Crochet feels awkward at first? Thatās completely normal š§¶
Your hands are learning:
⢠hook control
⢠yarn tension
⢠coordination
⢠and completely new movements all at once š
Thereās no one āperfectā way to hold your hook or yarn. Most crocheters adjust their hold over time until it feels natural and comfortable.
I wrote a new beginner blog post where I show:
⨠different hook grips
⨠different yarn holds
⨠tension tips
⨠and beginner guidance for more comfortable crocheting
Read it here:
www.happyheartsy.com/post/how-to-hold-crochet-hookā¦
And if you want everything connected in one place, I also created my Crochet Starter Kit for Beginners š§¶

Gauge⦠the thing most beginners skip.
Until their project doesnāt turn out the right size š
I just shared a simple way to check it, stitches + rows within 4".
Do you actually need it? Not always. But when you do, it matters.

Last week I talked about crochet hooks⦠this time itās yarn š
If youāre just starting crochet, this is something you should know:
Yarn weight doesnāt mean heaviness, it means thickness.
And even though there are sooo many beautiful yarns⦠not all of them are beginner-friendly.
If you want to make it easier for yourself, start with a solid colour so you can actually see your stitches.
I also wrote a blog post where I explain the basics in a simple way.
Comment START and Iāll send you the link ā plus my Crochet Starter Kit where everything is explained step by step š¤š§¶

Hook sizes are not just numbers⦠they literally change how your project looks and feels.
Same yarn ā different hook = completely different result.
This is where a lot of beginners get confused, because no one really explains how it all connects.
I broke it down simply in this blog post so it actually makes sense:
š www.happyheartsy.com/post/crochet-hook-sizes-explaā¦
And honestly, this is exactly why I created my Crochet Starter Kit ā so you donāt have to figure all these pieces out separately.
Everything is in one place, simply explained, so you can just start and not overthink it.

Starting crochet? š§¶
When I started, I just grabbed random yarn and a hook⦠and somehow it worked š
But once I realized how many options there are, it got confusing really fast.
So if youāre just starting, keep it simple:
š 5mm hook
š worsted weight yarn (size 4)
Thatās honestly the easiest way to learn and actually see your stitches.
If you want a clear place to start, I wrote a blog post with all the basics:
š www.happyheartsy.com/post/how-to-start-crocheting-ā¦
And if youād rather have everything step by step in one place (no more searching),

Confused where to start with crochet?
Youāre not the only oneā¦Most beginners get stuck before they even make their first stitch because nothing really connects.
Hooks, yarn, gauge, patterns⦠it all feels like separate pieces.
Thatās exactly why I created my Crochet Starter Kit so everything is in one place and actually makes sense.
You donāt need 50 tutorials.
You just need a clear starting point.

š¤ A little introductionā¦
My goal in 2026 is simple: to be seen.
You see my crochet patterns and tutorials here, but I realized I havenāt shared much about me.
I started crocheting in 2015, just for fun.
In 2021, I turned it into a business.
I design. I teach. I sell. I build.
What started with physical products turned into designing my own patterns ā and thatās where I found my creative freedom.
Now I create crochet patterns and step-by-step video tutorials to help you crochet with confidence.
And Iām redefining what success means to me.
Not just income.
But building a life that actually feels like mine.
Still growing. Still building.
And very proud of how far Iāve come.
If youāre here, thank you š¤
How long have you been crocheting?
