Interested in learning how to crochet? Check out these videos that show you how

The following videos go through the steps on how to crochet and some of the basics stitches known as slip stitch and double crochet. It teaches you how to create a foundation chain which is the starting point for any project. You can create an entire blanket or scarf using these basic stitches. In fact, I would practice crocheting with the slip stitch to help me get a good grasp of the skill, and then once I got comfortable with it I started with the double crochet. These are short videos, but do check them out or refer to a family friend if they are interested in learning how to crochet. These are similar to a CD I have called, “Crochet Made Easy” which has taught me how to crochet the basics.
