crochet hat patterns

Do you know someone who is pregnant and you don't know what to get them for a gift? Crochet is derived from the French word croc or croche, meaning hook.

Crochet is one of those great crafts because you can get started really quickly with nice projects that will not have people asking you what is that going to be when it is finished. The first thing to consider is the type of hooks or hooks you'll be using. If you are using a different yarn to the one suggested in the pattern be careful to make sure that it knits to the correct tension.

Crochet charts and symbols can help clarify written instructions. Having these books on hand will also walk you through the stitches if you are still in the learning stages. The repetition is something that your hands actually learn.

There are some great resources out there. I hope this information has been helpful to you in making your decision to take up crochet as a hobby.
