Learn Crochet Stitches & Techniques
From holding your first hook to mastering the star stitch, I will show you how to turn yarn into art. Join me for a workshop that is all about chai, gup shup, and steady stitches.
Crochet is my gentle pause. This picture shows a work-in-progress piece using front and back post treble crochet, a technique that creates this lovely, textured, cable-like pattern.
Assembling these little crochet rosebuds is a lesson in patience. Each petal and leaf is made separately and then carefully put together. It’s a mood-booster to see them come to life.
A simple two-toned granny square. Crocheting has taught me the beauty of learning and unlearning. Every stitch is a lesson in patience and growth, and there's beauty in these simple moments.
I love trying new things. This weekend, I experimented with the floret stitch, which is a beautiful combination of double crochets and slip stitches. Making this small patch felt so good.
Did you know there are different ways to join granny squares? Here I'm showing two styles. One gives a sleeker finish perfect for a card pouch, while the other creates more space for a coin purse.
Here’s another way to edge a granny square pouch. This time I tried a back loop single crochet, which gives this nice bumpy texture. Adding a contrast color makes it even more beautiful.
I recently discovered the beautiful star stitch and instantly fell in love. You carefully pick up five loops, secure them, and it creates this gorgeous star pattern. It's perfect for headbands and pouches.
The Single Crochet (SC) is one of the first stitches you'll learn. It's a short, dense stitch that's perfect for creating sturdy fabrics for toys and accessories.
The Half Double Crochet (HDC) is a versatile stitch that's taller than a single crochet but shorter than a double crochet. It creates a wonderful texture and works up projects a little faster.
The Double Crochet (DC) is a fundamental stitch that you'll use all the time, especially for projects like blankets and granny squares. It creates a looser, more flexible fabric.
About Learn the Magic: Stitches & Techniques
I keep my workshop batches tiny—only 4 to 6 people—because learning to crochet is about physical feedback. You need someone to show you exactly how to hold the hook and how to tension the yarn so your hands do not cramp. You will not just be watching a demo; you will have me right there guiding your stitches until the pattern finally makes sense.
Crochet is my therapy, and I want it to be yours too. Whether you are struggling to understand why your swatch is curling or you just want to learn the difference between a half double crochet and a double crochet, we break it all down in a way that feels like hanging out with friends. We cover the main stitches that form the foundation of almost every project you will ever make. From the basics like the single crochet to creating beautiful textures like the floret or star stitch, you get hands-on experience in a relaxed setting. I provide a full kit with ergonomic hooks so you do not have to worry about buying the right gear before you even know if you like it. My 10-hour weekend courses in Delhi NCR are designed for people who want to really get the hang of it, moving from holding a hook for the first time to reading patterns and finishing your own project. And if you are far away, my live virtual sessions bring the same gup shup and real-time correction to your living room.
Crochet Kala
I am just a regular girl with a serious crochet addiction. I have taught everyone from total beginners to those who just wanted to improve their technique, and I honestly think there is nothing a little yarn and some chai cannot fix. My goal is for you to walk away not just with a project, but with the confidence to start your next one on your own.
