At least once in your crochet journey you will come to the point when you need to make crochet numbers.
And in this post I am going to show you how to make crochet numbers from zero to nine.
I made these numbers when I was making Advent calendar for my daughter and these numbers are perfect for attaching it to your project.
If you are going to use DK yarn and crochet hook at 3mm you will get size of these numbers approximately 2 inches or 5cm.
So, are we ready? 🙂
Tools and materials required:
- DK yarn (any colour)
- 3mm crochet hook (look at these lovely hooks on Amazon)
- Scissors
Abbreviations (I’m using US):
CH – chain
SL ST – slip stitch
DEC – decrease
INC – increase
SC – single crochet
