crochet patterns central - stick to the fundamentals

A simple project that lends itself to a variety of bold colors and various patterns, the crochet scarf has marked the foray into the world of crochet for many just picking up hook and yarn. Although different kinds of yarn are used by different people for crocheting, a very popular and widely appreciated variety used for crocheting is Cebelia, a 100% cotton crochet yarn.

Afghans also make great gifts during birthdays and holidays as different motifs can be incorporated into the design. If you don't know how to read the pattern, it can be very complicated and frustrating trying to figure it out. It just takes minutes to do a whole blanket with multiple thread changes.

Cebelia yarn is popular all over the world with crochet lovers for its texture, sheen and high quality. The free-flowing yarn on the back of your hook then needs to be pulled through both loops. Keep practicing these beginners crochet stitches and you will be amazed in time.

Also keep an eye out for how-to kits. It is great to be able to make items for yourself and as gifts for family and friends.
