Beginners belong here.
New to crochet, knitting, loom knitting or anything yarny? Pull up a chair. Mrs T teaches, Mr T learns, mistakes are normal, and nobody is expected to know what they are doing on day one.
What is ABC?
Absolute Beginners Corner is the friendly Yarn ChickHen space for people who are just starting. No shame, no jargon, no pretending mistakes do not happen.
Start from scratch
Hooks, yarn, stitches, tension, mistakes — we keep it simple and explain things like you are actually new.
Small wins count
A wonky square, a first chain, or a duck with attitude still counts as progress in the Flock.
Real learning
Mr T is learning on camera, so you will see the confusion, the laughs, the fixes, and the moments when it finally clicks.
Watch the latest beginner makes.
Catch Absolute Beginners Corner moments inside our Yarn ChickHen videos — crochet attempts, beginner wins, yarny banter, and Mrs T trying to keep Mr T on track.
New videos appear on the Yarn ChickHen YouTube channel. Subscribe so you do not miss the next beginner win, yarn experiment, Scottish word, or bit of crafty chaos.
More beginner help is hatching.
As Mr T’s skills grow, so will Absolute Beginners Corner. Expect more first attempts, simple explanations, loom knitting, crochet basics, Addi Express adventures, and plenty of “what on earth have I done now?” moments.
