This helps you control the work. Also, be sure to pull each new stitch up onto the working area of the hook; otherwise your starting chain stitches will become too tight.<br \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The starting stitch for most projects, the chain stitch is one that all crocheters need to master.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":7445,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":"","_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[]},"categories":[656,490,434,435],"tags":[658,444,449,450,586],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jessyandmelissa.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2236"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jessyandmelissa.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jessyandmelissa.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jessyandmelissa.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jessyandmelissa.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2236"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/www.jessyandmelissa.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5493,"href":"https:\/\/www.jessyandmelissa.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2236\/revisions\/5493"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jessyandmelissa.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jessyandmelissa.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jessyandmelissa.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jessyandmelissa.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
