When you are working on a crochet project, it can happens that there is a stitch or a technique used in the pattern that you have never done before. In this tips and tricks post as part of my TLC Blanket, I give you an overview of individual stitches and techniques. I show you how to make the stitches and do the technique using videos that are part of my Crochet Fundamental series on my YouTube channel. In these short videos, available for left and right handed crafters, I demonstrate only that one stitch or technique. This page is meant as a reference, for you to fall back on in case you need it.
