Crochet is derived from the French word croc or croche, meaning hook. 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 making the crochet scarf for yourself not a bad idea if this is your first attempt then the choices are all yours. Granny squares have been made into everything from large afghans to tiny doll sweaters and everything in between. The kind of yarn is mercerized twice, giving it strength as well as shine.
If you are trying to read and understand a crochet pattern, the best way is to have both the written instructions and the symbols handy. There are magazines published that are devoted solely to the art of crochet. Forums are places you can join, mostly free of charge, and get to know fellow craftsmen.
So if you are looking for the perfect gift, look no further than crochet. There are some great resources out there.
