Practising those Stitches

It's good to learn to know different stitches other than the Single Crochet. There are some really nice easy ones out there too!

You know what is even better? Learning their names too!
Ones I recommend to use:

  • Half Double Crochet
  • Double Crochet
  • Treble Crochet



Here is a great website that tells you about them

These stitches are really nice, simple and effective too. And if you want to be quite progressive with your crocheting they can be quicker than just the standard Single Crochet.  Not only this of course you can experiment with different looks and styles!



This video demonstrates the double crochet stitch. Youtube is a powerful tool to be able to find those videos that are helpful to learn and to recap the stitch if you forget! It's like having your own personal teacher. But... you control when they talk and shut them up if they're boring!

So that scarf you made with just a Single Crochet Stitch? Try it with the other basic stitches.


You must stick around this blog as soon I'm going to show you my FIRST EVER PROJECT! :)


Small plug - Go and visit neighbourly blog The Amazing World of Science - so educational, and if you are really into science you will definitely learn something new!
