Crochet Essentials: Mastering the Pen Grip for Your First Stitches

March 3, 2021

Here we will explain how to hold the yarn and crochet hook (pen grip/right-handed).

When knitting, use this basic grip, with the yarn held between the little finger and ring finger of your left hand connected to the ball of yarn.

At first, you may feel awkward with the amount of force you use to hold the yarn and how you release the yarn, but as you continue knitting, you will gradually get used to it and find the right amount of force.

Basic grip

糸の持ち方[1] 左手の小指と薬指で毛糸をはさみ、人差し指にかけます。糸端は手前側に持ってきます。
[1] Hold the yarn between your pinky and ring fingers on your left hand and loop it over your index finger, with the end of the yarn facing you.
糸の持ち方[2] 手前に持ってきた糸端を、中指と親指で押さえます。
[2] Hold the end of the thread you brought towards you with your middle finger and thumb. Hold the hook in your right hand as if you were holding a pencil.
糸の持ち方[3] 編んでいる途中は、糸の先が編み地につながっているので、このようになります。
[3] While you are knitting, the ends of the yarn are connected to the fabric, so it will look like this.

How to hold the yarn when knitting

わ編みの糸の持ち方[1] 左手の人差し指と中指に、糸を2重に巻きます。
[1] To start the loop stitch, wrap the yarn twice around the index and middle fingers of your left hand.
わ編みの糸の持ち方[2] 巻いた糸を、いったん右手でつかんで外します。左手に糸をかけます。
[2] Grab the wound thread with your right hand and remove it. Then put the thread over your left hand.
わ編みの糸の持ち方[3] 左手の中指と親指で糸を持ちます。
[3] Hold the yarn between the middle finger and thumb of your left hand. Start knitting from this position.
