Hey Yarn Fam, Welcome to Oh My Yarn ONLINE!
For our first post, I am sharing the first every tutorial on our YouTube! In this tutorial, I will be taking you through the basic crochet techniques and stitches to help kick-start your crochet journey.
You will only be needing THREE (3) basic materials to get you started
-
Yarn
-
Crochet Hook
-
Scissors
That's it!
For your yarn and hook, all you have to do is make sure that you are using a hook size that is appropriate for your yarn. Any yarn and appropriate hook size will do the trick, but I personally would recommend a size 3 yarn weight and 4mm hook. In the video, I am using our own Cotone Grande (CG100) in Berry and the Pony Easy Flat in 5.5mm to be able to show you the stitches better. Here is a quick chart from Craft Yarn Council to help you learn more about the yarn weight system:

There is no perfect yarn or hook size required for you to start. All you need is determination and an interest to learn! We hope you find our tutorial helpful. We can't wait to see your work!
