crochet afghans

Are you interested in free cross-stitch patterns? For beginners, the completion of that first blanket, first scarf, first table cover, brings with it a joy that had been previously unknown.

When buying yarn always make sure you choose balls of yarn with the same dye lot or dye batch number. It is very important that you know how to read the crochet pattern before you start. In selecting your yarn, there are five basic types: baby/fingering, sportweight/baby, worsted weight, chunky and bulky.

You can make a crocheted toy with the knowledge of three stitches and the ability to read a crochet pattern. Then you bring the yarn free-flowing behind the hook to the front and grab it with the hook. They have books that contain patterns and detailed instructions on crocheting.

Have fun and don't give up to soon when you learn to crochet. Empty prescription bottles can be very handy for keeping smaller crochet tools like row counters, beads, and yarn needles.
