Many older women do seem to have an innate ability to crochet, simply because it was a tradition handed down from generation to generation. 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.
You can get detailed instructions online and more patterns than you will ever use in your lifetime. If you make enough of them, you can sew them together to make hats, Afghans, and many other warm and creative items. For instance the first chain, the in use loop on the hook and the to be used stitch running with the row.
Crochet is a series of interlocking loops of thread onto a chain using a thin rod with a hook at the end. Acrylics are popular and easy to work with and wash. Beyond the basics it s up to you to practice, practice, practice.
Learn to crochet and you ll discover a passion that you ll have for a lifetime. It is also fun to work with the different yarn colors and textures.
