Dudes of Craft Tutorial: Chaos Stitch
Friday, August 13, 2010 9:23Dudes of Craft is a weekly series from Keli Anaya exploring the mysterious world of men who craft.
For this week’s column, I wanted to share something really special so I made a movie. In this video I teach you how to Chaos Stitch. You will need a couple of things before you begin: yarn/twine/string and a crochet hook.
Sit back and enjoy!
A few tips:
1. Crocheting is basically building stitches on top of the previous stitches. For example, if you want a square you would start crocheting on your beginning chain from right to left. At the end of the chain, you would move up a row to start crocheting from left to right. This will make more sense next week.
2, A thicker crochet hook will produce a bigger, looser crochet. A thinner hook will make a smaller, tighter product.
3. Enjoy the act of making something! This is just an introduction into the basics of crochet, so just have fun.
