Antique crochet has a lot of character, and so antique patterns are searched for by those looking to recreate classic styles and projects from a time gone by. The love of history, and the ever revolving fashion cycle have helped to renew popularity of this 19th century handcraft.
The term afghan was derived from the textiles that are produced in Afghanistan since they are comparable to the shawls and wraps used in the region. How about free quilt patterns? In selecting your yarn, there are five basic types: baby/fingering, sportweight/baby, worsted weight, chunky and bulky.
If you do decide to crochet your own dress, measurements are of the utmost importance. Bring the slip-knot to where the hooked yarn goes through the slip-knot and back onto the hook. Some of the more common stitches are chain, single crochet, half-double crochet, double crochet, popcorn crochet, and cluster crochet.
That is one of the great things about crochet. Also keep an eye out for how-to kits.
