Crochet Loop Stitch Tutorial
Materials Needed:
- 8 millimeter crochet hook
- Soft and thick yarn (Yarn Inspirations yarn was used in the video)
Instructions:
Starting Your Project:
Create a Loop:
- Begin by making a loop with your yarn.
Chain 7-8 Stitches:
- Chain a total of 8 stitches. The 8th chain is an extra and is not used in the pattern; it simply provides some extra room. You will mainly work into the 7th chain.
Working the First Row:
Start the First Stitch:
- With your chain facing you, insert your hook into the 7th chain.
Create a Stitch:
- Yarn over and pull through, then yarn over again and pull through two loops on your hook.
Continue Across:
- Repeat this process for each chain across to complete your first row.
Creating Loops:
Turn Your Work:
- After completing the first row, turn your work to start the loops.
Insert the Hook:
- Insert your crochet hook through the front of the stitch.
Wrap the Yarn:
- Yarn over and then move the hook to the back, pulling the yarn through. You should have three loops on your hook.
Complete the Loop:
- Yarn over again and pull through all three loops on your hook. This creates your first loop.
Repeat the Process:
- Continue this method to create loops for each stitch across the row.
Continuing Your Project:
Repeat the Steps:
- After completing a row of loops, turn your work and continue creating loops as described. You will essentially repeat these steps to build up the pattern, creating a fabric with a loopy texture on one side and a neat appearance on the inside.
Final Steps:
- Once you've reached the desired length for your project, you can fasten off and weave in ends as usual.
