I used to do that, when I was in the Navy and had a really stressful day, I would grab a small hook and spool of thread and it helped me to calm down. It's hard to crochet something that small when you are angry.

My eyes are too old for this tiny work but I can appreciate your work. Really pretty. Bravo.

I used embroidery floss to introduce me into micro crochet, and now I think I can do it smaller !! I’m so excited 💕✨

So many people make "magic rings" look so complicated. Just start with a loop like you would any other time you start a chain, but instead of pulling the first loop tight around your hook, just leave it more open. Just keep working your stitches in that loop for the first round, then pull the tail tight. That's all you really need to do.

This is just the easiest method I've found that allows me to get nice tight stitches, so I thought it worth sharing. I use your method with regular yarn but I've found working with thread is too fiddly to just work into a loop. Everyone is welcome to research their own methods though and find what suits them most 😊

Try a set of magnifying lenses. You wear them like a visor. Most come with a light and multiple lenses that are amazing to use.

Will you look at that! I used crochet hooks of that size to embroider handkerchiefs with crochet lace - a very long time ago-, I still have all of the hooks I used 40 years ago, because I'm kind of a hoarder with crafting tools. The smallest size I ever used was 0.6mm, that was perfect for lace. But I never thought to use them for granny squares! Very cute! This I have to try, I just bought a neck lamp for knitting, that will come in handy for this.

@@AG-hx6qn first thing I tried. Made me feel nauseous 🤢. Almost like motion sickness? But without the vehicle.

I'm not great at crochet but have been able to do it since school, us Boomers didn't get a choice, boys did wood and metalwork and technical drawing and girls had to do home economics (cooking etc.) and needle work, sewing, knitting and everything related to that like embroidery and crochet. So its something I do while watching KZread and as I am into miniatures I started getting smaller hooks and using embroidery floss to make things for dioramas etc. I will basically crochet anything, as I find it really relaxing but definitely prefer small things although my eyesight isn't quite up to doing 1/12th scale cushions, thats just beyond my ability. I am going to follow this as I always have thread of various types in the house and I think I have the small needles somewhere.

I don't recall learning to crochet, but I was taking it to school in 1st grade. I also use embroidery thread for tiny things, and sperate the strands. :-)

Great tutorial! All the information is so clear. I had a go, trying to use up some old tapestry wools that have been given to me. Definitely practice practice practice. But very satisfying result! Thank you for sharing 😊

I wish I had seen this video 35 years ago! I have been crocheting so long and I don’t think my eyes and hands can manage such small thread or hook….it is amazing watching you….

Your camera is very sharp and clear. Most people when they try to crochet in front of us it gets very fuzzy so congratulations on such a great clear picture. I have bad eyesight so I have started sticking my iPhone in front of my shirt with the flashlight on. It really helps especially on these days for the clouds are moving in and out in and out in and out.

With cotton, just add a little starch to hold its shape. It also helps keep it clean

Outstanding! Most of us would be hard pressed to speak while executing complex maneuvering. You’re cool as a cucumber and do a marvelous job of explaining important tips. Wonder of wonders. Thank you…

This is up there with the very best tutorials i have seen, ive seen many but it’s definitely the very best crochet ive had the joy to have watched.❤️

I had to chuckle at your warnings about thin hooks. I was a quilter for many years and a thimble on one or many fingers was essential for protection. Lovely video, and good basic how to get started.

I’m an experienced granny square maker. I’m following your video and have completed the first round. I’m using craft thread because I ordered it by mistake but it has many colors! I’m pretty sure my first round is the same size as your whole earring. I’m thinking that since I first started crocheting I’ve been trying to crochet loosely. Now I’m learning to tighten up! Your magic ring method is magical! Thanks

I’m very much looking forward to trying this! You’ve made it look doable. Thank you for such a thorough tutorial!

That's truly amazing to me!! Nice work!!

YOU. ARE. AMAZING! This is amazing! Theres no way I could do this, let alone be as fast and good at it as you. Wow!

when my Grandmother died i got her tiny crochet hook and we got to see the edging she did for pillow cases made out of sewing thread. It's really fun to crochet with thread and to do patterns like doilies soooo tiny with thread, Glad youtud recommended you to me Today!!!!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial and for the inspiration to give it a try. With the right glasses and your recommended thread I managed to make an itsy bitsy granny square too. Sent a pic over on ig. I'm surprised and delighted cause I've got quite big hands and wondered if I'd end up giving up, but I didn't. You've added a whole new element to my crochet world. Time to make a cup of coffee and have another go methinks. ☕😊👍

I look forward to trying this. I've crocheted for decades, but especially with older eyes have hesitated trying this. I have a set of magnifying lenses and lots of variously sized yarns and threads, so I'll be working my way down to tinier and tinier hooks and thread. Thanks so much for your tutorial! I've subbed and can't wait to see what else you teach us.

I got my hands on some old darning thread. It had 3 strands together, which I separated. This thread was amazing for micro crochet. It is durable, tolerated rework well and took well to the tight stitches: I've found that polyester does not curve around the tiny hook the way I like.

Omg u have helpd me out so much i want to learn to do and i was not able to get is going and i did get a 3 Thread crochet temperature art going i can't wait in tell next. Wish i can post a pic of what i doing

I love this . I think your work and program is wonderful. I am fiber artist and so also spin and thought what a great venue for silk . But if you don't spin you could likely use silk thread . I think it would be a mush better alternative for your time skill and effort if you are selling these charming things to get a better return . The type of fiber used commands great differences in outcomes and return. Many of the places that sell luxury yarns sometimes sell cobweb silk that would work. Colormart in UK also has cobweb weight in cashmere and silk for a little more luxury . Knit picks has a lace weight 2 ply silk yarn that you might separate into sicles (crochet will correct the slight imbalance of a spun single yarn ) but probably the best place to acquire pure silk for this purpose, is from Treenway Silk, that specialize in different silk threads, fiber or yarns and ribbons. I see they have a 4 pack of silk thread for fine cross stitch that would be perfect and looks about the same weight as your polyester but would lend itself to this art form much better than synthetic. So do give it a try . Make sure you don't get silk noil though as it doesn't have sheen. You want either glorious reeled silk or beautiful spun silk. Both have sheen but reeled has the most sheen.

That is really really cute, I’ve often wondered about crocheting with fine thread like that. I would definitely try to weave in that last thread with a needle though, you’d be surprised what you can manage to thread into fine needles, I’m sure that thread would go into a fine needle

You’d have to have eagle eyes to see to do this type of crochet. Cute!

I have some coloured threads that would be ideal for this project. Thanks for sharing. ❤🙂
