Crochet basics : instructions and video tutorials to make chain stitch (with yarn and wire)
1. Introduction
Within this first crochet instructions and demos, we will share the technique to make chain stitch. Whether we use yarn, wire or any other material, chain stitch is used as a foundation for the crochet work and as part of more complex stitches too. To make wire jewellery, even chain stitch all alone by itself has a lot of creative potential. Since we are presenting this information as part of our “Creating Crocheted Jewellery” series, first, we will present our basic instructions using yarn and then, we will share some tips and show some demos concerning wire.
The crochet basic technique we are sharing here is mostly the one I’ve learned with my mom as a child. This technique works perfectly for me and I wouldn’t be able to change it now, even if I wanted to. However, since it is slightly different from some examples on my crochet books and on the Internet resources I found, I will try to provide an overview of different methods, so our readers can choose the ones that suit them better. As you will see, there are different ways to achieve the same results. You’ll have to try it yourself and decide which methods work better for you.

Hi Pelagalli
Welcome and thank you for visiting and commenting on our blog. We thank and appreciate very much your participation. Yours is a very pertinent observation.
In fact, you’re completely right. We had thought about it, but since our adventure is just starting and we have so few readers, we were planning on coming back to this issue later. Please excuse us. We are really committed to make our blog as inclusive as possible, but right now we have so little feedback from our audience that we often feel as if we were blogging alone by ourselves and we forget that our readers are no longer imaginary beings inside our heads, but real people with real needs.
Here is why participations like yours are so important to us. They allow us to better understand who is interested in our contents and to identify our audience needs, helping us to improve our information. We have an urgent need of interacting with our public, since our goal is to create a readers’ community for mutual exchange and learning on crafts.
Therefore, it’s with great pleasure that we hope we can satisfy the suggestion implied on your comment by proposing you to watch the video inversed versions (our best solution to demonstrate the hands movements from a left-handed perspective) that we prepared and added to this post (you’ll find the correspondent links under each video display).
Our best regards,
Atelier Lady Julia team
