free poncho crochet patterns

Crocheting is therapeutic. Have you been thinking about learning to crochet?

Putting the yarn in plastic bag and then into the freezer for a few hours before working with it will help it to keep in fibres and stop them from getting up your nose! Similar to knitting, it is a process of making fabrics from thread or yarn with the use of a crochet hook. This beginners crochet block in itself can be very useful.

When trying to imitate lace very fine threads and hooks were used but nowadays it is more usual to use soft yarns to produce clothing, home furnishings and wall displays. Afghan hooks are used for specialized crochet projects, and they allow you to hold many stitches on your hook. Getting one on one lessons from a crochet expert is the best way to learn because they can give you immediate feedback on what you are doing wrong and how to fix it.

Once you have practiced and feel you are ready to try an easy pattern, you can do a search online for a scarf pattern, which is what most beginners start out with. A free crochet pattern for an afghan cover is not only a great way to start, but it is also fun.
