Many people have told me that they would just love to be able to crochet, but they feel it would be too hard for them to learn. If you are just beginning I would recommend a medium weight yarn, a basic four-ply yarn of good quality.
Do you know a good friend or family member who does crochet work? French is the origin of the word "crochet," croc or croche which means hook. So with a few basic stitches you can make toys, handbags, purses, scarves and yes even a bikini.
If you don't know how to read the pattern, it can be very complicated and frustrating trying to figure it out. Bring the slip-knot to where the hooked yarn goes through the slip-knot and back onto the hook. When you purchase a crochet book, or patterns, you'll find the abbreviations and symbols will be explained at the beginning.
Just like any craft, you have to enjoy it and truly have a passion for it to produce great works of yarn art. Take your time and concentrate on your technique.
