Learn crochet basics with Mary as she explains hooks, yarn weights and fiber types, and guide a beginner-friendly scarf project with a 10 mm hook and cozy fringes.
Discover comfortable hook and yarn grips, experiment with pencil or knife holds, and learn slip knots and chain stitches with tension control to start crocheting your first rows.
Master the single crochet, starting with the foundation chain and forming the first row by threading the hook through the chain's V; turn to crochet the next row.
Learn the half double crochet in the US system, including where to insert the hook, how to yarn over and pull through, and back-loop texture for a beginner scarf.
Master the double crochet, twice as tall as a single crochet, by inserting the hook through the chain and yarn over, then draw through two.
Learn how turning chains influence crochet stitch counting, when beginning chains count as a stitch depending on the pattern, and how first and last stitches affect gaps and aesthetics.
Learn to join yarn and weave in the ends using the magic knot, overlap the tails, and secure with a double knot for a neat, invisible finish.
Begin with super bulky yarn and a 10 mm hook, chain 13, and crochet back-loop only in 13 stitches to form a scarf; repeat rows and add fringe.
