tunisian crochet - beginner's instructions

The word crochet comes from the French croche or croc meaning to hook. The fabric itself can be strong and versatile and depending on the variations of colors used, can also create many different beautiful patterns.

There are in access of a dozen different stitching methods, for instance cluster, cross over, Tunisian, cheek, crossed, knot, fence, mahogany, diagonal rib, star, stocking, rib, treble, fan, eyelet, braid and four sided stitch are the stitch you can learn, while knowledge of some of these stitch is a prerequisite before you start. If looking at diagrams on the Internet, keep a mirror next to your monitor. You will find everything from Afghans, baby clothes, bookmarks, dolls, pillows and much more.

You'll be amazed at how easily and well you pick up the art. Cotton yarns are very easy to work with and make great crocheted dishcloths, an easy project for beginners. You may be able to find places that you can go to download the patterns onto your computer to print off later.

Now get Crocheting. Keep in mind that patterns can be adapted to suit the purpose of the project.
