Start loop

Tuesday, February 27, 2018

Start loop

Crochet starts always with a chain of chains where you crochet on top the 1st row of double crochet or single crochet.

Before you start with a chain you need to form the starting loop. The start loop is the start.

How do I crochet the start loop?

You need a thicker yarn with the fitting crochet hook.

1. Variation

Place the string around the pointing finger of the left hand,

Push the crochet hook underneath the string and turn it around.
