crocheting is all about following a set of instructions and creating a finished product. You need various supplies, including yarn,hooks, needles, and thread to crochet. In order to crochet, you first need to know what type of stitch you are using and what type of fabric or surface you will be working on. Crochet stitches are usually indicated by the letters “sc”, “st”, “md”, or “veil” followed by the number of the stitch in that order. For example, the sc2tog (single crochet two stitches together) stitch is used to join two squares together. Here is an overview of some basic crochet stitches:
• Single Crochet: This is the simplest form of crochet and can be used for just single pieces of fabric or paper. To make a single crochet stitch, insert your hook into the next hole on your work and pull up a loop. This will create a single crochet line.
• Double Crochet: Next, put your hook into one hole on your work and pull up a loop. Then put your hook into the other hole and pull up a loop. You now have two loops on your hook- one from each side of the previous row/column (i.e., if there was once only one row/column represented in the image below it would have been written as "sc"), which makes it double crochet .
• Triple Crochet: Finally, put your hooks into three different holes on your work (i.e., if there were once only three rows/columns represented in the image below it would have been written as "sc3tog", "st3tog", and "md3tog"). Now instead of just pulling up two loops at a time like with regularCrochet you'll need to tug both loops at once which will create an extra row/column called a tricolorCrochetedStitch .
In addition to these basic stitches there are many others that can be made by changing how we proceed with our ordinary crocheting technique- for more information on these see our comprehensive tutorial HERE!
