  ABOUT ACCREDITATION Accreditation is a self-assessment procedure that allows institutions to demonstrate that they are meeting a set of research-based performance requirements.

  DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CROCHETING, KNITTING, AND MACRAME These three skills can be tricky sometimes because they all use the methods of stitching yarn together, just in different styles but do not be confused. check the differences below. Crocheting vs Knitting The stitches in knitting make a "V" shape. Crochet stitches are more akin to knots. Knitting creates loops by transferring a group of loops from one needle to the next while the stitches are kept in place on the needle. Crochet hooks the loops together directly on the material with a single hook. Crochet is considerably easier to work with than knitting because of this significant difference. Crocheting vs Macrame Crochet and macrame are two very distinct crafts. Macrame is produced by tying ornamental knots with many strings without the use of any equipment other than your fingertips.

  WHAT ARE   THE BASIC RULES OF CROCHETING? Increasing –  T his is the process of increasing the number of stitches in the row or round.   Crocheting in Loops -Unless the pattern specifies otherwise, always crochet across both loops of a stitch. The Front Loop - it is the one in front of you. A stitch does not include the loop on the hook. You may raise the hook size to achieve a bigger blouse size if you're following a design for a blouse or top (if multiples of stitches are not mentioned in the pattern). Check which crochet terminology is used in the design you're following. The back loop is the one on the other side of the loop. A Front or Back Post stitch is stitched around the “stem” of the stitch.   Turning Chains : These are used to make the stitch heights equal. The crochet piece will curl if you don't use them, and the edges will not be even. The chain will get longer as the stitches become bigger. As a result, sl=0 ch, sc=1 ch, hdc=...
