how to make fancy crochet hooks - this is what you need to know

If you are just beginning I would recommend a medium weight yarn, a basic four-ply yarn of good quality. If you are learning how to crochet, there are some things to consider that will make your crocheting experience easier and more fun.

Do you know a good friend or family member who does crochet work? You can tell what batch the yarn comes from by looking at the batch number on the ball band. If you are trying to read and understand a crochet pattern, the best way is to have both the written instructions and the symbols handy.

Afghans also make great gifts during birthdays and holidays as different motifs can be incorporated into the design. You can follow books, or you can watch video's to learn. You'll be amazed at how easily and well you pick up the art.

It is also quite economical for those who are involved with making crocheted things regularly. So all you need to get going is to find a pattern that includes the stitches that you know, the materials and the right crochet hook or hooks and you are good to go. You will be able to ask questions and get advice.

Everyone can learn to crochet, practice up! Empty prescription bottles can be very handy for keeping smaller crochet tools like row counters, beads, and yarn needles.
