I’m working through a list of things I’d like to show you, but if you have a stitch or technique you’d like to have me teach you – I’d love to! Just drop me an email or social media message and tell me what you’d like me to teach. It doesn’t have to be a stitch or technique I use in my patterns – I’m happy to show you anything!

“Quickie” How-To Crochet Stitches and Techniques. Want to learn a new stitch or technique in 90 seconds or less? Check out these stitches below!
- FDC – Foundation Double Crochet – Simple tutorial (no color changing info – for that place see the FDC & Color Changing Tutorial
- Reverse Single Crochet aka the Crab Stitch – I LOVE this stitch for the finishing round of a blanket! It looks awesome and is super easy – once you test it out for a bit. It does feel odd at first to crochet “backwards” but the result is totally worth the time to learn!
- Standing Double Crochet – How I start new colors for a new panel, or how I start a new color at the beginning of a project worked in the round (classic granny squares or any of my filet pattern borders).
- Granny Cluster Decrease (GCD) – I think I made this stitch up! I use it in all my patterns where I turn filet blocks into joinable granny squares. Also used for putting a granny stitch border around blankets.
- Crocheting into the “3rd Loop” – Some of my patterns utilize the “third loop” of a stitch. This is the loop under the top pf your stitch, on the back of your work. It’s VERY easy, just check out this quick video!
- Invisible Join – This video will blow your mind, guaranteed. The invisible join is hands down the BEST way to join a round of crochet if you will be finishing your color in that round.
- Magic Ring – This video shows you how to start a crochet pattern that would be worked in the round (like a granny square) using the Magic Ring (or loop) method.
- Tr2Tog – Treble 2 Together or Treble Decrease – This video shows you how to crochet the tr2tog stitch, though I work mine with less loops for a less-bulky final stitch.
