    I notice you use the US terminology for hooks as well “F – J – H” all my hooks are in a numbered sequence “4 – 4.5 – 5 – 5.5 etc.” What would be the corresponding size hooks?

    I am left-handed but I knit right-handed (meaning I control the yarn with my right hand) would it be easier for me to learn crotchet controlling the yarn with my right hand or my left. Many years ago I tried with both and just couldn’t seem to control either the hook or the yarn. I am really keen to learn how to crotchet, I am an avid knitter but i just don’t want to get frustrated like I did before. So hoping you can help me.

      Ive been knitting since i was about 6 yrs old. Im a granny now, so it’s been a very long time that I’ve knit off and on thru the yrs Ive tried to learn to crochet and have loved learning the various, basic stitches. My biggest problem is that I don’t know how to put the stitches together because I can’t read a crochet pattern! And, I don’t know how to inc or dec, etc. im just so frustrated because i love crochet blanket, afghan and / or throws very much. Plus id love to be able to do some crochet borders on some of my knit blankets, etc. i hope this course will teach me ti be a knitter who can crochet too!!

    Love renewing my knowledge, ashamed of the bad habits I have picked up. Also, this is helping me teach my almost-6 year old Greatgranddaughter. We meet twicea week on zoom, since she is in Texas and I am in California. She is hard at work on a washcloth. The first thing she has learn are, chain stitch, single stitch, and double stitch. She has also learned to COUNT and MARK. She thought she would impressed me and get her washcloth done, But on the second row, she missed a total of 5 stitches. Love this series!

      Hi Nancy,
      Tension is one of those things that comes with lots of practice. Try practicing a particular stitch ( for example, 20 single crochet) and be really conscious to crochet them with a looser stitch. Adjust the tension of your working yarn hand so you’ll have more yarn to work with. For me, crocheting consistently – almost everyday- was how I was finally able to find a tension that worked for me… not too tight and not too loose. You’ll find your ideal tension too!
