free crochet snowflakes

For those who are just beginning the art of crochet, you have probably completed many a blanket. 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.

So if you are looking for the perfect gift for that special little one, then consider a crochet baby blanket. By learning a few basic crochet stitches you will be able to make some really nice crochet projects. When trying to imitate lace very fine threads and hooks were used but nowadays it is more usual to use soft yarns to produce clothing, home furnishings and wall displays.

There are so many great wools and threads to choose from, you can make anything you want. At the time, knitting seemed over my head and maybe even a bit "granny-ish". Beyond the basics it s up to you to practice, practice, practice.

Just take a trip to any store that carries craft materials and patterns. Remember that perfection is not necessary.
