[Nfb-krafters-korner] crochet help?

[Theresa Taylor]

As you are holding the working yarn taught....the hook is going in the same direction and you put it under the working arm and then as Cindy mentioned you use your wrist to get a grabbing motion going...my words...smile and this results in hooking the yarn and then pulling it through the slip knot in kind of the same step.
HOpe this helps.

You rotate your wrist quickly when you are using the crochet hook.  When the hook is up (meaning the slit of the crochet hook is up) the yarn is not able to fall out of the hook.  Make sure you are doing a flip of the wrist rotating the hook up so the yarn will not fall off the hook.
