First Lets Discuss why you would want or need to.
1. If You want a chunky "look" but only have thin yarns on hand, you can crochet with 2 strands of yarn.
This works just fine, I often use 2 strands of WW(4) to replace a Chunky (5).
2. If You want 2 colors of Yarn worked together - This is another great idea.
Using 2 colors or even 3 for a fun colorful look.
3. If you want a thick bulky rug or blanket.
Using 3 or 4 strands can give you a thick and sturdy rug or blanket.
And if you use a Worsted weight, it is washable.
Note: if a pattern calls for bulky and you want to substitute 2 or 3 strands of yarn.
You will want to Make a swatch to make sure it equals out.
Remember not all Worsted Weight yarn is created equal!
Okay, So how do I do Crochet holding 2 or
more stands together.
Basically you crochet the exact say way as 1 strand,
only you are holding the strands together.
If you are using the same color and weight of yarn. and 2 strands of yarn,
You can pull from both ends of the skein, holding the 2 strands together.
Or you can ball up the skein into 2 balls, working 1 strand off each ball.
If you are using 3 strands, you will probably want to use 3 skeins or balls.
It depends on the project when technique I use.
If you have any questions you want answered,
feel free to ask them.
if I do not know the answer,
I will try my best find one for you.
