── ── ★ ｓｕｍ ｍａｒｙ have you ever wanted to learn to crochet? this series is for the beginner- actually, the ABSOLUTE beginner. this is where you can start with no experience and no materials. in these lessons, you'll learn about the importance of materials, how to make the basic stitches, why gauge swatches are so important, how to hold your supplies, and more! ── ── ♯ ｔｈｅ ｐａｒｔｓ follow the parts in order when I release them!
