FREE Printable Guide: I Like Crochet Pattern Basics

Dear Crocheter,

Sometimes I find a crochet pattern I love and I just can’t wait to start it. So I get my yarn, my hooks, and I start chaining right away. And then I stop. Do I need one more chain? Did I chain the right number? How many yarn overs do I need for that stitch?

I’ll be the first one to admit that sometimes I just plain forget how to do a crochet stitch I’ve been using for what feels like forever. It’s almost as if as soon as I think about the stitch—poof!—it pops out of my head. Even after crocheting for, ahem, a number of years, sometimes I need a little nudge in the right direction.

It turns out that a quick reference to the basics is a good thing to keep on hand—and not just for beginning crocheters. Here at I Like Crochet, we’ve put together a clear, easy-to-read, Pattern Basics Guide to make your crochet life so much simpler! Need a quick reminder of the difference between double crochet and half double crochet (which is not, as math would indicate, single crochet)? No worries! Just look it up in our handy guide and get back to your project!
