It's amazing to see how many elders are learning new things on crochet, which is great since they are all so talented already ! I'm 19 this year and I love to crochet, always wanting to learn new stuff, and it calms me down when I'm doing arts and crochet because I'm always feeling this anxiety. People find me weird sometimes, cause they think crocheting are mostly done by more elder people... They do find some of my work cute tho. But they would still judge. Dad is taking me to buy new yarn today :D I'm making a new cardigan for my grandma ! She loves the colour red and I wanted to attach a rose on top :D It's not going to be perfect tho...I'm just worried she wouldn't like it :(

It's so fun sharing new tips and tricks! I say it's never too late to learn something new. 😄 Crochet is one of my favorite ways to relax too! Try not to let what other people think get to you. Trends come and go, and what people find weird one day is the big craze the next day. So if you enjoy crochet, embrace it! You're not the only younger person who crochets, and it might just be that the people who think it's weird are secretly just jealous. Some people will always find a reason to judge others, so don't focus on what they think. Focus on how crocheting does good! Crochet helps with your anxiety, and you're able to make gifts for other people and bring them joy! And I'm sure your grandma will love the cardigan you're making for her. My projects include mistakes all the time and don't always turn out perfect. But in the end, they bring me joy because they're one of a kind, beautiful pieces. I'm sure your grandma will appreciate the time and effort you put into making her cardigan!

I do believe it because I don't recall learning to crochet, seems I just always have. But it was before I started school.

Many years ago I was in a store buying yarn and saw a lady who had brought in her afghan to match yarn to buy more. It was beautiful. I asked the pattern and basically, she held 3 strands of same color yarn and did single crochet. It was simple and elegant. Have since done it myself. A bonus to this: bulky yarn is fluffy and soft, but it can break easier than regular yarn. Using three strands held together, stress is spread out between the three and less likely to break. If it does break it is easier and less noticable to repair.😊

Like many others here, the alternative turning chain completely made my day - and will make my finished projects look so much better - a million thanks!

I've been crocheting for over 50 years and I really enjoyed all 5 tips and tricks. I think my favorite is joining in the round. Your trick on no turning chain is brilliant also and I do something similar called a chainless beginning DC. It's almost like yours but it calls for a YO before going through for first st. The end result, I think, looks more like a DC and is the same width as a regular DC. Thanks for all your tips. I most definitely will keep you on the top of my subscription list.

Thanks for sharing your tips and demonstrating them so clearly. Although the other hacks are part of my SOP, your tip about using 2 strands and alternating colors for gingham/buffalo stitch work was a new one to me. 😀 I've been crocheting a long time too (48 years off and on) but didn't start learning all the great hacks & tips until I had to retire several years ago for health reasons, and started binge watching crafts & crochet videos and classes online. All the years I was working myself (almost literally) to death, I never noticed what a vast wealth of crafting info and instruction was readily available🤯, and finding it provided a new lease on life after the old one fell apart. 😀 Like susan staller, I find the chainless beginning DC mimics a regular DC well. Depending on the yarn, project and stitch pattern, sometimes it works better to do a variation of the chainless beginning DC, do a turn/SC/ch1, use your stacked SC method or something else similar. I like to experiment on the practice/gauge swatch to find what works best for each project. Two of my favorite go-to hacks are securing the live loop with a stitch marker whenever I remove the crochet hook or am done stitching for the day, and the knotless starting chain (no slip knots needed!)😄

I love the doubling or tripling up yarn....what a great idea for making regular yarn chunky. And using traditional yarn with ' difficult ' yarn!!!

I’ve been crocheting for 40 years and never seen some of these hacks. I love the foundation less beginning. Wow!!! Thanks

Talking about naming things, I call the bump the spine. It is the firm part of the stitch that I think is like our backbones, with the two sides of the V as the pairs of lungs. This is not meant,to be gross, just a memory device. This might crack you up: I named my crochet hook parts too, thinking in terms of a bird. The working top of the hook is the head, the edge that catches thread is the beak, the hollow where the thread rests is the throat, and the slender section below the head is the neck. Works for me! I just love playing with words and concepts! Happy hooking.

The foundationless start is a great tip. Also working with the homespun yarn makes sense.

When I make my baskets, I do a row of front loop only single crochet when I start the sides. Makes it more stable and it stands better. I rarely use fuzzy type yarn but when I do I feel for the next stitch as I go so I know where to put the stitch. I think it was Crystal from Bag or Day showed one time in a video to do a turn just chain one turn and start by doing a dc in the first loops. I have been doing it that way since then but I like this way also have to try this. Thank you for the great tips.

I love hack #5: the turning chain alternative. I have always hated the way the edging looks on the traditional turning chain, especially when crocheting taller stitches, so i normally used the chain 2 method. Even though the chain two method didn’t leave gap and its appearance more closely resembled a normal stitch, resulting in a cleaner edge, it left the stitch looking thicker than the others. Your turning chain hack fixes those problems. Thank you!!

I had lots of left over vanna's choice yarns bc I loved all her autumn colors. I combined them w bits and pieces of all my left overs and made a join as you go grandma's garden afghan. It was so fabulous that the first time I put it in the laundramat, it was stolen! 😣

Interesting video, forwarded to my crochet friends. I'm surprised about the first hack, that was just how I was taught, I thought people doing it the other way were being lazy because working the side of the chain is easier than working the back. I prefer a standing double crochet (I think that's what it's called?) to the alternative turning stitches, because it looks extremely similar to a normal double crochet, but it's nice to have options. I've run into situations where a standing double crochet just wasn't working due to the yarn in the project, and I hate how the chain stitches look so much that I don't ever want to use it again. It looks like the foundation stitches would work better for taller stiches too, a standing treble crochet looks a little strange with thin thread and a standing double treble just won't work. My favorite was the foundation stitches, I'd never seen them before and the less stretchy edge of a chain has bothered me in projects before, so I will definitely be using it. Thanks for the tips!
