INSIDE Crochet | how to crochet 2 Part 1 step 1: Make a loop in the yarn.


Getting started… the sliP knot 3 2


step 2: With your crochet hook, catch the ball working end of the yarn and draw through loop.


step 3: Pull firmly on yarn and hook to tighten knot and create first loop.


Slip stitch (sl st) is used to join one stitch to another or to join a stitch to another point.


Making a chain


To count the stitches, use the right side of the chain, or the one that has more visible and less twisted ‘v’ shapes. Each ‘v’ is one chain. Do not count the slip knot as the first stitch, but remember to count the loop on the hook.


step 1: To make a chain, hold the tail end of yarn and bring the yarn over hook by passing hook in front of the yarn, under and around it.


1 sliP stitch (sl st)


Slip stitch is used to join one stitch to another or to join a stitch to another point. It is usually made by picking up two strands of a stitch. Where sl st is used all over, you execute it in the same way, but only pick up the back loop.


step 2: Keeping the yarn taut, draw the hook and yarn through the loop on hook. Pull it through.


step 3: Ensuring the stitches are fairly loose, repeat to make number of chains required.


Insert the hook into the back loop of the next stitch and pass yarn over hook, as in chain stitch. Then draw yarn through both loops on stitch and repeat to end.
