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,
