▶ Stitch Tutorials + −
🧶 Chain (ch)
Most basic and foundational stitch. It’s usually the very first thing you learn.
⭐ Easy
🧶 Single Crochet (Sc)
One of the most basic crochet stitches and creates a tight, dense fabric.
⭐ Easy
🧶 Increase (Inc)
Work two stitches into the same stitch. This adds one stitch to your row or round and helps create shaping.
⭐ Easy
🧶 Single Decrease (Dec2tog)
Work two stitches together to turn them into one stitch. This reduces your stitch count by one and helps shape the project.
⭐ Easy
🧶 Double Decrease (Dec3tog)
Work three stitches together to create one stitch. This reduces your stitch count by two and is often used for faster shaping.
🧶 Double Crochet (Dc)
A common crochet stitch that creates a slightly taller fabric than single crochet. It works up quickly and produces a flexible, textured finish.
⭐ Easy
🧶 Triple Crochet (Trc)
A tall crochet stitch that creates an open, airy fabric. Triple crochet stitches work up quickly and are often used in lace patterns and decorative designs.
⭐ Easy
🧶 Back Loops Only (BLO)
Work your stitch into the back loop of the stitch instead of under both loops. This creates a decorative ridge and adds texture or shaping.
⭐ Easy
🧶 Magic Circle (Mc)
A crochet technique used to start projects worked in the round. The adjustable ring can be pulled tight to close the centre hole neatly.
🧶 Continuous Rounds
Crochet continuously in a spiral without joining rounds. A stitch marker is often used to mark the beginning of each round and help keep track of your stitch count.
