stay calm(was getting really upset trying to learn from yt), be patient (couldn’t get the stitches right and was again struggling bc of yt), get a woobles kit (taught me how to do stitches correctly and how to do amigurumi), and get ribblr ASAP

Hi

To get started, buy yarn suitable for crochet and stitch markers, and above all, don’t take on too big a project right away.

something i still really struggle with is super tight tension! i’ve become a lot more conscious of it now and try to crochet normally, but i wish i could tell my past self that my tension would heavily affect how my finished objects would look, particularly my amigurumi!

Do not let other people pressure you into crocheting stuff for them. Stand ur ground, ask them to pay.

If you are looking to make smaller plushies,look for the plushies that have less rounds,that way you are not spending 5 days making a plushie :smirking_face:
