How many stiches do you need to crochet a chevron stitch?
A chevron stitch in crochet is a wavy line. This is formed in multiple of from 6 to 12 stitches. The top is formed by increasing, the bottom is formed by decreasing. Another word for chevron might be ripple stitch. There are hundreds of different ways to make a ripple. To decide how many stitches you need, you need to decide what pattern you are going to make. The top of the ripple is called the hill and the bottom is the valley. The hill is generally formed by increasing as noted above. The valley can be formed by decreasing or it can be formed by skipping stitches. The number of stitches used to form the valley can vary as can the number of stitches skipped. Before figuring your foundation chain, you need to decide how many stitches you want between hill and valley. I discuss figuring out the foundation chain for a ripple at Crochet Cabana, using the skip stitch method, but the same general idea could be used for another method. Generally, once you know what you want, it is fairly straight forward to figure out how many stitches you need to begin with. Don't forget to account for turning chains.

What does purl mean in crochet?
As far as I'm aware, there is no "purl" in crochet, but there is in knitting.Knitting has basically two stitches, a "knit" and a "purl."In a knit stitch, the yarn is drawn through the previous row, by passing through from below. In a purl stitch, the yarn is drawn through the previous row, from above. This creates an effect, where on one side, a knit stitch appears to be knit, and on the other side, the same stitch appears to be purled. This explains why directions for knitting often speak of the "right (or front) side" or the "wrong (or back) side" of a project.Crochet has stitches which are a slip stitch, a chain stitch, a single crochet, a half crochet, a double crochet, a triple crochet, a double treble crochet, and even a triple treble crochet. I have not seen any patterns which call for a larger than triple treble crochet stitch.
How do you join ripple crochet to straight crochet?
Choose which one you want to have as the base, the ripple or the straight. The easiest way is to attach to the ripple and work and increase through the low point of the ripple until you have the same amount of stitches as in the first row of the straight or the width is the same. Then just whipstitch together, if this isn't enough info then contact my message board and I'll help however I can.

How do you crochet with your finger?
To crochet using your fingers only, use the same procedure as when using a hook, but just use your fingers instead. You will end up using your forefinger as a "hook" holding the parts of the stitch on your finger, and "hooking" your finger to "draw through" the material to make the stitch. I would hazard that the "best" stitches to make using a finger crochet technique would be the shorter stitches--slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. I think that with taller stitches, you might begin to not have room on your forefinger to "hold" the loops necessary to make the stitches. Look at the attached video link and see finger crocheting single crochet stitches is being done.

What is the difference in crochet and interweave crochet?
Both techniques differ in the tool used. Knitting uses needles which hold "rows" of live stitches, whereas traditional crochet uses a single hook for the one live stitch. The resulting fabric is different in weight and overall appearance. Crochet fabric is thicker and stronger than knitted fabric, even using the same yarn and same size hook/needles. The difference comes from the fact that even the simplest crochet stitch is made of 2 loops, wrapped around one or two strands of yarn, and knitted stitches are a single loop in a single previous loop (single strand of yarn).
