The word crochet comes from the French croche or croc meaning to hook. Crocheting appeals to a wide number of people, as most of the materials still remain inexpensive and easy to obtain.
Granny squares have been made into everything from large afghans to tiny doll sweaters and everything in between. The term afghan was derived from the textiles that are produced in Afghanistan since they are comparable to the shawls and wraps used in the region. For starters, one can find an infinite variety of patterns of the fabric used to make the handbags.
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 is both a social as well as a solitary hobby. At the time, knitting seemed over my head and maybe even a bit "granny-ish".
If you are just beginning crochet, it may be helpful to purchase a crochet scarf pattern to help you along. There is only your yarn and a crochet hook, and possibly a crochet pattern, to carry. Magazines will contain a number of crochet patterns for baby blankets.
It is great to be able to make items for yourself and as gifts for family and friends. Just get yourself a crochet tote bag (or crochet one yourself) and you are ready to go.
