how to crochet a granny square

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. Are you interested in free cross-stitch patterns?

My mom had taught me to cross-stitch as a child but that wouldn't do anymore. Part of mastering crochet is the mastering of crochet instructions that will lead you through a particular project. I have known three housewives who have gone into crocheting, first as a hobby, and then into business, making sweatshirts, shawls and pillowcases in different designs and different colors.

On the internet you'll find patterns and plans for that will assist you in making this type of baby blanket gift. Then you bring the yarn free-flowing behind the hook to the front and grab it with the hook. It simply makes sense to make a baby sized sweater before tackling the adult sized version as a Christmas gift for your husband!

It is also fun to work with the different yarn colors and textures. Search the Internet for free crochet patterns.
