I'm publishing a series of recipes with accompanying videos for beginners who want to get started with crocheting. My secret goal is to have you try each one in order, starting with the first one, and before you know it, you'll be able to crochet. Along with video tutorials on how to crochet, each episode will also include instructions on how to crochet...

In the sixth installment, we had participants knit a motif-linked piece that can be knitted in a short amount of time. Now that they've become accustomed to knitting with thinner yarn, let's knit a flower together in this seventh installment! Crochet flowers come in a variety of styles, from flat to three-dimensional, and there are many variations in the knitting techniques. The piece we'll be knitting this time is the one shown in the photo...

In the previous 5th lesson of the beginner's crochet course, we featured a rather voluminous project: a round-crochet market bag. With the previous projects using thick yarn, your hands and eyes may have become accustomed to counting stitches, and you may no longer feel resistant to doing so. So this time, we've chosen a smaller project using slightly thinner yarn. Crochet...

In the last beginner's crochet course, we tried knitting in the round. By now you've gotten used to casting on the round, starting the stitch, and finishing with a slip stitch. Once you understand this technique, you'll have mastered even the most complicated step in crocheting. Before you forget that feeling, this time I'll be knitting a market bag using knitted in the round...

What to knit with neon colors? Don't you find vivid neon colors exciting? Highlighter-colored yarns are playful and fun to look at. I'm sure there are many people who would like to buy some once they know what to knit and what their goal is. But it's hard to immediately think of how to incorporate fluorescent colors...

No metal fittings needed! A compact, flat crochet pen case. This crochet pen case is made by folding a long crochet motif. Don't you sometimes want to carry just one pen? This slim design is perfect for those occasions. Because it's flat with no gusset, it won't take up much space in your bag...

I bought my favorite sweet, "Kibana." It's a product of Tsuboya Sohonten, a confectionery shop in Asahikawa. It's easy to find at New Chitose Airport, but it has a somewhat understated image. That's why it feels like a special treat (though it's probably already famous), but on Tsuboya's product page...

A crocheted basket that showcases the charm of thick yarn. I made a crocheted storage basket that makes the most of the charm of thick yarn. The cute colors of the T-shirt yarn will add a touch of charm to your interior. Many crochet enthusiasts have probably used Hoooked Zpagetti before. I recently stopped by...

When winter comes, there's a sweet I want to go out and buy. There's a long-established confectionery shop called "Senshu-an" that's well-known to all Hokkaido residents. They have a classic product called "Northman," a pie crust filled with sweet bean paste. It's absolutely delicious. Furthermore, there's a seasonal flavor of that Norseman, a type filled with chocolate bean paste...

Are classifications like "medium-fine" and "medium-weight" used overseas? When knitting while looking at a knitting pattern or recipe, the first thing you check is the yarn information. In Japan, terms like "medium-fine," "medium-weight," and "extra-weight" are commonly used to refer to yarn thickness. Even for yarns without such specifications, you can determine "this is medium-weight" based on the needle size listed on the band...
