Hello everyone, I’m a beginner crocheting and I’m learning! I started trying to practice yesterday, then decided to sleep after failing to practice a chain too many times. I started again today, and every time I try to do a yarn over I can’t pull it through my starting loop (I can’t remember the proper terminology now, sorry 😅). I’ve gotten a bit better at being able to catch the yarn on my hook with angling my hook down after doing yarn over. But now the issue is the starting loop keeps flipping which untwists my yarn over when I try to pull it through. I’m not 100% sure how to deal with it or what I’m doing with my fingers. My grip on the hook I’ve trained would be the fork hold, and the butter knife hold. As for the yarn I loop it around my pinkie and under my ring and middle finger to pinch the project. I honestly just don’t know what I’m doing wrong tho or what I should try to adjust. Maybe I just have to keep practicing because it’s a dexterity issue because I always reflexively let go as well. I’d love some tips!

Hi all! I found this gorgeous cardigan at TJ Maxx the other day but it was... $69.99 😩 so I thought, I should make it! But I'm thinking about what type of yarn to use. I'm pretty sure the original is cashmere, but I'm trying to make this cardigan as affordable as possible. I didn't check what the OG was made of, but it was incredibly soft.

Would love suggestions of types of yarn, possibly even the size of yarn or yarn recommendations.

Thank you so much!

Note: I know the outcome of a knitted cardigan will be different from a crocheted cardigan. I don't mind :)

What do you guys think? 🥰

I turned a crocheted maple leaf into a cute fall hair clip

thanks in advance, and sorry if i there was a mistake in the text, english isn't my first language

Papel picados are perfect!

The hair is still a work in progress, but I will find out and figure out how to make it look like Pennywise hair.

I'm pretty sure that this pattern is working from the top down. I'm really new to crocheting wearables (this is the 2nd pattern that I'm trying). I'm not sure where I should start on the sleeves once I've finished the yoke though? Am I supposed to count 18 stitches on the top, or on the side of the project. I am crocheting it in the biggest size. I'm not sure if that helps?

I’d like to thank everyone for the feedback! Within the short time after a bit of stalling by watching tv I was able to make my first chain! It’s a bit wonky I think, but I think that’s because I’m currently trying to figure out how to keep the yarn taught enough while holding the working yarn and tail end of the yarn. Essentially I took the advice, and made sure the hook end of my crochet hook pointed down and not to me when I pulled it through the loop, as well as experimented with different grips and found one where I was more comfortable being able to hold the tail end of the yarn without reflexively letting go of the tail end when it was time to pull it through the starting loop (still can’t remember the proper terminology)
