crochet shrug pattern

Many people, when hearing the word crochet, instantly conjure the image of an elderly woman sitting in a chair, crochet hook held firmly in arthritic fingers as she concocts another table doily. Have you been thinking about learning to crochet?

It s an easily portable craft and can provide inexpensive and original gifts. While they may seem confusing at first, crochet instructions are like anything having to do with crochet or anything else for that matter; the more you practice, the better you ll be. If you are using a different yarn to the one suggested in the pattern be careful to make sure that it knits to the correct tension.

Crochet is used to make a variety of things. When reading crochet instructions, brackets and parentheses are used to convey related stitches. Learning to crochet a dress for dolls can also give you an avenue for making extra money.

Or, as mentioned before, dishcloths are easy patterns for beginners. I find it very relaxing, a great stress reliever.
