Crochet tips, tutorials and crochet life!
I'm Tuula Kyrölä from Finland. I have been crocheting and knitting since I was a little girl. I especially love to create videos with little technical tips or design small items and then make a video of them. Strong vivid colors are all important to me.

I hate this
Can you goo slower😡
Thanks 🙏
Thank you Tuula, I love this video! I did the stripes bag using green yarn and burgundy yarn. I was so glad to hear and see how you ended and started each round. Thank you very much for detailed explanation on all your videos. My earbud bag is so cute 😊 💕💃🏻
Like others here I am intrigued by your process and definitely will be trying it in the near future :)
Lovely, definitely give it a go!
That is the best Freeform inspiration video that I have seen.. Thank you!
Thank you, happy to hear!
❤ great tutorial, with written details as you go. Plain English is appreciated.
The Waistcoat Stitch might be useful for what we used to call a tunnel, a scarf made in the round, all one diameter. It can be worn slipped over the head to cover the head and neck or to cover just the neck. It's fairly long.
Yes, that would be great with the waistcoat stitch! 💜
I would like to thank you for the video tutorial. I learned to do granny squares. The camera range is excellent, your explanation of the stitches is superb and you are slowly teaching what you are doing. This is by far the best video out there to learn granny squares. Thanks again. 😊
Very useful video. Your top is gorgeous 😊
Thank you so much!
Dear Tuula, Thank you so much for this tutorial it is always appreciated and I love learning new tips and techniques to help me improve my crochet 🧶 I also love the scenery I have nearly mastered your hold technique, I occasionally lapse into having my index finger pointed for tension, your technique gives me so much more control and I’m able to hold my piece with both hands especially if it has a lacy/drape it makes it much easier to work on… Thank you! Excellent Tips and Tricks! God’s Blessings to you and all 🙏🏽💜🩷🧶🥰
Thank you, so glad that my tips have been useful and that you are finding a way to crochet that works best for you! Happy crocheting!
How you do a 8 double crochet decrease
I don't use slip knots ever. When an aunt taught me to crochet when I was little she told me you never put knots in your work. Same for when she taught me embroidery - no knots!
That's what I always have been taught and also practise - no knots in yarn! I haven’t seen the slip knot as a knot however, even with that word in it. But this way there isn’t any type of knot 😊
Legendary tip! I love your videos Tuula! 😊
I've done this for years and it looks so much better than a bulky knot!
Great!
I accidentally put a stitch through the slipknot once & I thought it looked nice and neat on the first row & then tried with a different piece & didn't look as nice. Probably was using a chunky yarn first time around 🤣
Great, important sure many people notice this accidentally! 😊
That’s a great idea!!!!!
Yes,handy! 😊
Interesting 🤔
That's a very useful tip. Thank you.🧶
Glad it was helpful!
Finland is lovely! ❤❤❤
Glad you like Finland! 🇫🇮😊
Enjoyed that, good fun I save most your videos on my phone then transfer to laptop so always available.
Thank you! Yes, that's one way not to loose a video that has been useful!
Hey a quick question are you from Finland?
Yes 😊🇫🇮
Joo arvasin sun aksentista ja nimestä 😊🇫🇮
@@sirkkalempea4005 Ok Monissa viime kuukausien videoissa olenkin maininnut, esim viimeisin pitkä video on kuvattu Ruissalossa!
You always have great ideas! I tried standing & crocheting by accident and gave up on the whole idea bc my tension changed immediately. Precisely the reason i do not work in mohair. I make so many mistakes and frog so often i wld destroy the mohair. Saving most of yr videos to go back and watch.
Thank you! Probably crocheting while standing up would depend on the way you crochet, some methods it would affect, others not. I also use mohair and other difficult fibers rarely for that same reason! I'm glad my videos are useful 💗
@@TuulaMaaria yes indeed. After i posted re my tension i started thinking about it (disabled, changing my position often is paramount) and i recalled that when i worked as an illustrator i wld stand and draw/ paint but a lot had to do with my breathing. I must revisit this as a crocheting option!
HUH??????????
Wow! How good is this? Thank you so very much. I’m making two temperature blankets with four time slots for each day of the year - yes I know madness. I can’t find the link to your clip using the above fabulous tips but including changing colour too. On one row I have a similar ft white border; 6.00am temperature for that day then a white separator before the midday time is crocheted in a different colour, then another white separator, a colour for the 6.00pm slot, yet another white separator followed by the temperature at midnight and the final white border, if that makes sense. In summary I have 9 colour changes in every row. The end of every month will just have row block in the white, which is actually a soft white. Any help would be welcome. Thank you again 🫶🏼
Thank you! 4 colour slots a day, wow!! This video shows changing the colour too although if the place needs to be exact, it takes a bit of practice kzread.info/dash/bejne/hJiO1KytnpqulMo.htmlsi=cv63sIIoEE3v7n79 Happy crocheting!
This was so easy to follow along with, and my top came out perfect! Thank you 😊❤
Tuula, you are always so generous in assisting us to be better crocheters!!!
Pequeños detalles que hacen un trabajo más pulido, gracias
Amazing!
I have a yarn chicken tip that has saved me a few times on the last row or round, if I see I'm going to run out of yarn just shy of a few stitches to completion: I will redo the row or round, but YARN UNDER instead of yarn over. It uses slightly less yarn and does not change the look of the stitch so much that it would be noticeable.
Thank you, that sounds like a good way to do it, I will try that!
@@TuulaMaaria Absolutely! ❤
Thank you for some new hints I hadn't seen. Winding the skein, using the,wooded spoon is perfect. Much of my yarn is in skeins, these days. ❤❤❤
Sounds great! Happy crocheting! 💗
I LOVE FREE FORM CROCHET!! Thank you for giving me the courage to have a try. Your explanation, as you moved from colour to colour, and to shape and to fill ins is clear, and informative. Maybe I was always looking for a pattern, while it should be a collection of shapes that fit together, pleasingly. A scarf is a great way to start. It's winter in Australia, so here goes!! 😮 😊 😊 😊
Lovely! Freeform would actually be harder to do with a pattern and then the main point would be lost - creating as you go! Enjoy making your scarf!
I agree about amigurumi! I've had friends ask me to make toys or dolls - NO! I'll always say no! I'd rather make a blanket!
I love your tips! Just going through channels and saw yours and I would love to know for left handed crotchet person I am 50 and have been crocheting since I am 10. I am great at blankets my speciality but I am always struggling with certain patterns because I free crochet and just try different things. I learned from my mom rest her soul, she was a righty though lol so I just struggle with clothing and if you have tips for left handed people that would be helpful. The more you practice the better you get. I would love any tips via left handed
Thank you! Unfortunately I don't know anything about left-handed crochet. I have tried at times, and I know some youtubers reverse all videos so they post them twice but I don't know if that works. I hope you find some channels that are useful to you.
Always enjoy your videos,, ❤️🌼
Lovely, thank you!
I was making a blanket from even squares, and before the last one, both yarns I was using went out of stock, EVERYWHERE T_T Then, as you mentioned tension, the lightbulb came to my brain...I can actually redo the blanket (pretty small too) so it can be a table cover- my cat sleeps on it anyway, so won't be such a big change at all for my original plan, still be useful, and I won't be frustrated by looking at all the time. Thank you! 🥰💜
Great, always good to find creative solutions!
You gave us a great laugh 😂 But at the same time this is worrying, because so many AI patterns are invading internet (including on Etsy), and I am sorry when I think of a beginner crocheter spending their money on a partern like this 😢
I saved this video! Wow so many beautiful new stitches 😊 I learned alot but don't have time to practice all the new to me stitches. I can't wait to get started on some swatches or a new project. Thank you so much for your helpful and inspiring videos
What can I say that hasn't already been said 🥰 Yet another fantastic and helpful video. Thank you Tuula 😊 ⚘️
Happy to hear, thank you!
Thank you for these most helpful tips!❤
Glad you like them!
These tips are so helpful!! Thank you!♥️
Lovely, thank you!
Gracias!!!!!!😘🇲🇽👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love your videos. The places you show us are so beautiful. Yes, these tips are very helpful. I wish I could hold my yarn that way. It looks for effortless. When I started, I tried different ways and landed on the double wrap around my index finger.
Thank you! I must say I am worried about the double wrap, it looks so much unnecessary work!!
@@TuulaMaaria I totally agree. Sadly, it’s the only method that’s worked for me and controlling the tension. 🤷🏻♀️ I’m going to keep trying your way.
I prefer tapered hooks as well, and I will definitely heed your technique for keeping track of beginning and ending "straight stitches" with a double stitch from now on 🤓. I've crocheted since junior high school, yet still struggle with that. Though I don't make those often. I too will use your way of crocheting circles using your crochet T-shirt yarn idea 😊.
Wonderful! Happy crocheting!
I like the concept of freeform crocheting... it's alot of thinking and planning out though. I love mindless crocheting 🤓.
Very different types of crochet, I love both - freeform challenges you but I also love doing super easy things like shawls with just one type of stitch or knitting plain socks.
Great tips, wonderful location!
Glad you enjoyed it!
