Crocheting is the process of creating fabric from a length of cord, yarn, or thread with a specific type of a hook known as the crochet hook. For beginners, the completion of that first blanket, first scarf, first table cover, brings with it a joy that had been previously unknown.
Crochet hooks are made from a variety of materials, including: steel, aluminum, bone or plastic. Fortunately I was experienced enough to make it work. If you are using a different yarn to the one suggested in the pattern be careful to make sure that it knits to the correct tension.
There are some that sell patterns and some that will tell you where to get them for free! Yes, free. When reading crochet instructions, brackets and parentheses are used to convey related stitches. For the more fashion conscious are magazines which display the latest in crocheting trends.
Cebelia yarn is popular all over the world with crochet lovers for its texture, sheen and high quality. Acrylics are popular and easy to work with and wash. If you can't learn from the Internet and feel that you need more of a one on one approach, check with your local craft store.
It is also fun to work with the different yarn colors and textures. Have fun and don't give up to soon when you learn to crochet.
