circular crocheting?

Question

Recently I was given a pair of circular crochet hooks and I want to know how to use them. I have been crocheting since I was about 7 years old, so I know how to crochet, just not with those hooks.

Answer 1

Chain stitch 3 and skip stitch into the first one. This creates the circular base. ch up three and wrap over yarn, put at least 17 double crochet stitches into the circle base. pull and shift as you go and trust that what looks ruffly is a circle,join the last stitch to the chain up and chain up 3.
Now you are on row two==crochet one into the top of one stitch in row one and one stitch into the space between stitches.
go arround adding extra stitches until the little circle starts to curve over your head
then in the next row, ( around row 6 or 7) crochet only in the top of the stitches of the last row, joining and chaining up to the next row for three or four rows.

Answer 2

You can crochet either back and forth in rows, or you can make a chain, join it into a circle, and work in rounds. Rounds can be made either flat, as in a doily, or tubular, and the variety is endless. To further complicate the issue, you can also do free sculpture in crochet. I saw some work by a fellow who made crocheted versions of chain saws, chairs, you name it. It was pretty amazing. Have fun!
