Crochet is more than just twisting of yarn and manipulation with a hook. Crocheting is an art. Crochet is a craft that involves a great deal of patience and persistence to hone your talent. It allows a person to create a handmade item that will give provide a great deal of pride and a sense of accomplishment. To crochet, you only need a hook and yarn, and don't forget the patience.
Crocheting involves a few tools, inexpensive materials, and a pattern. Beginners should try to find instructions on how to create basic stitches. It is also helpful to get familiar with pattern legends. These legends and symbols tend to be universal for all crochet patterns. Once you’ve learned the basic stitches and understand the patterns, you will be ready to attempt to crochet using a pattern. Check out The Yankee Crafter on Pinterest for a collection of patterns.
Beginners often think that the end result will come easily and get quickly discouraged when their chain stitch looks awry. Each time you pick up the hook, aim to do the best job, which will require a lot of do-overs until you get it right. More often than not, I have scrap yarn the I use to work on a stitch should I run into stitch issues.
Instead of inundating you with 100 beginner patterns to choose from, I am suggesting 3 that progress as you do. All patterns are free and with instructions. Choose your yarn and get hooking.
