    Other than the basic chain, I've always found that the single crochet is not only the easiest to learn but also the easiest to teach.

    Once you've learned the basic single crochet stitch, all other stitches can be learned based on that.

    Once you have learned the basics of crochet I have found the Herringbone stitch is one of the easiest plus most surprising stitches I have learned. It is just a variation of the DC and what a huge difference it makes. You need to do about 4 rows to see the pattern well, but I love it. I have made 4 or 5 afghans and several scarves using it. Check it out on youtube.

    I think the easiest stitch I've learned is the crocodile stitch! And it's fun and quick too = )

    For me, it has been the single crochet and the double crochet. It's amazine how much you can do with just those two stitches!

    I agree with you Catdoll, it amazes me also how much you can do with just different combinations of the SC and DC stitches.

    For a single stitch, I think the single crochet or double crochet are the easiest. For the easiest groupings of stiches, the basic pattern of either the ripple or the granny square is the simplest. I have taught all of these to several people and they catch on fairly well.

    oh man I wish!! The ripple still is the hardest thing for me! It's crazy! I can screw a pattern up in no time when it comes to the ripple!

    Very true Catdoll. Without a good foundation of the basic stitches, no others are even possible!

    Don't feel bad Rack,
    The first thing I ever crochet was the ripple, a lady showed me how to do it one afternoon for a short period of time and then she moved. I ended up with the largest fan shape you have ever seen.....hah!!! To this day I haven't gone back and even tried it again. This new one called the Wave or Lazy Wave is the closest I have come to it. It is worked in DC however and is much easier. I found it on Youtube, video was on mikeysmail site. Check it out, it is very pretty when done. And the video makes it so much easier to understand and follow along with. There are a lot of different patterns there to pick from. I am also going to try one called the Side Saddle stitch.
