Master the Basics: Learn to Crochet!

Get Started!

• Yarn: Choose bulky or worsted weight yarn for beginners. It's thicker and easier to see and handle.
  Crochet Hook: Select a hook size appropriate for your chosen yarn weight. The size will be indicated on the yarn label.
• Scissors: You'll need scissors to cut yarn.

Basic Stitches:

These are the building blocks of crochet!

• Slip Stitch (Sl st): A basic connecting stitch used to join ends or work in rows.
   

• Chain (Ch): Creates a foundation row or space for stitches. The number of chains determines the width of your project.

• Single Crochet (Sc): The most fundamental stitch in crochet. It creates a basic, flat fabric. 

Turning Your Work:

• Chain 2 (Ch 2): When starting a new row, chain 2 to create space for the first stitch (which acts as a turning chain).

Changing Colors:

• Weave in the End: Before switching colors, weave the end of the old color into the back loops of your stitches to secure it.

• Tie a New Color: Tie a square knot with the new yarn and the working yarn to join them securely.
