Basic Crochet Stitches

If you've been bitten by handicraft bugs and want to learn crochet, there are some simple techniques and tricks you need to learn, such as knot knot and single crochet stitch, for starters. Once you successfully overcome this basic crochet stitch, you can start switching to some other fun stitches. These simple steps are what you need to follow to learn to crochet, but once you master it, everything else is just a variation of this. Listed below is a quick and easy step-by-step tutorial for all basic crochet and stitching techniques.

Follow the steps below and learn how to create a knot for your work to start. Then, depending on your pattern, you can follow our guide to crochet one crochet, double crochet seam or even a treble (or triple) crochet seam.

How to Crochet a Slip Knot:

• Hold the thread in U shape, allow 6-8 "yarn (" your tail ") to hang from the end.
• Rotate your finger to create a circle, making the strands of the thread cross each other.
• Insert your finger into the circle and grab the yarn that leads back to your yarn ball (not your tail), make a small circle again.
• Drag a tail that tightens a knot - you should now have a cinched node with one circle coming out from one end, and two strands of yarn (one of them is your tail) out of the other.
• Slip the loop into your crochet hook and pull both ends of the thread to make the circle firmer.

How It Works Foundation Chain:
• Create a knot node and place it on your hook. Hold your hook in your right hand.
• Using your hook, pull the thread (from the string thread, not your tail) through the loop of your slip node. You've just created a chain of stitches.
• Repeat step 2 to make as many chains as you like.
