How to use a crochet ring

We understand that many beginners might find it challenging to hold the yarn, so we've created a helpful tutorial on using a crochet ring. If you still feel unsure about holding the yarn after finishing your first round, we invite you to watch this video for some guidance!

Single Stitch

Before learning single stitch.

We need to know some crochet patterns.

This pattern is written in US terminology and crocheted in the round

sc --  single crochet

Round 1

After watching the video, we should show the stitches in this round.

crochet 6 single stitches. Crocheters love abbreviations, so in pattern speak, that's written as:

sc x 8   (8)

Since the pattern is: sc --  single crochet,

and sc x 8  means 8 single stitches,

(8)  means the total stitches.

OK, I know you already understand a little bit.

Now, let go on!

Wow！ You've done the hardest round,
What‘s proving you have a talent for crocheting?
All you need to do is keep patient!

Round 2

Increase stitch

In this round, we need to learn how to increase the stitch.

Crocheters love abbreviations, so in pattern speak, that's written as:

[sc, inc] x 4 (12)

Or with a lot more words:

  [1 single crochet stitch,1 increase crochet stitch] for a total of  4 times= 12 stitches

Since 1 increase crochet stitch is 2 single crochet stitches

that is:

[ 1 stitch+2 stitch] *4=12 stitches

This is a chart to explain the stitche pattern of round 2:

Go ahead with the video:

Good job! You've learned to crochet the single stitch and increase stitch.

Now this round will be easy for U,

Round 3

[sc, inc] x 6 (18)

Or with a lot more words:

  [1 single crochet stitch,1 increase crochet stitch] for a total of 6 times= 18 stitches

that is:

[ 1 stitch+2 stitch] *6=18 stitches

Go ahead with the video:

Round 4

Now, we'll work on Round 4，

Let's show you the pattern: 

[inc, 2sc] x 6 (24)

Do 1 increase crochet first.

Finally, crochet 2 single crochets in the one after that.


Repeat that sequence of stitches 6 times. You'll have 24 V's once you've finished this round.



Please follow the video：

Right side & Wrong side

 In crochet, the “Right Side” and “Wrong Side” refer to the two sides of a piece of crochet fabric. The right side is the side of the fabric that is typically seen or displayed, while the wrong side is the side that is usually hidden or not seen.

Follow the video to understand what is the right side and wrong side.

Round 10

[3sc, inc] x 6 (30)

Add safety eyes

Safety eyes aren’t safe for children younger than 3 years old, or pets. please take care!

1 it may be between Round 8-9, count it from the top. find two points in the middle, insert 2 pins to mark
2 Replace a pin with a bead

3. Turn the piece over so you can see the end of the bead

4. place the washer, flat side toward your piece, onto the bead.

5. Put the safety eye on a table and push down on the washer with both thumbs, so that it cinches the fabric evenly
