crochet afghan pattern books

Learning how to crochet can be a wonderful experience that rewards you with a lifelong skill and outlet for relaxation. Crochet afghan cover patterns are one of the popular crochet projects enjoyed by both beginners and advanced crocheters.

French is the origin of the word "crochet," croc or croche which means hook. If you don't want to end up with your sleeves a different shade to your body, make sure all of the batch numbers on the balls you buy are the same. If you are really and truly not interested in a dishcloth, then try making small bookmarks.

Either way, the ability to crochet allows enthusiasts to practice it for their own enjoyment or even make a job out of it, selling their pieces in craft stores, at fairs, in specialty boutiques, or online. The average crochet hook is six inches, but Afghan hooks come in 9, 14, and 20 inch lengths. For women looking for a new hobby, you can also make your own crochet handbags.

That is one of the great things about crochet. You can also learn how to incorporate crochet with beads, embroidery and knitting.
