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. If you are learning how to crochet, there are some things to consider that will make your crocheting experience easier and more fun.
Actually, crochet is not difficult at all. The term afghan was derived from the textiles that are produced in Afghanistan since they are comparable to the shawls and wraps used in the region. If for some reason there is not an abbreviation key then feel free to use any one of the crochet how-to manuals that you have on hand to help you understand the abbreviations.
And if you are really ambitious, make a scarf! It can be any width, and any length. Also take a look at the crochet instructions to determine the materials needed for your project. In most cases, a crochet pattern may also include helpful tips on the differences between yarns.
You just never know what works of art are hiding in your fingertips! Or, as mentioned before, dishcloths are easy patterns for beginners.
