Here are some helpful and handy tips and tricks that will make crocheting easier and keep you more organized. The word crochet comes from the French croche or croc meaning to hook.
Similar to knitting, it is a process of making fabrics from thread or yarn with the use of a crochet 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. It is important to select the appropriate pattern that will fit the size of the intended project.
In selecting your yarn, there are five basic types: baby/fingering, sportweight/baby, worsted weight, chunky and bulky. When reading crochet instructions, brackets and parentheses are used to convey related stitches. When you are really stuck and just do not understand the directions of the pattern, or how to do a stitch, then have them show you.
Crochet is an interesting hobby. Once you have practiced and feel you are ready to try an easy pattern, you can do a search online for a scarf pattern, which is what most beginners start out with.
