There are many more than 10 crochet stitches. Your basic stitches are chain, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and triple crochet. With those stitches you can make many items.

In addition, there are as many special stitches as there are crochet designers. Often the same stitch can be found under many different names as well. For example, the reverse single crochet is also called the crab stitch and corded edge.

Do you need knitting needles to crochet?

No, you can only crochet with a crochet hook. Answer Crochet is done with crochet hooks (they come in many sizes) not knitting neeldes. But you can also use your fingers (finger crochet) or there is also some thing called Knooking which uses a tool that has a crochet hook on one end and a knitting needle point on the other.


How do you crochet wrist warmers?

First, you need to make a chain of 24 stitches. (or however many looks like a good fit by putting the chain around your wrist) I always chain loosely, making it easier to work back in the stitches later. Chain 1 and turn. Next, working in the back bumps of the chain, single crochet in all the stitches across. (A teacher showed me that working in the bumps on the back of the chain, gives you a finished edge on the end of the piece.) Chain 1 and turn. Then, double crochet in all of the stitches across. (I like using double crochet for this piece. It's a longer stitch, so it gives a little wiggle room in the warmers, but not too much where all the cold air would come in.) Chain 1 and turn. Make 11 rows of double crochets, chaining 1 and turning at the end of each row. (Add more rows if you want it to go further down your wrist. I suggest making the one for your other hand now, just to make sure they are the same. Then finish them at the same time. After the 11th row of double crochets, chain1 and turn. Single crochet in all the stitches across, again creating the finished edge. Chain 1, then cut the piece free, making sure to leave a tail to sew in later. You should now have a rectangle piece, that can be wrapped around your hand.
