The word crochet comes from the French croche or croc meaning to hook. Amongst older people crochet is popular as a social activity and to help keep arthritic symptoms in check.
Crochet charts and symbols can help clarify written instructions. You can get detailed instructions online and more patterns than you will ever use in your lifetime. It just takes minutes to do a whole blanket with multiple thread changes.
There are magazines published that are devoted solely to the art of crochet. Many of these crochet magazines provide information on where to purchase crochet equipment and patterns too. In addition to making outfits for loved ones, you can crochet a dress in many styles and colors for a child s favorite doll.
I hope this information has been helpful to you in making your decision to take up crochet as a hobby. Once you have practiced and feel you are ready to try an easy pattern, you can do a search online for a scarf pattern, which is what most beginners start out with.
