There are a few basic Tunisian crochet stitches that a beginner should learn to gain mastery in the technique. This guide introduces you to those basic stitches, which include Tunisian Simple ...

Worked from one corner to the opposite outside edge, a mitered square is perfect for those occasions when you need the end result to be a square, but you don't know how far your yarn will go - or you're simply unsure at what point you'll get tired of working on it and decide that it's 'big enough.'

No crochet project is complete without crochet edging. As you probably know, crochet edging is a finishing technique, often in the form of a crochet border that gives your design a polished, complete look. Crochet edging can elevate a design or affect the entire style of your project. Edging can range from wide to narrow, straight to ruffled, and everything in between. Adding a ruffled edge to a shirt cuff, a nice border to a blanket or pillow, or finishing a garment collar are all common ways that edging...

The moss stitch is a beautiful beginner-friendly crochet stitch. If I had to choose a favorite stitch, the moss stitch would definitely be at the top of the list. The moss stitch in crochet is a combination of stitches made by switching between single crochets and chains. It is a nice pattern that you can easily learn once you’ve mastered single crochet, chains, and skipping chains/stitches. The almost mesh pattern in the moss stitch leaves the fabric with a beautiful drape while still looking solid. If y...

In my opinion, being an experienced crocheter is not about making perfectly stitched, elaborate, artful creations. It is rather a matter of confidence. You need to be sure of what you are doing and how to do it, and then have the confidence to figure out what to do if things aren’t going quite right. Understanding why you do certain things and why they turn out the way they do increases confidence and leads to successful crocheting.

Once you’ve mastered crochet shapes, the final part is to join your crochet shapes together! Fortunately there are different methods, using either a yarn needle or a crochet hook, and all of which have their own individual qualities. To join pieces of crochet, it’s often simplest to stitch them together, but you can also use a crochet hook as well. You’ll get the least visible seam using slip stitch to join pieces. Double crochet forms a ridge at the seam which can make a feature on the right side. When yo...
