Everyone can learn how to crochet! It’s super easy, although I thought differently for the last 30 plus years.

Now, as I already told you the story about HOW I started to crochet in my popcorn stitch beanie and loop post, I will cut to the chase, and just remind you of the reason WHY I learned to crochet: It was the love, love, love I feel for my goddaughter ? What is your motivation to learn how to crochet?

FREE Beginners Crochet Video Course

After only 10 lessons you’ll know how to crochet all the basic crochet stitches. But not just the stitches, you’ll be able to crochet a basket with or without handles.

I created this Free Crochet Class for Beginners for my friend Gloria. She was kind enough to send me some photos of her first crocheting adventures. And even her husband tried his hand at crocheting.

How to Read Crocheting Patterns

Following along a video is much easier than following along written instructions. At least in the beginning! But eventually, you’ll want to be able to do just that: to read a crochet pattern. But oh my, those seem to be written in a funny foreign language, right?

Here is a promise I make to you:
If you follow along with my FREE Beginners Class, you’ll soon get the hang out of it. And then crocheting will be all fun & games. Pinky Promise!

Crochet Cheat Sheets can come in very handy!

Especially if you want to work a foreign crocheting pattern. Yes, USA, UK, or Germany use different words for the same stitches. I think this might be because different people might have invented crocheting parallel. But I could also be terribly wrong, lol.

I created a Set of 3 Crochet Cheat Sheets for you. You can download them here for free as a thank you for subscribing to my newsletter.

I figured I’ll save you the time of watching a gazillion YouTube videos to find the really good ones (meaning: videos that cut to the chase, because impatient me can’t wait 10 minutes till they finally start explaining how to do the actual stitch! Can you?).

So I started to curate a collection – sort of an ever-growing video dictionary for you to learn how to crochet.

I’ll make sure to update it regularly, so you’ll always find all the stitches necessary for my projects. Promise!
