Learn to Crochet Part 1 (Knowing the Basics)
Getting Started
1. Tools and Materials
a. Size G hook
b. Hook Gauge
c. Stitch Markers
d. Worsted weight yarn
e. Scissors
2. Holding the Hook
a. Pencil grip
b. Knife grip
3. Slip Knot

b. Keep hand relaxed
c. Hold tail of yarn on the hook
d. Tension is important
4. How to Wrap Yarn for Tension
a. This is how I do it
b. Experiment with different techniques to determine what works best for you.
5. Yarn Over (yo)
a. Stitches rely on correct yarn over technique…so while in the future you will encounter stitches that will suggest or require you to bring the yarn to the front of the hook and over the back side (this technique is called Yarn Under (yu), but for now it is important to remember that Yarn Over means for you to wrap the yarn over from the back of the hook to
b. the front of hook.
6. Making a Chain (ch)
a. Beginning a chain starts with a (yo). Catch the yarn and then pull through the loop on the hook. One chain is made each time you do this.
b. For Practice, continue to crochet chains until your stitches are even…not too loose or too tight for your hook size.
7. How to Count Chain (ch) Stitches
a. To count a chain, you must begin at the first chain from the hook.
b. The front of the chain is shaped like a “v”
c. The back of the chain has a ridge running down the length of the chain.
d. You can count the “v” down the front or the ridges down the back.
e. The loop on the hook or the slip knot at the beginning are never counted as a chain
f. Try using a stitch marker every 10th chain (ch) to help keep track of your count particularly if you are making a long chain.
