New Small Crochet Channel to Watch Today! Episode 7

New Crochet Channel Spotlight: Rhi Stitches (Episode 7)

Finding a new crochet channel that feels like good company while I stitch is such a treat. In this episode of Secret Yarnery’s small creator shout-outs, I’m spotlighting a relaxed, project-filled channel from Sydney, Australia: Rhi Stitches. If you like a mix of makes (not just one niche), plus a calm vibe you can keep on while you crochet, this one is worth adding to your watch list.

Meet Rhi from Rhi Stitches in Sydney, Australia

Rhi is a maker based in Sydney, and her channel bio says it best: crafting gal making cute things, crochet artist from Sydney, Australia. That description fits the feel of her videos: cozy, creative, and down-to-earth.

I also had a relatable moment trying to figure out the name pronunciation. You might see “restitches” mentioned (and hear a couple of variations while I’m doing the shout-out), but the channel featured is Rhi Stitches on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rhi.stitches. The point is clear even if you’ve ever second-guessed a name out loud: this creator is fun to watch, and the content speaks for itself.

What makes the channel extra enjoyable for me is that Rhi doesn’t stick to only one craft. There’s a little mix of everything, which keeps each upload feeling fresh. She sews, she knits, and she crochets (with crochet clearly being the favorite). That multi-craft angle is inspiring if your own project basket looks like three hobbies got together and planned a party.

Most importantly, the tone is relaxed. When I put on one of her videos while I work on my own project, it feels like having someone chatting nearby. It’s the kind of background that helps me stay focused and happy with my stitches.

If you want crochet content that feels calm and friendly (not rushed), Rhi Stitches fits that mood well.

A "mix of everything" channel, not just one type of crochet

Some crochet channels go all-in on one category, like only plushies, only wearables, or only blanket projects. Rhi Stitches stands out to me because her makes cover a wide range. And it’s not just amigurumi, which is part of what makes her channel easy to binge.

Rhi's lineup of crochet projects includes the big three that many crocheters rotate through depending on the season and attention span:

• Blankets for those long, satisfying repeats
• Garments when you're in the mood to wear your stitches
• Amigurumi like amigurumi plushies and stuffed animals (often using soft chenille yarn) when you want something playful and quick to show off

Then there are the delightfully unexpected projects. I mention a crocheted tree trunk, plus a moon. That’s the kind of creativity that can shake me out of “I guess I’ll make another rectangle” mode. Even if I never plan to crochet a moon myself, watching someone try something different can spark ideas for colors, textures, and shapes.

If you're a newer crocheter into beginner crochet, this is also a nice reminder that you don't have to wait until you're "advanced" to explore. Many makers, from beginners to experienced crocheters, start with a classic base (like granny stitches or simple shapes), then build into more playful items over time. If you want a simple, confidence-building project to work on while you watch, this step-by-step crochet tutorial for a beginner granny square pattern is a great option to keep your hands moving while your brain enjoys the show.

Why this small creator shout-out matters (and Rhi's channel stats)

This episode is part of a series where I highlight smaller YouTube creators who are showing up, posting consistently, and adding something good to the crochet community. The goal is simple: give some yarny love to creators who deserve more eyes on their work.

At the time of the shout-out, Rhi Stitches had already built a solid library, with consistent uploads and a growing audience. Here are the channel details I share in the episode:

That combination (steady output, varied projects, and a comfortable on-camera vibe) is exactly what makes a smaller channel feel like a hidden gem. You get the freshness of a creator still experimenting, plus enough back catalog to watch for days.

I also mention that Rhi does more than just film makes. There are podcasts, market prep, and the general rhythm of someone building a creative life around yarn and handmade work. If you enjoy crochet podcasts because they feel like a casual hangout, you might also like the same style from Secret Yarnery, like this one:

How to support Rhi Stitches (and other small crochet channels)

Supporting a small creator doesn’t have to be complicated, and it makes a real difference. My encouragement is to head over, watch a video or two, and subscribe if the channel feels like your vibe.

Here's a simple way to do it that matches the spirit of the episode:

1. Visit Rhi Stitches on YouTube and pick a YouTube crochet video that grabs you.
2. Watch it all the way through (or as much as you can in one sitting).
3. Leave a kind comment and a thumbs up.
4. Subscribe if you want more of that style in your feed.

That's it. Those small actions help the channel reach more crocheters who will genuinely enjoy it.

Supporting small creators helps the crochet community grow stronger, because it keeps more voices, styles, and handmade items in rotation.

If you like the community side of crochet, you’ll probably also enjoy projects that bring people together in a shared timeline, like crochet-alongs. Here’s my explainer on what to expect and how to join: what is a crochet-along and how to join.

Suggest a channel for a future episode (and keep the list growing)

At the end of the episode, I add a note for anyone who has a channel that I haven’t mentioned yet: tell me in the comments. This part of the series focuses on channels that are brand new to me, meaning creators I hadn’t heard of before. Later episodes may include bigger channels, smaller channels, and channels I already know, but this segment is all about fresh discoveries.

If you want to join in, here are a few questions I’d love you to answer:

• Have you already watched Rhi Stitches before this shout-out?
• Who should get featured in the next episode?
• Who are some small crochet channels that deserve more attention?
• Do you have a small crochet channel you want the community to know about?

It's a simple way to keep the crochet internet feeling friendly, where creators help each other get seen and build their crochet business instead of trying to grow alone. If you also like seeing what kinds of projects can come out of a productive season at the hook, Secret Yarnery has a great roundup post that shows how varied crafting with yarn can get when you follow your curiosity: spring crochet projects lessons.
