New skill? It’s so easy to grasp. Your dominant hand holds the
hook – like a pencil or an artist’s paintbrush, whichever is more
comfortable. With your other hand, you ‘feed’ the yarn and control the
tension by holding the yarn between the pads of the thumb and the
forefinger. Most crochet pattern begin with the slip know and chain –
it’s much like casting on in knitting. Generally, you crochet by
inserting the hook under the top two loops. At the end of each row, you
make a turning chain(s) – the number of turning chain(s) varies with
the stitch.
- Begin to crochet by making a
slip knot. Make a loop several inches or centimeters from the end of
the yarn. Insert the hook through the loop and catch the tail with the
end. Pull the yarn through the loop on the hook.
