Hi! Crafters!
Since I could not find the blog I did years ago. I starting
from scratch. Hopefully, I can re due
it so everyone can understand it.
Holding the Crochet Hook
Grasp your crochet hook in your right hand, between your
thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
Slip Knot
A slip knot is one of the very first things you need to know
to get started with crocheting.

Directions: Grasp the slip knot in your left hand; the slip knot should
be facing you.
Position your thumb so that it is securing the tail of the
yarn that is directly below the slip knot.
The yarn that is still connected to the ball will flow over
your index finger, and you will use your middle finger, fourth finger, and
pinkie to manipulate the yarn as you crochet.
Chain
Stitch
Beginning crocheters usually start out by learning the chain
stitch first.
The chain stitch is one of the most important basic crochet
stitches you'll need to know; chain stitches form the foundation of most
crochet projects.

Directions:
While your crochet hook is still inside the slip knot, slide
the hook in between your yarn and the index finger on your left hand.
Rotate your crochet hook by about one quarter turn
counterclockwise, and use your middle finger, fourth finger, and pinkie to help
you manipulate the yarn so that you can easily grab it with the crochet hook.
After you’ve hooked the yarn, draw it through the slip knot.
As you draw the yarn through, you will likely find it easier
to complete the stitch if you return the hook to its original position facing
upwards.
One chain stitch has been completed.
To make another chain stitch, hook another loop and draw it
through.
Repeat as many times as necessary. As you crochet, use your thumb and
index finger to guide your newly formed chain stitches downward.
