dryfly purist 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 This is a step by step of Crocheting (not shure how to pronounce it). I`ve used far thicker antron yarn than normaly is used, just so it can be shown well on the picture. When you do this, split the antron yarn in 1/3 of the original thcikness for mayflies emergers but usually don`t split the yarn for caddis emergers. If you use to colors make shure the color you want on top of the fly comes on the right side of the hook TY INN TO PIECES OF ANTRON YARN TIE IT BACK TO THE HOOK GAP TURN THE VISE AROUND TOWARDS YOU, WITH THE HOOK EYE POINTING DIRECTLY TOWARDS YOU. MAKE A LOOP WITH THE DARK YARN (TOP YARN) OVER THE HOOK AND UNDER THE YARN ON THE OTHER SIDE. TAKE THE CROCHET NEEDLE DOWN TO THE LOOP HOLE, UNDER THE HOOK AND GO UP AND GET THE YARN ON THE OTHER SIDE. TAKE IT WITH YOU THROUG THE LOOP ON THE DOWNSIDE OF THE HOOK. DRAG IT THROUGH...... LIKE THIS TIGHT KNOT.... REAL TIGHT NOW MAKE A NEW LOOP BUT THIS TIME UNDER THE HOOK AND OVER THE YARN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HOOK.... GO WITH THE NEEDLE FROM UNDER THE LOOP, THROUG IT AND OVER THE HOOK.... GET THE YARN FROM THE OTHER SIDE BY TAKING IT WITH YOU OVER THE HOOK AND TRHOUGH THE LOOP LIKE THIS..... TAKE BOTH YOUR HANDS AND MAKE ANOTHER TIGHT KNOT.... KEEP UP THE SAME PROCEDURE FROM PICTURE ONE AND IT WILL BECOME SOMETHING LIKE THIS........ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Futzer 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 Hello Terje, excellent step by steps, and the photography is very easy to see and follow. You have helped many new tyers to learn this technique, I am certain. Keep up the fine work. Crocheting is pronounced Kroh shee ing, if you join at www.dictionary.reference.com it has the option to hear the pronunciation on your computer. Hope that helped. Cheers Futzer.

Harold Ray 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2011 Terje, Thanks again for posting this step-by-step. I am doing more and more woven flies using different methods, and this is one I was having problems with, until I remembered your tutorial. Thanks again!! I'm headed to Crested Butte, Colorado, http://www.visitcrestedbutte.com/index.cfm, for Christmas and New Years along with all of my family which includes four young grandchildren, 7 to 12 years of age, four fly vises, lots of embroidery thread, feathers, and deer hair. Between skiing, eating, relaxing, and enjoying life, we are going to be weaving a lot of flies. I'm going to learn your method well (I hope) and teach it to the kids. They love tying and fishing!! I live in sun-baked, hot in the summer, 100 to 110 or 115 degrees in the summer, Texas, but I've had a place in Crested Butte for 31 years, a place where the coldest I've seen it is -30 below and white outs while skiing, and never really hot.
