The Crochet Crowd was first developed through YouTube as a community. Our website and social presence that we know today as Social Media followed about 2 years after as we were on the cusp of a new generation of How-To Tutorials.
Playlists are updated each time a new video is added to YouTube, which is daily in some cases. There are currently 310 ways that our tutorials are sorted. Below is an organized alphabetical list for your enjoyment. Each link will take you directly to YouTube to exactly the playlist that matches.
Project Levels
Projects here are sorted by the level that is assigned to the pattern. We don't do many advanced level projects, so Intermediate and Advanced are grouped together as well.
Projects Patterns by Category or Theme
Projects are grouped together to match themes which include the usage of the project. Whether it's for home decor, babies and clothing.
Special Occasion Patterns
Projects are sorted by calendar or life events that stand apart from the rest of regular crochet projects. Whether it's festive or even patriotism.
Stitch Concepts or Techniques
These are concepts like a mosaic overlay or unique stitch combinations that are used in several types of projects. Examples would be crocheting with wire, hugs & kisses stitches, graphghans and much more.
Crochet Patterns Broken into Video Chapters
These are projects where chapters are made for either section of a project so the community can work together in a project. Breaking a major project into chapters also makes the project feel more doable. In time, some major stitch alongs are combined into a mega video, other times, they are left on their own.
Crochet Patterns by Yarn Brands
Videos are sorted here by the brands of yarn that are used in the project. Sometimes, the projects are shown with different yarns during filming due to inventory or preference for learning purposes.

Hi Mikey,
Been trying to find out this answer to this question about the Caron school colors afghan for awhile.
In your tutorial, in rows 8-11 the pattern says to dtr into hdc. You treble into the 3rd hdc instead of using double trebles . Any reason you changed the stitch ? Or was just an Innocent error ? Thanks for your tutorial they are helpful!

I think someone asked this on a tutorial as well. It's probably just experience. I filmed it a long time ago and I cannot remember the reason why I did it. If it's failing you, just use the pattern as always.

I purchased your book from Chapters in Fredericton and love it to bits ♥ I'm slowly gathering yarn for my next project in the book which is Jeanne Steinhilber's "Into the Light" afghan from page 97. By chance, I recently discovered in the TUTORIALS section that there is an error on page 104 for round 60. Duly noted that in my book. Then I saw that there are tutorials for this afghan but there's a warning that it is only for "subscribed" members. There are a few stitches I've never done before so I'm wondering if I am allowed to follow the tutorials or not. I don't want to be breaking any rules for sure.
Mikey says
The into the light tutorials will become available in the future for general use. If it goes public, the book is void. I'm holding until the books are completely sold out as there won't be a new re-print of the book.

Hi Mikey,
I love your designs for 5 textured crochet pillows and am starting to make the Textured Flower Pillow (also called Flower in the Square Pillow). It has occurred to me that I can't see any instructions for the reverse side of the pillow. Do you intend for both sides to have the flower motif? Thank you so much for any guidance you can give!
Mikey says
Yes, both sides have the same motif but if you prefer the back to be different, you can create something else if you wish.
