Crochet University
A second look at what you make

For complete beginners · Hindi and English

Stop watching other people crochet. Learn to make it yourself.

That bag you saved. Those amigurumi you keep seeing. The flowers you wished you could make.

Crochet isn't a talent you're born with. It's a skill you can learn, one stitch and one project at a time — starting from absolute zero, on a clear 30-day path built for beginners.

01

Maybe some of this sounds familiar

  • Crochet has been sitting at the back of your mind for a while
  • You save crochet Reels and never do anything with them
  • You see somebody make something beautiful and think, I wish I could do that
  • You bought yarn once. It's still in the cupboard.
  • Somebody at home knew crochet, and you never got round to asking
  • You followed a tutorial and gave up halfway
  • Or you've simply been looking for something better to do with the little free time you have

Wherever you're starting from, you don't need talent. You need the right first step.

Crochet isn't a talent you're born with

“You're so talented.” We hear that whenever somebody sees finished crochet.

But nobody starts there. Before anyone makes a finished amigurumi they learn a chain. Then one stitch. Then a small piece that takes an evening. Then something they would actually give away.

Crochet looks difficult when you only ever see the finished result. Inside the course we break that result back down into skills you learn one at a time.

You are not expected to walk in knowing how to crochet. That is the whole point.

What if a little of your scrolling time became something you can hold?

You don't need an entire Sunday. You don't need three uninterrupted hours.

Start with a little time when you have it. One lesson. One stitch. A few more rows.

And instead of wondering where your free time went, you slowly have something in your hands that didn't exist before you made it.

You're allowed to learn something simply because making things feels good.

02

Start with yarn. End with something you made.

Every project teaches something you use again. You're not memorising random stitches — you're building the skills that let you look at crochet and understand how it was actually made.

The beginner path

From “I don't even know how to hold the hook” to “I made this”

Five steps, in this order. Nothing skipped, nothing assumed, and something finished at the end of the first one.

  1. 1

    Start from zero

    How to hold the hook. How to hold and control the yarn. What each tool is for, and how crochet actually works.

  2. 2

    Build your basics

    The foundational stitches and techniques, learned properly, without jumping ahead to something you're not ready for.

  3. 3

    Start making

    Practice turns into actual beginner projects — a coaster, a pouch, things that exist when you put them down.

  4. 4

    Enter amigurumi

    The techniques behind crochet characters and shapes: the magic circle, invisible increases, stuffing, faces.

  5. 5

    Finish projects yourself

    Follow a pattern and take a piece from the first chain to the last woven end without anybody holding your hand.

Every free tutorial teaches stitches in the order a book teaches them, which means three weeks of squares before you make anything. Almost nobody survives three weeks of squares. That is not a talent problem, it is a sequencing problem — and the goal here isn't to make you watch a lot of lessons, it's to help you actually make things. That distinction is the whole course.

03

Everything you need to go from curious to creating

  • The beginner crochet course

    A structured starting path for somebody learning from scratch — 30 days, filmed at the speed a beginner's hands actually move.

  • The complete amigurumi course

    One of crochet's most exciting forms: the bunny, the cow, and the shaping that makes them look bought rather than made.

  • Hindi and English lessons

    Learn in whichever is easier to follow. Every lesson exists in both — not subtitles over an English voice.

  • Printable patterns

    Keep the instructions beside you instead of holding a phone with yarn on your hands.

  • Beginner support

    When you're confused you don't have to work it out alone. Send a photo of where it went wrong and a person replies.

  • Lifetime access

    Learn at your own pace and come back whenever you need — including everything added to these two courses later.

I spent about four months trying to learn off YouTube and never got past a lumpy first row — every video assumed I already knew how to hold the hook. Here the magic ring alone is three angles and a slow repeat. My first bunny was done in four days and my daughter has claimed it.
MMeghna Kulkarni · Pune
I bought this for my mother, who is 58 and had never held a hook. She follows the Hindi audio and I watch in English when she gets stuck, so we are both looking at the same screen. She has finished six pieces and has now taken over my yarn budget.
AAnjali Nair · Kochi
I have a graveyard of online courses I paid for and opened twice. This is the first one I have finished, and I think it is because every week ends with an actual finished object. You can't fool yourself about progress when there is a small crocheted thing sitting on the table.
PPriyanka Sethi · Gurugram
Left-handed, and I had already given up on one course for this reason. The stitches here are demonstrated so you can mirror them, and when I still couldn't get the treble right someone in the group posted a flipped clip for me the same evening. That was the moment I decided to keep going.

Two kids and a full-time job, so I do about twenty-five minutes after they're down. It took me nearer nine weeks than six and I stopped feeling bad about that around week three. The point is I'm still doing it in month four, which has never happened with anything else I've picked up.
FFarheen Qureshi · Hyderabad
I nearly asked for the refund in week two. My tension was awful and everything came out curling. I wrote in expecting a form letter and got a voice note back the next morning telling me exactly what my hands were doing wrong. Two days later it clicked. I'm glad nobody talked me into staying — they just fixed the actual problem.
DDeepa Iyer · Coimbatore
Four stars only because some lessons are longer than they need to be and I found myself skipping ahead, and I'd have liked one more colour in the kit. The teaching itself is the best I've found in any language — I've made eleven things now and given most of them away.
SSneha Patil · Nashik
I made eleven gifts before Diwali — keychains for my team, two bags, a set of coasters for my mother-in-law. The yarn cost me under six hundred rupees. I stopped doing the maths on whether this was worth it somewhere around the fourth keychain.
KKarishma Dutta · Guwahati
The safety eyes had me nervous — my sister's cat is a menace — and there is a whole two minutes on attaching them properly which I did not expect. Small thing, but it is the sort of detail that tells you someone has actually taught this to real people.
RRukhsar Ali · Srinagar
My hands ache from typing all day and I was worried crochet would make it worse. The section on grip and hook position genuinely helped — I hold it differently now and can go forty minutes without stopping. Nobody on YouTube mentioned any of that.
JJyoti Verma · Kanpur
I am the person who buys the yarn, watches the video once, and never opens the bag again. Something about being told exactly what to do on day one, and having the thing arrive with the right hook already in it, got me past that. Four pieces in.
AAditi Ranganathan · Bengaluru
Hindi mein poori class hai, that is what sold it for me. I understand English fine but my hands follow instructions better in Hindi, and I did not know that about myself until I tried this.
SShabnam Bano · Patna
I am 63. I mention that because every course I looked at seemed to be made for twenty-year-olds with good eyesight. This one is filmed close, lit properly, and repeats slowly. I have finished a scarf and started a second.

LLata Krishnamurthy · Mysuru
The amigurumi half is much stronger than the beginner half, in my opinion — the beginner section moves a bit fast in the middle. But the amigurumi lessons are worth the whole price and I have made five now.
TTanushree Bose · Kolkata
My eight-year-old watches over my shoulder and now does the chain stitches for me. Not what I bought it for, but it has become the thing we do on Sunday mornings.
AAyesha Merchant · Mumbai
I had tried twice before with library books. The difference is being able to see the hook go in from the angle my own eyes are at. That one camera position is doing more work than any explanation.
RRachana Deshmukh · Nagpur
Started selling small pieces at a stall two months in. Nothing dramatic, about four thousand rupees so far, but I made it with my hands and someone chose to pay for it, and I did not think that would ever be true of me.
SSunita Rawat · Dehradun

One of the reviews above mentions selling. Most people who take this do it for themselves and never sell anything, and nothing here is a promise of income — what you earn depends on what you make, where you sell it and how much time you put in.

Your first project probably won't be perfect

And that's fine.

Your first stitches may be uneven. You might undo a row. You might replay a lesson. You may need to try something twice.

Then something changes. At some point you look down and realise: wait — I actually made this.

The next project is a little easier. The one after that makes a little more sense. That is how a skill gets built, and it is the only way anybody has ever built one.

Nazar

Learn with somebody who remembers what beginners get stuck on

Nazar

Founder, The Crochet Boy · Srinagar, Kashmir

Nazar taught himself to crochet from patchy internet in Kashmir, getting stuck on the same rounds everybody gets stuck on, with nobody to ask.

Crochet gets confusing when somebody demonstrates quickly and assumes you already know the basics. His teaching is built around slowing those moments down and showing what your hands actually need to do.

He built this course as the one he wishes had existed — Hindi and English together, slow where it needs to be slow, and honest about the parts that are genuinely fiddly.

His work has been covered by the BBC and The Times of India.

Crochet doesn't have an age limit

Maybe you watched your mother or your grandmother crochet. Maybe you tried it years ago. Maybe you're discovering it for the first time at 22. Maybe you're finally making time for yourself at 45.

The starting stitch is the same.

You don't need to be young. You don't need to be “crafty”. You only need to be willing to begin.

Some of us saw crochet long before it started trending

Maybe it was your nani making something quietly in the afternoon. Your dadi's crochet table cover. Your mother's handmade pieces. Or something tucked away at home that somebody made years ago.

Today crochet looks different — bags, flowers, amigurumi, accessories, things people put on a shelf on purpose. But the skill underneath is the same one.

Maybe this is your turn to learn it.

Learn it for yourself. Use it for the people you love.

Today the course might begin because you want a hobby.

Later it becomes something you make for your mother. Something handmade for your best friend. A small piece for a new baby. Or the gift that makes somebody say: wait — you made this for me?

Some gifts cost money. Handmade gifts also carry your time.

Is this for you?

This course is for you if…

  • You're a complete beginner
  • You've tried learning before and got confused
  • You know a little but haven't progressed
  • You've saved crochet tutorials and never properly started
  • You want a structured hobby rather than another thing to scroll
  • You love crochet projects and want to make them yourself
  • You'd rather have it explained in Hindi

It may not be for you if…

  • You already crochet confidently at an advanced level
  • You're looking primarily for a crochet-business course
  • You only want one specific advanced bag pattern
  • You want a get-rich-with-crochet programme

“But I don't have hours every day”

You don't need them.

The course is filmed and self-paced. Some days you watch a lesson. Some days you practise for twenty or thirty minutes. Some days you do nothing at all. Then you carry on.

Lifetime access means the course doesn't disappear because life got busy.

“Which yarn? Which hook? What do I actually need?”

Exactly the questions a beginner should be asking, and the ones nobody answers.

You don't have to arrive already understanding yarn weights and hook sizes. Lesson one is what's in your kit and what each tool does, and the buying guide names what to pick up in an Indian craft shop — by name — and what to walk past.

To start you need yarn and a 4 mm hook, which is about ₹300. If you'd rather it arrived in a box, there's a kit.

  • What happens to access — it ends when the refund is issued.

The questions people actually ask

I know absolutely nothing about crochet. Can I join?+

Yes. The course begins from scratch — the first lesson is how to hold the hook.

I've tried crochet before and stopped. Is this still for me?+

Yes. A structured restart is usually exactly what's missing. Most people who stop didn't lack talent, they lacked an order to learn in.

Is the course in Hindi or English?+

Both. The same lesson is filmed in each and you switch with one tap.

What materials do I need?+

Yarn and a 4 mm hook to begin — about ₹300 in most craft shops. There's a buying guide inside that names what to get, and a kit if you'd rather it arrived in a box.

Do I need expensive yarn or tools?+

No. Ordinary acrylic yarn and a single aluminium hook are what the first weeks are filmed with, on purpose.

Is it live or recorded?+

Recorded. Nothing is scheduled, nothing is missed, and you can replay the fiddly parts as many times as you need.

How long do I get access?+

For life, including anything added to these two courses later.

How much should I practise?+

Twenty minutes on the evenings you have them is enough to keep moving. There's no schedule to fall behind.

Will I learn amigurumi?+

Yes — the complete amigurumi course is included, not sold separately.

What if I get stuck?+

Send a photo of where it went wrong and a person replies. The lessons also film the round going wrong and how to unpick it, because that's the moment people give up.

Can I watch on my phone?+

Yes, and the patterns print, which most people prefer once there's yarn on their hands.

Is this a business course?+

No. This one is about learning crochet and amigurumi. Selling your work is a different course.

What's the guarantee?+

60 days. Email us and we refund to the account you paid from, no form and no questions.

Questions from customers

Asked by people on this page. Answered by us, not by a bot.

  • I have tried crochet twice before and quit both times. What is actually different here?

    Priya

    Sequence, mostly. Both times you probably learned stitches without making anything, which is where people lose interest. Here you finish a whole small piece in the first week. I cannot promise it will work for you — but if it does not, the sixty days covers you and you can just tell us.

    Nazar

  • Do I get the videos forever or does access expire?

    Sangeeta

    Forever, including anything we add later. There is nothing to renew and no subscription attached to this purchase.

    Nazar

  • My daughter is nine. Is this suitable for her?

    Farida

    Honestly, it is built for adults. A nine-year-old can do it sitting with you, and several do, but she will need help with the safety eyes and the tension. If she is doing it alone I would wait a couple of years.

    Nazar

Read 3 more questions
  • Can I finish this if I only get twenty minutes a day?

    Meenakshi

    Yes, but it will take you about nine weeks rather than six. The lessons are cut into five to twelve minute pieces for exactly this reason. What does not work is saving it all for Sunday — people who do a little most days finish, people who batch it usually stop.

    Nazar

  • I am completely left-handed. Be honest — will I struggle?

    Divya

    You will be slower for the first week and then it stops mattering. Every stitch is filmed so it can be mirrored, and there is a left-handed group inside the community who post flipped clips. What I will not pretend is that it is identical — you will occasionally have to reverse something in your head.

    Nazar

  • Is the hook in the kit okay for someone with arthritis in the hands? My mother struggles with thin handles.

    Rukhsana

    Yes — the two hooks in the kit are the wide soft-grip kind, not the thin metal ones. If she still finds them hard after a week, tell us and we will post a thicker-handled pair at no charge. A lot of our students are learning in their fifties and sixties and this comes up often.
