How-to

This is for beginners or for a quick reminder on how to crochet different kinds of stitches.


Crochet Stitches

Chain Stitch: The chain is the simplest and the first stitch you learn when you learn how to crochet. You use it to start almost every project. The abbreviation for chain is ch. Here is how you do chain stitch:

• Tie a slip knot on your hook (like you would do to start any crochet project)
• Yarn over and pull the yarn that you "yarned over" through the slip knot
• Yarn over again, and pull the yarn through the loop on your hook
• Repeat until you've reached the desired length
