5 STITCHES CHEAT SHEET

⃣ Basic terms: ⃣ Slip Knot: any crochet project will almost always begin with a slip knot. Create a slip knot by wrapping the yarn around your finger into a loop, and pulling a new loop. Tighten the loose end gently to create the slip knot. Insert your hook into the loop, and pull the end of your yarn to tighten. ⃣ Yarn Over: wrap the yarn around your hook. ⃣ St: stitch. ⃣ Abbreviations: ⃣ ch = chain: To begin a chain, first create a slip knot on your hook. To make a chain stitch, yarn over, and pull the yarn through the loop on your hook. This will create a new loop. Each loop is a chain stitch. ⃣ sc = single crochet: Insert your hook into the loops of the previous stitch. Yarn over, pull through one loop. You should have two loops on your hook. Yarn over again, and pull through both loops. ⃣ hdc = half double crochet: Yarn over, then insert your hook into the loops of the previous stitch. Yarn over, pull through one loop. You should have three loops on your hook. Yarn over again, and pull through all three loops. ⃣ dc = double crochet: Yarn over, then insert your hook into the loops of the previous stitch. Yarn over, pull through one loop. You should have three loops on your hook. Yarn over again, and pull through two loops. Yarn over, and pull through the second two loops. ⃣ sl st = slip stitch: Insert your hook into the loops of the previous stitch. Pull through one loop. Pull that same loop back through the first loop on your hook. Pull to tighten. This is usually used as a way to finish a project, so if you are finishing you can cut the yarn and pull the end of the yarn all the way through the loop.
