I’ve just started to learn how to crochet and im getting really annoyed. I tried making a hat, but after a few circles around, it folds in A LOT (and it shouldn’t)
and im also crocheting too tight, but don’t know how to make looser loops. Its difficult to re-insert the crochet needle because the loops are too small/tight.

What are some helpful tips? I really want to pick up this hobby, but I always seem to have some issues with it.

I’ve been crocheting a lot lately and I think it’s starting to be a problem. I don’t want to have to stop my favorite hobby–does anyone have any suggestions on how to avoid repetitive motion problems?

When you think of learning a new skill like crochet or maybe even knitting, it often seems like it is something that will require a huge investment in time and result in many frustrating hours trying to learn something that looks almost impossible when you observe someone who has years of experience.
Actually, learning how to crochet is a lot less difficult than you may think. I have personally taught people to crochet in as little as 20 minutes. That’s not to say that they know how to perform every stitch and make any project imaginable, but they do come away with a basic knowledge of crochet which certainly allows them to start creating their own items right away. It is very easy to learn how to crochet things like dish towels and scarves.
If you have explored the world of crochet at all, you may have heard the names of various kinds of stitches that sound a bit strange. Things like the cluster stitch and reverse single crochet stitch. Yes, it can take some time to learn some of the more advanced techniques, but there is a vast array of things that can be made with the knowlegde of just three of four easy stitches. That is all it takes to get you started and keep you busy with different project for quite a while.
There are other possible benefits to learning crochet as well. Some people find that they have a natural talent for creating their very own designs and may even decide to start their own small business selling the items or the patterns that can be used by others to make them. Although there are thousands of free patterns available on the internet, original and unique patterns are still purchased by crochet enthusiasts all the time.
If crochet is something you have thought about learning and have held back because it seems too difficult, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. With the proper instruction, the vast majority of people pick it up quite quickly and easily. Don’t hold back. Take that first step today to learn crochet and find out if it is something you will enjoy.

I have been crocheting for various charities for years and really enjoy what I do.
I have been crocheting for various charities for years and really enjoy what I do.
I am out of yarn now and need to stock up again. Any ideas other than the usual websites? I have exhausted most of them.
Color and weight doesn’t matter since there are so many ongoing projects.
Thanks in advance for all your ideas!

Dannielle asked:
I’m a beginner who only knows how to make scarfs with the single crochet stitch. I found some really good yarn and I want to make a blanket, however, I think single crochet would take a long time and a lot of yarn. Is there a simpler way? What stitch could and I learn and could you explain?
