I'll be using 8 ply yarn and 3.5 millimeter hook but you can use any size yarn with the corresponding hook size. I'll also be using darning needle, stitch marker, and scissors. So without further ado, let's get started with the tutorial. First, grab our yarn and then we're going to start by making a magic circle or a magic ring. First, we're going to grab the yarn with our right hand and then with our left hand, I'm pointing up two fingers, my index finger and my middle finger. Then, I'm going to wrap the yarn around my two fingers twice so I place the yarn on top of my two fingers and then go under and then on top again and then we're gonna look at it from the back. We're gonna bring the end of the yarn to the palm of our hand and then hold it with our thumb and then for the working yarn, I'm gonna hold it with my ring finger and pinky. Then, you can see that there will be a cross at the bottom and then a parallel line on the top. So what we're gonna do is that we're going to insert our hook under the first loop here. So go under it and then grab the second loop with our hook and then pull it through the first loop and after pulling it through, we're gonna twist it clockwise. So just twist our hook like this. Then, see this working yarn here which is held by my ring finger and pinky? I'm going to yarn over. To yarn over, I'm going under the working yarn and then going on top and once you've grabbed it, you're gonna pull it through the loop on your hook just like this and now this is our magic ring. To adjust the size of the magic ring, we're gonna pull the tail here and we want it to be a little bit smaller and that should be fine and then now we're gonna start our round one and I would say that round one to round four is very easy since it's very repetitive and it's the same stitch all over whereas the ears might be a little bit challenging for beginners but I think it's a good practice because for the ears, there is different basic stitches that are very crucial if you want to get into crocheting so I think this is a good start. So yeah, so the way I'm holding the yarn, I am just placing the working yarn on top of my three fingers and then grab it and then I'm going to go behind and around my index finger and then hold my piece with my middle finger and thumb and mind you that the index finger should always be pointed up and the way I'm holding my hook is like how I'm holding a pen so like how I'm writing and sometimes I would um my middle finger would go onto this side of the hook and then just kind of adjust the loops on it so it's easier. So yeah, that's how I hold my yarns and hook. So now let's start round one. So for round one, we're going to chain two and as you can see there is a V connected to the magic ring already and that counts as one chain so we just need to chain one more to have a total of two chains. So to chain, we're going to yarn over. To yarn over, we're going to bring our hook to the back of the yarn and then on top and over like this and then now we have grabbed our working yarn. Now we're going to pull it through the loop on our hook. We just pull like this and as you can see there is the second V here and there's a total of two chains. Now we're going to make our first double crochet. To make a double crochet, we're going to start by yarning over first. So bring our hook to the back of the working yarn and then over and on top, grab it like this. So basically you've wrapped your working yarn around your hook. Then we're going to insert our hook into the magic ring. So I'm just going to place it into the magic ring and as you can see for the tail here, it is also caught on my hook. And this step is very important because we need to close up the magic ring later. So make sure that the tail is on your hook as well. After that, we're going to yarn over. To yarn over, bring our hook to the back of the yarn and then on top. Now we've grabbed it. Now we pull it through the magic ring and that will bring up a loop. Now we have three loops on our hook and first we're going to yarn over and then pull through just the first two loops. Now we yarn over, bring the hook on top of the working yarn and then now we're going to pull through just the first two loops. So I've pulled through the first loop and then the second loop. Now we're left with two loops on our hook. We yarn over, so bring the hook behind and then over and on top. Then pull it through the rest of the two loops just like this. And this is our very first double crochet. Now we're going to get our stitch marker. Since this is the first stitch, we're going to mark it to indicate that it's the first stitch so we don't forget. So as you can see here, if you look at your piece, on the top there will be a V and the V that's right above the double crochet is where we're going to be inserting our stitch marker into. So like here. And if you look it up from the side, there is three Vs. So the bottom two is the chain two and then the top one is the stitch. Now we're gonna repeat this for a total of 12 times. So we have 12 double crochet in this magic ring. So to do a double crochet, it's the same thing. Yarn over first, bring our hook to the back of the working yarn and then on top and wrap the yarn around your hook once. Then insert your hook into the magic ring including the tail and then yarn over and then pull it through the magic ring. Now we got three loops on our hook. We're going to yarn over again, then pull it through just the first two loops. So the first loop and then the second loop. Now we have two loops left on our hook. We're going to yarn over and then just pull it through the rest of the two loops. Just like this. Let me demonstrate it one more time. Yarn over, basically wrap the yarn around your hook once and then insert our hook into the magic ring. Remember the tail is also caught on our hook and then yarn over again and then pull through the magic ring to bring up a loop. Now we have three loops on our hook. We yarn over and then pull it through just the first two loops. Now we're left with two loops on our hook. Yarn over and then pull it through the rest of the two loops. Just like this. So to do it again, yarn over and then place our hook into the magic ring and then yarn over again, pull it through the magic ring. Then that would bring up a loop and then we're going to yarn over, bring the hook to the back and on top of the working yarn then pull it through the first two loops only. Now we're left with two loops on our hook. We yarn over, pull it through the rest of the two loops. Just like this. And then I'm going to demonstrate it one last time. So yarn over and then insert our hook into the magic ring and then yarn over again, pull it through the magic ring and that would bring up a loop and there is a total of three loops on our hook. Yarn over and then pull it through just the first two loops and then you could do it slowly if you struggle to pull it through the loops. Then we're left with two loops on our hook. Yarn over and then pull it through the first at the rest of the two loops. Just like this. Basically we're going to repeat this until we get 12 double crochet. So we've already done five double crochet and it's the exact same thing. We're gonna do seven more. So I've made 12 double crochet and to count you can either count on the side like one two three four five six or you can look at your piece from the top and then you can see a bunch of V's and each V represents one stitch. So you can either count the V or count the stitch itself. Also if you struggle to make the stitches you can re-watch the beginning of the video where I showed how to do the stitches very slowly and it's basically the same thing. Now we're going to close up this gap in the middle and to close it up we're going to pull this tail over here. Just gonna pull it and then the the gap would automatically close up. So after it's closed up as you can see there is still a opening. It's still not a complete circle yet. We're going to join to the very first stitch to close up this circle. So place our hook back into the loop and then now we're going to do a slip stitch to the very first stitch to join and complete the circle. Where the stitch marker is is the very first stitch. So this actually makes it easier for us. Now you just need to insert your the stitch in the stitch marker. After inserting into the same stitch as the stitch marker we can take the stitch marker off and then now we're going to do a slip stitch. To do a slip stitch yarn over first and then pull it through the stitch and then with the loop that we have pulled up which is the loop on our left we're going to pull it through the loop on our right like this. After that we need to tighten it and this step is very important or else we'll mistaken this slip stitch as an extra stitch. So to start round two we're going to start by chaining two and the chain two actually gives height for the double crochet. So to chain yarn over and then pull it through the loop on our hook and then for the second chain yarn over and then pull it through the loop on your hook. And now on the side you can see there is two v's which means chain two. Now we're going to make our very first double crochet. It's the same stitch so yarn over first and then insert our hook into the very first stitch and if you don't know where the very first stitch is just look at where the and just go to that stitch. And when you're inserting your hook make sure you're going through the v. We're going to continue with the double crochet. Yarn over pull it through the stitch and that will bring up a loop. Now we have three loops on our hook. Yarn over pull it through just the first two loops and then we're left with two loops on our hook. Yarn over pull it through the rest of the two loops on our hook. And since this is the very first stitch, I don't know if you remember but for the very first stitch we need to place our stitch marker. So basically just place the stitch marker on the v that's right on top of the double crochet. So if you look at your stitch from the top there is a v and if you look at it from the side there is three v's. The bottom two is the chain two and the top one is the stitch. So make sure you insert it into the right one and then also you need to go through the hole of the v so basically both loops. We're gonna continue with our round two and for round two since our circle is going to expand for each stitch it's going to be an increase. So what is an increase? An increase is essentially placing two stitches in one stitch. So we have already placed one double crochet in one stitch and what we're gonna do is that we're gonna place another double crochet here in the exact same stitch. So for one stitch there will be two double crochet coming out and then the other stitch there will be two double crochet coming out and like this. So the increase actually would expand our circle so it would like be a flat circle. So now let's do the second double crochet in the very first stitch and don't worry the double crochet is the same stitch as always. So to do a double crochet yarn over and then we're going to insert our hook right into the that we just did a double crochet. So here and then just insert it through then yarn over pull it through. Now we have three loops on our hook. Yarn over and then pull it through just the first two loops. First loop and the second loop. Now we're left with two loops on our hook. We're going to yarn over and then pull it through the last two loops and as you can see here this is one stitch and then there is actually two double crochet coming out from one stitch. So this is an increase we're gonna do this for a total of 12 times until we reach the last stitch. So for the second one we're going to yarn over and then place and insert our hook into the next stitch. To see the next stitch it's basically the next V from the previous stitch. So here is the next stitch. So yarn over insert our hook into the next stitch which is the next V and as you can see I'm going through a V. So both loops of the V. Then yarn over pull it through. Now we have three loops on our hook. Yarn over pull it through just the first two loops. First one and the second one. Now we're left with two loops on our hook. Yarn over and then pull it through the last two loops and then this is our first double crochet for the increase. So we're going to do another double crochet in the exact same stitch. So yarn over insert our hook into the same stitch. Yarn over again pull it through. Now we have three loops on our hook. Yarn over and then pull it through just the first two loops. First loop and the second loop. We're left with two loops on our hook. Yarn over pull it through both loops. For the third increase it's the same thing. So yarn over insert our hook into the third stitch. So basically the V that's right next to the previous stitch. So this V just insert it and make sure you go through the whole V. Then yarn over pull it through the stitch to bring up a loop. Yarn over pull it through both loops and then now we're left with two loops on our hook. Yarn over pull it through the rest of the two loops. And this is the very first stitch for the increase. Let's finish the other half. Place another double crochet into the exact same stitch. At this point I think everyone is kind of familiar with how to make the double crochet so I'm just not going to explain it that detailed like I did in the beginning. But if you're still not sure how to make it you can re-watch the beginning and be familiar with the stitch first. And then for the fourth increase it's the same thing. Insert your hook into the next stitch. Basically placing two double crochet in the exact same stitch here. So I'm going to place the first one and then I'm going to place my second one second double crochet in the exact same stitch. For the fifth one it's the same thing. Make sure you go through both of the loops of the V. So we're going to repeat this until you reach the end of the round. So continue placing two double crochet in the same exact stitch and then we'll have a total of 24 stitches. And to count if you have 24 stitches you can count the number of V's or the stitches itself. And stitch counting is very important. If you have a wrong stitch count you have to redo the whole thing. And to redo you basically pull out the working yarn and then redo the whole thing. And then if you have 24 stitches then we can move on. So now we're going to close up the circle. And if you remember how to close it up basically we insert our hook into the very first stitch which is where the stitch marker is at. So basically insert into the stitch, take the stitch marker, then do a slip stitch. Do a slip stitch, yarn over, pull it through the loop on your hook, and also pull it through the loop on your hook. Then as you can see it creates a V. That might be mistaken as a stitch so to avoid that we need to pull it really tight. This step is very very important. I cannot stress this enough. As you can see here the slip stitch is kind of like very tiny and you can't really see it like over here so we can make sure that we don't mistaken it as a stitch. Now let's go ahead and start round three. First we're gonna start by chaining two. So yarn over first, pull it through the loop on your hook, then yarn over again, pull it through the loop on your hook. For round three there will be increases around round three as well but there will be also one double crochet at a time. So the sequence for round three is that we're gonna place the first double crochet in the very first stitch and for the second double crochet there will be an increase. For the third stitch there'll be one double crochet and then for a fourth stitch it is double crochet increase and this sequence goes on. So one double crochet, double crochet increase, double crochet, double crochet increase, double crochet, double crochet increase. I think everyone got the gist so let's start. So basically make the very first double crochet in the very first stitch and to find the first stitch basically go into the stitch that the chain is connected to. Basically it's attached to the very first stitch. Go into that stitch, make sure to go through the both V, then place a double crochet. This is our one double crochet in one stitch. Then for the second one it's going to be an increase. So an increase is what we did in round two. Two double crochet in one stitch. So let's place our very first double crochet in the increase stitch, basically the next stitch. So place the first double crochet first and then we're going to do another double crochet in the exact same stitch. So going back into the same stitch here and then place a double crochet. Now we need to place one double crochet in the next stitch. So just for the next stitch here insert your hook into the stitch, place a double crochet, and then for the next stitch it is an increase. So two double crochet in one stitch. So first insert your hook into the stitch, then place the first double crochet for the increase. Since we need a total of two, we're going to place another one in the exact same stitch. So I'm going back into the exact same stitch that I did before, placing another double crochet in that stitch, just like this. And as you can see, we can see a pattern of one double crochet, double crochet, increase, one double crochet, double crochet, increase. Then the pattern goes on until the end. Also guys, I'm so sorry. I forgot to tell you guys to insert your hook, insert the stitch marker in the very first stitch, but it's okay. We're still, we're still very beginning. We're still in the very beginning, like this. Then we're going to continue. So we're up to the one double crochet in a stitch. So going into the next stitch, place one double crochet. Then it's followed by a double crochet increase. So for the next stitch, place two double crochet, my first double crochet, and then my second double crochet, going back into the same stitch. And this goes on for the rest of the round. One double crochet, double crochet, increase, one double crochet, double crochet, increase. You should have a total of 36 stitches. So let me just finish up this round. And it's very repetitive, so I'm not going to show you the thing because it is just what I've showed you in the beginning, basically repeating it for the rest of the round. And also, if you made a wrong stitch, basically pull the working yarn slowly, and then just get back into the stitch you need to work on. And just like this, and continue crocheting. Now I have finished my round 3, and I'm going to join to the very first stitch to start round 4. So insert my hook into the very first stitch here, like this, and then remove the stitch marker. Then do a slip stitch. Yarn over, pull it through the stitch, pull it through the loop on your hook as well, and tighten it. Now for round 4, we're going to chain 2. So yarn over, pull it through the loop on your hook, yarn over, pull it through the loop on your hook. So the sequence is starting with an increase first in the very first stitch, then followed by 2 individual double crochet. So 1 double crochet, and then the other double crochet. Then it is increase, and then 2 individual double crochet, increase, 2 individual double crochet, like this. So let's start. So first place our very first double crochet in the first stitch, the stitch that the chain 2 is connected to. So I've placed my first stitch, and since the first stitch needs to be an increase, place another double crochet in the exact same stitch. Then for the following 2 stitches, it is just going to be 1 double crochet at a time. So the next stitch, which is the next V, 1 double crochet in 1 stitch, then another 1 double crochet in 1 stitch, just like this. Then it is followed by an increase, so insert your hook into the next stitch, place the first double crochet, place a second double crochet in the exact same stitch to make an increase, just like this. Now it is followed by 2 individual double crochet, going to this next stitch, and then place just 1 double crochet, 1 double crochet here, and the second individual double crochet. Again, I forgot to, and then we have repeated this pattern twice. Now for the third time, we start with the increase, so going to the next stitch, place a double crochet increase. So going back into the same stitch, place another double crochet. I've made an increase now, then it's 2 individual double crochet. So I've made my first double crochet next to the increase, then the second double crochet, and the next stitch as well, just like this. So as you can see here, double crochet increase, individual 2 double crochet, double crochet increase, 2 individual double crochet, and double crochet increase, 2 individual double crochet. We're going to repeat this until the end of the round, and we should have a total of 48 stitches. So I finished my round 4, and it ended on my second individual double crochet. Now we're going to join to the very first stitch. So insert your hook into the very first stitch where the stitch marker is at, then remove the stitch marker, and do a slip stitch. To do a slip stitch, yarn over, pull it through the stitch, and also pull it through the loop on your hook, and then tighten it. Now congratulations, you have a circle! And we're going to make the bear ears now, and the ears might be a little bit harder than the double crochet stitch, but honestly if you could do the circle, I'm 100% sure you'll be able to do the bear ears, and I'll go extra slow for the ears. I think this is a very good start for beginners to learn about all the basic stitches, because it is very common to see these stitches. So first we're going to start by doing a single crochet in the very first stitch. To do a single crochet, it is a very tiny stitch, it is half of the length of the double crochet. So you know how for double crochet we need to yarn over before inserting our hook, but for single crochet we don't need that. So we just need to insert our hook into the next stitch. We do not need chaining or anything, just insert it into the next stitch, which is the V closest to the loop on your hook. Then after inserting your hook, yarn over just like how we did before, grab the working yarn, then pull it through the loop on your hook, and pull it through the stitch, sorry. Now we have two loops on our hook, yarn over, then pull it through both loops on our hook. And this is our single crochet. As you can see, single crochet is tiny, it's very small. Then it's followed by a double crochet. Now we've done double crochet all over the piece, so I'm sure I don't need to explain it. So just do a double crochet in the next stitch here. Then it's followed by three treble crochet in the exact same stitch in the next stitch. So for a treble crochet, it is a bit taller than a double crochet. If you could do double crochet, I'm sure you could do treble crochet as well. So first, we yarn over before inserting our hook. Instead of yarning over once, we're going to yarn over twice. So after yarning over the first time, do it again. So now the yarn has wrapped around your hook for two times. Then insert your hook into the next stitch here. Just go into the stitch, then yarn over just like how we did before, just like the double crochet, pull it through the stitch to bring up a loop. The only thing that's different is that there is a total of four loops on your hook instead of three, unlike double crochet. Now we're going to yarn over and then just pull through the very first two loops. So the first loop and the second loop. Now it is the same as double crochet. So we are left with three loops on our hook. Yarn over, treat it as a double crochet, pull through the first two loops. Now we're left with two loops on our hook. Yarn over, pull it through the last two loops, just like this. Now as you can see, treble crochet is taller than a double crochet. That's why you need to wrap around twice. So we need two more treble crochet in the exact same stitch. So let's do it again. Yarn over once, twice, then insert your hook into the exact same stitch that you did your previous treble crochet in, and then yarn over, pull it through the stitch to bring up a loop. Now we have four loops on our hook. We yarn over, pull it through just the first two loops. Now we're left with three loops on our hook. Yarn over, pull it through just the first two loops. We're left with two loops on our hook. Yarn over, pull it through two loops on our hook. So basically, you just yarn over and pull through two loops at a time. So to do it again, that's our last treble crochet in the exact same stitch. So yarn over once, and for the second time, then insert our hook into the exact same stitch, then yarn over, pull it through the stitch. Now we're left with four loops on our hook. We yarn over and pull through just two loops at a time. So yarn over, pull through the first two loops. Now we're left with three loops on our hook. Yarn over, pull through the first two loops. We're left with two loops on our hook. Yarn over and pull through the last two loops. just like this. And then now for the next stitch, it is just going to be a reverse of the beginning stitches. So we do a double crochet in the next stitch, next V. So to do a double crochet, we yarn over just like that and then insert it into the next stitch, yarn over, pull it through the stitch. Now we got three loops on our hook. Yarn over, pull it through the first two loops that were left with two loops on our hook, yarn over, pull it through the rest of the two loops. And then now for the next stitch, it is going to be a single crochet. To do a single crochet, it is the shortest stitch so we do not need to yarn over beforehand. We just need to insert our hook right away, then yarn over, pull it through the stitch. Now we have two loops on our hook, yarn over, pull it through both loops on our hook, just like this. So we've done our first ear and then we're just going to do a total of eight slip stitches to the left and these slip stitches actually transfer our hook to this part of the piece so we can do our second ear over here. So insert our hook into the next stitch and then do a slip stitch. For this slip stitch, we do not need to tighten it. We do want the slip stitch to be mistaken as a stitch because if you have like tight knots on top of the stitch, it's gonna look weird. So just do a slip stitch. So to do a slip stitch, yarn over, pull it through the stitch, then also pull it through the loop on your hook. And do not tighten it. So as you can see here, it is very loose. It literally has a V on top. That's what we want for this time. This is our first slip stitch. Go into the second slip stitch, second stitch, and place another slip stitch. To yarn over, pull it through the stitch, and then pull it through the loop, like this. So we've done two slip stitches. We're gonna do a total of eight. And then for the next slip stitch, insert your hook into next stitch, yarn over, pull it through the stitch, pull it through the loop on your hook, like this. So insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over, pull it through the stitch, also pull it through the loop on your hook. Insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over, pull it through the stitch, also pull it through the loop on your hook. Again, until we reach 8 slip stitches. Let me just count it. So after making 8 slip stitches, we're going to do the exact same thing on this side of the ear. So first we're going to start by making the shortest stitch, which is the single crochet. So insert our hook into the next stitch, like this, then yarn over, pull it through the stitch. Now we've got 2 loops on our hook. Yarn over, and then pull it through both loops on our hook, just like this. Then for the second stitch, we're going to do a double crochet. So yarn over, insert our hook into the next stitch, yarn over again, pull it through. Now we've got 3 loops on our hook. Yarn over, pull it through the first 2 loops, then yarn over, pull it through the last 2 loops. Then it is the treble crochet stitch. Remember, we're going to do 3 treble crochet in the exact same stitch. So to do a treble crochet, I hope you guys remember this, for treble crochet we need to yarn over twice. So yarn over once, and the second time. Then insert our hook into the next stitch here, just insert it, then yarn over, pull it through the stitch. Now we've got 4 loops on our hook. Yarn over, and pull it through the first 2 loops at a time. So pull it through the first 2 loops, then we're left with 3 loops on our hook. Treat it as a double crochet, yarn over, also pull it through the first 2 loops, same thing. And then for the last 2 loops, yarn over, pull it through. Now again, yarn over twice, insert our hook into the stitch, yarn over again, pull it through the stitch, we got 4 loops on our hook. Yarn over, pull it through the first 2 loops at a time. So yarn over, pull through the first 2 loops, and then we're left with 2 loops, yarn over, pull through the rest of the 2. We need to do our last treble crochet, so yarn over twice, insert our hook into the exact same stitch, yarn over again, pull it through. Now we have 4 loops on our hook, yarn over, pull it through the first 2 loops, and then yarn over, pull it through the first 2 loops, then yarn over, pull it through the rest of the 2 loops. Then for the next stitch, it is a double crochet, so just yarn over once, insert our hook into the stitch, yarn over again, pull it through, then we got 3 loops on our hook, yarn over, pull through the first 2 loops, yarn over, pull through the rest of the 2 loops. Now for the next stitch, it is a single crochet, so insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, now we got 2 loops on our hook, yarn over, pull it through both loops on our hook. Now to end this project, I'm going to slip stitch on the next stitch, so insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over, pull it through the stitch, and also pull it through the loop on your hook. And then for this time you need to tighten it, because we need to fasten off. So tighten it and then pull a big loop, and just go ahead and cut the loop. Now we're going to weave in, and to weave in, basically we're going to hide these 2 tails, so I'm going to grab this tail, then I'm going to thread it through my darning needle. What we're going to do is that we're going to hide the tail into the stitches, so that no one can see the tail. So first we're going to do the weaving in part at the back of the piece, so you can just insert it like over here. No one is going to see the back of the piece, and the main purpose is to just hide it, like that's literally it. So just go through it loop by loop on the back piece, and remember when you're going through the loop, make sure you cannot see your needle at the front, or else if you can see your needle, that means when you pull it through, the end is going to show up from the front piece. So make sure that you're only going to the back loops only. And then after that I'm just going to pull it through, then after hiding it in the stitches on the back, I'm just going to cut it here, and then I'm going to do the same for the magic ring. I literally just go through like random loops on the back, because no one is going to see it anyway, so it doesn't have to be perfect. Just cut it at the end.
