how to adapt crochet pattern for different yarn weight - crochet how to

Are you wondering if that trip to your favourite craft store was a waste of time? Are you just wondering what else you can do with 12 coloured crochet hooks? Crochet patterns can look confusing at first.

My mom had taught me to cross-stitch as a child but that wouldn't do anymore. Similar to knitting, it is a process of making fabrics from thread or yarn with the use of a crochet hook. A lovely evening bag made from simple crochet can add an elegant touch to any night out.

It can get intimidating, but contains enough stitches that you usually get the hang of each stitch and are ready for the next one. You can find a crochet baby pattern for a variety of crochet designs online and in local craft stores. Why not learn to crochet?

When using a substitute yarn make sure the length is the same as the one suggested in the pattern. In the past it was very common to work directly from a picture of finished work or from a sample. Once you have picked up the simple steps, you can progress to the more complicated steps in crochet.

Just get yourself a crochet tote bag (or crochet one yourself) and you are ready to go. It doesn't end there.
