How Do You Follow A Crochet Pattern?

0

Taking the step from learning the basic stitches of crochet to reading a pattern just takes a few simple steps. Before you know it, you’ll be searching out crochet patterns to find that perfect project. Make sure you have all the supplies called for in the pattern. There’s nothing worse than having to stop your work because you have to run out to get a forgotten supply. Check to see what your gauge is. Most crochet patterns call for a certain number of stitches to an inch or 4 inches. Crochet a small square (swatch) and measure your stitches. Adjust your hook or yarn accordingly if needed. Read the notes, abbreviations and special stitches. Most patterns are abbreviated so make sure you are familiar with the ones used. These can vary from pattern to pattern. Some patterns also have special stitches and notes included to help you understand the pattern better. Read them all. Start at the beginning and follow the pattern through to the end. Utilize any extra pictures that are included. K
