too.Cleaning Up with Crochet originally appeared on About.com

I thought it might be nice to create a short summary of my crochet
week, and find out a bit about how yours went too.

Published a new scarf pattern, and posted a few ideas for how to
wear scarves. Updated our index of free scarf patterns. Blogged
about Barbie doll's birthday and St Patrick's day. Started making
swatches in hopes of crocheting a new baby afghan. (I decided on a

post it yet.) Strung about a zillion seed beads onto crochet
thread, in hopes of making some new beaded crochet projects.C...
Want to Learn to Crochet?
If you've never crocheted before or need a little brushup of your
skills, our Guide to Crochet, Amy, is here to help. She's got all
sorts of great information on the basics, such as: How to make a
slip knot How to crochet a chain Making single crochet and single
crochet variations Double crochet and variations Some of this can
also be found in crochet videos Amy tells me that Tunisian crochet
may be an easier technique for knitters to learn because of its
similarity to knitting. She's got some fun Tunisian crochet
patterns if you want to check it out. Other good projects for
beginners to try, she says, include the classic Granny Square and
this easy Single Crochet Baby Afghan.Want to Learn to Crochet?
