Crochet teaching (1) square coaster

   According to the survey, there are relatively fewer people who can use crochet techniques well than stick knitting. Therefore, crochet teaching starts from the most basic and focuses on simplicity. Crochet symbols and knitting techniques are gradually learned from shallow to deep as they are used in the works. . In order to let everyone have interest and fun in learning, try to make simple crochet knitting into new clothes as much as possible in teaching. I hope that everyone can upload pictures to talk about their feelings and communicate with each other while completing the work, so that I can grasp the teaching content and progress.

  Crochet knitting is a combination of stitches such as lock stitches, short stitches, and long stitches to form a pattern connection to complete a work. There are five basic crochet stitches:
 lock stitch, short stitch, medium-long stitch, long stitch, and pulling stitch
