Thank you for these. I had a friend show me the basics (slip knot, chain, and single crochet) some time ago. My problem now is when I get to the end and turn around. I can’t seem to keep a consistent edge. I couldn’t seem to find one of your vids that addressed this.
My hook is metal, and everytime i try to wind it around the hook and pull it through, it slides off! It just always unwinds. I’ve recently been looking into amigurumi, but this is my first time crocheting so i think i should get the basics down pat first
Xwinteraries: You could do single crochet for the next row you cant do the chain stitch for the second row you can only do the chain stitch for the first row that might help
Thank you. It will depend on what you are making. If you are making a joined circle, a tight chain will not matter. If you are making an afghan and make a tight chain, you will end up with a V shaped afghan. The chain will keep the stitches from expanding like they are supposed to so the bottom of the afghan will be smaller and the top will start to expand.
I like your way by making the slooow Motion .. I have struggled in the beginning, but I am doing well now
I have a question – if you dont mind- : what is better, the tight chains or the loose ones ? because I started by making VEERRY tight ones and they were very hard to make, but when I loosen them it gets easer .. so what is the right way ?
Hey, I subscribed to your channel quire a long time ago, but never got around to actually starting. I finally did now and its great, looking forward to my first project. Thanks a lot for the videos, keep up the good work!!!

I do empathize with being a beginner. YouTube has provided stop and reverse on the video player if you would like to see a section again.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment.
