In crocheting, unlike in knitting, never leave knots or tie.
Leave at least four inches of yarn at the end when finishing off yarn to join
new yarn. Join new yarn at the end of a row, whenever possible by working with
the old yarn until two loops are left on the hook, then complete the stitch
with then new yarn. If you do not have
enough yarn to make it to the end of a row, work stitches with both the old and
new yarn until working the end of the old yarn.
You now have the basis of beginning crochet! With a simple beginner book you will learn
how to read instructions and will be able to make many useful items and special
one of a kind gifts!
