The very first thing I crocheted was a little granny motif.
This is the square "loop stitch" motif, which is probably the most commonly seen motif joining technique.
Strangely enough, I remember that moment like a video.
The book contained colorful motifs with different colors on each level, and I tried making them using embroidery thread as I read the explanations.
I don't remember why I decided to try crocheting, but I knew I was obsessed with it.
When I was a child, my mother had a lot of lace needles and a few crochet hooks at home, so it's not surprising that she taught me something, but I have almost no memory of ever being taught how to crochet.
So when I started knitting the motif, I was definitely a complete beginner.
Perhaps the explanations in the book were good, or perhaps my mother was teaching me at the time, but I somehow managed to knit the motif.
I still have a visual memory of the finished product: I knitted several pieces until I had used up all my embroidery thread, and then made them into a pouch with connected motifs.
Granny motifs are amazing because they are easy to crochet even for beginners.
As I continued crocheting, I ran into many problems, such as not knowing how to count the stitches in the knitting pattern or where to put the needle.
I gradually forget the things I've just started, but I really feel that the experience of clearing something one step at a time is invaluable.
I also realized that easy-to-knit patterns are loved throughout the ages and that everyone wants to knit them.
By the way...if you noticed that Ronique doesn't have any motif joining recipes, you might want to point it out, haha, but I have a vivid memory that it was Granny Motif that taught me how to crochet.
I hope this will be helpful when you are crocheting something for the first time.
