New Small Crochet Channel to Watch Today! Episode 6

This New Crochet Channel Is Amazing (Episode 6): Lady Samoan, The Lady of Crochet

Some crochet channels teach you something new. Others lift your mood the minute you press play. This episode of Secret Yarnery's small-creator spotlight is all about the second kind, a bright, confident, happy and fun crochet corner led by Lady Samoan (LadySamoan The Lady-of-Crochet).

If you've been stuck in a project slump, or you just want a creator who brings good vibes along with yarn, this feature is for you. You'll get a quick feel for what she makes (think hats and amigurumi), what her energy is like on camera, and the one video that had me laughing and also taking notes for next year.

A crochet pick-me-up you can count on

There's a certain kind of video that feels like a warm drink and a good chat, even if you only have ten minutes before work. That's the vibe Lady Samoan brings to YouTube. As Christa puts it, "All of her videos are so like happy and fun that no matter what you're feeling that day, she is going to make you feel better." That's a big promise, but it makes sense once you see how upbeat her content is.

At the time this episode was filmed, her channel had 2,560 subscribers and 604 videos, which tells you two things right away: she shows up consistently, and there's plenty to watch when you want a boost of crochet motivation. It's the kind of channel you can binge for ideas, or dip into when you need something light and positive in the background while you stitch.

If you want to visit her directly, start with LadySamoan The Lady-of-Crochet on YouTube. Her channel description sets the tone perfectly:

"Welcome to the Lady of Crochet Creations, home of the beautiful love plushies. Join me on a colorful journey into my world of crochet... My channel is a cozy corner of creativity where I share my passion for crochet and all things yarn related."

That word "cozy" fits. Even when she's being bold and bright, the channel still feels welcoming, like you're allowed to enjoy your yarn time without pressure.

What Lady Samoan makes: hats, amigurumi, and lots of color

Lady Samoan's project style is clear, and that's part of why her channel is so easy to fall into. She has "a jam," and she leans into it. Christa sums it up simply: she does amigurumi and hats, and she loves color.

The projects you'll see most

If you browse her uploads, the themes come through fast:

• Amigurumi plushies, including the "love plushies" she mentions in her channel description
• Hats, which make great quick wins and giftable projects
• Bright colors, because neutrals are not required to be "serious crochet"

That mix is a sweet spot for a lot of crocheters. Amigurumi scratches the itch for cute, collectible makes, while hats are practical and repeatable. Also, both categories work great for using bold shades because a hat stripe or a plushie body is a low-risk place to try "loud" yarn.

If hats are your comfort project too, it's fun to compare styles across creators. For extra hat inspiration, Secret Yarnery also has a roundup worth saving, like top 10 crochet cat hat patterns when you want something playful.

Her on-camera vibe (and why it matters)

Personality is a real part of why people subscribe, especially for crochet YouTube. Lady Samoan brings confidence, big color, and signature style. Christa even jokes about matching her energy: "I'll put on a bright shirt for you. This is my Lady Simone shirt." (In the video description, the spelling is Lady Samoan, so that's the name to look for.)

And yes, there are the glasses. Christa calls them "crazy glasses," and she says she appreciates them, because a bold accessory is a whole mood. It's not just about fashion, it's about permission. When someone shows up fully themselves on camera, it gives the rest of us permission to do the same in our crochet, whether that means neon yarn, silly pom poms, or making plushies that exist just to make you smile.

The crochet "Academy Awards" video that's funny and motivating

One of the standout moments in this feature is a specific Lady Samoan video, where she basically gives herself an award show for everything she made in 2025. Christa describes it as "a hoot," and that's the most accurate review possible.

Here's the exact video Christa calls out: Lady Samoan's crochet awards video.

What happens in the video (and why it works)

The concept is simple: she treats her finished projects like nominees and winners, then celebrates them with full commitment. Even the setup is part of the comedy. Christa mentions Lady Samoan put her microphone on a Furls crochet hook (on a metal crochet hook) and hosted the whole thing like a real awards show.

That detail is what makes it memorable. It's playful, it's homemade, and it's confident. She isn't waiting for someone else to give her a trophy. She's saying, "I made things, I showed up, and it counts."

It's also a smart idea for anyone who creates. Crochet can be oddly invisible when you're busy. You finish a hat, gift it, start another project, and never pause long enough to feel proud.

The message behind the laughs

Under the jokes, there's a real point: celebrate what you did, not just what you didn't finish.

Christa explains it like this: we can be productive and still focus on the unfinished things, the half-done projects, the "I meant to" list. Lady Samoan's take is the opposite. Give yourself a pat on the back for what you made, what you learned, and what you actually completed.

Give yourself a pat on the back for the great things you did, be proud of yourself, and there's nothing wrong with openly being proud.

That mindset is helpful in crochet because "progress" isn't only a stack of finished objects. It can also be: you learned a new stitch, you frogged without melting down, you tried a new yarn color, you kept going.

Christa even says she's "definitely going to be doing Academy Awards for 2026," and honestly, that sounds like a tradition worth stealing.

If you like structured creative challenges, you might also enjoy something like the 12 Days of Hats Design Challenge. It's a different format than an awards show, but it has the same energy of making, finishing, and seeing your work add up.

How to support small crochet creators (in a way that actually helps)

A shoutout is nice, but support is more than a quick click. Christa's whole series is about lifting up smaller channels that are "showing up, creating amazing content, and just making our community a better place." Lady Samoan is one of those creators, and a little community support goes a long way.

Here's how to support her in a way that matters on YouTube:

1. Start at LadySamoan The Lady-of-Crochet on YouTube and pick a video that sounds fun.
2. Watch the video all the way through (watch time helps more than most people realize).
3. Leave a kind comment, and hit the thumbs up if you enjoyed it.
4. Subscribe if you like her style, especially if you want more hats and amigurumi with bright color.

If you do comment, it can be as simple as saying you found her through Secret Yarnery and that her energy made your day better. That kind of message sticks with creators, especially when they're building.

And if this episode puts you in a hat-making mood, Secret Yarnery has several beginner-friendly options to keep your momentum going, including the super easy crochet hat for beginners or the speedy Granny Ruth crochet hat pattern when you want something fast.

The behind-the-scenes bloopers that keep it real

The episode wraps with a little behind-the-scenes humor, and it's the perfect button on a feel-good recommendation. There's hair fluffing ("Spruce the hair. Does it help?"), reset moments, and that familiar YouTuber experience of trying to start a clean take after you've already started three times.

Those little outtakes make the whole series feel friendly instead of polished in a stiff way. Crochet videos are made by real people, in real rooms, with real yarn bits floating around. Seeing that messiness is comforting, especially if you're building confidence in your own crochet, or even thinking about starting a channel.

Conclusion: Add Lady Samoan to your crochet watch list

If your YouTube feed needs more color and more laughter, Lady Samoan is an easy "yes." Between amigurumi, hats, and a personality that stays upbeat, her channel feels like the kind of place you go when you want your hobby to feel light again.

Most importantly, that crochet Academy Awards idea is a reminder that finishing anything deserves a moment of pride. Put it on your calendar now: give yourself some credit for what you made this year, even if it's "just" a hat.

If you check out her channel, which project style do you hope to see first, plushies or hats?
