📋 Instructions
- Hold the working yarn in your less dominant hand, wrapped comfortably around your fingers. Wrap it around your fingers in a way that feels natural, allowing you to control tension. The yarn should slide smoothly without pulling too tight.
- Hold the crochet hook in your dominant hand, either like a pencil or like a knife. The pencil grip is most comfortable for detailed, small stitches, while the knife grip is comfortable for faster, flowing stitches.
- Relax your dominant hand so that the hook moves freely and your yarn hand guides the flow. Apply firm but gentle tension — yarn should move smoothly without tugging.
- Practice moving the hook through imaginary stitches while maintaining steady tension.
🔑 Key tips
- Tension comes from your fingers, not from gripping the hook.
- Keep your hook hand relaxed; yarn hand controls the flow.
🏋️ Practice
- Move your hook through 5–10 imaginary stitches, focusing on smooth motion and steady tension.
🎯 Goal to Aim For
Feel confident and comfortable guiding your yarn without gripping too tightly.
