Crochet is an art that has already become a tradition in many families. Many people learn it from their mothers and grandmothers, and the trend is that the technique is actually passed on from generation to generation.
Material required
According to artisan Jussara Almendros, who has been crocheting for more than 35 years, the materials needed for her initiation are
- Needle: There is a unique needle shape for crocheting, and sizes vary according to the thread used. But according to Jussara, beginners will find more comfort and better precision in stitch execution with a metal needle, size 2.
- Line: The ideal thing for those who are new to crochet is to start handling cotton threads, especially the thinner ones, because they are easier to work with.
- Scissors: This tool is primordial for cutting the thread without fraying it.
With these 3 materials you will be able to make countless crocheted pieces without error!
What are charts and recipes
To better understand the art of crocheting, you need to understand that a chart is not the same thing as a recipe. A chart tells you the size and dimension of each project that will be crocheted, using stitch symbols, while a recipe includes the exact stitches that will be used in the piece during your handiwork, describing the chart in writing.
