I find myself staring on the crochet handbags displayed in a store's marquee and these bags are just fabulous that I can't really decide if I were to buy one. Once you understand how a pattern works, and become familiar with the more common crochet stitches, you'll find reading crochet patterns one of the easiest aspects of crochet.
The fabric itself can be strong and versatile and depending on the variations of colors used, can also create many different beautiful patterns. You will need a few items to start, among which will include your preferred yarn color, small scissors, a size G crochet hook, and a yarn needle with an eye large enough for the yarn. The kind of yarn is mercerized twice, giving it strength as well as shine.
This beginners crochet block in itself can be very useful. You may even find that if you approach someone who knows how to crochet and tell them that you would like to learn to crochet, they ll be happy to pass along some lessons. At the time, knitting seemed over my head and maybe even a bit "granny-ish".
The average crochet hook is six inches, but Afghan hooks come in 9, 14, and 20 inch lengths. When you purchase a crochet book, or patterns, you'll find the abbreviations and symbols will be explained at the beginning. Although this may sound complicated in practise it is very easy to do.
The most important thing to remember when starting to crochet is not to get overwhelmed. Most of all, have fun and relax.
