🤍 New Crochet Pattern Is Out

I started reading again recently, and my Kindle needed a little crochet makeover.

This new Kindle Sleeve pattern includes two design options:
🌿 Leaves
🌸 Flower

The best surprise? Both versions were made using just two skeins of Comfy Worsted from WeCrochet.

Swipe through to see how the project came together.

Which one would you choose: 🌿 or 🌸?

👇 Let me know in the comments!

When I first started crocheting, crochet patterns honestly looked like another language to me 😅
All the abbreviations, stitch counts, symbols, rows… I had NO idea what I was looking at.

But once I understood the structure behind patterns, everything slowly started making much more sense 🧶

So I created this beginner-friendly breakdown to hopefully make crochet patterns feel less intimidating 🤍

Comment CROCHET PATTERN and I’ll send you:
✨ the full beginner blog post
✨ and my Crochet Starter Kit links

Crochet feels awkward at first? That’s completely normal 🧶

Your hands are learning:
• hook control
• yarn tension
• coordination
• and completely new movements all at once 😅

There’s no one “perfect” 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:

And if you want everything connected in one place, I also created my Crochet Starter Kit for Beginners 🧶

Gauge… the thing most beginners skip.

Until their project doesn’t turn out the right size 😄

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 it’s yarn 🙂

If you’re just starting crochet, this is something you should know:
Yarn weight doesn’t 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 I’ll send you the link — plus my Crochet Starter Kit where everything is explained step by step 🤍🧶

Hook sizes are not just numbers… they literally change how your project looks and feels.

Same yarn → 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:
👉 www.happyheartsy.com/post/crochet-hook-sizes-expla…

And honestly, this is exactly why I created my Crochet Starter Kit — so you don’t 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? 🧶

When I started, I just grabbed random yarn and a hook… and somehow it worked 😅

But once I realized how many options there are, it got confusing really fast.

So if you’re just starting, keep it simple:
👉 5mm hook
👉 worsted weight yarn (size 4)

That’s 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:
👉 www.happyheartsy.com/post/how-to-start-crocheting-…

And if you’d rather have everything step by step in one place (no more searching),

Confused where to start with crochet?

You’re not the only one…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.

That’s exactly why I created my Crochet Starter Kit so everything is in one place and actually makes sense.

You don’t need 50 tutorials.
You just need a clear starting point.
