Crochet Techniques

Learning how to crochet is more than figuring out what stitch to use — there are some techniques to know that will help along the way. You will thank yourself for mastering these crochet fundamentals, no matter if you are crocheting a gift or just crocheting for fun. When you’re starting a new crochet project, you might need to crochet a magic ring or a flat circle. In many crochet patterns, you need to know how to change colors, or how to join shapes like a granny square or a hexagon. After you’ve finished the last stitch, be sure to weave in the ends and block your finished work. Here is where you can also find free tutorials on how to try specific crochet techniques, like corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet, Tunisian crochet, and tapestry crochet.
