Cwm Enfys Crochet

There are many different types of crochet, some you can do with yarn, some you can do with thread and most you can do with both.

Apart from your basic stitches, there are such techniques as Tunisian (called Afghan Crochet in the US), Hairpin Lace and Crotat which all use different types of hooks or additional tools. These, and others, are on the Techniques with Tools page.

I am trying to cover as many as I can, with links to Tutorials (mainly US) where possible.

More Techniques will be added as and when I either get permission to use more pictures or crochet the samples and take the pictures myself.
