INTRODUCING CROCHET  Hi! Are you new to the crochet field? Then you are at the correct place. Ok, before we start lets see whether you have got the correct hook and yarn. for new crocheters I recommend 100%  cotton mercerized yarn with a 1.10 mm metal hook. a normal wool yarn would be okay, if you are having trouble finding the yarn. Holding  the hook and the yarn. Don't know to hold the hook properly? That means there's no chain! no single crochet!  Most of the people have their own way of holding and controlling the yarn in crochet. You can hold the hook and yarn in any comfortable way you can. Most of the crocheters hold the hook like a pencil with the thumb and the forefinger over the flat section of the hook. so, the other hand hold the work and the yarn supply. some people use the index finger to manipulate the yarn. Left Handers, don't worry ! you can take the above picture next to a mirror so, you can see the illustration in a mirror i
