To crochet, you need a hook and yarn. Beautiful textured and raised stitches are especially easy to make in crochet. You can also crochet with fine threads to create lacy projects like doilies or even string or cord.
You start by making a slip stitch, wrapping the yarn around the hook and pulling a loop through the slip stitch. This is the basic chain stitch. A series of chains creates a foundation row and from this base you build rows of stitches.
Crocheting can use up to 30% more yarn than a similar knitting project and typically produces a heavier fabric that stretches.
