15 Day Beginner Course : Day 1

So let’s start a new journey – Introduction to Crochet. This is not just a process of learning a skill… it’s a way of meeting those moments where everything becomes a little slow, a little soft.” “We call these moments Crochet Hours – when thread, hook and your hands come together to create a story. Stress is reduced, heart feels lighter, and you come closer to yourself with each stitch.” “So that’s it… pick up the yarn, take a deep breath, and let’s keep knitting – not just a design, but a new feeling too.”

Come on! Let’s get to know crochet a little more closely today

What is Crochet? – a short introduction to crochet

Crochet is an art in which we make fabric from yarn. A special hook is used for making fabric from yarn which is called crochet Hook.

History

The history of crochet dates back to the 19th century, but some forms of it have been seen in different cultures even before that. It was first popularized in Europe, where women used it as a hobby and a means of livelihood.

How does crochet work?

“In an Introduction to Crochet, you’ll learn how yarn is pulled from one loop to another using a crochet hook. By repeating this process, we create multiple rows — and that’s where the magic begins.

We need some things to crochet like yarn, hook, scissors, sewing needle. Along with this, some necessary accessories like if you are making bags then you need zipper, bag handles etc.

How is it different from knitting?

You might have seen your grandmother knitting sweaters. She has needles in both her hands and she is working on many loops in those needles. This is exactly how knitting is done. My aunt also used to knit. But there is a difference between crochet and knitting that in crochet only work is done on one needle i.e. crochet hooks. In this only one loop is active at a time. If any mistake occurs then it is easy to correct it by opening the fabric.

What things can be made from crochet?

Not only fabric but many other things can be made from crochet like amigurumi, clothes, winter wear, bags, scarves, blankets, baby clothes, baby booties, home decor items and many more

Is crochet easy or difficult?

Crocheting is both easy and difficult. An Introduction to Crochet might seem confusing at first, but that’s completely normal. Initially everything is difficult, and it remains difficult till we learn how to do it. For someone crocheting is easy when she does it thinking that it is very easy for me. But on the contrary if she does it thinking that it is beyond my capacity then she cannot do it at all. Be it crochet or any other skill the most important thing is practice. It is said that practice makes a man perfect.

Can we give children an introduction to crochet?

Yes, absolutely, even kids can do this easily. In fact, I had my own Introduction to Crochet when I was a child. To be honest, I like kids a lot. Their innocence, their passion for learning, their curiosity is what make them different from adults like us.

How many days does it take to learn crochet?

There is no fixed time for this. It completely depends on the learner. Some learn basic stitches very quickly while others find it difficult to learn even chain stitch.
