For beginners, the completion of that first blanket, first scarf, first table cover, brings with it a joy that had been previously unknown. Crochet is the best craft.
How many of us would have continued on with the big project if we had had a chance to practice first without the big commitment of time and materials? If you make enough of them, you can sew them together to make hats, Afghans, and many other warm and creative items. Make the last round of each square the same color and you will pull them all together in a nice color coordinated project.
You can find the patterns at local craft stores or online where pattern sites offer many from which to choose. As a beginner, the easier yarn to use is one that has a medium or tight twist and a smooth surface. Other popular brands of crochet yarn include Baroque, Senso, Cordonnet, Manuel and Flora threads, among others.
In short time you will likely be replacing your beginners crochet patterns with ones that are much more elaborate. You just never know what works of art are hiding in your fingertips!
