Crocheting is a simple type of needlework and you can learn its basic techniques very quickly. Crochet products are distinguished by their beauty, lightness and airiness.
It is necessary
- - a thread;
- - hook.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the most suitable crochet hook depending on what you will be knitting. They are plastic, metal and wood. If the yarn you are working with is thick or woolen, use larger crochet hooks. Metal thin hooks are most convenient to use when knitting lightweight openwork products. The hook should be one and a half to two times thicker than the thread.
Step 2
To form the first loop, take the thread, throw it over the index finger of your left hand, press the ends of the thread to the palm of your ring and middle fingers. Adjust the thread tension with your ring finger. Now take the hook, insert it under the thread on your index finger, then turn the hook to the left, forming a loop. While holding the loop, grab the thread with the crochet and pull it through the loop.
Step 3
Further, without dropping the resulting loop, grab the thread with a crochet and pull it through the loop, such a loop is called an air loop. After doing this operation several times in a row, you will get a chain of chain loops, knitted with one thread.
Step 4
Also, with the help of one thread, the edges of the product are often decorated, knitting half-columns and columns with and without crochets. So, to knit a half-double crochet, insert the hook into the loop of the previous row or into the second loop of the chain, grab the thread with the crochet and pull it through the loop of the chain or row on the hook.
Step 5
If you need to tie a double crochet, insert the hook into the loop of the previous chain or row, grab the thread and pull it out, forming a loop. Then, without lowering the previous loops, grab the thread with a hook, pulling it through the two existing loops.
Step 6
If you want to crochet a half-column with a crochet, make a yarn with a working thread, insert the hook into the loop, then grab the thread with the crochet, pull it out, forming a new loop, grab the thread again and pull it through the three loops on the hook.
