book baby afghan crochet

Crochet is a great hobby to take up. Are you wondering if that trip to your favourite craft store was a waste of time? Are you just wondering what else you can do with 12 coloured crochet hooks?

It is very important that you know how to read the crochet pattern before you start. The first thing to consider is the type of hooks or hooks you'll be using. Just be sure that when first attempting to use crochet instructions to complete a project that you choose a beginner s pattern that uses basic stitches, simple shaping, and unadorned lines.

I have known three housewives who have gone into crocheting, first as a hobby, and then into business, making sweatshirts, shawls and pillowcases in different designs and different colors. Crochet is not that difficult once you get the hang of it. The beauty of making such a personal gift for someone you love is that they won t ever notice the mistakes.

Crochet may seem complicated at first, but is really simple once you learn how. Once you have practiced and feel you are ready to try an easy pattern, you can do a search online for a scarf pattern, which is what most beginners start out with.
