My Love Of Crochet

Crochet is a skill that every crafty person should try to master. It is not only good for fun but it can actually be used as a way to make money if you get really good. I was super excited when I started to be able to crochet.  I don’t make any money from mine, but I do enjoy it.  I managed to make this blanket after just a few weeks.

I followed some YouTube videos from a lady called Bella Coco.  Bella was really easy to follow and I spent time pausing her videos and getting to grips with each step.

Crocheting is done using two hooks, one in each hand. The hooks are used to work yarn loops to create the desired pattern. There are many different ways of crocheting and people have developed their own styles which makes it even more interesting!

People often start with simple patterns like chains or granny squares, but soon they are moving on to more intricate designs like doilies or lace curtains. There are also many different crochet stitches that can be learned and mastered with time.

Crochet Projects

The first thing I made was a little turtle following an online tutorial.  After that, I created a Mal doll from The Descendents for my daughter.  I then went on to make my son a dog and then my Goddaughter a monkey.  I’ve been really enjoying my crochet projects over time.  I actually haven’t made anything for quite some time, but writing this now is making me want to get hooking again!

 

Different Types of Crochet Yarns and Why They Matter

Many people like the idea of crocheting in their spare time to create beautiful items that they can give to their friends or family. However, in order to create these items, you need to learn about the different types of yarns that are available for crochet. This article will cover the four main types of yarns for crochet and what makes them different from one another.

The first type of yarn is called worsted weight. This type of yarn is made up of relatively long strands that are tightly twisted together when they are spun into a ball. One thing about worsted weight is that it usually has a much larger number than it has when it comes to a thickness so this type might not be ideal for amigurumi or other smaller projects.

I think a crocheted item is a really thoughtful gift because a lot of time goes into making them.
