FAQs??
-How many squares do I need for a baby blanket?
This can vary, it really can be however big or small you like, but i generally do 4x4 or 5x5.
This blog post might be useful: blog.bellacococrochet.com/how...
-How many chains shall I do for a *single/double/etc' blanket?
Again, this can vary. I would suggest that you do your chain and lay it down agains the bed you are wanting it for. It should be the same width. You should then ad a few more to make it a little wider.

-How much yarn do I need?
Unfortunately, I will be able to answer individuals questions about how much yarn you would used do to multiple factors affecting it. Such as, your tension, the size of hook and the yarn being used.

My parents are wondering why I'm sitting at the table, with yarn in my hands, and crying right now.
That happened to me two years ago lol. But now I am making a comeback. ✨
Yeah I can’t do it at all. Her hook has a tall grasp (top hook thing) and mine is TINY. It doesn’t grab any of the yarn when I do yarn over at all
@@theworm4366 SAME!!! Mines hook is sooo small for some reason 😶
Same here. I tried doing but the single one going somewhere else🥰🤗🤔
I am so happy there is a comment section here :)) happy to know I'm not alone..
✨ Successfully ties a slip knot on my 20th try ✨
Me: “Time to set up my Etsy shop!”
Lol and I thought I was the only one
Hahahahahah at least we nail our slip knot
🥰 do it!!
SAME LOL
Felt this
Is there anyone watching it in 2024
No
First video of hers I’m watching
Yes I am I can knit but I can’t crochet
Just starting to crochet today
@@alisonclarke5600same knitting is so much easier
i have gained a new respect for crocheters after this.
Tar 😂😂 pain in the arse it is 😂😂
Yeah really..people who sell their handmade crochets deserve better..
Agree
Yallllll I did ittttt after at least 50 try’s. The trick is to talk to the yarn nicely and be calm with the yarn… The yarn will sense your frustration and use it to its advantage
Well done, just remember that crochet is practice and patience :)
Bahaha I'm researching into crochet, saw this comment and laughed out loud. Very familiar with the concept of speaking to inanimate objects. I work in IT, do it with computers all the time, so speaking to yarn will be easy!
Thanks for the tip I usually yell at my crafting supplies when I’m frustrated 🤣
@@maddieschulz3537 Oh yea! i totally relate :)
the yarn still won’t cooperate

I've been knitting for most of my life and decided I wanted to learn crochet. After a week of absolutely failing to be able to do a single stitch, I found this tutorial, and I was finally able to make a chain. A million thanks!
You are very welcome :)
😭😭😭I haven’t even TOUCHED my tools yet & everyone is saying theyre crying… knowing the typa person i am i’ll be crying too
Right.
Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to wait until I'm emotionally stable before trying this
Naurrr ya'll can do it I learned it after 5min 🎉
@@patrickjuniper8689it takes 5-10min if your cal enough, u can definitely do it
whoever is reading this and you feel like giving up, just know that it will be worth it when you make your first successful project! Remember no one knows how to do something at first, you have to learn and it can take time! Good luck and know you CAN DO IT!!
THANK YOU!!! 💕 I keep telling myself that I should be able to know this by now even though Ive been at it for only 10 minutes, I need to calm down 😂
What if i just practice and never actually create any projects
I’ve been practicing for hours crying but this gave me happy tears
Thanks for motive
I spent 3 years just to make one stitch ( of course I gave up)
I watched this when I was first starting off and I was so frustrated that I couldn’t get the chain down. I probably watched this 10 times to get it right. Now, a year later I can crochet almost anything! Don’t give up ❤️
That's brilliant well done :)
Congrats hun! 😊 That is my goal. Since im just starting.
I needed this, so thank you, this is my 5th video and I've just done my first slip knot. Safe to say I was close to giving up!
Good job and thanks
Nice, watching this the first time, lets see where i go
For those struggling with the slipknot, watch at 0.5x speed. There's a point where the yarn goes to the other finger which I was missing. Very clear when slowed down
oh my god thank you so much! I was struggling and about to cry 😭 God bless you and have a good day
@@pinkqqqhaha no problem! I was there too!
BLESS YOU. So helpful!!
That’s brilliant!!!
Or tie a slip not the other way, the simple way lol.
I love that she showed how to unravel the first piece of yarn. I was struggling to find the end but she was so confident when she did it that I realized that naybe the firs piece goes into the yarn itself.
Quarantine squad where ya at?
yeah after three weeks i found stuff my grandma gave me years ago and figured why not. I cant be much more bored than i am now
AYYYEEEE
Honestly have crochet stuff for some reason band just want to see my friends
Here
Elizabeth Fawl I'm wanting to make some jug covers the same as my great grandma did with my grandma's crochet kit.
proving harder than I thought.
does anyone know how to get the chains to look tight like hers did without having too much tension that you can't get the hook to pull thru?
I took really well to learning a slip knot. My sis already does this and gave me white yarn to practice with. Im making the world's longest tampon string!
Hahahaha
I laughed way too hard at this lol
LOL
Oh my God, I snorted when I read this!! 🤣
Made my day!
Oh boy I've learned from so many people how to do a slip knot and I could never get it to stick. And then here comes you with THE SIMPLEST METHOD EVER!!! Thank you so much❤
You're welcome :)
I have wanted to learn how to crochet for ages just never gave it a try until today. Your videos and instructions are so clear. The chain was a bit of a struggle but I finally did it. Going to practice before I move on to the next step! Thank you so much x
You are very welcome and remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will become :)
I'm literally studying rn and I just thought that I needed to learn crochet. I swear it's crazy.
👍
@@bellacococrochet can anyone which needle is best for weaving
i was studying one day and then i was like i wanna learn origami and crochet. like outta nowhere
It is usually when i need to study that i also get inspired to learn new things other than what I'm supposed to be doing lol
@@OnyxMoon81 ikr
This looks easier in the video than when i try it in real life
Edit: Wooah ty for the likes. Btw I learnt how to make a crochet square now so just keep trying 😊
Just remember crochet is patience and practice 😀
Artaholic24 hf because she practiced
Yeh i tried and tried and just ain't working for me, mum even showed me and nopd
Same thats why its hard but i try and try and try and try and try and any patience i figure it out
Oh great guys as I am a beginner and will make some mistakes so hi everyone I’m karen xx
I always thought that crocheting would be hard(which it currently is for me), but it’s turning out to be a lot better and easier than I thought! My friend already knows how to crochet, and she made me something which got me into crochet. I thank her so much for that, haha. I thought I might have to watch multiple videos, but no, yours made my first experience wonderful❤
I'm so glad that it has been of help to you :)
I used to crochet quite a bit. Never anything “fancy”, only single or double crochet. Anyway, after years of NOT crocheting, I forgot how! I have watched your videos over & over. They are great refreshers. Thank you for sharing these instructions. I really appreciate the absolute “beginner” instructions also. Trust me, I need them! 😊
You are very welcome, I'm glad that they have been of help to you :)
Me with adhd quarantined trying to make a bee I saw on TikTok 👁👄👁 I’m now wrapped in yarn confused

@@kaden587 lmao

My grandmother taught me to crochet/sew during summer visits when I was 7 yrs old. I must have been a very patient little girl & her a patient teacher. she made beautiful blankets for the church. Those memories with her have stayed with me all my life.
That is such a lovely memory.
My grandma tried to do the same thing except I was a little gremlin with undiagnosed adhd so I never got the hang of it. Now that I’m older and actually have an attention span I want to get back into it
@@semidecent4395ooh have you started crochet yet, if so hows your progress?? its fun once u get the hang of it ahaha
❤that is so sweet
Awwww, so sweet!❤
Have been crocheting for 30+ years. Great video! She shows beginners how to wrap the yarn around their little and pointer fingers! Notice that her little finger opens and closes a little bit sometimes. The little finger controls the flow of yarn to either; remain the same, slow down, or speed up. If you think you’re crocheting too loosely tighten up your little finger a bit. If you think you’re crocheting too tightly, open your little finger a bit and relax your shoulders. An indentation on your pointy finger means you’re either crocheting too tightly or your yarn is rough/scratchy.

Hey I’m not the only one!
Bee and a mushroom. I'm a simple human

Any luck lol ? I need to know
@@xoxxosam omg ye I made a tiny mushroom it's so cute. It took me a while tho bc I had to redo it it a few times until I got the hang of it, also bc I kept losing count of how many stitches I'd done

Used to crochet some 25 years ago and as a senior trying to return to it as it is so relaxing. Your videos are to the point, explaining well and have helped me tremendously. As I have returned to renew my skills, realize how tense I am, my stiches are very tight which is presenting problems. Need to learn to chill out! Thank you for your videos.
You are very welcome :)
back in 2016, i watched your video on how to hand crotchet a chunky knit blanket. ive made 3 blankets since then, and recently got a crotchet kit and ive never done crotchet like that before. this video is extremely helpful. thank you for teaching all of us. i have you to thank for this wonderful hobby
You are so very welcome :)
I remember watching this 5 months ago learning how to chain. Now I have made my onw tutorial on how to crochet!

Thank you so much :)
What the heck. This is so simple. Why the heck did I think it was one of the most complex things ever. I LOVE IT OMG??? New special interest unlocked, this will be so useful for doing projects with my recycled yarn. Thank you, you are amazing and have a great day.

5 months ago I tried crocheting and stopped because I got too frustrated, I am now getting back into it! I watched this video and another of yours and i improved a lot. Thank you!
You are very welcome and remember that crochet is practice and patience so keep trying and it will get easier :)
updatwe??
Wow that inspires me a lot Tysmmm ❤❤❤
Aha, GOT IT! 😃 The part about holding the loop at the bottom to get the tension wasn’t explained well in another channel’s video and I ended up stuck trying to figure out how to actually get the yarn moving. This video put me on the right track and I managed to get an itty bitty practice chain going in about 15 minutes! Thank you! 🙏
You are very welcome :)
Oh my goodness this was the fourth "learn to crochet" video that I tried and I was just about ready to give up as it just wasn't working for me but FINALLY IT MAKES SENSE!!!! Seems I just needed to find the right way of holding the yarn that would work for me 😊 Excited to start turning my chain into a square now ❤
I'm glad that it was helpful and remember that crochet is practice and patience so keep trying and it will get easier :)
This video really helped me learn! My mom doesn’t like to do crafty things, but after watching this she got really interested and started along with me. As I’m writing this, my mom is crocheting next to me :)
This is awesome! Did you both keep goin?
Aww, I love that so much! I hope y'all have continued crocheting together. 🥰
awwwwwh
That’s the cutest thing I’ve heard today. You guys are 🥰 adorable.
Thank you for the cuteness
Quarantine got me trying all kinds of new things... One day I was just laying in bed and thought
*"I wonder how hard it is to crochet..."*
And here I am...
Mn
I've successfully tied the slip knot. 🎉 I'll try chain stitch now.. Let's see how it goes.
Just started about 10 minutes ago… this is the 2nd video I watched. The way you wrapped the yarn around your pinky and index finger helped me out a lot. Compared to just my index finger. Looking forward to watching more videos. Ready for step 2 lol.
The tension on the bottom string is something I wanted but didn’t know how to achieve! Don’t give up guys! I went from taking two days to tie a slip knot to making 10 stitches in a row :)
Well done! Tension is something that will get better with practise, but I do have a tutorial with some hints and tips here: ua-cam.com/video/SRVA_4uNsNw/v-deo.html 😊
blud cantt even spell practice@@bellacococrochet
The fact that everyone else seems to be dying over this is somewhat comforting
I jump between various teachers. So helpful
Hello Bella, Thankyou for your lovely, clear tutorial. I did a little crochet as a child but never really got to grips with it. Have watched all of your beginners guides, then found my books and been practicing all afternoon on the 1st and 2nd guides. Gave up a few times but now cracked the first pattern. I'm so chuffed!. Thanks. Lynne
You are very welcome and remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will become :)
Never in a million years would I have thought I would finally learn to do this. This video helped so much ty
You are very welcome :)
Just to put this out there, because I made a silly mistake and I suppose others might make the same:
Make sure you make your slip knot the right way round. I did it the wrong way, which made it tighten when I pulled on the short end and it was nearly impossible to get past that first stitch...
thanks, this was my exact problem as the slip stitch kept shrinking and making it impossible to even get it over the hook!!
@Hannat Balogun I assume you figured it out by now, but you gotta make the loop with the other end of the yarn. I don't know by heart which side, so I keep messing it up but then I can correct myself xD But like, if you make a loop with a short end and a long end (where the rest of the yarn is), you gotta put another loop through it and you can make that loop with either the long side or the short side and one of them is correct xD
@Hannat Balogun Did my very vague explaination help? xD
i’m confused i can’t figure out which was it right lol i know you explained but i’m so lost bro
@@lela5894 you can also just do the first loop with your fingers and then hook the second onto your crochet needle. It's kind of cheating, but you will be able to go on from there xD
This is my second crocheting video I've come to and the comments sections just make me wanna cry and I haven't even started crocheting yet 🥲😅🤣
SO HAPPY THAT I FOUND YOUR VIDEOS ❤ I'M A BEGINNER FOR THIS, AND I'M TRYING MY BEST TO LEARN HOW TO CROCHET!! THANK YOU 🫶🏻
To give myself something to do I have made a Bucket list of things that I want to do/learn and CROCHETING and KNITTING I have made a priority. So far I can chain stitch in CROCHETING and am studying both types of videos. I sew so am looking forward to my lessons on UA-cam 😮😢❤😂 I'm sticking with each until I can get it. I am not as frustrated as I thought I would be. ❤
Remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will become :)

A while ago I wanted to learn crochet, i tried and tried but could not get it. I took a break. And now today I made my first chain! I am still having to go very slow, but every chain makes it easier. Some chains dont work out but thats alright because its way better than before when I first wanted to crochet. It takes practice but if you just believe in yourself, you will learn.
Yes crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will become :)
I've always wanted to learn how to do crochet and now i have enough time on my hands due to Covid 19 is the perfect time for me to learn . I've subscribed to your channel and will be on here everyday now so Thank You .
You're very welcome
Same here
Same here
Thank you for explaining so well and slowly! Other instructors move so fast, it's hard to track my eyes with what's happening to the yarn and hook, but you do a nice job of making sure the viewer has plenty of chance to see all of the steps.
You're very welcome :)
HOW
Started learning how to crochet today at varsity as part of a volunteer program where we make scarfs and winter hats for hospital patients and I have to say I struggled and was overwhelmed, but seeing these videos makes me more excited to continue to learn. Thank you, from South Africa.
You are very welcome :)
I started crochet using these Bella Coco videos, kept it up for 6 weeks or so and gave up. Revisited today and found I still remember slip knot, chain and double crochet! It has so inspired me, to see that I can remember. And this time I will keep it up! Don't give up. Thank you for these great videos x
You are very welcome :)
Watching my 10 yr old daughter trying this is priceless. Thank you for this lol.
You are very welcome :)
my sister is 11 and i fucking hate her shes a rat
I love how simple and straight forward this is! It isn't overwhelming at all!!
truly, most tuts are real struggle for me bc of all the remembering I have to do but combined with the accent and instructions, I'm having a great learning experience
I'm so glad that it has helped you :)
If this isnt sarcastic I’d be concerned
@@keira6361LMAO literally
i still can’t do it 😭 idk if my loop is too tight but i can’t make stitches
I've watched a bunch of different videos for beginners and at some point during them I always stopped being able to get the hook through, so I gave up.
It happened again during this video, but you explained it at the end and it's the only reason I haven't given up. I just need to practice the tension. I will definitely watch the rest of the beginner videos once I've done this right.
Well done for not giving up and remember that crochet is practice and patience so keep trying and it will get easier :)
i love slipknot, such a good band
I am young and wanted to try crochet and this video helped me sooo much!! From someone that never tried to crochet in her whole life, I struggled a lot with the slip knot and had to restart over 20 times!!
You have to remember that crochet is practice and patience, the more you try the easier it will get. Good luck :)
Oh quiet!!! @@bellacococrochet
I'm here preparing for the new year lockdown ☺️
Well it’s here hate it
I watched the above videos during lockdown and tried to follow them and I found it difficult. Just decided I want to try again. I have just been watching the videos again and I feel like I am understanding a little better so going to try again tomorrow. I really want to be able to crochet 🤞
I loved doing this as a child in Germany. Thank you for the WAY you explain stuff. The repeated words help me remember what I need to do .
You are very welcome :)
Thank you for explaining everything so thoroughly, even the different ways of holding the hook and yarn, this was a game changer compared to other tutorials I've watched 🙏🏻
You are so very welcome :)
Thank you SO much for this video! I am a knitter and wanted to learn how to crochet. I bought a learn to crochet kit that comes with video's to learn, well those videos sucked! The instructor was explaining and showing the single crochet( i am from us), but whatever she was showing, my chain was getting all twisted and looked like a tangled MESS! I was getting very frustrated and wanted to give up. Then I found your tutorial...AWESOME you made this fun for me to learn, I picked it up right away. Thank you.
You are very welcome and well done for not giving up :)
Thank you, Sarah Jayne! This tutorial was the best one to help me!
I watched this video 2 years ago as the intention of making my first ever yarn project. I didn't even know what a stich was, neither what project I would start making. I mainly bought yarn to do some tiktok trendy crafts, but then I came across this video which made me have a second thought. 2 years later now I am able to make stuff I never imagined was possible through crochet and living my best artistic life with crochet being a major hobby amongst others.
I'm so glad that they have been of help to you :)
Thank you!! I have had a crochet kit scene last Easter 😅
Me and my dad couldn’t get the first stitch so we gave up, and kind of forgot about it
But with a video it’s WAY easier. I’m planing on getting new yarn so I can make more things!
You are very welcome and good luck, remember that crochet is practice and patience :)
I have tried and failed several times to learn to crochet and am ecstatic that I am now looking at my first line of successful crochet stitches, all thanks to your really clear, step, by step teaching. I even managed to convert them for my being left handed. Looking forward to the next video when I'm a bit more practised. Thanks so much!
Your very welcome, I do all the beginner tutorials in left handed as well so if you check me out on youtube and type in bella coco crochet for beginners left handed they will come up in a list. Hope this helps 🙂

Hope it's going well! It's a great strategy to have something positive to do when cutting out something negative.

@@zupik1894 honestly it was really nice when i was sticking to it, was a good way of keeping my hands busy other than rolling up every minute🙄and kept my eyes focused on something other than the tv🤷🏽♀️& i have been slacking recently but I’m getting back to it & you def can too…idk how long you’ve been sober but even if you get the urge (which is normal) just try to stay strong 💪🏽
@@jamuslaudat1716 i'm sober since January 7. There are ups and downs for sure. The key is to keep being focused on the ups.
How are you doing it so smooth? Every time I try to do it it stops and make me loose my slip knot!
I'm so frustrated.
I've just had a lot of practise! 😊 It sounds as though you could be pulling your slip knot too tight - try leaving it a little looser and you should find it easier to pull your hook through. Don't give up, you will get there I promise.
@@bellacococrochet Ok, I'll try.
Thanks for the support!

I just found out that I am going to be a Grandma in late April 2021.
So I want to start making blankets and clothes for my grandchild. Yeah!.
We knitted and crocheted back when I was a girl in grade school. We made items, mainly blankets, some girls in the older grades made socks and sweaters, we sent it off to the War effort in Vietnam.
I did make a few items for my children when they were babies, but that was over 45 years ago now.
So I needed to brush up on the techniques.
This internet and UA-cam channel is really something,, it's been especially wonderful during this Global pandemic.
Thankyou so much for sharing your video's here.

Well done and remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will become :)
@@bellacococrochet thank you!! ❤️:)) I’ve gotten so much better 💗
how is it so easy for you:(
This playlist taught me how to crochet a year ago, and I remember throwing my hook in frustration because I couldn't figure out the tension.
Now I've made multiple crochet projects- a full sized blanket, multiple amigurumi, and just made my first sweater!
Surprisingly, learning to crochet also helped me figure out how to knit- I had tried to learn many times, but after crochet, I felt more comfortable with the tension etc ❤ thank you for this!!
You're welcome :)
I’ve had enough today 😂 it was hard at first but I got the hang of it! I did a few stitches then restarted then did a few more to just practice and it did help! I only just realised that I have a crochet hook that is yours! It says Bella Coco on the side!
Ik this is 8 months later, but your comment is genuinely encouraging to me. I've been having a lot of trouble and seeing all the "it was so easy" comments have really discouraged me. I'll keep practicing and try and get the hang of it too :) This is a very good video
Thank you so much for making this video! I wanted to start crocheting so I bought yarn, hooks, and thread markers. But, it was very hard to find good guides to follow! This really helps!
You are very welcome :)
I’m restarting again after 50 years. I need to refresh my technique. My late mother has all I need to restart. I’m much better at piano. Thank you for your lessons!
You are very welcome :)
This was AMAZING!!! I watched a few UA-camrs teach how to crotchet and this by far was the easiest. I had to go over it several times and get comfortable with my middle finger and thumb holding the yarn, but I finally got the rhythm of it! This is only day 1, and I can’t wait to watch your other videos!
I'm glad it was helpful and well done for not giving up :)
I have never crocheted. I started watching your videos & then actually having a go & I'm obsessed! Just made the poppy & I'm really pleased with myself. Your videos are easy to follow & I can't wait to do more. Thank 💕 you
You are very welcome and well done :)

Thanks for explaining from the absolute beginning, I’m doing bag Mats for homeless people and haven’t been able to find an instructional video that didn’t start from the middle, you totally rock chick! Thank you, I appreciate you.
You're very welcome 🙂
Hi, was wondering if u could show us how u made those bag mats. Would be interested in doing the same thing :)
I FINALLY DID IT OMG NOW I KNOW WHY MY SIDES END UP LIKE A DEFORMED SHAPE TYSMMMMM❤🎉🎉❤🎉🎉❤
You are very welcome :)

Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful :)
NOT!@@bellacococrochet
i’ve seen so many video and this one was the only one that i actually learned thank you !!
You are very welcome :)
I cant even get the first stitch my yarn womt go through the slipnot it just slides to the top of the hook :((
It can be tricky to get the hang of it at first - you need to hold onto the bottom of the slip knot as you are yarning over so it makes it easier to pull through 😊

Me too bro me too

Yea I had that promblem too but it’s okay now but I still a noob
Big prech, thank you so much, I bought a pattern knowing nothing about crochet and these videos are helping me so much
I had almost given up on not being able to crochet, but I watched this and tried wrapping the yarn the same way you do and I’m crying from relief because it’s working finally! Thank you for taking the time to teach others this beautiful craft!
You are very welcome :)
Thank you for this beginners video. You just made my daughters day. And mine too. It’s so nice to see her loving something other than video games.
You are very welcome :)

Well done, I'm so glad that they have been of help to you :)

I am so thankful that you were here. I was in desperate need of help because I went to my nanas house and she asked “have you done any crochet since we last saw”. I forgot how to and I felt so embarrassed and my mum just said that I lost the needle….

Thank you so much! This is exactly what my late stepmother taught me twenty years ago, and I just couldn't remember. 💗
You are very welcome :)
Oh my goodness your an amazing teacher Iv tried a few times before and I got my first real chain !!! Yay can’t wait to show gramma she’s amazing and English is a barrier n she’s so fast lol
Well done :)
When I a little boy my grandmother showed me how to crochet a simple stitch because I was curious about it. She told me that sometimes men crochet. However, I never took up the hobby. Now I am an old man, and I might want to give it a try, just for the fun of it and because it is something new and interesting to learn.
Just go for it and remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will become :)
Omg I've nailed this class. Previously, I couldn't even do the slip knot from the step by step diagrams in booklet thingy I got with my crochet hooks. Now I'm cooking on gas. Going to my next class now. 🏃🏻♂️💨 See you all at lunch.
