Crochet Learning Path 6 | Crochet Finishes

Essential techniques to join new yarn, start stitches, add borders and edges, and block crochet projects for a neat, finished look.

The sum of any crochet project is only as good as each individual stitch & technique used.

Properly finishing a crochet project is determined by how effective each detail is executed, and how polished your design appears. This course proves that a stunning project is not based on how long you've been crocheting, but in how your work is executed.

This course includes the following 4 lessons:

  1. Yarn Joins: Yarn Joins 101, Adding Yarn, Merging Yarn
  2. Stitch Beginnings: Foundation Stitches, Standing Stitches
  3. Borders & Edging: Stitch Ratio, Corners, Stitch Placement, Border Designs
  4. Blocking Basics: Blocking & Yarn 101, Methods, Took Kits
