A guide to choosing the right yarn thickness and crochet hook size | Quick chart of sizes for winter and summer yarns

2025/4/26    

Some yarn manufacturers label yarns as "medium-fine" or "medium-weight" as a guide to their thickness, but others don't. As you become more familiar with these labels, you'll be able to get a rough idea of the thickness and the size crochet hook you should use. When choosing yarn, it's best to see it in person, but even if you go to a store, it's often difficult to find all the colors available...

かぎ針編み 「伸縮性のある作り目」の編み方

Foundation Single Crochet: A Stretchy Start

2025/5/4    

This article explains how to make a cast-on that is more stretchy than a chain stitch. It's a cast-on that's higher than a chain, about the same height as a single row of knit crochets over a chain cast-on, or a little lower. It may look somewhat similar to a thread cord. After making the stretchy cast-on, pick up the stitches...

Whether traveling or everyday use, here's a list of things to bring along for stress-free mobile knitting

2025/4/26    

There are times when you want to crochet at home, or when you want to crochet in the gaps between long journeys, or when you're traveling. For those times, I've compiled a list of essential items that I always take with me when I'm mobile knitting. I try to carry only the bare necessities so that my luggage doesn't get too heavy. I often forget...

Choosing substitute threads without relying on intuition | How well do ratio calculations and actual gauge measurements match?

2025/4/26    

Using the information on the yarn sash, I tried to find yarn from a Japanese manufacturer that was similar in thickness to the overseas yarn "Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift." Comparing the weight and length of the yarn, I found that Hamanaka's "Pure Wool Medium-Fine" seemed to be the closest in thickness. As a follow-up, I'll be using the ratio calculation to select yarn...

Choosing substitute yarns that can be used for overseas patterns | Comparing yarn thickness based on gram weight and yarn length

2025/4/26    

It's not uncommon for knitting books and patterns on online shops to use yarn from an overseas manufacturer. While it's fine to simply knit with the same yarn, you might wonder if you can substitute it with leftover yarn you have at home, or if you could use yarn from a more readily available domestic manufacturer. For example, I mentioned overseas yarn, but...

かぎ針編み 細めの糸で編んだリップケース

Free crochet pattern "Lip Case"

This is the kind of crochet project I wanted to make. I wanted to make something a little more cheerful during the chilly season. This is a crochet project that can be made with a little spare yarn and some spare time. Using thin yarn creates a delicate pattern, and the bag is thin and comfortable to wear. It could also be used to store things like a seal or a USB memory stick, in addition to lipstick.

かぎ針編み 「くさり編み」の編み方

How to crochet a chain stitch

This article explains the basics of crocheting, the chain stitch. The chain stitch is also used to create cast-on stitches when starting a project. It's also used in patterned crochet, to create button loops, and even when crocheted long, it can be used to make drawstrings and other items. It's the most commonly used crochet stitch, so be sure to give it a try! Watch the video tutorial...
