Magic Loop

The magic loop is a technique used to start crocheting in the round. It involves creating a loop with the yarn and working the first stitches into this loop.

Single Crochet

The single crochet stitch is one of the most basic crochet stitches. It creates a tight and sturdy fabric and is often used for amigurumi projects.

Slip Stitch

The slip stitch is used to join rounds or stitches together and create a seamless transition.

Chain Stitch

The chain stitch is the foundation of crochet. It creates a series of connected loops and is used to start rows or create spaces within a project.

Double Crochet

The double crochet stitch is taller than the single crochet stitch and creates a looser fabric. It is commonly used in various crochet projects.

Half Double Crochet

The half double crochet stitch is in between the single and double crochet stitches in height. It creates a fabric with medium height and is versatile in many crochet projects.

Now that we are familiar with the basic crochet stitches, let's move on to the step-by-step instructions for creating the pineapple keychain.
