Basic instructions about crochet

     Crochet is a needlework technique performed using a crochet hook plus fiber or other similar material. Most typically, this material is yarn or crochet thread, but it might also be fabric, wire, twine, or other innovative material.

Chain stitch –Ch- once you have a loop already on your hook, you will yarn over, then draw that through the existing loop. This will create a new loop on your hook, and the old one will drop off. This stitch is most often used either at the beginning of your work, as a foundation row, to start a new row, or in delicate crochet to form lacy holes or filet.
