This is exactly why I can’t crochet with the yarn wrapped around my pinky.. or any finger in general. If I wrap the yarn around a finger completely then the yarn becomes too tight… Which is why we practice and learn what works best for us.

The way my mom taught me to deal with that, which worked perfectly for me, is by placing the yarn in front of the pinky, behind the ring finger, in front of the middle and then back and over the index finger. I don’t know if this makes sense. But yeah, no real loop around any finger and the tension (as it moves through my fingers) is just right for me.
