crochet grinch hat - you should know the fundamentals first

Crochet is a great hobby to take up. You can tell what batch the yarn comes from by looking at the batch number on the ball band.

There are so many great wools and threads to choose from, you can make anything you want. If a series of stitches doesn't making sense by following the written instructions, often the symbols can clarify what is actually meant. Having these books on hand will also walk you through the stitches if you are still in the learning stages.

You can follow books, or you can watch video's to learn. This gives you an even wider selection to choose from having both designer and generic markets available. By referring to old books, magazines and brochures, people find techniques that have been forgotten.

In short time you will likely be replacing your beginners crochet patterns with ones that are much more elaborate. You just never know what works of art are hiding in your fingertips!
