Crochet Tutorials and Resources by Look At What I Made

Welcome to Lookatwhatimade! Here you will find links to all my crochet tutorials and resources. All the crochet tutorials on this blog are written in US Terminology. You can find a US/UK Conversion Chart HERE.

My tutorials include many photos to make it as easy as possible for you to follow along, regardless of complexity or skill level. Some also contain charts and/or links to step-by-step video tutorials.

In these crochet tutorials, I share the tips and tricks I have picked up over the last two decades, as well as how to make some of the more… erm… interesting stitches (like the Really Lazy Popcorn and the Treble Cross Stitch). When I started crocheting, there were so many things I didn’t even KNOW I didn’t know. For instance, I had NO idea about stitch anatomy or how to identify my stitches (especially that first and last one when working in rows). Once that clicked, it changed my whole relationship with crochet – in the same way that finding the right crochet hook for me did.

So I encourage you to spend a moment on this page, clicking your merry way through the resources below.

Crochet Stitch Tutorials

These are not the only stitch tutorials I have created, but they are the only ones that have dedicated posts. I often include stitch tutorials in specific patterns. For instance, if you look at the Charlotte’s Universe CAL – Special Stitches and Techniques post, you will find many more step-by-step stitch tutorials, as well as photos for the magic ring, using stitch markers, and changing yarn/colours (to name but a few).
