Crochet is a great hobby to take up. There are numerous crochet patterns for afghan blankets.
Irish crochet is often considered to be crocheting at its highest expression and is done with the finest thread and hooks in intricate patterns, usually displaying a motif of leaves or flowers set in an open web-like background. There are so many great wools and threads to choose from, you can make anything you want. In many cases, you can even find a schedule of classes where experts in simple crochet can teach you the basics.
If you are feeling ambitious, you can even attempt a crochet scarf as a gift. Crochet yarn is usually packaged as balls, not skeins, and the length of each yarn will vary depending on the thickness. By using various combinations of stitches it is possible to create a variety of textures and patterns.
Once you have practiced and feel you are ready to try an easy pattern, you can do a search online for a scarf pattern, which is what most beginners start out with. You can do it while you are watching TV, or while sitting in a doctor's waiting room, or traveling as a passenger in a vehicle.
