The Beauty Of Crochet

By Alice Nance


It is common, when thinking about crochet, to envision an old grandmother crafting a doily. Many older ladies truly seem to be born to crochet, most likely because it is a skill that was sent down for generations. Crochet is a wonderful, relaxing activity that still retains its charm even if it is now rarely passed along in families.

Today, it is common to find simple crochet patterns added to designs. From home decor to today's fashion, the addition of simple crochet - either as the complete design or as a supplemental touch - can make an item truly unique. Tablecloths and dresses are only some of the items that can be improved by simple crochet patterns.

Thanks to Hollywood, simple crochet is once again surfacing as a fashion statement. Suddenly crochet patterns are hitting the red carpet at movie premiers and awards shows as movie stars make their fashion statements with these classic designs.

While the rest of us might not be able to afford buying from the best designers, we can still partake of this growing trend and wear items that feature crochet patterns. An evening bag made from simple crochet can always add an extra touch of classy elegance. Many clothing designs, formal or casual, feature patterns of crochet.

If you are interested in learning how to crochet, your local craft store is the place for you. There you can find all the instructional materials you need, as well as the physical materials you will need such as yarn and hook. Some stores even offer classes where you can learn important basics from the experts.

Learning crochet will benefit you in so many ways. Not only will you be rewarded with a lifelong hobby and skill. But you'll be able to make any number of creations only limited by your imagination. From household touches to beautiful gifts, crochet makes the ordinary, extraordinary.
