How To Begin Any Crocheting Project

Learn the right way to start any crocheting project with this helpful and useful video. Learn the right way to start any crocheting project with this helpful and useful video.

Step 1: Crocheting.

All crocheting is started with a slipknot, putting the thread over your finger, and putting a loop through, then putting it onto your hook. Your yarn is over your hand, over your finger, and controlled by your small finger. To start, you need to do chains, either one chain, two chains or more, depending on what you're going to do.

Step 2: Method.

Putting your hook underneath your thread, and putting your loop through, and there's one chain. There's your second, third, and fourth. For this project, I am going to make a circle, putting my hook through the first chain, underneath my yarn and putting it through both hooks. Both loops -- oops, see? We gotta do that again. And pulling another chain. Then we're going to insert our hook into the center ring, pulling one loop through underneath our yarn and pulling through both loops.

Step 3: Done.

And this is a double crochet. Again, insert your hook into the center, pulling one loop through, and under the yarn, and pulling two loops through. OK.

    i do beleve she isent the best woman to do this as she keeps stuttering and haveing to re-think, and for teaching others it dosent give people much trust you know what your doing, also as for the comments of useing a bigger hock it would make it very lose and more confusing to follow as the yarn would fall losley and over its self. i do how ever agree these need to be re-done

    The camera focus needs to be sharper and a much larger crochet hook needs to be used and maybe coloured wool made from cotton as it is quiet smooth. Also, there are other stitches in crochet, and how to finish off, how to join pieces etc. Would like to learn myself.

    I have been trying (and failing) to learn crochet for a while now, it seems as though none of the tutorials are clear/ simple enough for complete beginners. As other people have said, I think a tutorial like the knitting ones would be a lot better recieved.

    Is it possible that this video could be re-done? I think it would be much better to have the camera closer to the hands and/or use a larger crochet needle so that the steps can be seen more clearly. The camera is definitely too far away and the demonstration is a little too quick for beginners. Please see the "How To Cast On" knitting video for a good example of how to film the hands.

    I'd love to learn crocheting. But it looks difficult to learn.

    it would be best if the shot was closer, and slower.
