Crochet, like any form of art, is as much about skill as about innate ability. The word crochet comes from the French croche or croc meaning to hook.
Young children are often taught crochet to increase their fine motor skills, to help in their learning to count and follow instructions and to bolster their self-confidence. Part of mastering crochet is the mastering of crochet instructions that will lead you through a particular project. An afghan blanket can be used as a comforter and as a bedspread.
This is the same as the basic starting chain in crochet, except you are using a crochet hook instead of your fingers. It may be easier to fit if you are working with someone else s measurements. You are then ready to begin your project with the step-by-step directions included in your crochet instructions.
You just never know what works of art are hiding in your fingertips! Just get yourself a crochet tote bag (or crochet one yourself) and you are ready to go.
