Wow, you may be a beginner but your tutorial skills are ADVANCED. I've been crocheting only for a few months and what you've done is so smart and better than what most YT tutorials do in that you offer three different notations (the video of you crocheting, the symbols and the abbreviations) but you also make note of things that easily trip up beginners like which hole to stitch into. So smart and so proud of you for dreaming this up and leveling up the crochet video tutorial game.

How you were able to not only complete this but teach it so early in your crochet journey just blows my mind and I've been crocheting for 50 years! You rock girl!

Listen, I’ve been crocheting for 16 years and I’ve never seen a better tutorial!!! I’m not joking! Thank you! Please PLEASE do more

I've crocheted for 45 years and watched this video because I love your Shorts and was curious about how a newbie would teach. This is the actual best learn to crochet tutorial I've ever seen. My daughter has been wanting to learn and I've sent her a link. Great job!

So, I have NOT been crocheting for over 20 years, not much more than about 20 days. I've watched your video and did it step by step - rewinding at least 10 times every round (even my husband now knows the stitches😂) -, pulling out at least a hundred times and starting all over.... but..... I did it! So proud of myself!!! 🏆🏆🏆And English isn't even my mother tongue. Now I wanted to learn my friend but don't know the Dutch words for all the different stitches🤦‍♀. Thank you so much for sharing!

Elyse, THANK YOU! Not only do I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this pattern, the attention to detail, the instructions AS YOU ARE CROCHETING, and the front/back pics after each round is AMAZING! I have been crocheting for over 40 years and have never been able to read a pattern with the markings. You are a crochet ROCKSTAR! ❤❤

I’ve been crocheting for almost 10 years, and I wish this video was around when I started!! The beginner videos are nice, but I definitely was a “dive right in” kind of person. Anyone who knows how to crochet can see all the work you put into this video, and honestly it’s the easiest crochet tutorial I have been able to follow along with! Thank you so much for all that you do ❤❤

I just cant figure out the 16 part as well.. i did 16 DC but when I close the ring it’s 17 stitches.

I would say I’m an intermediate-advancing crocheter and can read a pattern easily. You are a good teacher! Your edits and verbal instructions are easy to follow and I feel this video is perfect for a beginner. Confession, I hate stitching granny squares together.

I have been crocheting for over 10 years and this tutorial is the best I have watched by far! PLEASE do more!!

Hi, I've been crocheting for years, but this is a great pattern and you did a wonderful job of teaching it! I love that you showed the chart and written patters both for each step. A fun trick that I learned a long time ago for working with two colors is to feed a drinking straw onto each yarn before I start. It helps to keep the different yarns from tangling with each other.

Oh my gosh. Long time casual knitter here, I’ve been looking for a reason to start learning to crochet, and this might just be it. I have a feeling this is going to be my next obsession.

Elyse ... I love you for this. Thank you for mainstreaming all the ways to learn crochet into one solid ass video. You're goat.

I am an experienced crocheter, but this pattern was flummoxing me. Your video is hands down THE BEST tutorial for this pattern. Thank you so much.

You are a gifted teacher and I hope that you continue and that your channel and your business continue to grow. I love how you explain things in several different ways. This is the very best style of teaching. I taught chemistry for several years and that is how I taught that complex subject. Everyone has different styles of learning and by showing the connections, it helps our brains remember things better (at least it does for me). It also helps us learn about a style that is less natural (like the pattern symbols) with one that comes more naturally, like visual learning or auditory learning, for instance. Your pauses with explanations is really helpful for beginners. I am not a beginner, but I had to learn many of the things that you explain in my own by trial and error before the days of KZread. This is fantastic for beginners or people new to this design who aren’t beginners too! I think you are awesome!

I’ve never felt so confident in watching something that I could do it, but it’s because you’re so to the point and in detail that I’m able to follow along and understand. I hope you continue to make these. I also hope you know how appreciated and adored you are by people. ❤️

Thank you for sharing. I have been crocheting for over 30 years and I must say your skills are absolutely admirable. You have combined chart reading, with abbreviations and advanced crochet skills into one tutorial packed with substance. So thank you for what you bring.

I’ve been crocheting for years, have made multiple granny square cardigans and know how much work it is… I know how extremely time consuming this will be… BUT I just keep thinking how utterly gorgeous a blanket would be with this pattern 🥹❤

ASMR from Elyse crocheting. I'm waiting for someone to arrive and now I want a nap, this is so relaxing. My guest will have to wake me up knocking on the door. I have a really hard time keeping count, and keeping even tension, but this is really pretty and a sweater of these would be so cool.

Hello Kristina, how are you doing?

My mom taught me to crochet when I was a teenager. I made lots of granny squares for a throw then lost interest, so my mom ended up sewing them all together to finish it. I never crocheted again until about 5 years ago, and I did the same as you. I jumped headfirst into a project, never having read a pattern or anything. Lots of learning since then. I've watched tons of video tutorials, and yours was truly refreshing. You explained the process and the stitch sequence in small "chunks", and included the reason for certain stitches, like the increase. The organization of the info was perfect. The instructions were included at the top of the screen, the preview told us what was next, there was a visual showing what it was supposed to look like, and the corresponding symbols were easy to identify. Your pacing was just right, and your background music was very relaxing. You gave a lot of information, but it wasn't overwhelming at all. It's hard to believe it's your first tutorial or that you haven't been crocheting for years. You're a natural!

I agree to the masses that say that this is one of the best tutorials they have seen. The different ways you allow people to gather their information through is amazing. its written, it is demonstrated and its shown clearly on a picture drawn out what is coming in the next step. Good speed, easy to follow, and very inspiring! Well d one.

I too, have never needed to use the magic circle. I've tried it and it makes sense if you need to adjust after closing the circle but for this use case - totally not needed. Also these are some of the best diagrams/illustrations I've ever seen for crochet. So much easier to understand with that visual!

I’m going to make this once I finish the blanket I’m working on. But I had to comment after watching 20 or so minutes of this… you are an EXCELLENT teacher.

Just want to say your instructions, with the detail, the clarity, large text, are the best I've ever seen. I'm a retired teacher, so from a teaching/learning perspective, you nailed it.

I thought I was the only one who learned this way!!!!! THANK YOU!

I have been crocheting for 50 years. Started when I was four watching my mom. This is such a wonderfully created video tutorial. It is so calming and explains everything so well! I am looking forward to make these.

The fact that people are trying to cancel someone due to the fact this used to be, key word used to be for charity, theses days no ones buying a pattern , these day I don’t even think the money still goes towards the cause , and even if it did it’d be making maybe five dollars a week , come on now people , be more mature ! Elyse did this with such grace and elegance , I’m really in awe , love yah Elyse , keep going !!!!!

I loved the way you did this! It’s so inclusive of different learning style with the way you included written instructions and diagrams along with you actually crocheting. Loved it 10/10

Caught this when it posted. Just wanted to say, I love you Elyse! You're such an inspiration to me.

NO MAGIC RING! what a life saver. I've been hating making amirugumi bc the magic ring. i'll def use your method😭😭😭

This is going to look great on the backseat of my 1970 VW Bug. You did a great job on this tutorial. Thank you!

Anyone following along, be mindful that the stitch terminology is different in US and UK crochet patterns. (Not sure if anyone else has mentioned so apologies if so!)

I find myself using playlists as tags. Or reverse tagging? Idk what to call it. I’m saving this under my crafts, clothes sewing, soothing background/body doubling, and feel better playlists. If I save it in one playlist, I may not see it for a long time. But if I add it to all applicable lists, it will pop up when I need it.

Thank youuuuuu!!! I loved the way you explained it!!! I made one and it came out beautifully... Gotta make 25 more of them !!! Best tutorial ever. thank god for that granny square adhd shorts, I am so glad it led me to you

never crocheted in my life but I had some wool knocking about and a crochet hook I somehow acquired, so I decided to give it a go (quick tutorial for single and double crochets and I'm well on my way), very straight forward and easy to follow despite never holding a crochet hook before!! oh and thank you for making us double check the petals! I ended up with 9 the first time despite double checking the row before and counting out my stitches

Your tutorials are the best I’ve ever seen! Thank you for all the time you put into making it so clear! Following for more!

Thank you! I've seen this block and always thought it looked too fiddly. You've broken it down and provided plenty of visuals for those of us who are visual learners. Great job! (Now, let's see that sweater!!)

I am a lifelong knitter who has always LOVED granny squares - something you just can’t do right with knitting. I “can” crochet, but I get frustrated - but this tutorial addresses all my frustrations! I love it and I will make these gorgeous squares because you have done this so well! 🩷

As some crocheters said, I am very surprised with this tutorial. It is so professional. All the details and your explanation are on point. Congratulations Elyse!!! Pd. The only thing I noticed was that the ch 3 on the first row of the border (the one with 64 DC after finishing the petals) does count as a stitch. But that is a super tiny detail, it doesn’t change anything on the pattern.

Qualifying my comment with 40 years of professional-teaching of high school math behind me, my evaluation is that you have “mastered teaching-skills to the maximum”. Humans learn via input from their senses; for example visual and hearing. Your teaching-technique and presentation is excellent❗️

Listen you are the Bob Ross of crochet tutorials I was so relaxed watching this video I completely forgot anxiety existed!!😢❤😊

i LOVE your video, i have been crocheting for many years and this is so cool how you show the pattern worked and the diagram with the work, pure genius for sure,, comment for the end please weave those bad boys through the work, there is nothing worse than seeing someone just crocheting over the tails and cutting, that will just lead in heartache over a piece you put so many hours in, again thank you so much

As someone who started crocheting two weeks ago Toto keep my hands busy and help prevent using so much social media scrolling, I’m so here for this tutorial.

Very long tutorial, however, it's been one of the easiest I've ever followed! Truly appreciate the super detailed explanations and visuals! I made my daisy granny square into a pot holder trivet thingy. Looking forward to more tutorials!!!

I’ve been crocheting for a long time. I do not consider myself an expert more of an advanced beginner. I usually start watching a tutorial and turn off because the creator is ether rushing or skipping forward. I love and appreciate that you took time to explain at length. Thank you for a lovely informative tutorial. It’s very much appreciated.

You're the best! I've tried this retro flower many times with no luck but finally I've done it! This is a beautiful pattern very well explained. Thank you!!!

I have been crocheting for over 10 years and you rocked this tutorial! I started off with another teacher and was totally lost. I found your channel and was able to finish the project!! Keep doing what you are doing, girl!!!

Elyse, I just wanted to thank you for this video. I’m fairly new at crochet and although this project could have been rather complicated, your tutorial was very easy to follow and I enjoyed it very much much. You explain things well and the guitar music was so relaxing. Not sure what I’ll be making with them yet but I will be making more of these squares. Thanks again. ❤

I have tried other tutorials throughout the years and this is the first one I was able to understand. I can’t read a pattern to save my life.. but this truly did help my brain understand!! Thank you so much and I hope there will be more!!! ❤☺️👍🏻

Simply the BEST tutorial on how to crochet the Retro Flower Power granny square (and I've been crocheting since 1971, so I know a thing or two about the look!) My first square came out misshapen on the final background rounds, thank you for cleaning up this section. So nice I barely need to block it, I'm going to make a blanket for my new granddaughter with this pattern. Thanks again, Elyse.

I have never imagined tackling a granny square crochet blanket. I have just done boring double crochet because that is what my Oma taught me when I was little. I did not know how to read a pattern or that the stitch I was doing was a “double crochet”. You have rocked my world from the first time I ever found you. Thank you so very much for just being you and showing us all that it is okay to not look like we have it all together! And thank you for teaching me something new today. I am so excited to make a granny square blanket. Probably not a sweater but give it time. May God bless you for being the amazing person that you are!

My first reaction, I LOVE how big these granny squares are, so many I find as a beginner are tiny! Much more satisfying to have a big square!

I got into crochet the same way you did - years before I knew I was AuDHD. Best way to learn for this brain! ❤

As a beginner with adhd can I just say thank YOU. Especially for the magic circle hack. Please do more of these tutorials. I will pay good money to be taught by you !!

Keep making crochet videos!! I have ‘known’ how to crochet for 16 years and never completed anything until watching your tutorial!

I've been crocheting for 15 years, but I struggle with diagrams and reading patterns. It's just too much effort. I'm so glad I found your page!

im so serious when i say this tutorial was so amazingly detailed and made perfect sense to me. thank u!! more please!!

I have no idea what you're talking about. But I watched the whole thing. I could listen to you all day! And I LOVE your granny squares! And I want a sweater of them too!!! ❤ My family in Colorado and Arizona loves you so much!

Great tutorial crocheter here myself for over 15 yrs. Advice on your beginning tail hold it behind your left hand middle finger to work around the circle. (Same thing when your changing colors). As you stated, It helps with not having a lot to weaving at the end 😊 I’m bad about it also 😂

I have been crocheting for over 20 years, and I have to say this is a really great tutorial Elyse - really Great job! Isn’t crochet the best!?

So like how are you an incredible singer, songwriter, content creator, crocheter, AND crochet teacher?! I’ve been crocheting for years and I’m so impressed with this. First, for the complexity of the pattern (eg. Crocheting behind, with multiple colours) and second, your ability to teach with clarity. Leave some talent for the rest of us Elyse! Seriously though, I completely love this ❤❤

Elyse, you are such a huge inspiration to me. I gave crocheting a try because I saw the joy it brought you. I am so proud and happy to see this tutorial! Thank you so much for letting us share your personality and light

The best tutorial I’ve watched in the last 10 years! ❤Thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial, like everyone else watched it over and over and can now make these granny squares. I cant follow instructions but can follow by watching and then trying ..... and these look cool too

This tutorial was a joy to watch! Most are very chaotic and too fast to pay close attention for beginners and this was very calm and relaxing to watch!
