Watch this video until you’ve mastered this step. It is essential to build on everything else. This is the hardest part of the learning process. It takes practise so keep trying until you’re comfortable with your grip and yarn hold.
For my learn to crochet series I will be using Super Bulky weight #6 yarn and a 9mm crochet hook. You can use any hook and yarn weight but I feel learning with a larger hook and weight yarn is easier. Today’s Lesson uses the colour Yukon Gold!
