how to crochet a square

Crochet is a great hobby to take up. The day you start learning this art you will be faced with different free crochet designs rather intriguing patterns for instance crochet apple afghan, simple afghan or then instructions for crafting a dual crochet ripple baby afghan.

Crochet instructions can be written out in abbreviations, presented as symbols, or can be a combination of both. When buying yarn always make sure you choose balls of yarn with the same dye lot or dye batch number. They make a slip knot in the yarn or string using their fingers, then make a loop and pass it through the first loop, then another loop through that loop and so on.

Crochet charts and symbols can help clarify written instructions. There are magazines published that are devoted solely to the art of crochet. Keep practicing these beginners crochet stitches and you will be amazed in time.

It is great to be able to make items for yourself and as gifts for family and friends. Take your time and concentrate on your technique.
