In this lesson, we start bringing crochet charts to life by focusing on two of the most essential stitches: single crochet (sc) and double crochet (dc). I walk you through exactly what their symbols look like, how to recognise them at a glance, and how they translate from chart to hook.
You’ll also learn why crochet charts are often shown in two colours—a simple but powerful visual tool that helps you track your rows, understand stitch placement, and avoid common mistakes. Once you see it in action, it makes reading charts feel far less overwhelming.
To tie it all together, I compare real swatches with their corresponding charts, so you can clearly see how each stitch and row appears both on paper and in your hands. This is where things really click—helping you build confidence in reading charts and understanding how they translate into actual crochet fabric.
By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to recognise basic stitch symbols, follow simple chart sections, and start connecting charts to real-world crochet with ease.
