1 First you crochet your crochet swatch, if you want to
crochet in a
crochet stitch pattern, crochet your swatch in this pattern,
2 then determine your gauge, now you can choose a crochet pattern with the right gauge, this way it will always fit,
3 no need for special yarns or hook sizes, you decide which yarn you use and which hook size you use, so
easy.
The length and quality of the fiber in a crochet yarn determines its texture, luster, strength and hand.
Crochet yarn made from long fibers will pill less, be smoother, stronger, more lustrous and more elastic.
Crochet Yarns containing a mixture of fiber lengths are softer, fuzzier and less strong.
Tightly twisted crochet yarns display the texture of a crocheted pattern to its best advantage.
Crochet yarns may be give a stiffer effect, in this case; smaller is better for your shawl. |
