single crochet hat patterns - these are the basics

The love of history, and the ever revolving fashion cycle have helped to renew popularity of this 19th century handcraft. Crochet is an art which has caught up with women who have a flair for creativity.

In the 16th century nuns taught the craft to their students and it became a recognised accomplishment of a high-born lady. Many people find that crochet can reduce stress levels. The benefit of saving money on what you are able to make by hand is also a plus.

Believe me, it's better to be safe than sorry as there is nothing worse than running out of yarn and finding that the yarn store has run out of your batch. For instance the first chain, the in use loop on the hook and the to be used stitch running with the row. So all you need to get going is to find a pattern that includes the stitches that you know, the materials and the right crochet hook or hooks and you are good to go.

A free crochet pattern for an afghan cover is not only a great way to start, but it is also fun. Just take a trip to any store that carries craft materials and patterns.
