Crochet Stitches

Learn the small vocabulary that most crochet projects are built from.

Beginners do not need every decorative stitch. They need a few foundational stitches, the ability to recognise them and enough repetition to keep the tension more consistent.

The chain and slip stitch

Chains are often the starting structure. Slip stitches help with joining, moving position and finishing.

Single, half double and double crochet

These stitches create different heights and textures. Together they cover a large amount of beginner and intermediate work.

Learn the shape, not just the name

When you can recognise a stitch in the fabric, counting rows and spotting mistakes becomes much easier.

Learn it properly, from the very first stitch.

Crochet Foundations starts where you actually are and stays with you until you have finished something you want to keep.
