AlixaCrochet
Chain, slip stitch, single, half double, double and treble crochet.
Short, dense and firm. Insert the hook, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through both loops.
A soft, medium-height stitch. Yarn over first, pull up a loop, then pull through all three loops.
Tall and open, so it works up fast. The chain 3 at the start of a row usually counts as a stitch.
Alternate a single crochet and a chain for a woven texture that looks great in stripes.
Five double crochet in one stitch make a fan. The full guide has every stitch step by step.
