Steps
-
Since you are left-handed, you will need to reverse the patterns as many crochet patterns are for right-handed people.
-
Start with chain stitch, single, double etc. for square items, such as afghans, pot holders, etc.Doilies are also started with the chain stitch.
-
Place a loop wide enough to fit the hook through, insert it with your preferred hand. Use your other hand to hold the yarn you will add to the project.
-
Place a piece of yarn on top of the hook after you've threaded everything through the main loop. The hook should be facing up when you start and then place the thread over the needle.Turn the hook down without dropping the added piece of yarn and pull it through the starting loop.
-
Practice for 10-15 minutes a day until you can also keep the thread neither too loose nor too tight. If you stick to chain stitch and nothing else, you will be able to make necklaces, belts, key rings, shoelaces, hair bows, etc.
-
Learn to read patterns, change colors etc. Remember, starting is the true principle of learning to use crochet, the first step is the one in which you will learn to read the patterns, then the one in which you will learn to make pot holders, doilies etc.
-
Give yourself some time;your pot holders will evolve into the same size and length (gauge), the step will be to learn how to put them together to make an afghan, blanket etc.Advertising
Advice
- Don't try patterns that are complicated or require lots of colors until you've learned how to hold the yarn and hook correctly.Be careful at first not to drop stitches, which is something to expect when starting out with crochet, or any other knitting project.

Warnings

Things you will need
- At least 3 skeins (balls, standard crochet hook, yarn needles, foldable travel or camping scissors, a waterproof bag to carry everything you need, vintage bag to hold the threads).Two sets of instructions, one for safekeeping and one for travel.It's a good idea to make photocopies and put them in a ring container, writing down the name of the project, the date, the money spent and a small piece of yarn to remind you of the dye color, in case you run out of something.
