A simple project that lends itself to a variety of bold colors and various patterns, the crochet scarf has marked the foray into the world of crochet for many just picking up hook and yarn. The methods for forming the stitches and holding the hook and yarn remain the same; you simply use your left instead of right hand.
Still all this could be useless if your basic knowledge of embroidery and stitching techniques is incomplete. Many of these books and magazines, are rare and expensive, putting them out of the reach of the average crafter, other than in a library, Libraries in particular are good low cost sources of patterns, however it generally takes a fair bit of time and effort to locate a suitable pattern. Colors in soft, fuzzy materials provide a diversion to the cold, hard and glaring screens of your office computers that you have been staring at for the whole day.
If you've been following along, you will know that I never recommend starting a project that is too advanced when you are a beginner. Books aren't the only place to find these types of baby blanket patterns. Acrylics are popular and easy to work with and wash.
You can crochet straight forward items almost immediately and once you ve mastered the basics you can go onto the more complicated patterns when you fancy a challenge. Also keep an eye out for how-to kits.
