illustrated crochet stitches - get creative

If you are just beginning I would recommend a medium weight yarn, a basic four-ply yarn of good quality. There are numerous crochet patterns for afghan blankets.

It is important to select the appropriate pattern that will fit the size of the intended project. 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. Unlike knitting, crochet uses this single starting loop to work a row of individual chain stitches.

In many cases, you can even find a schedule of classes where experts in simple crochet can teach you the basics. By using various combinations of stitches it is possible to create a variety of textures and patterns. There may be clubs in your area that meet monthly to exchange crochet patterns and to give tips to each other.

Browse through the books to find one that is most user-friendly for you. You just never know what works of art are hiding in your fingertips!
