IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE STARTING TO CROCHET
End the round by slip stitching.
Most of my patterns use the 'end the round with slip stitch' technique. I
feel it makes the stitches more aligned and prevents the finished piece
from skewing to one side. Of course, you can also use the spiral technique,
but the feet or arms might end up in the wrong position.
I feel that some crocheters may not be familiar with the correct operation
of the finishing part, so please pay more attention to this section.
for the end the round :
1. To ensure proper end-of-round placement, you should use a stitch
marker to mark your first crochet stitch.
2. After that, thread the hook through --> take the yarn and pull it
through to execute the slip stitch. (images 2, 3, 4) After that, gently
pull to tighten it a bit.
3. Yarn over and thread it through again to make a chain stitch, and then
make the first crochet stitch again where you slipped into to finish the
round. (images 5~11)
Here are some notes after finishing a round: chain 1 for SC and HDC, chain 2 for DC,
chain 3 for TR or TRC.
