crochet instructions

There are many reasons why people love to crochet. Many older women do seem to have an innate ability to crochet, simply because it was a tradition handed down from generation to generation.

Fortunately I was experienced enough to make it work. Similar to knitting, it is a process of making fabrics from thread or yarn with the use of a crochet hook. This is the same as the basic starting chain in crochet, except you are using a crochet hook instead of your fingers.

You can get detailed instructions online and more patterns than you will ever use in your lifetime. You will find everything from Afghans, baby clothes, bookmarks, dolls, pillows and much more. Most crochet instructions include something called a gauge guide which is something of a practice area that allows you to crochet some stitches.

A free crochet pattern for an afghan cover is not only a great way to start, but it is also fun. Or, as mentioned before, dishcloths are easy patterns for beginners.
