crochet grinch hat - these are the essentials

The methods for forming the stitches and holding the hook and yarn remain the same; you simply use your left instead of right hand. When buying yarn always make sure you choose balls of yarn with the same dye lot or dye batch number.

Before beginning your crochet scarf, you must also decide the length of your scarf. The kind of yarn is mercerized twice, giving it strength as well as shine. A chain of loops is created, with each new loop catching the thread and pulling it through the previous loop.

Other items that can be made by crocheting are cellular phone cases, fashion bag parts, tablecloth, and coasters. If you don't know what project you want to start, paging through the countless pages on websites will give you many, many options. As a matter of fact, the ability to crochet a dress can provide you with many a resource for gift giving.

There are free patterns, charts with crochet abbreviations used in patterns, charts for hook sizes, etc. There are some great resources out there.
