hihi!! recently (as in yesterday), I started crocheting, and I’m looking to get more into it ^^ I’m mostly interested in amigurumi stuff, and the only thing I’ve made so far is a blob with eyes (which should eventually become a pig), but I’m excited to see what else I can make as I get better at it ^^
generally, any advice for someone who’s new to this stuff? any tips would be much appreciated :3
good luck on your crochet journey!!! (i love amigurumi too!!!)
a tip i have is to always use stitch markers as a beginner and a smaller hook to get tighter stitches!! also in addition, use light colored yarn so you can see the stitches!
some projects to try are bees, octopus, jellyfish or mini plushies
hello hello welcome to ribblr!! i created this playlist specifically for beginner crocheters, with stitch tutorials, tips and tricks, and patterns i love ^^ i hope it’s helpful; lmk if you have any questions, and i wish you all the best in your crochet journey<3
hope you enjoy crocheting, it’s so fun!! I definitely recommend watching Youtube videos because there’s a lot out there with free, beginner-friendly tutorials!
as far as crochet related tips go, i’d suggest learning all basic stitches before you dive into written patterns; basic stitches would be sc, hdc, dc, inc, and dec (if you don’t know these abbreviations, look them up!)
i’d also suggest staying away from fluffy or black yarn as of now-acrylic yarn is cheap + very easy to see your stitches!
Welcome to Ribblr!! Learn the Magic Circle first before jumping into amigurumi! There are different ways to make it, so look at many videos before sticking to one. Also, there is a chain version if the magic ring becomes too difficult for now. Let us know if you have any questions!
Welcome to the Crochet Club! A few tips are using stitch markers, if you’re working with a plush yarn and you cant see your stitches easily, layer it with a worsted weight yarn and it should make seeing hr stitches easier and it wont show in your final make. One last tip is apply to simple tester calls once you feel a bit more confident in your crocheting because it will boost your experience
I hope you love crochet and feel free to dm me if you need anything
