half double crochet

Crochet is a great hobby to take up. Antique crochet has a lot of character, and so antique patterns are searched for by those looking to recreate classic styles and projects from a time gone by.

Today, simple crochet patterns are a part of any number of designs. Patterns can be written in several different ways. So with a few basic stitches you can make toys, handbags, purses, scarves and yes even a bikini.

Just be sure that when first attempting to use crochet instructions to complete a project that you choose a beginner s pattern that uses basic stitches, simple shaping, and unadorned lines. It just takes minutes to do a whole blanket with multiple thread changes. Other popular brands of crochet yarn include Baroque, Senso, Cordonnet, Manuel and Flora threads, among others.

By searching online you will find everything you need to know about crochet. Also keep an eye out for how-to kits.
