Free Crochet Instructions

Crochet can be very reasonable or outrageous. But to get started the only cost you unquestionably need to incur would be a crochet hook, which is only a couple of dollars and a skein or two of yarn. This is one hobby that can be as reasonable or as expensive as your budget allows.

I have seen hooks and brand new yarn in thrift stores and at yard sales. On the other hand you can go to a yarn shop and buy the most excellent and expensive yarn they have. Whether way you go, a single crochet stitch is the same. I don't buy the very expensive yarn but than the unquestionably cheap yarn is unquestionably no bargain. It will often shred or unravel, pill and be uneven on the skein. It will not wash well and you will end up wasting a lot of your time.

A nice basic yarn to learn with is the Red Heart 4 ply. This yarn is very good for scarves, hats, slippers, sweaters, afghans, and blankets. They have a large selection of colors and textures for just about any scheme you may want to make. I propose you stay away from eyelash yarn at the beginning because it would be very difficult to see your stitches and rows.

Hooks will vary slightly with the different brands. You will find that some have a more pointed end than others. Some tend to be blunt at the hook end and a bit flatten. Myself, I do not care for the blunt ends, as they do not go into the next stitch as cleanly as the pointed type tip. But this is just a personal selection and you may find it just the opposite.

You will need to select your pattern, and then you will decree on the supplies needed. These will be chosen according to the pattern you decree to begin with. My suggestion for a beginner would be to use a hook size in the middle of H through J. anyone of these would be a good size to handle and to be able to see your stitches and rows as you crochet.

Yarn suggestion is a worsted weight yarn like Red Heart four ply as mentioned above. Keep the color shade from medium to light. The dark blues, browns and black make it very difficult to see your stitches and rows and when you are studying you will have trouble adequate without this problem.

Print off the abbreviations below. You will want to keep them handy until you are well-known with them. This is a short list just to help you learn how to crochet the basics. With this list you will be able to crochet any of the many granny squares and other projects you are sure to come over and save.
