What Type of Yarn or Thread Should You Use  The Importance of Gauge  Common Abbreviations | Complicated abbreviations will be explained as we get to them It should be noted that YOH is the first movement in crochet and forms an important part of every stitch. An asterisk * means to repeat directions following the * as many extra times specified. Repeat instructions in parenthesis as many times as specified. For example: (5ch, dc into next dc) 5 times, means to make all that inside the parentheses 5 times. Multiple means the number of stitched necessary to complete one pattern stitch. If the pattern is 4 sts, the number of chains should be evening divisible by 4. If the pattern reads “multiple of 4 sts plus 1” then an extra chain stitch is required in addition to the multiple of 4. How to Start The beginning of crochet is to make a slip stitch in the yarn or thread and place it on the hook. 1. To Make a Slip Loop – Wrap yarn/thread around first and second fingers on left hand. Insert hook under front loop and draw the back loo loop through to form a new loop, slipping of off your fingers and transferring it to the hook. Pull the loop tight. 2. Holding Hook 3. Chain Stitch Hold the stitch you have made between thumb and first finger of left hand. 4. Repeat Step 3 5. Fasten Off – Cut yarn/thread about 6 inches from work. Thread loose end through the one remaining loop on hook and pull it tightly. Here’s a video of the beginning crochet process.
