the first and last stitch with marker

Despite my efforts, my crocheting skills remain rudimentary as I tend to forget elaborate stitch sequences.

crochet chain stitch for every round for chili crochet

Every round begins with a chain stitch (ch) which serves to elevate the work to the appropriate height. This addresses the balance, tension, evenness, polish, and all finishing touches to the work.

crochet decrease

The reasoning behind our preference for using the invisible decrease is that it helps in achieving a polished appearance for our crochet pieces. In this case, slip your hook to the first back loop of the next two stitches, pull through, wrap around both loops then complete the stitch by wrapping around once more.
