Crocheting is therapeutic. Antique crochet has a lot of character, and so antique patterns are searched for by those looking to recreate classic styles and projects from a time gone by.
Young children are often taught crochet to increase their fine motor skills, to help in their learning to count and follow instructions and to bolster their self-confidence. But learning how to crochet a dress can not only further your skills but allow you to make any number of projects for you, your family, and friends. 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.
Irish crochet is often considered to be crocheting at its highest expression and is done with the finest thread and hooks in intricate patterns, usually displaying a motif of leaves or flowers set in an open web-like background. It is both a social as well as a solitary hobby. For beginners, it may be best to first attempt to crochet a dress for a small child.
Take your time and concentrate on your technique. Or, as mentioned before, dishcloths are easy patterns for beginners.
