Tips to Help You with Your Crochet Project
| When you’re working on a large project mark your stitches every 25 stitches – you can use pins, etc.
If you’re attaching two pieces of work together, use a smaller hook, to prevent a bulky seam. Weaving in your ends as you work on your crochet will help your finished project look far neater. When you’ve got yarn left at the end of a project it’s easier to store if you put it in balls. Keep your crochet hooks clean by wiping them down with alcohol (if you have metal hooks) and cotton balls. If you’re working on a piece that is very dark yarn (such as black) you might want to consider putting a piece of white material on your lap. If you’re working with a variety of yarns and you’re concerned about different weights, here’s a simple conversion chart so you can double up the yarn! * 2 strands of fingering weight yarn = 1 strand sport weight Yarn
