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...

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.

Along with the renewal of our website, our online shop has also been reborn and opened as the Ronique Store, a shop for crochet recipes. We apologize for the long wait to all of you who have contacted us with inquiries about selling knitting patterns ...

When you're engrossed in crocheting, you might find yourself becoming interested in tools, too. Of course, you can't let go of your favorite, wonderfully easy-to-use crochet hooks, but for some reason, you start to wonder what other crochet hooks are out there. Try out a variety of easily available Japanese crochet hooks...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
