I recently got a message from a friend of mine saying “I desperately want to learn hairpin crochet but nobody seems to run classes on it”
Now, it just so happens one of my favorite types of crochet is hairpin crochet. Why you may ask?
Because, you can make beautiful broad shawls, scarves, intricate dollies and tablecloths that look very different to traditional crochet with that fluffy soft look.
Hairpin Crochet is extremely versatile and once you get the hang of it, it’s quite easy to do it while you’re watching TV or listening to the radio.
So, I’ve decide to dedicate this post to helping people learn hairpin crochet.
The above video is a sneak peek from a project that I was roped into working on called Keys To Crochet. This is a really useful Hairpin Crochet Stitch called the Single Crochet.
You can make the spine bigger by using a Double Crochet or a Treble Crochet which will give you amazing textures and results.
I wanted to keep this post from becoming a history lesson as it is very old and make it more of a how-to post, but if you’re interested in knowing more about hairpin crochet you can find some great info here:

Hairpin crochet is a one of many variations on the traditional crochet method and gives our projects a very beautiful and delicate look.
I hope you enjoyed this video, I’m so excited to have it up.
Grab a hook and give it a go for yourself.
Happy Hooking
