free crochet frog pattern - this is what you need to know

Crochet patterns can look confusing at first. Many people, when hearing the word crochet, instantly conjure the image of an elderly woman sitting in a chair, crochet hook held firmly in arthritic fingers as she concocts another table doily.

Patterns can be written in several different ways. It can serve as a wrap or shawl as well as a blanket during chilly nights. Because of its calming, rhythmic movements, many studies have shown positive results for people suffering from chronic depression, Alzheimer s disease, dementia and schizophrenia.

I ended up at Wal-mart late at night browsing through the craft aisles and inevitably drawn to all the cool yarns. When using a substitute yarn make sure the length is the same as the one suggested in the pattern. In fact even designer brands also have a collection of crochet handbags.

Also keep an eye out for how-to kits. That is one of the great things about crochet.
