crochet waffle stitch - have fun while crocheting

Many older women do seem to have an innate ability to crochet, simply because it was a tradition handed down from generation to generation. These magazines deal with the different kinds of patterns, tips, ideas as well as more information on the subject.

As the eye of the world continues to look towards Hollywood to see what the young, rich, and famous are wearing, we find the resurgence of simple crochet as a fashion statement. So with a few basic stitches you can make toys, handbags, purses, scarves and yes even a bikini. If you are a beginner and frequently lose your place, write the patterns on lined paper, one instruction at a time.

You may even find that if you approach someone who knows how to crochet and tell them that you would like to learn to crochet, they ll be happy to pass along some lessons. Once you've worked with a few patterns, you'll find yourself much more familiar with the instructions, and you won't need to refer to the book any longer. This is why in early patterns many of the directions seem to be missing.

It is also fun to work with the different yarn colors and textures. Remember that perfection is not necessary.
