Learning to Crochet

Video #1: Chain Stitch

Do you want to learn to crochet too? I can teach you! 

Start with some yarn (worsted weight is nice), a crochet hook (size G, H, or I is good to start with), and this video.

We start with a chain. It is the base stitch for ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PROJECT. It is also the most difficult to get right. Tension is everything. If the chain is too tight, you can't get your hook into for the next row. If the chain is too loose, your work may look sloppy. So practice practice practice. 

Did you know that other countries have different names for their stitches? All of my blogs and videos use US stitch names, but don't worry, I try to refer to the UK stitch name as well. This US Chain Stitch is called the Slip Stitch in the UK.

Ready, set, yarn over!
