Apa itu Crochet? (What is Crochet)
Wednesday, October 28, 2020Crochet 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 besi |

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!
Translation:
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 iron type |
![]() |
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!
