Not only will it allow you to have the satisfaction of finishing projects a little quicker, it will also enable you to expand the possibilities of pattern making. Crochet does tend to use more yarn when compared to a similar knitting project, but it will take a less time as well. This is partly because you are only using one hook as opposed to trying to juggle two needles. It is a great technique for adding embellishments&nbsp;and lace details quickly and easily.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Crochet is easy to learn and the basic chain stitch is the foundation of every crochet pattern. It consists of making a series of small interlocking loops, similar to a cast on row, but hanging loose instead of being put onto another needle.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Here are some instructions to help you get started.<\/p>\n<p>Step 1: Take a length of yarn from your yarn ball and make a slip knot<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Tip: Make sure to leave a little extra yarn on the tail so you can easily weave in the end later.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Take the yarn connected to the yarn ball in your non-dominant hand.<\/p>\n<p>You may want to weave it through you fingers so you can better control its tension as you go.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: With you hook facing up, wrap the yarn over the top of you hook.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Pull the yarn through the slip knot with the crochet hook.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have the number of stitches you want.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the stitch on the hook does not count.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crochet is easy to learn and the basic chain stitch is the foundation of every crochet pattern.
