When you crochet, there are many different stitches. In a way, they are all an extension of each other, and if you grasp the technique of just one of them, you can actually make them all. If it's your first time holding a crochet hook, I recommend that you tackle one stitch first. This way, you'll quickly become familiar with both the crochet hook and yarn, and you'll discover how the other stitches are made in essentially the same way.

Here you'll find videos that can help you get started with the different techniques!
