free crochet patterns - crochet how to

If you know how to crochet or are just learning how to crochet, chances are you are going to be making a baby blanket. It is very important that you know how to read the crochet pattern before you start.

There is no specific requirements for choosing a hook, but depending on how tightly or loosely you crochet will be a consideration. Suddenly simple crochet patterns are hitting the red carpet at movie premiers and awards shows as movie stars make their fashion statements with these classic designs. Over the years, there have been many, many books written on crochet and baby blankets are easily one of the most popular items to crochet.

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. You may want to consider an all natural blend, or if you are looking at synthetic yarns, get a blend of the two, which will have the benefits of both synthetic and natural. As a beginner, the easier yarn to use is one that has a medium or tight twist and a smooth surface.

Also keep an eye out for how-to kits. Everyone can learn to crochet, practice up!
