Starting crochet from scratch? I'm sharing the beginner crochet tips I wish I had known. I was completely self-taught, which meant wasted money, lots of trial and error, and wrist pain along the way. In this video, I share exactly what I'd do differently if I started crocheting all over again.
In this video, I cover:
Which yarn to use as a beginner, and why
The best crochet hooks for beginners
How to hold your crochet hook to reduce wrist and hand pain (hold it like a screwdriver, not a pencil)
My ergonomic crochet hook grip, the Grip-Eaze, and why I designed it
Stitch markers and my darning needle, designed so yarn slides on and off without splitting or fraying
Yarn spinners, including my quad yarn spinner and multi-yarn spinner
My safety eye sizer with built-in stitch marker holder
My storage box for stitch markers, darning needles, hooks and accessories
Everything in this video is designed and 3D printed in-house in Canada by Ruthless Dynamics.
