free crochet patterns for american girl doll clothes

The love of history, and the ever revolving fashion cycle have helped to renew popularity of this 19th century handcraft. Crochet, like any form of art, is as much about skill as about innate ability.

The main criteria for working with a hook is one that is comfortable and feels good in your hand. It's only hard if you think it is, so you have to change your thinking by looking at the basics of crochet. When you finish the crocheted item, take a picture of it and keep it in a photo album so when someone asks what you crochet, you can show them.

So with a few basic stitches you can make toys, handbags, purses, scarves and yes even a bikini. If you are a beginner and frequently lose your place, write the patterns on lined paper, one instruction at a time. Various resources like craft books, crocheting magazines and crafting websites offer complimentary crochet afghan patterns.

I hope this information has been helpful to you in making your decision to take up crochet as a hobby. Most of all, have fun and relax.
