free crochet afghan patterns

Once you understand how a pattern works, and become familiar with the more common crochet stitches, you'll find reading crochet patterns one of the easiest aspects of crochet. I find myself staring on the crochet handbags displayed in a store's marquee and these bags are just fabulous that I can't really decide if I were to buy one.

It will make it easy to just flip it over when crocheting the next row. Crochet is the best craft. 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.

These are great for quick projects, last minute gifts and using up small amounts of yarn that is leftover from previous projects. Afghan hooks are used for specialized crochet projects, and they allow you to hold many stitches on your hook. This is why in early patterns many of the directions seem to be missing.

You can also learn how to incorporate crochet with beads, embroidery and knitting. Crochet may seem complicated at first, but is really simple once you learn how.
