FrugalAdmin:

Embroidery is a type of needlework that is used to decorated and add functionality, such as reinforcement, to already existing fabric. It can be done monochrome or in color, and often uses a special type of thread, called Embroidery thread, in order to create designs, words, or pictures, although other materials are used as well.

==Manual instructions==

[[File:ManualCastOn.jpg | thumb]]

* Make slip knot about one-half yard from end of yarn (step 1). Draw it up on one knitting needle, holding yarn in position shown in this picture. (step 2)
* Catch hold of the shorter end of yarn with the left hand, and hold hands in the positions shown in this picture (step 3).
*Turn the left hand around to the position shown in this picture (step 4). With the right hand push the needle farther through the loop on left thumb, and with the first finger of the right hand throw the yarn over the point of the needle.
* Draw the yarn tight and bring the needle toward you through the loop on the thumb.
* Push the loop backward from the point of the needle.
* Pull the loop downward.
* Let go of the loop and catching hold of the end of yarn in the left hand with the fingers and thumb, draw the loop up tight against the needle.

==Using crochet hook==

[[File:CrochetCastOn.jpg | thumb]]

* Make a slip knot in the end of the yarn and slip it on the knitting needle (step 1). Do not pull the slip knot very close to the needle. * Hold slip knot with thumb and second finger of left hand and with right hand slip the crochet hook into the slip knot back of the knitting needle. Put hook under yarn and pull a loop through the slip knot. Still hold slip knot with thumb and first finger of left hand (step 2).
* Bring the crochet hook in front of the knitting needle; wrap, and draw a loop through the loop on the crochet hook (step 3).
* With first finger of left hand throw the yarn back over point of knitting needle (step 4), and make another stitch with the crochet hook.
* Continue doing this until the number of stitches wanted are cast on the needle. Slip the last loop on the crochet hook over the point of the knitting needle.

Knitting

Knitting is a form of textile making that utilizes two straight sticks, called needles, and creates fabric by weaving yarn or another thread around itself. Unlike crochet, it can be done either by hand or by machine.

Welcome to the Open Stitch Dictionary. This site aims to be a complete, creative commons reference for stitches for crochet, knitting, embroidery, and other types of needlework. We currently in beta and registration is closed, but information will be added soon.

==Why public domain?==

I believe that because handicafts, and especially textile and needleworking crafts, have been with the human race since the beginning of our history, that knowledge about them should be available and free to everyone. I have no issue with the authors and artists who have created beautiful instructional and pattern books for sale, but I do not believe you should have to pay to read and own anything about how to make things for yourself. Needleworking belongs to the human race as a whole, and should be accessible to everyone regardless of where or who they are.

[[Category: crochet]]

Crochet is a method of textile making that uses a single hook and different types of knots that are woven together to make a complete item or garment. It can be used to make clothing, accessories, toys (often called [[amigurumi]]), and anything else that can be made from fabric. Perhaps the best known application of the craft is the [[Granny Square]], which has many different variations and can be used as the foundation for almost any object. There are also several different alternative kinds of crochet that differ in the way the fabric is constructed. See the sections below for explanations of each.

Abbreviations in crochet patterns are often differentiated between American terms and UK/European terms. This guide will use American terminology primarily, but UK terms will be noted in parentheses.

=== Basic Stitches ===

* [[Chain stitch]]
* [[Slip stitch]]
* [[Single crochet]]
* [[Half-double crochet]]
* [[Double crochet]]
* [[Triple crochet]]
* [[Slanting stitch]]
* [[Cross stitch]]
* [[Cross treble stitch]]

=== Pattern stitches ===

* Wind the cotton twice round the needle as for a long treble
* Insert the needle into the stitch in which the first half of the cross treble is to be worked
* Wind the cotton round the needle, draw the cotton through as a loop
* Wind the cotton again round the needle and cast off together with the same the loop on the needle and the loop formed by throwing the cotton forward
* You have now 3 loops left on the needle, 1 of which has been formed by winding the cotton round the needle. Missing these, wind the cotton again round the needle
* Miss the 2 next stitches of the foundation chain, and draw a loop through the third stitch.
* You have now 5 loops on the needle. Always cast off 2 loops at a time till only 1 loop remains on the needle.
* Work 2 chain stitches (if you wish to have the stitches more or less) slanting
* Work 1, 2, or 3 chain stitches, missing, of course, the same number of foundation chain
* Work 1 treble stitch, inserting the needle, as shown by the arrow on No. 231, into the 2 cross chain of the completed treble stitch.

*Keep on working in this way until you have made a row of single crochet stitches.

====Alternate instructions====
Insert the hook under the two threads that make up the stitch you are connecting to. Yarn over once the needle is through, wind the cotton round the needle again, and draw it through the two loops on the needle.

Crochet is a method of textile making that uses a single hook and different types of knots that are woven together to make a complete item or garment. It can be used to make clothing, accessories, toys (often called [[amigurumi]]), and anything else that can be made from fabric. Perhaps the best known application of the craft is the [[Granny Square]], which has many different variations and can be used as the foundation for almost any object. There are also several different alternative kinds of crochet that differ in the way the fabric is constructed. See the sections below for explanations of each.

Abbreviations in crochet patterns are often differentiated between American terms and UK/European terms. This guide will use American terminology primarily, but UK terms will be noted in parentheses.

Draw the needle through the back part of a foundation chain stitch, or in the course of the work through the back part of a stitch of the preceding row, wind the cotton round the needle, and draw it through the stitch and loop on the needle. The illustration shows a number of slip stitches, the last of which is left quite loose; the arrow marks the place where the needle is to be inserted for the next stitch.

Chain stitch

==Instructions==

The chain stitch is a foundation stitch on which completed projects are formed, and often the first line of stitches in the pattern.

===Written===

[[File:FoundationChain1.jpg | thumb]] Form a loop with the cotton or other material with which you work, take it on the needle, and hold the cotton as for knitting on the forefinger and other fingers of the left hand. The crochet-needle is held in the right hand between the thumb and forefinger, as you hold a pen in writing.

Hold the end of the cotton of the loop between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, wind the cotton once round the needle by drawing the needle underneath the cotton from left to right, catch the cotton with the hook of the needle and draw it as a loop through the loop already on the needle, which is cast off the needle by this means and forms one chain stitch.

The drawing the cotton through the loop is repeated until the foundation chain has acquired sufficient length. When enough chain stitches have been made, take the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, so that these fingers are always close to and under the hook of the needle. Each stitch must be loose enough to let the hook of the needle pass easily through. All foundation chains are begun with a loop.
