Pull score
3/5

How hard it moved viewers to save, share, and comment.

Why this qualified

Running 593x the account's own baseline, this post reached 700K views against the 1.2K a normal post there sees. That is the whole test for an outlier in Handler - reach measured against the account's own median rather than against other accounts, so a small account with a genuine breakout still qualifies while a big account coasting on its size does not.

Where reach gets a post seen, Pull - here 3/5, 4.2% weighted - is what says viewers acted on it, since saves and shares weigh in hardest and a save is the clearest sign a viewer means to come back.

The counts behind those scores: 27K likes, 371 comments, 97 shares, and 453 saves. Saves and shares are weighted heaviest because they are the actions that carry a post into more feeds.

The full breakdown - why the hook works, the comment-intent read, and the ready-to-shoot dupe kit - lives inside Handler.

Anatomy

The video opens silently with handheld user-generated footage running for about 23 seconds without any voiceover. It relies on silent on-screen text overlays to deliver its narrative beat by beat. The clip progresses through roughly three to four distinct scenes at a measured pace, combining close-up physical demonstrations with visual references to a crochet pattern. Text overlays appear consistently in the center of the screen, shifting with each cut to contextualize the visual elements. The craft subject and pattern details remain the central focus throughout the entire runtime.
