So over Christmas break, while the shop was closed, I decided to pick up a crochet hook and a ball of yarn and get to work. I went to YouTube and found an amazing number of crochet tutorials, which helped me remember basic techniques and find a small project to work on. Seeing it on video, it was almost as if someone was sitting next to me, showing me the stitches.
First, I made a baby hat using this tutorial: Baby Crochet Cap
Then, I added a flower to it using this tutorial: Crochet Rose
All of this from one skein of yarn, one crochet hook (I used a 5.5mm hook), and a beginner crocheter. If you're on the fence about learning, I hope this inspires you to go for it!
holy cow that's some good looking crochet! I should show you a picture of what it looked like when i attempted that...yikes...sounds like a lovely winter hobby to hone! =)
ReplyDeletei am cracking up about the two babes i see in that first photo. i mean, am i right? so cute, sleeping babies.
ReplyDeletenice job on the crafting!
Looks great! Cute flower :) Crochet is definitely my favorite hobby... Portable, inexpensive, productive, and I can still pay attention to my almost-3-year-old while I do it. Needless to say, my girl has about 39587394856394875 crocheted items in her closet!
