Crochet Ideas

The type of yarn you pick will depend on the type of project knitting you are doing. If this is your first time trying to crochet, it is best to stick with a simple, plain yarn made of cotton or soft acrylic yarn.
Choose a solid color for the yarn so that as you're learning, you can see how the stitches are made--patterned yarn would make this more difficult.The first stitch you will learn is the single crochet. Make fifteen chains for practice. Insert hook in second chain from hook. Wrap yarn around hook which is called a yarn over and pull through. Repeat across and chain one to turn. Make several rows of single crochet. To increase single crochet, make topstitches in one. To decrease, draw up loop in next two stitches.
when you can spare blanket crochet, crochet baby blanket, crochet scarf, crochet bag, crochet sweater, crochet poncho, knitting kits, and sock wool.
