Things You'll Need:
- Two size G aluminum crochet hooks
- Two skeins of 4-ply worsted weight (ordinary) yarn in a contrasting color from the hook
- A mirror that will fit across the teacher's lap, about 18 by 12 inches
-
Step 1
Place the mirror across the teacher's lap, tucked under her arms. Her hands and hook and yarn should be right in front of the mirror, about 8 to 10 inches away.
-
Step 2
The student should sit directly across from the teacher, with a clear view of the mirror.
-
Step 3
The teacher then demonstrates all the stitches, starting with making a chain, and progressing in difficulty.
-
Step 4
The student should never look at the teacher's hands. Look only at the mirror, where it will appear that a left-handed person is crocheting. The student only needs to do exactly what she sees in the mirror.
