How do you Crocheting?

Answer 1

Check your local library, or community center to see if they offer classes. Also check your local yarn shop. You might consider going to a used book store. They always have books that give step by step instructions. Dont' give up. The more you practice, the easier it will become.

It would also be helpful to find someone who knows how to crochet. I learned going to a senior citizen home. Now I can do so many new things. Watching someone else do it helps alot.

See links below for additional help.

There is not one answer to this question as there are many different types of crochet. It also depends on whether you intend to make a straight piece or a round piece. YouTube is a great resource for learning how to begin the process.

Before beginning you will need to get supplies. You will need a crochet hook. You will eventually have a preference as to size and type of hook, but for beginning you might consider getting a mid-size hook, perhaps an I or J. You will also need yarn - a light color, medium weight, is best for learning. If you get a chunky yarn, be sure to get a hook size appropriate for the yarn. Suggested hook should be listed right on the yarn label. Keep in mind that some yarns contain wool - if you are allergic, check the material on the label.

You will also need a good pair of scissors and a yarn needle. I like the #16, but that is a personal choice. If you are following a pattern, you may need a ruler to check gauge.

Generally speaking, you first make a slip knot over the hook. Then yarn over and pull through the slip knot. if you keep repeating this process, you will begin to do the chain stitch. When you have enough chains, you will then work your pattern using different stitches, keeping your string tense but easy to loop. There are too many different stitches to cover here but if you find a class or a knowledgeable crocheter in your area, or a good book or video, that should help you proceed to the next step.
