crochet stitches

The early development of the craft of crochet is linked to the imitation of lace and lace making. Many people have told me that they would just love to be able to crochet, but they feel it would be too hard for them to learn.

Many of these books and magazines, are rare and expensive, putting them out of the reach of the average crafter, other than in a library, Libraries in particular are good low cost sources of patterns, however it generally takes a fair bit of time and effort to locate a suitable pattern. By learning a few basic crochet stitches you will be able to make some really nice crochet projects. Crochet charts and symbols can help clarify written instructions.

This beginners crochet block in itself can be very useful. When reading crochet instructions, brackets and parentheses are used to convey related stitches. When you already have the hang of it you can even go to the Internet for new patterns and design to make on your own.

Now get Crocheting. Most of all, have fun and relax.
