Crochet tu sebenarnya aktiviti mengait secara halus. Bahan-bahannya adalah benang kait yg tebal sikit dari benang biasa. Pastu kait dengan menggunakan Crook head pen (CHP). Kalau contohnya korang jenis tangan kanan, tangan kanan pegang CHP, tangan kiri kawal benang. Kalau kidal sebaliknya. Lebih mudah rasanya kalau macam tu.
Benang-benang kait ni paling biasa dekat Malaysia ni. Kalau benang-benang kait lain dekat negara luar, ada jenis benang kait jeans, benang kait baju kain cotton. So, ni adalah contoh benang-benang kait utk Crochet:

Atas: Benang kait nylon Bawah: Benang kait milk cotton |
Beza dia benang kait nylon ni senang nak kait sebab dia tak senang terurai. Tapi hasilnya akan jadi kecik. Jadi kalau nak kait topi, ambil masa lama.
Benang kait milk cotton pulak lebih besar tapi senang terurai bila tengah buat tu. Jadi kena hati-hati. Kalau dah siap boleh matikan ikatan tali terus supaya tak terurai.
Kalau korang nak beli, boleh beli dekat shopee sebab dekat shopee lagi murah dari lazada. Boleh search : Yarn milk cotton atau Yarn nylon.
Lepastu, korang kena kenal CHP pulak iaitu Crook Head Pen untuk mengait benang ni. Boleh beli jugak dekat shopee atau lazada. Search je Crook Pen. Ada 2 jenis tau. Jangan tersalah beli. 1 jenis besi, 1 lagi jenis plastik. Biasanya yg jenis besi ni batangnya lebih halus dari yg plastik. Yg besi biasanya untuk kait benda yang lebih kecil. Dan yg plastik utk kait benda yg lebih besar. Tapi untuk permulaan, boleh beli Crook Pen yang plastik dan saiz besar. Saya syorkan saiz medium 3mm atau 4mm. Ni contoh Crook Pen:

Crook Pen jenis plastik/besar |
Kalau dah pro tu boleh je guna yg besi. Lagi laju kait. Jenis benang pun boleh mempengaruhi saiz CHP jugak. Kalau benang kait jenis nylon, boleh guna CHP saiz 1mm atau 2mm yg lebih kecil. Kalau benang kait milk cotton boleh guna CHP saiz besar sikit.
Itu sahaja perkongsian dari saya. Harap membantu!

Crochet is an activity of knitting using yarn and crook head pen. Knitting has so many type and one of them is crocheting. Crochet is the basic name of this activity. So basically, in the making of crochet you'll need to use your right hand for crook pen and the left hand to handle the yarn used. And vice versa.
The common yarns used in Malaysia is nylon and milk cotton type. If other country, they would use like jeans yarn or cloth cotton yarn. So this is example of the yarn:

Above: Nylon yarn Below: Milk cotton yarn |
The different of these yarn is the nylon yarn is smaller than the milk cotton yarn. The nylon is hardly to tangle however the outcome will become very small than expected. The milk cotton is easy to tangle up therefore after finish the crochet, you'll need to tie knot and cut off the yarn.
If you want to buy the yarn, you can search at shopee because the price there is very cheaper than lazada. Just type Milk cotton yarn or nylon yarn.
Then, you will need to know the CHP which is stand for Crook Head Pen for crocheting. You can also buy it from Shopee or Lazada. Just search Crook Pen. There are 2 types of the CHP. Don't get confused by this! There are the iron type and another one is plastic type. The iron one usually for crocheting the smaller things. And the plastic one usually for crocheting the big things. For beginners, you can choose the plastic one because it is lighter and bigger. I recommend the CHP size of 3mm or 4mm for beginners. These are the types of CHP:

Crook Pen plastic type |
The type of yarn is important for you to decide what size of CHP you're going to use. If you're using nylon yarn, you will need CHP size 1mm to 2mm. If you're using milk cotton yarn, then you'll need CHP size 3mm or 4mm. If you're getting pro at it, you can crochet faster.
That's all from me. Thank you!
Hai.
Dah lama sangat rasanya PKPB ni walaupun 14 hari. Dalam tempoh ni aku tak keluar rumah langsung. Beli barang dapur ke apa pergi kedai runcit jalan kaki dekat sebelah rumah je pon. Keluar 200 meter lebih dari kawasan rumah tu tak pernah lagi setakat 14 hari ni.
Lepas tak boleh nak sambung penpal sbb pos tutup international courier service, aku cuba lah cari hobi baru. Takkan nak tengok henfon je dah bosan. Bila google jumpa lah kait kait benang. Namanya Crochet. Cara kait dia menggunakan satu rod yg hujungnya berbentuk cangkuk.
So mula PKP Mac haritu aku start lah beli benang kait 'yarn' dengan cangkuk dia tu 'crook hood pen'. Belajar mula-mula sakit tangan sebab nak belajar masuk benang simpul-simpul. Lama-lama cuba dah boleh dah kait bentuk-bentuk. Senang je. Boleh try crochet ni kalau dah tak tau nak buat apa dekat rumah. Hehehe. So hasilnya aku buat bentuk tikus untuk kucing aku. Comel tak?
Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera.
Pertama sekali, aku nak jelaskan dekat sini kenapa aku padam pos aku pasal 'Cara menghantar surat ke luar negara'. Info yg aku bagi amatlah berguna untuk sesetengah orang. Tapi aku nak jelaskan dekat sini yang info-info dalam posting aku tu buat masa ni tidak mengikut keadaan sekarang yg sedang dilanda COVID-19.
Keadaan COVID-19 antara sebab Pos Malaysia menghentikan SEMUA international post mail dan package dari Malaysia ke luar negara kecuali Singapura sehingga diberitahu. Jadi, kalau korang nak rujuk harga setem untuk surat, poskad, parcel, aku minta maaf sebab tak dapat bantu. Aku terpaksa privatekan posting tu dulu. Sebabnya, ramai yg reply dkt posting tu "KENAPA BARANG SAYA TAK SAMPAI LAGI?" pada waktu COVID-19 sekarang, pos memang tak jalan. Jadi barang korang sama ada tersekat dekat KLIA hub atau di center Pos Malaysia. Disebabkan ramai yg rujuk dekat posting aku dalam waktu yg macam sekarang ni, dorang konfiden je hantar parcel padahal aku dah bagitahu yg Pos Malaysia dah maklumkan penutupan international mail dan parcels.
Jadi, harap korang faham. Maaf tak dapat bantu korang yg mana-mana barang tersangkut dekat Pos tu. Korang boleh call terus customer service dia. Aku bukan pegawai pos atau orang dalam pos jadi aku tak tahu status barang korang. Jangan bagi no tracking number korang disini sebab tu adalah privasi korang.
Aku janji aku akan update pasal harga surat terkini dan poskad LEPAS pos kembali operasi hantar surat ke luar negara semula. Sekian terima kasih kerana memahami.

Hello guys,
First of all, I want to explain why I deleted my post about 'How to send mail to international'. The information in my posting is based from my experience and I know it helped a lot of you guys who wants to send mail and parcel to other countries. In this posting, I want to highlight that the information I wrote in the deleted post was not resourceful right now especially in COVID-19 situation.
In COVID-19 situation, Pos Malaysia has stopped their courier services to international countries except Singapore until further notice. So if you want to refer how much for mail per weight, or how much for postcard, I'm really sorry I can't help you. I had to private all the recent postings about mails and stuffs. There were many people commented in those posts "WHY MY MAIL DOESN'T REACH TO RECIPIENT YET?" in COVID-19 situation, pos is not available. So your mails or parcels might be stuck at KLIA hub or pos centre. Since so many people refers to my posting in this current situation, and they confidently send their parcels to international eventhough I've already inform in my posting about Pos Malaysia has stopped their international courier services until further notice.
So I hope you guys understand. I'm sorry because I can't help you in this situation. You can call Pos Malaysia customer service regarding your unsent parcels or mails. I'm not a post officer so I don't know how it worked. I just write a post based on my experience. I ask you politely not to reveal you tracking number here because it is very confidential.
I promise when all the situation has comes to an end or AFTER Pos inform they will open back their international courier services, I will write more about how to send mail. Thank you for understanding.
