Troubleshooting: My stitches are too tight

I've been practicing my crochet skills, but I'm struggling with my stitches being too tight. It makes it difficult to insert the hook and my pieces end up looking smaller than intended. Does anyone have tips on how to loosen my tension or improve my technique? I'd really appreciate any advice or exercises that might help. Thank you for your support!

    Try using a larger hook size; it might help in loosening your stitches.

    Try using a larger hook size or consciously relaxing your grip to ease tension. Good luck!
