• Answer:

  I have a really easy and fun time crocheting, I explain my way of handling the yarn or thread and the hook as freehand [ a freehand crocheter, I have seen other on the computer do very near to all I do ], some crocheters hold the hook as a pencil, that is a limited method of crochet for me, [ I hold my hook as I would hold spatula ]. My hand is like around the hook and I am right handed. On my left hand I hold the yarn or thread so it gives me plenty of freedom and ease in crocheting really fast, yarn or thread is just under ring and middle finger and brought over index with thumb holding it on the end of the middle finger as work area, I pinch a loop in yarn, insert hook front to back through the pinched loop, yarn over hook back to front to draw a loop through pinched loop, yarn over hook [ yo, from back to the front ], and draw a loop through the loop on hook, pull yarn end to tighten slip knot loop around hook, repeat yarn over [ yo ] hook and draw a loop through the loop [ lp ] on the hook for each chain stitch [ ch or ch st ], on the foundation to number of chain stitches needed. The basic stitch are now slip stitch [ sl st, insert hook in stitch, yo, draw loop through stitch and loop [ lp ] on hook]. Single crochet [ sc, insert hook in stitch, yo, draw a loop through stitch, yo, draw a loop through 2 loops on hook ]. Half double crochet [ hdc, yo, insert hook in st, yo, draw a loop through st, yo, draw off 3 loops ]. Double crochet [ dc work same as hdc to 3 loops om hook, yo, draw off 2 loops twice ]. Triple or treble crochet [ tr, yarn over hook twice, insert hook in stitch, draw a lp through, 4 lps on hook, yo, take off 2 lps, 3 times ]. Double triple or treble [ dtr, 3 lps over hook, draw lp from st, 5 lps on hook, yo, draw off 2 lps, 4 times ] and learning abbreviations is very important.
