Stitches

How do I hold the thread in place in my crochet project?? Please help! 10 pts?

Yes I know this isn't exactly the right section for this question but it is my favorite section and I know there are other mothers out there that know how to crochet...I hope. I am working on a beanie cap for my daughter for the coming season. I am half way almost down the cap and I want to do a different stitch design however I want to hold my thread in place now so that if I don't do the stitch right, I won't mess up the whole hat. Please help! Thanks very much! Linda I KNOW this has nothing to do with Newborn and Baby. That is what I said in the question. I however like this section and figure some moms who know how to crochet could help me. You don't have to be rude! Jeez

1. What has this got to do with 'Newborn and Baby'????? This should be in the 'House and Home' section!
2. hon, i can crochet very well, but the only way to show you how to keep it in place that i know of is to show you how to hold it properly as you are crocheting and then all you do is control the tension as you stitch.....i think again, u need someone to show you or a instructional book to accomplish learning to crochet well...there are sooo many diffferent stitches and ways of putting pieces together, i don't have the words to begin to describe them; go to a craft store and look for the books with patterns; a lot of them, esp the bigger ones have great instructions and illustrations for a beginning crocheter....gl
