Crochet Essentials: From Hooks to Yarn Winders, the Tools That Fuel Creativity

2022/1/17    

What tools do you need to start crocheting? We'll introduce some of them. Crocheting is a very easy craft, and the tools are compact! To put it bluntly, the bare minimum tools you need are a crochet hook and a darning needle. From there, we'll introduce the fan items you'll end up collecting as you get more and more enjoyable with crocheting.

There are many different types of crochet, but first, you might want to get a general overview! We've compiled some useful information for you to use in such situations. You can still crochet even if you don't know anything about crochet, but knowing about it will help you understand the genre of the project you're currently knitting and make things a little easier.

English Crochet Glossary: A Step-by-Step Guide to Translating Patterns

2025/4/26    

Speaking of crochet, in Japan, it's common to use a crochet pattern to explain how to crochet. While you can find crochet patterns in overseas recipes, it's also common to see patterns with instructions in English. Even though crocheting is a familiar craft, the sheer amount of English terminology can make it seem intimidating at first. However, when you see patterns in English overseas...

Visual Reference: Japanese Crochet Symbols & English Terms

2025/4/26    

We've compiled a list of how crochet stitch symbols (stitch symbols) are expressed in English patterns. We hope this will be helpful when reading English patterns that don't include knitting diagrams. On the crochet stitch symbols page, we've listed how to read the symbols in Japanese, so you can compare them and use the same list...

かぎ針編み 往復編みのコースター

Free Crochet Pattern: Square Coaster in Rows | All-Season

This is the crochet project I made: a simple coaster using round crochet stitches. It's a knitted pattern based on a knit stitch. I added a little ingenuity so that I didn't have to crochet the edges. Even though it's a very basic item, I realized there weren't any free coaster recipes available, so I decided to try it out. I'm a crochet enthusiast, so I'm looking forward to learning more about crochet coasters.

Quick Guide: Matching Crochet Hook Sizes to Seasonal Yarn Weights

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...

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...
