How do you learn the best with crochet or knitting?

[Barbara G.]

Each of us learn in a variety of ways. Personally, I do better watching a video about new crochet stitches and projects. I am more of a visual person.

How do you learn the best with crocheting or knitting?

Reading patterns? Watching videos? Picking up the hook and just doing it?

Reading and videos

First : Visual and Second: Reading a Clear Pattern (correct one )

reading the pattern, helps if a photo is seeable.

Reading the pattern, and seeing a detailed photo of the finished item. Sometimes I watch youtube, but videos seem to go too slow and I get impatient.

Also, when my little poodle hears strange voices coming from my computer on a video - she just goes nuts!

I have to watch it. THen I have to do it.

Well back when I learnt to crochet there wasn't any such thing as a video. So mostly reading the pattern and looking at the picture. But I have learnt a couple of stitches on utube.

I like to use the charts for the filet crochet and some of the things I know what comes next

I have to keep reading the pattern over and over and then sometimes I use youtube and it has to be no noise in the house lol thanks wenda

I read the pattern and check out when they have pictures of a certain stitch to make sure I have it right and then just do it. I also do not like those international diagrams, takes me longer to figure out what stitch is which. And prefer written patterns not be abbreviated. Once in a while, I may try a video but not usually.
