How to crochet round and round without finishing each round

In this DROPS video we show how you can crochet round and round without finishing each round. We have already crocheted a chain stitches row and start the video how to form them into a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch. Then work 2 chain stitches (replacing the first half-double crochet), 1 half-double crochet in each of the remaining chain stitches, 2 half-double crochets around the 2 chain stitches at the beginning of the round. Insert 1 marker-thread at the beginning of the round to show where it begins and work round and round without finishing each round. On round 2 work the first double crochet in the 2nd chain stitch from the beginning of first round, then work 1 double crochet in each half-double crochet. This round is not finished in the usual way, the first double crochet in next round is worked in the first double crochet from previous round. Then continue round and round with 1 double crochet in each double crochet. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern with this technique to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find pattern by clicking on the pictures below.

How to work around a single crochet

In this DROPS video we show how to work around a single crochet, not work in the loops. In this way, a type of “edge” is created, as you see on the Sunshine Smiles hat in DROPS 229-29. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns with this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

How to crochet slip stitch around double crochet stitches

In this DROPS video, we show how we crochet slip stitches around double crochet stitches, so that a nice thick edge is formed. To emphasise the edge and give it a little weight, we crochet this round with double thread, while the rest of the work has been crocheted with 1 thread. The slip stitches must not be crocheted too tight. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern with this technique to be able to follow this video properly.

How to work double crochet and get a straight line running down the beginning/ending of the rounds

In this DROPS video we show how to get a straight line running down the beginning/the end of the rounds. Work in the round alternately from the right and wrong side, turning the piece after each round. It you work round and round from the right side; the line at the beginning of the round is then slightly diagonal (see the sample patch on the right at the beginning of the video). We also work the piece in stripes and to get a neat transition when changing colours, we work the slip stitch at the end of the round in the new colour. Each round of double crochets begins with 3 chain stitches which do not replace the first double crochet. The rounds finish with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

How to crochet a heel with single crochet

We have already worked the leg and in the video we show who we work over 16 stitches over the leg and how to decrease 8 stitches, and then increase / work stitches in the side back and forth, to we have 16 stitches again. The "Rainbow Racers" socks are worked with 2 threads DROPS Delight, but in the video we use 1 thread DROPS Snow. You must read a pattern with this technique to be able to follow this video properly.

How to crochet fringes

In this DROPS video we show how to crochet fringes. We have already crocheted some fringes. Pull out a loop with the crochet hook to the desired length, twist the thread (the more times the thread is twisted, the tighter the fringe become), fold the thread double and it will twist together. Work a single crochet in the next stitch. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
