Yarn Holds in Crochet: 3 People Holding Yarn Tension 3 Ways

Figuring out how to hold your crochet hook and your yarn, in crochet, can be a bit of a struggle for some, but trying out different yarn tension holds can help you find a comfortable and natural place to start. Both Bonnie and I crochet, but each of us holds our yarn differently, as you will see in the above video. But, you will be presented with THREE ways to hold yarn, as my teenage daughter has a less common way of holding yarn tension with her pointer finger, which also allows her to crochet quickly. We don't want you to think of these crochet holds "have to" holds in crochet. Think of them more as a "starting point". If it doesn't work for you, then just adjust your hold as needed for comfort. It needs to be comfortable and it needs to WORK for you - there really isn't a wrong way to hold the yarn! Figuring out how to hold your yarn in crochet is important because it helps you control and maintain yarn tension while crocheting, and thus enables you to crochet consistent-looking stitches...not too loose and not too tight. You should also try to maintain a relaxed grip on the hook as you crochet to keep a nice, fluid movement.
