The Crochet Stitch Guide offers you the opportunity to learn a new stitch or technique every week. Every Wednesday a new video is posted on YouTube. To join in all you need is a hook and yarn! In most tutorials I use a neutral coloured acrylic nylon mix called rice pud from Sirdar with a 4mm hook.

Beginners Stitches

Practice these two stitches whether you are a beginner or advanced crochet artist. You want to be able to crochet them with any hook and yarn and to eventually manipulate tension.
