Crochet Tips & Tricks. Did You Know? New every week
8. Do not change the hook size in the middle of the project. It will not only look different but might affect the pattern.
7. Crocheting is a great therapy, but do not forget to support your back, elbows and to have a good light.
6. Plan how much yarn you need before you start a project and don't start it if you do not have enough yarn. Another die lot might not be the same color.
5. Extended double crochet (exdc) is as tall as treble/triple crochet (tr) (US terminology)
4. To weave in the ends use the needle or smaller hook size. It secures them better.
3. Store your WIPs in zip-lock bags with a note: pattern name, designer, hook size, yarn brand, color & dye lot.
2. Back/front loop only (BLO/FLO) stitches are taller than regular both loops stitches and your creation becomes not only textured but more soft as well.
1. Do not cook and crochet at the same time - your family will stay hungry! Even better - use the timer and check the food as often as needed, not after you finish another round.
