Crochet is a versatile and rewarding craft that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. One of the most important aspects of crocheting is holding the yarn correctly. There are several different ways to hold the yarn, and the best method for you will depend on your personal preferences and the type of stitch you are using.
The most common way to hold the yarn is called the “pencil grip.” To use the pencil grip, hold the yarn in your non-dominant hand, with the yarn coming from the top of the ball. Wrap the yarn around your index finger and thumb, and then hold the yarn between your thumb and forefinger. Use your middle finger to guide the yarn as you crochet.
