crochet candycane fundamentals

The methods for forming the stitches and holding the hook and yarn remain the same; you simply use your left instead of right hand. Similar to knitting, it is a process of making fabrics from thread or yarn with the use of a crochet hook.

If for some reason there is not an abbreviation key then feel free to use any one of the crochet how-to manuals that you have on hand to help you understand the abbreviations. In a relatively short amount of time you could be making your own crochet baby blanket. Why not learn to crochet?

Over the years, there have been many, many books written on crochet and baby blankets are easily one of the most popular items to crochet. Forums are places you can join, mostly free of charge, and get to know fellow craftsmen. As you learn to crochet, you will want to build a collection of the many different hook sizes.

It is also fun to work with the different yarn colors and textures. It is great to be able to make items for yourself and as gifts for family and friends.
