crochet afghan pattern books

Crocheting is the process of creating fabric from a length of cord, yarn, or thread with a specific type of a hook known as the crochet hook. Crochet patterns can look confusing at first.

If you know how to crochet, then you already are ahead of the game. When buying yarn always make sure you choose balls of yarn with the same dye lot or dye batch number. Crochet means hook in French and this is the name given to the craft amongst French, Italians and Spanish speakers.

And if you are really ambitious, make a scarf! It can be any width, and any length. You can follow books, or you can watch video's to learn. If you are just getting into crochet and you are in need of lessons and stitching methods you can also learn the hobby without having to pay for a book.

As a beginner learning crochet, you will no doubt find a little frustration at times. You can create many great and useful items for wearing and making your home warm.
