#crochet for beginner

[doraminatook]

I would describe my crochet abilities as "intermediate"...

...but BOY OH BOY the joy and pride I felt at finishing this little friend. 🐍❤️😎🪽

Yes (flips hair) I painted the eyes myself.

A few tipps for crochet beginners

Start practicing with yarn in light colours. You won't see anything if you choose to start with black or a really dark brown for example

For the very first project I am suggesting coasters. You are able to practice basic stitches and get fast results. Just use natural fibers like cotton if you're drinking hot beverages like tea otherwise the coaster might stick to your cup. Avoid time consuming projects like blankets for your very first project as well.

Always count your stitches because it's not unusal that beginners lose stitches in the beginning and don't notice it at first.

Read the label of your yarn and use the recommended hooksize

If there are small holes in your project don't worry about it. It's normal that crochet has holes

For english patterns there are different words in british english and american english for the same stitch. Make sure that you're using the correct stitch when following a pattern.

AI pictures are being used for crochet patterns which means that your finished product will not look like in the picture. Make sure that the picture is actually real. Look at backgrounds and zoom in on the stitches. If there seems to be no system in which the stitches were made it's likely fake. The lack of texture is also a big red flag. When I doubt ask other people who crochet. My DMs are open as well if you're unsure whether AI was used (of course as AI is getting better it get's more difficult to recognize it so mistakes on my side might be made).

If you use more than one skein of the same yarn for the same project make sure it's the same lot number. The lot number tells you the dying batch of that exact yarn. Yarns from different batches might vary in colour even if it's technically the same shade and it's gonna be noticible

Only buy what you need at the time. I know with haul culture and social media you might get the idea that you need all the yarn you can get your hands on but that's not true! I am not perfect either but everyone should try to refrain from overconsumption and I myself at a point where I say it's too much so I am not buying anything new for a while...so yeah make sure that you don't even reach that point :D

guys i know this is a little random but sometimes crocheting makes me so angry. 😭😭😭

i started working on a project (Woodstock from The Peanuts) and i was having fun! i was crocheting, listening to crochet drama documentaries (made in the moment I LOVE YOU), being chill and relaxed, no casualties!!

…that was until somehow my stuffing got caught on the yarn and like- caused me to rip the yarn while trying to pull out my stitches?? so now i have an unfinished head and it looks funky.. and i’m sad cuz i was really motivated to finish it!

so yeah i just kinda wanted to let that outttt.. thank you for reading this little post- 🥲

(ps: i’m new to crochet and y’know i’m still learning so if you guys have any tips or whatever, they would be greatly appreciated!! thank you! <33)

One of the first things I've crocheted in ages. I love the way so many things can be brought into witchcraft, it really motivates me to keep at them.

Does any crochet master have any tips for a beginner who gets overwhelmed and cries easy? I can't even complete a simple chain and it's really taking a toll on my self esteem

If you have no idea what fiber art to start with - as in, you aren't sure what you'll like, and don't have much of a clue - you should honestly start with a mixture of whatever piques your interest. Knitting needles and crochet hooks, at the least, are often very cheap per set brand-new, or you can look at secondhand stores if you want them cheaper (other fiber arts tools like looms may be more pricey, depending on what you want). If you can, look for classes such as a crafts class - a library might have something akin to this, some will have craft spaces with a variety of little crafters things.

There's sometimes this idea floating around that you are only permitted to do one craft at once - this isn't true. You are a multifaceted, complex person. It only makes sense, then, that your art is the same. Fiber art is an expression of one's humanity in its rawest form, no matter what you pick up. This goes for all art beyond the fiber arts, too! Art is an expression of your humanity. Let it express that 💛

gonna try just posting the finished piece by itself since tumblr flagged my other post with a side by side as mature (i think maybe because the other piece says my tummy hurts on it and this one is a skeleton but it wasnt meant to be like e d content or anything, i am just a goth with ibs 😭😭😭)
