girls crochet patterns

For those who are just beginning the art of crochet, you have probably completed many a blanket. 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.

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. There are numerous crochet patterns for afghan blankets. 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.

A Christmas afghan can help warm cold winter nights while personalized baby afghan blankets can become family heirlooms. Books aren't the only place to find these types of baby blanket patterns. The free-flowing yarn on the back of your hook then needs to be pulled through both loops.

Learn to crochet and you ll discover a passion that you ll have for a lifetime. It doesn't end there.
