I need really basic explanations hereI'm more a knitter than a crochet-er.It's for edging on sleeves and a colar of a shrug, it goes as follows:Attach yarn at end of seam, 1 sc in same place, ch 3, 1 sc in 2nd st from hook, 1 sc in next st of ch, skip 1/8 inch space, sc in next space , repeat from
Attach yarn at end of seam start with a slip knot on your hookInsert the hook into the end of the seam, yarn over and draw up a loop and through the loop on the hook(Only one yarn over.) Chain 3 I hope you can get that 1 single crochet in 2nd stitch from hook insert hook in to the 2nd chain that you made, yarn over and draw throughThere are now two loops on hookYarn over and draw through both loopsYou just made a single crochet (or a sc)1 single crochet in the next stitch of chain make a single crochet in the first chain that you madeskip 1/8 inch space your next stitch will be int the sleeve/collar an 1/8 inch away from where you joined the yarn to the sleeve sc in next space insert the hook into the sleeve, make a single crochet now repeat all the stitches betwee the until you make the round or come to the end of the collar If you are working to attach to fabric, it's easier to do a blanket stitch around the edge then crochet into the blanket stitchI would make the stitching every 1/4 and you will do two sc in each stitchThat way you won't be punching through the fabric with a blunt crochet hook and messing up your tension.
Yes they can be restored, with a lot of elbow greaseStart out by washing off all the loose stuff, then scouring them with steel wool and a light cooking oilYou may have to do this several times to remove all the built up gunkWhen you have them cleaned off, you will need to treat (temper) them by putting a heavy coat of cooking oil inside them and then warming them up until the oil just starts to smoke, again you may need to do that a couple of timesGood luck, and enjoy them.
WELLI wrote a very long note about how I THINK you can, although I'd probably use Awesome cleaner (you can buy for $1 at Dollar Tree), b/c it melts off grease like you wouldn't believe, so I can only imagine it would help you get that nasty gunk offBut instead of all the stuff I HAD written, I recommend using this website to get you better ideasThe only thing extra I'd say is to use that big-type salt to scrub all that junk off before following these tipsGood luck! PLEASE let us know how it goes!!!! EDIT - I just read what the first person saidI would totally agree!!!! They explained it very well.
They need to be burned in a fire to clean them well.
