I am looking for an easy, clear understanding of how to crochet in a circle.?

Question

I am not that great in reading instructions on how to crochet, so they must be simple to understand. Appreciate your help. ;-)

Answer 1

You should go to the library or to Wal Mart, they have very simple booklets for beginners and would be a lot easier than one of us trying to explain because every stitch has it's own look and way of increasing as you go around to make that circle. I would do it that way so you can be sure and see pictures. You might be able to go to googles and type in Simple crochet patterns and see what comes up. Good luck.

Answer 2

Start by chaining 3, 4, or more. Slipstitch into very 1st chain to form a circle.
Slipstitching is: inserting hook into a chain, and grabbing yarn and pulling through both loops.
There is a book called Learn To which teaches many beginning crochet stitches. Also, you can find instructions and diagrams on the web. Just type in crocheting. Good Luck!

Answer 3

mama has the right idea but u cant actually go in a continuous circle without addling stitches. try this, ch 2 do six sc in the 2nd stitch from hook. when u get to that 6th stitch 2sc in it and in each of the 6 stitches. now u have 12. when u get back to 12 sc in the 1st and 2sc in the 2nd. do this around and u will have 18 sts. as u get back to the start of each round add a stitch to each set. in other words the next round would b counted in4s,then 5s, 6s etc. they do have very simple books on teaching urself to crochet with pictures and everything. u can also usually get help from the ladies that work at the store where u buy ur yarn. good luck.

if you do a straight line of single crochett then at the end make a slip stitch put both ends together it will look like a seam
