Start with a 5mm hook and medium-weight (size 4) yarn. Learn three stitches — slip knot, chain, and single crochet — and you can make your first project in an afternoon. Most beginners in our community had their first finished piece within a week.

Just three things: a 5mm crochet hook, one skein of medium yarn, and scissors. Skip starter kits — grab Lion Brand or Red Heart from any craft store. Add a yarn needle later for weaving in ends. Total cost: under $10.

Yes — creators in our community earn $300–$2,000/month selling amigurumi, dishcloths, and wearables. The key is pricing your time correctly (materials × 3 + hourly rate × hours) and photographing on a clean background.

Use this formula: (materials cost × 3) + (your hourly rate × hours). A $12 materials item taking 2 hours at $15/hr = $66 retail. Never price below materials × 2 — buyers who value handmade will pay fair prices.

Tago has Crochet Circle, Amigurumi Circle, and Stitch School — all active with daily posts. Members share WIPs, ask for help, and sell their work directly. It's the most engaged hobby community we've seen outside of in-person guilds.

Crochet uses one hooked needle, one live loop at a time. Knitting uses two pointed needles with many loops active simultaneously. Crochet is easier to learn, harder to drop stitches, and produces thicker fabric — most beginners prefer it.
