Crochet Basics - The Tools & Materials
In this video I will talk through the absolute basic essentials you need to get started in crochet. Learn how inexpensive and mobile crochet is, learn about different yarn weights and fibre blends and how to crochet on a budget.
Hello my name is Jade at I run Sew Jealous Yarn & Craft Shop in Plymouth Devon. As well as my shop I also create beginner tutorials, supporting other people into crochet and knitting crafts. I create beginner kits, run beginner friendly workshops and also support soft toy makers in their safety testing journey to sell.
If you need some more guidance on how to crochet here are some handy video links.

At Sew Jealous I use US crochet terms for my tutorial videos and patterns. If you attend a workshop you will have been given a conversion of the terms so you can choose your preference. We have added a small selection below of the most common terms to help:
US Slip Stitch = UK Single Crochet
US Single Crochet = UK Double Crochet
US Half Double Crochet = UK Half treble Crochet
US Double Crochet = UK Treble Crochet
