crochet patterns

The love of history, and the ever revolving fashion cycle have helped to renew popularity of this 19th century handcraft. Crochet is an art which has caught up with women who have a flair for creativity.

The term afghan was derived from the textiles that are produced in Afghanistan since they are comparable to the shawls and wraps used in the region. Additionally, the shape of the crochet scarf is enormously forgiving of any first timer mistakes. As the eye of the world continues to look towards Hollywood to see what the young, rich, and famous are wearing, we find the resurgence of simple crochet as a fashion statement.

The kind of yarn is mercerized twice, giving it strength as well as shine. Most people will crochet baby blankets using a pattern. As you learn to crochet, you will want to build a collection of the many different hook sizes.

You just never know what works of art are hiding in your fingertips! It is great to be able to make items for yourself and as gifts for family and friends.
