how to crochet scalloped edging - these are the basics

Many people, when hearing the word crochet, instantly conjure the image of an elderly woman sitting in a chair, crochet hook held firmly in arthritic fingers as she concocts another table doily. Crochet is an art which has caught up with women who have a flair for creativity.

Fortunately I was experienced enough to make it work. Crochet instructions for any particular project can be found in a variety of craft stores local to you, as well as online. Women purchase these magazines to develop new patterns and ideas or tips on how to handle crocheting.

If you are left handed it may take a little practice, however you will make it easy with practice. Free crochet afghan patterns are a great way to put together a beautiful afghan for gifts or for personal use. Bring the slip-knot to where the hooked yarn goes through the slip-knot and back onto the hook.

Bring the slip-knot to where the hooked yarn goes through the slip-knot and back onto the hook. In fact even designer brands also have a collection of crochet handbags. The free-flowing yarn on the back of your hook then needs to be pulled through both loops.

I find it very relaxing, a great stress reliever. Just get yourself a crochet tote bag (or crochet one yourself) and you are ready to go.
