Learn the basics of crochet This lesson is for thosewho decided to master the art of crocheting. You will learn the basic methods of crocheting, how to hold the hook in your hands. Having studied the basics of crocheting, you can try to knit something simple, for example, a scarf or a hat, a napkin or a potholder. 1. First, you need to learn how to hold the hook in your hands. There are two methods. The first method is called a pencil, that is, you hold the hook in the same way as a pen or pencil. The second method is called a knife, that is, we take the hook like a knife. The tip of the crochet hook should be tilted slightly downwards. Which method is more convenient for you, choose for yourself. 2. Air loop A pigtail of air loops serves as the beginning of any product that is crocheted. Step 1. At the very beginning, you should create a knot called a sliding knot. Create a loop of threads and put it on the hook. Hook the thread and pull it out together with the hook. You will get a knot and a loop on the crochet hook. Tighten the knot by pulling the two threads of yarn. Step 2. Take the hook in your right hand and the working thread in your left. Hook the thread with the hook, directing it towards you, and pull the thread with the hook through the loop (photo 3).Step 3. Repeat step 2 until the braid of loops reaches the desired length (Photo 4).
Having finished the braid, we cut the working thread like this:so that a tail remains. Pull the tail out of the last loop of the braid and tighten. 3. Single crochet (loop) Single crochet is used to decorate the edge of items knitted with a crochet hook or knitting needles. The edges are dense and do not stick out. Step 1. Insert the hook into the base loop. Hook the working thread with the hook and pull it towards you, hook the thread again and pull it through the loop formed on the hook (Photo 5).
Step 2. Insert the hook into the next base loop (Photo 6), hook the working thread and pull the thread with the hook towards you. There are now two loops on the hook.
Step 3. Again, we hook the thread and pull it through the two resulting loops. There will be one loop on the hook (Photo 7).
Step 4.Repeat the same way until you have knitted the required number of loops. 4. Double crochet Such loops are knitted on top of a braid of air loops or from the previous row of single crochet loops, or along the edge of a knitted or crocheted item. Step 1. Insert the hook into the base loop, hook the thread, pulling it toward you. Hook the thread again, pulling it into the resulting loop. Throw the working thread onto the hook and insert it into the next base loop (photo 8), hook the thread, pulling it toward you. You get three loops on the hook.
Step 2. Hook the working thread, pulling it through the first two columns (Photo 9). Hook the thread again and pass it through the remaining two loops (Photo 10).
The loop with one yarn over is completed and there is one loop on the hook (Photo 11).
Step 3.Place the thread on the hook and insert it into the next base loop. Hook the thread, pulling it out towards you. You now have three loops on the hook. Hook the working thread again, pass it through the initial two loops. Hook the thread again, pulling it through the last two loops. You now have a second double crochet. There is one loop on the hook again. Thus, knit the required number of double crochets. To complete the outer loop, cut the thread, pull it out of the loop, and tighten. We wish you good luck in your endeavors!
