Basic Crochet Stitches for Beginners
In many crochet projects, the single stitch is used, and its abbreviation is known as the “sc” stitch. Learning this stitch helps increase your ability to make more projects, and also serves as the basis in nearly all amigurumi patterns.
The half double crochet stitch is based on the single crochet stitch, when you add an extra step, so the height and halfway between the single and double crochet stitch. So in the step-by-step patterns you will find abbreviations like “hdc”. One of the advantages of this stitch is that you can make your projects much faster than single crochet stitch and easier.
The double crochet stitch is known in projects as “dc” and the interesting thing is that it combines with all the other basic stitches. This stitch is often used in fillet, V-stitch, granny square, and many other craft patterns. This stitch helps to improve the appearance of projects, giving them a more perfect finish.
The Acute or Tripo Crochet Stitch whose abbreviation is “tr” is the most double crochet stitch and is used in the same step as the basic stitch. One of the nice things about this stitch is that it allows you to quickly add height to a project and create looser pieces.
After learning these basic crochet stitches and practicing a lot, you will be better prepared to start your projects more easily and quickly. With a basic understanding of these stitches, you can combine stitches to create new patterns. This way you gain more experience and soon begin to start your patterns with more confidence.
These patterns were a learning experience when I started crocheting, at first I practiced every day different stitches, creating several stitch patterns. I would make the patterns and undo them until they were perfect, thus I was improving my techniques and perfecting them. As any other learning, in the beginning it is more difficult but with time and dedication you will be able to reach your goals.
For you who want to start your pieces I recommend practicing these initial stitches before starting any project, because when you start a project without the basic knowledge of the stitches, you will find great difficulties to make simple projects, even following the video tutorials, so starting to learn these basic stitches helps a lot to develop your skills as a crafter.
I will leave a video tutorial of basic stitch to help facilitate the learning of these points, I hope they can help you as it helped me in the beginning. I would like to leave the credit and image rights of the video to the official site of the content.
