shell stitch crochet - the easy way

If you are just beginning I would recommend a medium weight yarn, a basic four-ply yarn of good quality. If so the first thing that comes to mind is a granny square hat.

The weight of the hook, hook material, and finger size and length will influence your decision. If you want, you can check with Mom to see what colors the nursery is decorated in. The official Crochet Guild of America features lessons as well as crochet ideas for new learners.

Afghan hooks are used for specialized crochet projects, and they allow you to hold many stitches on your hook. And the ability to make treasured items that can be passed on from generation to generation. Some of the more common stitches are chain, single crochet, half-double crochet, double crochet, popcorn crochet, and cluster crochet.

Have fun and don't give up to soon when you learn to crochet. Remember that perfection is not necessary.
