Crochet 101: Simple Flower

 Welcome back to Crochet 101, friends!  Today I have a small and simple project for you that I think you're going to like.  It combines four stitches you already know: chain, single crochet, double crochet, and slip stitch.

Crochet 101: Granny Square

Welcome back to Crochet 101!  Today, we're going to learn a new project, a simple {promise!} Granny Square.

Crochet 101: The V-Stitch

Hey, friends!  Time for another installment of Crochet 101!  Grab those hooks and some yarn and let's learn a new stitch!

Today, we're going to be learning a decorative stitch, called the "V-Stitch." It's easy-peasy to do, because it's just combining two things you already know how to do: a double crochet and a chain stitch!  {If you missed those tutorials, hop on over and check them out first, or grab the free e-book!} It also goes quickly, and it creates an open, lacy look that I think you're going to like!  

Crochet 101: Single Crochet

Welcome to Part 3 of Crochet 101!  If you missed the previous posts, you'll want to start there first:

1. Materials and Slip Knots
2. Chain Stitch

Today, we're going to learn how to do another type of stitch, called a Single Crochet.  When reading a crochet pattern, single crochet is abbreviated "sc".  In order to make a single crochet, you have to have a foundation first, like a chain or a row of another kind of stitch.  Since what we know how to do is chain, that's going to be our foundation!

Crochet 101: Chain Stitch

Hi, friends, and welcome back to Crochet 101!  Yesterday, we talked about the materials you need, how to hold your yarn and hook, and how to make a slip knot to begin your project.  The next step from here is to learn the most basic stitch, the Chain Stitch.

When reading a crochet pattern, a chain stitch is abbreviated ch.  Most patterns begin with a series of chain stitches.  For a small project, like the one I'll be giving you on Monday, you will ch 10 to begin.  A large project, like a full size afghan may require you to ch 150.  

Here's how you do it.  First, you have to begin {as always} with the slip knot we learned.  Here's a quick review.
