Letters and Numbers - Crochet Tip 41

There are several ways to get letters and numbers on a crochet piece.

1. Cross Stitch - Following a diagram to shape your number or letter
2. Embroidery Stitches - The satin stitch can be used to shape a letter or number and outlined with a running stitch or back stitch.
   
3. Crochet Chain - Crochet a length of chain. Sew the chain on to your crochet piece in the shape of the letter. For thicker letters and numbers, use a row of single crochet or the foundation crochet stitches.
   
4. Chart - Changing colors as you crochet across your row following a diagram. This technique is limited to the basic single, half or double crochet stitches.
