BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Crochet How do I connect fabric to crocheting?

I am trying to figure out what kind of stitch this is and how to do it. Here is a picture of it. [img]http://www.yellowlabelkids.com/images/crocheted%20bl...[/img]

My grandmother used to use a small crochet hook to just poke through the fabric and draw the yarn through. Then once she had the first row done, she would switch to a larger hook that was the right size for the yarn.

You can accomplish that several ways, here is how I do itBellaOnline ALERT: Raw URLs are not allowed in these forums for security reasons. Please use UBB code. If you don't know how to do UBB code just post here for help - we will help out!

Hi, I'd simply work a row of blanket stitch around the fabric and then crochet into that. I've got an article about this on the main BellaOnline Crochet page.

Remember to use a good firm yarn for the blanket stitch!

The EdgeryDoo would work very nicely on jean material.
