halloween crochet patterns - crochet for fun

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. If so the first thing that comes to mind is a granny square hat.

Another good thing about crochet symbols is that they are international, so no matter where the pattern comes from, the symbols will usually be the same. It is important to select the appropriate pattern that will fit the size of the intended project. There are magazines published that are devoted solely to the art of crochet.

Free crochet afghan patterns are a great way to put together a beautiful afghan for gifts or for personal use. For beginners, it may be best to first attempt to crochet a dress for a small child. They have books that contain patterns and detailed instructions on crocheting.

There are some great resources out there. It is also fun to work with the different yarn colors and textures.
