Marly Bird’s YouTube Channel
I launched the Marly Bird YouTube channel way back in 2014! My oldest video is a tutorial on how to crochet a slip knot and work the chain stitch. In other words, I started off the channel teaching you the basics of crochet. And although both my knit and crochet videos are popular, my most popular video tutorial is a crochet project.

Absolute Beginner Crochet Throw
The most popular of all is this video for How to Crochet the Absolute Beginner Throw. People often want to learn how to crochet blankets when they’re learning how to crochet. After all, they’ve seen many crochet blankets throughout their lifetimes. Moreover, the square or rectangular shape is simple, and yet it’s a big project that allows you to really practice those new skills.
The Absolute Beginner Throw crochet pattern uses a chunky yarn, so it works up pretty quickly, even for newbies. You use double crochet stitches to complete most of this project. It’s easy-peasy and yet it’s a terrific blanket. You can easily gift this to people with pride, especially if you’re looking for a present for a new baby.
