Crochet Tip #1: Counting Stitches Easily

Stitch Markers

Stitch is a word you often encounter on crochet tutorial videos and crochet patterns. This can be a single crochet (sc) or half double crochet (hdc) or double crochet (dc) and so on. 

In crocheting, particularly with large patterns, counting stitches can be difficult specially if you are still new to the craft. The use of stitch markers is a huge help. Less confusion and stress for you since you can easily count the markers. :)

You can buy stitch markers on craft stores that sells crochet materials or you can use alternatives like safety pins, paper clips, etc.

In my case, I'm using safety pins to mark rows since it's cheaper than buying plenty of stitch markers. :)
