I've been crocheting since I was 7 years old. What started as a hobby in 2006 turned into Poochie Baby — first selling on eBay, then Etsy, and now in my own little Poochie Baby shop.
Whether you're picking up a hook for the very first time or you've been crocheting forever, there's a chair pulled up for you here.

my real-life favoritesBasic and foundational crochet stitches — the very stitches nearly every pattern is built from, one friendly video at a time.
start at the very beginning…Do you want to learn to crochet?
Many years ago I made a set of instructional videos for my YouTube channel. Even though these videos are older now, crochet techniques don't change — everything in them still works exactly the same today.
When you're first learning, I recommend a cheap, sturdy yarn. Specialty yarn takes some experience, because you first need to get the feel of tension and gauge. The yarn I'd reach for while learning is Red Heart Super Saver — easy to find at your local Walmart, Michaels, or on Amazon.
For hooks, I recommend Clover Hooks. Believe me — your hands and wrists will thank me for this.
now, follow along to learn how to crochet!
