Crochet is a great hobby to take up. The love of history, and the ever revolving fashion cycle have helped to renew popularity of this 19th century handcraft.
Fortunately for us all, there were a lot of books, magazines and patterns published between 1850 and 1950 that have documented, the crochet creations that are from the peak period of this craft. Start with basic and easy to learn stitching techniques and then gradually as you grow in confidence you can upgrade for more difficult and intricate types of embroidery. In addition to hooks and yarn, there are also several other tools that you should consider getting before you start a crochet project.
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. When you begin to crochet you start with a slip stitch on a hook. Learning simple crochet will benefit you in so many ways.
In short time you will likely be replacing your beginners crochet patterns with ones that are much more elaborate. Crochet pattern e-books are great value and very convenient.
