Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• “Worsted-weight yarn”, of any color or a combination of colors
• Crochet hook, size G
• Yarn needle having a big eye
• Small scissors

1. Begin by holding the crochet hook with your right hand allowing the forefingers to bend the hook of the loop. You may then make your next step by pulling through the knot on the center of the hook.
2. You may slide the loop of the hooked thread to create a slipknot on the hook. You must simultaneously repeat the same process in order to create the chained stitches needed to have a quality made crochet product. The thickness of the chains should just be appropriate on the type of product that is being made.
3. Bringing back the thread or yarn on the top of the loop making the thread to go around the hook so that it will be double stitched. You may use your forefinger to grab the knot to tighten the chain stitches of the crochet.
4. You may skip the first double stitched chain to proceed on the knot that is not properly hooked on the knot of the loop. Make sure that the chains do not loosen and the strands should be properly aligned with the other threads. It is much better to have a tighter knot on the chains of the crochet to make the product sturdier.
5. Position the hook center to the next hole of the second double stitch chain. After getting through the hole, slide the thread passing into the center of the third double stitch chain that will go on the upper part of the loop. You have now created two loops on the double stitch chain. This will make the loops tighter and stronger.
6. Return from the first chain bringing back the hook from back to the front and slowly slide the needle to make a knot on the center hole of the first chain. The hook must be carefully pushed through the middle to create a knot from the first loop.
7. Returning from the third loop, you may create another extra chain stitch to make a reversed counter clockwise loop. This is for the purpose of retaining the knot to support the double stitched chains. Start from the first step to create new chains in a new row and create the similar loops alike from the previous rows.
8. You can then create a single crochet stitch on the first loop tightening the next loops of the double stitch chains on the previous rows. You must create an exact replica of the loops if possible to ensure that the following double stitch chains will have similar results with the first made loops. Do not forget to make knot ensuring that all stitches will be intact and will be on their proper places.
