From Knitting to Crochet learn how to go from a Knitter to Crochet with these techniques

Before I learned how to Crochet I learned how to Knit. Knitting was fun for me as a young teenager making scarves and creating things with yarn. I still own the first pair of knitting needles I ever purchased and while now I may only take them out to knit a dishcloth or scarf from time to time, knitting did lead me to learn how to crochet.   I believe knitting helped me understand how to crochet and what things you can do with yarn.  I can read and understand crochet patterns and videos much better than I can knitting.  I enjoy crochet because of the many different stuffed animals, pillows, afghans, potholders, sweaters, and other items I can make with yarn.  While I can understand the joys of knitting with the beautiful sweaters, sock patterns and more I have a preference to crochet.

I learned how to crochet from watching others and an experienced teacher. Everyone learns differently.  You may want to find out what works best for you. My preference is to be taught by someone who explains the technique well, as I know that we all learn at a different pace and have different understanding of techniques and tutorials.

It can be fun to know how to knit and crochet because there are some similarities in both including reading patterns, different sizes of hooks and needles, yarn weight, patterns and understanding gauge size.

Here are a few suggestions if you are knitting and want to learn how to crochet:

1.  Start slowly with one crochet hook. I would suggest a Size H or larger hook to get started. Use a Worsted Weight yarn that is easy to work with.

4.  Watch a few videos on how to crochet.  Everyone holds the hook and yarn differently. Find out what is comfortable for you.  If you are left handed look for left-handed videos and tutorials.
