how to crochet with photos

The early development of the craft of crochet is linked to the imitation of lace and lace making. Working crochet left-handed is just as easy as working it right-handed.

Still all this could be useless if your basic knowledge of embroidery and stitching techniques is incomplete. Not to mention the quality for experienced crochet hobbyist comes out looking better than anything you could buy in the department store. A lovely evening bag made from simple crochet can add an elegant touch to any night out.

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. Most people will crochet baby blankets using a pattern. Crochet yarn is usually packaged as balls, not skeins, and the length of each yarn will vary depending on the thickness.

Have fun and don't give up to soon when you learn to crochet. There are free patterns, charts with crochet abbreviations used in patterns, charts for hook sizes, etc.
