HOW TO CROCHET

Crocheting is a wonderful craft that allows you to create a variety of items, from scarves and blankets to amigurumi and more. Here's a basic guide on how to crochet, starting with the essential techniques and stitches:

Materials Needed:

1. Yarn: Choose a yarn that suits your project. Yarn comes in different weights and fibers.
2. Crochet Hook: Select a crochet hook size appropriate for your yarn. The recommended hook size is often listed on the yarn label.

Basic Crochet Stitches:

1. Slip Knot:

• Start by making a slip knot. Place the yarn over your fingers, leaving a tail. Cross the yarn over and pull the end through the loop to create a slip knot.

2. Foundation Chain:

• Make a foundation chain by chaining stitches. Hold the slip knot and yarn, then yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook. Repeat until you have the desired number of chains.
