How To: Do crochet with four strands of yarn

This is a basic crochet tutorial for those of you just starting off on the road to granny square and Afgan bliss. Using four strings of four ply yarn, you'll learn how to knot and loop your way into a circular, almost snail-like pattern.

This tightly woven pattern will be a nice challenge and will help loosen your fingers for more highly detailed work so you don't have to use a stunt double to do it like you usually do.
