcome, I'm glad it was helpful :)
