Many people, when hearing the word crochet, instantly conjure the image of an elderly woman sitting in a chair, crochet hook held firmly in arthritic fingers as she concocts another table doily. Many older women do seem to have an innate ability to crochet, simply because it was a tradition handed down from generation to generation.
In the 16th century nuns taught the craft to their students and it became a recognised accomplishment of a high-born lady. Crochet is one of those great crafts because you can get started really quickly with nice projects that will not have people asking you what is that going to be when it is finished. If you are trying to read and understand a crochet pattern, the best way is to have both the written instructions and the symbols handy.
Whatever you are looking for, you can find it online! There are many that will offer advice to your questions. For instance the first chain, the in use loop on the hook and the to be used stitch running with the row. All you need to read a pattern is to know how to do your crochet stitches and remember that they are abbreviated in the pattern.
If you are feeling ambitious, you can even attempt a crochet scarf as a gift. The beauty of making such a personal gift for someone you love is that they won t ever notice the mistakes. You may want to consider an all natural blend, or if you are looking at synthetic yarns, get a blend of the two, which will have the benefits of both synthetic and natural.
It doesn't end there. I am sure that you will enjoy your crochet experience.
