I’m managing to keep myself very busy while staying home and flattening the curve. Not everyone has as many craft supplies and hobbies as I do, so I thought this would be the perfect time to start making crochet how-to videos. This is the first step in learning to crochet. The crochet chain is the foundation for most crochet projects. Once you master the chain, stitches come next. Are you ready to learn to crochet?
Learning New Skills
I’m a homebody most of the time and enjoy being home. There are very few crafts I’ve met that I didn’t like. Some, I enjoy more than others.
Like crocheting.
My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 5 years old. She was actually trying to teach my older cousin, but I’m the one that ended up picking it up. Out of 10 cousins, I believe I am the only one who learned to crochet.
The funny thing is, my grandma was left handed. She taught me to crochet with my left hand. But at some point, I switched to the right hand (my dominant hand) and now can’t crochet any other way.
Crocheting has been a skill I’ve enjoyed for so many reasons. For years I have wanted to be able to teach people. So, while I’m attempting to teach you the skill of crocheting, I’m also learning how to navigate the world of YouTube and videos!
Getting Started
If you already have crochet supplies on hand, then you’re ready to start learning to crochet a chain.
If you want to learn but don’t have any yarn or crochet hooks on hand, please check out this post. Towards the end, I have included information and links for the supplies you will need.
Crochet Chain
With your yarn and crochet hook, let’s get started!
Remember, I’m learning to do instructional videos. Bear with me, but feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions or questions.
