Crochet is becoming more and more popular. And all because learning to knit with a crochet hook is much easier than knitting. A simple scarf or jacket, socks or sweater, napkins and lace, as well as toys and jewelry - you can crochet almost anything. There are several types of knitting. For simple knitting, a short hook is used; for fork knitting, both a hook and a special fork are needed. Tunisian knitting uses a long crochet hook. There is also a type of knitting in which individual motives are combined into one product. This knitting is called Irish lace.

Instructions
Step 1
For crocheting, both thin and thick threads are suitable. Choose a crochet hook according to the thickness of the yarn. To knit products from thick yarn, a hook from 3 to 6 mm is suitable. For thin threads such as iris, floss, garus, use a hook from 1.5 to 2.5 mm in diameter. There is a rule for determining the hook number for the job. The thickness of the hook should be 2 times the thickness of the thread. However, this rule may not be followed if you want to achieve different effects. If you knit with a thick crochet of thin threads, then the knitted fabric will turn out to be openwork. And, conversely, you get tight knitting if you knit a cloth from thin threads with a thin crochet.
Step 2
You can crochet in two ways: flat and circular. For a flat knit, knit back and forth. With this type of knitting, the front and seamy sides of the product will be the same. You can also only knit forward. Then, at the end of each row, the thread should be cut off and fastened. In circular knitting, products are knitted in a circle.
Step 3
The hook should be held in the working hand with the thumb and forefinger, resting on the third finger. And hold the working thread with the thumb and forefinger of your other hand. Make the first loop by simply tying it with a string. Insert the hook into the loop. Throw the thread onto the hook and pull the thread through it. Thus, all the main loops are knitted: air, half-crochet, double crochet and single crochet.
Step 4
Use air loops to make a knitting base. Tie a chain of stitches and continue knitting. Also, these loops are used to climb to the next row. To make a single crochet, you need to insert the hook into the loop, then make a yarn over the hook and pull it through the loop. Yarn over the crochet again and pull through both loops on the crochet. Knit the next column on the next loop of the chain.
Step 5
A loop called a half crochet is higher than a single crochet, but smaller than a double crochet. First make a yarn over the crochet, then insert the crochet into the next loop. Pull out the working thread. Then make another yarn counterclockwise and pull the thread through the three loops on the crochet hook. Based on these loops, you can make a variety of crochet elements. For example, a lump, a leaf, a half-ring and a ring, and others.
