Key ideas in Crocheting Flowers and Hearts
- The top of a finished crochet stitch looks like a sideways 'V'
- Standard stitches anchor underneath both loops of that sideways 'V'
- Working through only one loop creates loose, uneven fabric unless a pattern specifically asks for it
- A yarn over moves the hook under and catches the yarn from back to front
- Twisting yarn around the hook with your free hand slows down rhythm and risks splitting plies
- Entering the stitch anchors the new stitch to the existing row
- Drawing up a loop creates the vertical height of the stitch
- Pulling through the final loops binds and finishes the stitch
- Pinching the base of the working stitch with your non-hook thumb and middle finger holds it open
- Unanchored stitches roll and twist tightly around the hook neck when pulled
- Tension control comes largely from stabilizing the base of the working loop
- The active loop currently sitting on the crochet hook is not a stitch and does not count
- Counting begins at the first locked sideways 'V' immediately beneath the hook
- Counting the active hook loop results in accidental decreases because rows appear longer than they are
- Row crocheting involves turning your work back and forth across straight edges
- Circular motifs expand outward from a central point in concentric rings
