The half double crochet stitch is one of my favorite basic stitches. It has the simplicity of the single crochet stitch but works up quickly like the double crochet stitch. The final product sits perfectly between the stiffer single crochet stitch and the looser double crochet stitch.

The second most common stitch in crochet is the double crochet stitch. It comes second to the single crochet stitch, which learned about in our last post / video. This stitch results in a less rigid or shaped project, so it is wonderful for such things as a baby blanket or quilt. The larger gaps between the stitches make it into a softer, more flowy final result, depending on which yarn you may use. Because of these larger gaps, however, it crochets up very quickly, which can be very exciting and rewarding. Materials Needed Crochet Hook Set Yarn Used...

The single crochet stitch is the first and most basic of the crochet stitches. It is a square-shaped stitch that can be worked into almost any shape.

One thing I was sure of when we started our Happy Handicrafts video series, was that I would be covering crochet and sharing what you need to know before getting started with crochet. Not only do I have almost 40 years of experience with crochet, but it's also a handicraft that I love. It has stood the test of time (clearly) and has been the source of much relaxation and joy throughout the years. I initially learned to crochet as a child, but it became a hobby that I kept revisiting as a young adult. At the time,...

This is it, Friend. This is our final project in our Needle Felting Series! Honestly, we’ve been doing this handicraft for 6 months, so I don’t know why I’m sad about moving on, but I am. This handicraft has been so enjoyable for both my daughter and myself. I would like to strongly encourage any homeschooling family – if you are looking for a handicraft to do with your children, DO THIS! As our final project, we chose to make a needle-felted fairy to accompany our whimsical toadstool scene. Creating a human figure brings together many, if not all, of the skills...
