Antique crochet has a lot of character, and so antique patterns are searched for by those looking to recreate classic styles and projects from a time gone by. A crocheted afghan is a great gift for family and friends.
The benefit of saving money on what you are able to make by hand is also a plus. Patterns can be written in several different ways. I always buy an extra ball than is recommended in the pattern just in case you need a bit extra, most good yarn stores will accept them back if you've bought too many.
For those wanting to learn to crochet, there are several possibilities to go about it. Be sure that you have enough supplies to finish the job; the last thing you want to have to do when you are in the middle of a project is run out for more yarn. Similar, but easier than learning a foreign language, after a bit of study, crochet abbreviations and symbols will make perfect sense!
It is also fun to work with the different yarn colors and textures. There are free patterns, charts with crochet abbreviations used in patterns, charts for hook sizes, etc.
