Many older women do seem to have an innate ability to crochet, simply because it was a tradition handed down from generation to generation. Do you know someone who is pregnant and you don't know what to get them for a gift?
Amongst older people crochet is popular as a social activity and to help keep arthritic symptoms in check. The fabric itself can be strong and versatile and depending on the variations of colors used, can also create many different beautiful patterns. When you finish the crocheted item, take a picture of it and keep it in a photo album so when someone asks what you crochet, you can show them.
You may want a shorter crochet scarf that s more about fashion or a longer crochet scarf that s more about function. If you are just beginning crochet, it may be helpful to purchase a crochet scarf pattern to help you along. You will find everything from Afghans, baby clothes, bookmarks, dolls, pillows and much more.
At the time, knitting seemed over my head and maybe even a bit "granny-ish". By referring to old books, magazines and brochures, people find techniques that have been forgotten. Yarns can be made of synthetic or natural fibers.
Keep in mind that patterns can be adapted to suit the purpose of the project. Just take a trip to any store that carries craft materials and patterns.
