More Great Information on Crochet From:
Help with crocheting tension?
Okay, I taught myself how to crochet from a book. I can do pretty well if I'm doing straight rows and I pretty much just make scarves and blankets. Well, I watched a You Tube video on how to crochet granny squares and I was having a hard time with it. First of all, I think I taught myself to crochet backwards, and I couldn't see the lady's left hand to see how she was holding her tension, and I just can't figure it out. I found a video of a guy who was explaining tension, but again I couldn't see his hand well enough to see how he had the yarn threaded through his fingers. I think if I could just get this one thing figured out then I can probably do the rest. I know my tension wasn't good because my granny squares were coming out crooked.
If you could explain how to thread the yarn through the fingers. If you can offer a link to a video or diagram, that would be great! Thanks so much!
I've found that the easiest way for me to control my tension takes two steps.
Step one: Pull up a few good lengths of yarn from your ball or skein. This way the yarn is not getting caught up on the way to my fingers and my hand does all of the regulating. If I forget and skip this step, my stitches get tighter and tighter until I realize what is going on or the skein is up in my lap because the yarn's stuck. I had forgotten All About this process when I picked up crocheting myself after years of watching my mom. I could not get my tension consistent until I started this habit.
Step two: Wrap the yarn around my little finger once or twice depending on the yarn. Some yarns slide too easily over my fingers, so they get two wraps. Others are more sturdy so one wrap is sufficient.
If I'm having trouble getting the yarn to move through my hand, lifting my index finger on the hand holding the yarn usually draws up enough slack to keep working comfortably. Obviously this is something that takes time and practice to master. With enough practice, your hands will work through the yarn automatically.
When you are working, if you notice that your stitches are too tight or loose, pull them out. Rather than wasting time finishing something that isn't going to be as perfect as you want and using up yarn, just pull out the stitches that are off. Sure you'll lose a few minutes of work, but you'll have the results you want. Getting your tension right takes time, and going back to do the work correctly will help you learn. Of course not every piece is going to be perfect, so if your work is still useable then by all means keep it. But otherwise its time to start backtracking when you notice a problem has developed.
