free crochet flower patterns

The word crochet comes from the French croche or croc meaning to hook. 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.

It will make it easy to just flip it over when crocheting the next row. Or perhaps crochet is something that their mothers or grandmothers participated in and they want to continue the family tradition. Back in the real world, where the latest and best designers are not at our fingertips, we can still purchase a variety of items that feature simple crochet.

You can get detailed instructions online and more patterns than you will ever use in your lifetime. The library is a great source of crochet baby blanket patterns also. As you learn to crochet, you will want to build a collection of the many different hook sizes.

Just like any craft, you have to enjoy it and truly have a passion for it to produce great works of yarn art. Just get yourself a crochet tote bag (or crochet one yourself) and you are ready to go.
