Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a written tutorial with photos on how to make the 4 most basic crochet stitches, for beginners!

 

 

First, with any project you'll need a crochet hook and yarn. Any yarn or hook will do for learning to make these stitches

 

For this tutorial you'll need to know how to make Chains (CH), I have a tutorial here!

 

I will now go over the 4 most basic crochet stitches:

 

The Single Crochet Stitch

 

The Half Double Crochet Stitch

 

The Double Crochet Stitch

 

and The Triple Crochet Stitch

 

 

 

We're starting with the Single Crochet Stitch (SC)

 

Make 1 CH to start your row, This 1 CH is the same height as the SC

 

 

*To start our SC: Insert your hook into the next Stitch, grab that yarn you're working with and pull it through that Stitch, pulling up 1 loop on your hook

 

You'll have 2 loops on your hook now

 

 

Yarn over your hook 1 time

 

 

Take that yarn through both loops on your hook

 

to complete that Single Crochet Stitch

 

 

 

 

You'll now repeat the steps above from * for the rest of your row

 

 

And that's how the Single Crochet Stitch is looking

 

I have a individual tutorial for this stitch here!

 

 

 

 

Next we are making the Half Double Crochet Stitch (HDC)

 

Make 2 CHs to start your row, These 2 CHs are the same height as the HDC

 

 

*To start our HDC: Yarn over your hook 1 time

 

 

Insert your hook into the next Stitch, grab that yarn you're working with and pull it through that Stitch, pulling up 1 loop on your hook

 

You'll have 3 loops on your hook now

 

 

Yarn over your hook 1 time

 

 

Take your yarn through all 3 loops on your hook to complete that HDC Stitch

 

 

 

 

You'll now repeat the steps above from * for the rest of your row

 

 

And that's how the Half Double Crochet Stitch is looking

 

I have a individual tutorial for this stitch here!

 

 

 

 

Next we are making the Double Crochet Stitch (DC)

 

Make 3 CHs to start your row, These 3 CHs are the same height as the DC

 

 

*To start our DC: Yarn over your hook 1 time

 

 

Insert your hook into the next Stitch, grab that yarn you're working with and pull it through that Stitch, pulling up 1 loop on your hook

 

You'll have 3 loops on your hook now

 

 

Yarn over your hook 1 time

 

 

Take that yarn through 2 loops only

 

This is the bottom of the DC made

 

You'll have 2 loops left on your hook

 

 

Yarn over your hook 1 time

 

 

Take that yarn through the last 2 loops left on your hook to complete that DC Stitch

 

 

 

 

You'll now repeat the steps above from * for the rest of your row

 

 

And that's how the Double Crochet Stitch is looking

 

I have a individual tutorial for this stitch here!

 

 

 

 

And last, we are making the Triple Crochet Stitch (TR)

 

Make 4 CHs to start your row, These 4 CHs are the same height as the TR
