crochet sock edging the easy way

Crochet patterns can look confusing at first. Actually, crochet is not difficult at all.

You will generally start with a beginners crochet block; as it is the start of many other projects. Crochet can help with dexterity; help with eye-hand coordination; help develop concentration and can be incorporated as part of other crafts. Crochet patterns are really easy.

All you need to read a pattern is to know how to do your crochet stitches and remember that they are abbreviated in the pattern. You may want to consider an all natural blend, or if you are looking at synthetic yarns, get a blend of the two, which will have the benefits of both synthetic and natural. In most cases, a crochet pattern may also include helpful tips on the differences between yarns.

Search the Internet for free crochet patterns. That is one of the great things about crochet.
