Slip - Knots
|
In class, we learned how to make a slip knot. This was just one of a variety of ways to make slip-knots. There are lots of videos for the variety of ways. Find the way that works for you, and go with it!

Chain Stitch (ch)Projects in crochet typically start with a chain stitch (Labelled as CH in a pattern). This is the base of the project and will help to determine the overall size and look of it. Tension is the most important part to consider when making your chain, and depends completely on how you hold your yarn.

Single Crochet Stitch (sc)
|
You have practiced creating slip-knots and chains during our last class. Today you will work on your single crochet stitch (on a pattern it is written as sc).
We will go through the tutorial, and then attempt to create our own dishcloths. It's okay if they don't turn out perfect, remember: you are JUST starting to crochet. If you are really offended by your work, you can unravel it and start again ;) |
Finishing Projects
Pattern: Single Stitch Dishcloth
CH 30
Row 1 - SC in the second (sc), 29 across Chain 1, turn over Row 2 - SC in each SC (29 across) Row 3 to ~38 - rep row 2 Weave to finish **NOTE - Ms. C's project uses a chain 26 and then finishes with a SC around the perimeter of the cloth |
There are many different ways to finish your project. Use the video to complete the finish as per the pattern if you would like to hide all your strings.
You may have noticed on my project, I have an outline as well as a chained loop. This was done by using single crochet stitches going around the entire outer edge of the dishcloth. Then I simply created a chain 8 with the final string and tied it to the corner of the cloth. |

Magic Loop (Circle)
|
The magic circle is a great starting loop for any circular projects where the outside circle needs to be seen. The teddy bear project in the challenges uses a magic loop.
