Do you know someone who is pregnant and you don't know what to get them for a gift? Start with basic and easy to learn stitching techniques and then gradually as you grow in confidence you can upgrade for more difficult and intricate types of embroidery.
For a beginner, the crochet magazine teaches you how to crochet. A crochet baby pattern will allow you to try your hand at a new stitch, a new pattern, a new set of instructions but on a smaller scale than you may have been trying to tackle. Give yourself plenty of time to learn the art of crochet before you start on a baby blanket.
When using a substitute yarn make sure the length is the same as the one suggested in the pattern. By referring to old books, magazines and brochures, people find techniques that have been forgotten. You may have to take a few minutes to prepare if you re a left hander, but the amount of effort is minimal and will save you hours that could be lost trying to figure out how to reverse instructions.
Search the Internet for free crochet patterns. You just never know what works of art are hiding in your fingertips!
