The chain is the most simple of stitches and therefore ideal for practising the all-important hold, which helps create the perfect tension for forming all the following stitches. When my mother taught me to crochet, she followed her grandmother\u2019s lead and helped me to hook metre upon metre of chain before I was shown any further stitches. It was a fantastic foundation for learning the more dif\ufb01cult techniques. Once your chains are looking even and feel comfortable to create, then progressing on to the stitches becomes much easier. If at any point you feel as if you have lost your hold, simply go back to those comforting lengths of chain until your con\ufb01dence returns. My biggest tip is to remember that this wonderful craft is well known for being relaxing and fun, so \ufb01nd a comfy chair, some free time and just enjoy it!
