Now if you are allergic to these items, don't eat them. I am not responsible if you eat a chocolate bar or ice cream and end up in the emergency room or you gain 25 pounds while doing my tutorials. LOL Also, please note a new section on Gauge for after you've conquered the basic stitches.
All crochet begins with a slip knot and foundation chain.
First, the slip knot. 1 Make a circle and drop the loop behind it. 2 Slip your hook under the loop you dropped behind your circle. 3 Pull on the two ends to tighten. Bring it just up to the hook, but not too tight.
