Crochet, like any form of art, is as much about skill as about innate ability. French is the origin of the word "crochet," croc or croche which means hook.
This is the same as the basic starting chain in crochet, except you are using a crochet hook instead of your fingers. Aside from the psychological and emotional benefits of crocheting, it also provides material benefits. Having these books on hand will also walk you through the stitches if you are still in the learning stages.
You will find everything from Afghans, baby clothes, bookmarks, dolls, pillows and much more. Women in the nineteenth century were familiar with crochet and therefore instructions that we need today were unnecessary at that time. When you purchase a crochet book, or patterns, you'll find the abbreviations and symbols will be explained at the beginning.
Crocheting is an art form. Take your time and concentrate on your technique.
