Slip Knot: The slip knot is always the beginning step of crochet, in order to put a loop on your crochet hook.
Chain Stitch: The chain stitch provides a base from which to begin your crochet pattern.
Slip Stitch: To form a chain into a ring, the ends of the chain are joined with a slip stitch. The slip stitch can also be used to “edge” a row without adding height.
Single Crochet: This is the most basic of the crochet pattern stitches.
Double Crochet: The double crochet stitch is also a very common stitch; it is twice the height of the single crochet.
Half Double Crochet: You will eliminate one step of the double crochet to make this stitch.
Short Double Crochet: Another name for half double crochet.
Treble Crochet: The treble crochet results in a looser pattern because it is taller. Also known as Triple Crochet.
