Learning How to Crochet
We are very grateful to TB Ramsden & Co. for allowing us to use their wonderful How to Crochet lessons.
Crochet is a fundamentally different technique from knitting - stitches are created using a single hook instead of a pair of needles and the fabric does not have to be ‘cast off’ at the end. Generally speaking the material that is made is thicker than fabric knitted from the same yarn, but once you are experienced and confident the work ‘grows’ much more quickly than knitting does.
