Crochet collar for beginners. Tips for beginners
If you have recently mastered the basics of knitting, learned to hold and choose a hook, pick up yarn for it, then with lace items you should be very careful.
Always make sure that the loops are the same size. You should not tighten them too much or, conversely, weaken them too much. If your crocheted collar in places will have large loops, and in some places narrow, then it will be sloppy, curved. The pattern on such a product will look blurry, and the edges may wrap when worn. Always pick up yarn that will not fluff, and grabbing it will be easy. If you suddenly picked up the wrong hook, then this can be understood by several signs. The thread you grab flies. Or with tight knitting, you still have too big holes in the work. Crocheting always involves knowing the basic loops and posts. In openwork things, as a rule, several columns are always used. Therefore, if you have not yet learned how to make double crochets, half-crochets with or without crochets , purl knitting and crocheting, then study and practice how to make them.
