Brioche Crochet
Brioche crochet is a technique that adds depth, elasticity and texture to your piece. Please don't be intimidated by the name or the fact that it's a specific technique, because all it takes is a little practice to become familiar with it and be able to create unique pieces with the stitches used in this technique.

Mattress stitch seam
There are various techniques for joining crochet pieces with an invisible seam, but as I like simplicity I'm going to show you a way that can be done from both the wrong and right sides of the piece. In the example below, the piece is positioned with the wrong side facing up, but it can be done on both sides, it just depends on the result you want. If you do it from the right side of the work, that is, with the right side facing you, the result will be reverse mattress stitch, which also has a very nice effect. See here how to do the reverse mattress stitch. It's very easy to make mattress stitch seam on...

Double Chain Cord Foundation
Did you know that there are several ways to start a crochet project? The most common is a simple chain cord. For many projects this is the best choice, especially when the piece needs a more solid edge, such as when the following rows are worked with openwork stitches. It is also faster to work. Okay, but sometimes a more elastic foundation is preferable, for example when you are working a garment, or when the next rows are in similar stitches. You can make this initial base with any of the basic crochet stitches, for example: double chain, half double crochet, double...

Fleegle heel: How to turn heel...Knitting socks.
