Hi Elissa, Aunt Katie here. I really want to learn to crochet. Do you recommend a beginners crochet hook? I have a hook that’s all metal and the stitches just seem to slip and I have a hard time making each stitch look the same. The yarn just seems to slip when I’m bringing it through the loop. Any suggestions?
Hi there, Aunt Katie! I recommend Clover Amour Crochet Hooks for beginners. They’re affordable, they’ve got a sturdy thumb grove, and the throat is deep enough to actually hook the yarn. I’d also begin with the biggest, cheapest yarn you can find. Working with finer yarns is more difficult because they’re so slippery. As for the stitches not looking the same, that definitely happens in the beginning. I promise that if you keep at it, you’ll look back on your early projects (and likely many mistakes) fondly. I know I do!
Deseo que si eres tan amable de mandarme el patrón para hacerlo. Un saludo. Gracias
