Many people, when hearing the word crochet, instantly conjure the image of an elderly woman sitting in a chair, crochet hook held firmly in arthritic fingers as she concocts another table doily. But, as crochet enthusiasts will also tell you, this opens the possibility of getting in completely over your head.
You can make a crocheted toy with the knowledge of three stitches and the ability to read a crochet pattern. Crochet is used to make a variety of things. Some crocheting, such as lace, is actually much easier to follow using a chart, than reading written instructions.
It just takes minutes to do a whole blanket with multiple thread changes. If you don't know what project you want to start, paging through the countless pages on websites will give you many, many options. In addition to yarn and hooks, there are other tools that will make crocheting easier.
There are free patterns, charts with crochet abbreviations used in patterns, charts for hook sizes, etc. I am sure that you will enjoy your crochet experience.
