The r/crochet subreddit has to have one of the most detailed wikis that we have ever seen. It’s an extremely detailed archive that walks members, new and old, through the most frequently asked questions.
It’s a literal library of resources and troubleshooting and is a fine way to broach popular topics without the mods having to repeat themselves a hundred times over. You can find the sub’s full wiki right over here. Meanwhile, here’s their section on getting started with the hobby!

So stunning. Love all the different stitches and the looped roof. Very time consuming and eats yarn. It could be a wall hanging. You could add a row of double or triple crochet, skipping every other stitch and run a rod through them to help support it to hang evenly. The other one looks like it's beautiful as well.
The r/crochet online group is practically ancient. It’s been up and running all the way since September 2008. Over the past 15 years, the sub has cemented itself as one of the best niches for crochet enthusiasts on the entire net.
At the time of writing, the community had expanded to nearly 653k members. It’s grown by leaps and bounds since Bored Panda’s first feature about it in July 2021. Back then, the sub had 257k members.

These make me want to learn to crochet! Is it hard? I have arthritis in my hands so I probably shouldn't bother. But I'd love to make this kind of thing for gifts.

Love the plants! Beautiful work. The cutsie faces are too much for my taste, would've been better without them I think

Disagree. They are adorable. And kawaii is supposed to be cutesy like that.

It’s genuinely wholesome to see new people pick up the hobby and try their hands at doing something completely new. And hats off to the moderator team for keeping everything running smoothly. They have a set of very clear rules on what (not) to do as a member, so it helps keep everyone on the same page.

Redditors are expected to be kind and courteous to others and not share copyrighted material without permission. If you plan on sharing pictures of your pets or babies, make sure you do so only on Thursdays. And if you want to share pics of your stash or yarn haul, do so on Saturdays. Queries about what you can do with yarn should also be fielded then.

What’s more, members should avoid self-promotion unless it’s in the weekly promo thread. “We try to keep our subreddit full of fun contributions and discussion, and we aren't really a platform for you to sell your product or promote your brand,” the moderators explain their reasoning. There are some exceptions to this rule, though.

Not Bad For Not Using A Pattern! (Part 2)
“We do allow good contributors (people who are otherwise active in the subreddit, comment thoughtfully, and post non-promo threads on a regular basis) to occasionally post a promo thread, but it is up to the mod team's discretion whether to remove self-promotion if it becomes excessive.”
Redditors who have questions ought to post them in the Question Hub. And everyone should do their best to keep all topics focused on crochet. That’s what the subreddit is all about after all! Off-topic posts will get removed by the mod team. And if you happen to get a ban, for any reason, the mods also ask you not to create new accounts to circumvent them.

“The chameleon had done what chameleons do best for far too long. He was sick and tired of hiding who they were. What better way to come out to your community of chameleons than to become a crocheted trans flag!” ❤️
A while ago, the friendly mod team at r/crochet was kind enough to answer Bored Panda’s questions about the community. "We pride ourselves on maintaining a kind and helpful sub that is welcoming to crocheters of all skill levels and experience," they told us back in the summer of 2021. None of the redditors on the mod team actually know how the sub began in 2008.
"Crochet is definitely the most beginner-friendly between crochet, knitting, and sewing. This is because, in part, it’s the easiest to rip apart (called frogging) and go back to fix a mistake," one of the moderators shared with us. "Most beginners often find difficulty in knowing where to place the hook in each stitch and figuring out how to coordinate holding the yarn, hook, and work all at the same time!"

Finally, An Unkillable Plant For My Desk
If you happen to know how to knit or sew, you may have an advantage if you decide to pick up crochet. According to the mod, there’s some overlap between crochet and knitting because they’re both yarn crafts. “Other similarities include knowing how to count stitches and read written patterns. There is no real crossover with sewing, except perhaps that advanced sewers may have an advantage in understanding how garments drape and fit," they told Bored Panda.

Holy kittens-that is beautiful! The size is perfect too. Impressive.
"Learning to crochet, like everything else, has a learning curve! Luckily, it’s pretty easy to get started—all you really need is a hook and a skein of yarn," the redditor said. "Most people find it easiest to learn from YouTube videos, and they are a fantastic resource for learning new stitches and patterns. There are also some wonderful books out there that can teach every conceivable stitch—you want to look for something called a 'crochet stitch dictionary' or similar. Other than that, have fun and don’t be afraid to experiment! And of course, visit the sub for help or advice!"
