crocheting question

**lisettelovebug** · 03-10-2008, 03:22 PM

I have a question about crocheting. I am relatively new at it and the instructions have me making squares and sewing them together. How do I sew them together? Do I use a regular needle and thread or is there a special way to do this? any help would be appreciated. thankd

I've always used a big needle. I dont know if they are called sewing needles or rug needles or what they are called. The hole ( eye) of the needle is big enough to easily put yarn through it.
hope that helps.

I either slip stitch them together with a crochet hook, or I use a tapestry needle and yarn to sew them together.

I do like sunshine. But mostly I avoid making things that have to be sewn together

Yep a tapestry (sp) needle is what you want, size 16 is a good one. I prefer steel needles over plastic like these: http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.j...&source=search You can also get them in plastic, most Wally's carry them.
