free crochet doll patterns

If you are learning how to crochet, there are some things to consider that will make your crocheting experience easier and more fun. Here are some helpful and handy tips and tricks that will make crocheting easier and keep you more organized.

The great thing about crochet is that you have the option of using many different stitches in your blanket to give it a different texture and look. Granny squares have been made into everything from large afghans to tiny doll sweaters and everything in between. In selecting your yarn, there are five basic types: baby/fingering, sportweight/baby, worsted weight, chunky and bulky.

Generally, it is wound on a small core resulting in a compact ball with high yardage. Over the years, there have been many, many books written on crochet and baby blankets are easily one of the most popular items to crochet. After you crochet your project, you may want to try your hand at something a little larger.

Crochet is an interesting hobby. You just never know what works of art are hiding in your fingertips!
