i started to crochet 3 months ago. i can knit but have found crotchet so much easier. so many different things you can do and these abbreviations are more in depth then any i have come across. a nice big thank you x
I just wanted to say that the information contained on the site is brilliant thanks again for your help
Excellent list of crochet stitches!
I wish the charted examples were there with the stitches, but I’m finding that no one does that, at least not with all possible stitches, just with the top 3 basic crochet stitches.
Knitting is much easier…..
