Chain Again and Again
Updated: Sep 20, 2019
The first thing you learn to make when you begin to crochet is a chain. A chain stitch is a very basic stitch and is the foundation for many patterns.
To improve your crochet technique, practice making chains of different sizes and gauges. Your focus is to keep a consistent stitch size for the length of chain, without twisting or turning the stitches.
Start off by making a very loose chain.
Next, make a very tight chain.
Then, make a natural chain that's not too loose or tight.
Find fun ways to stitch using only chains, like this flower pattern:
