Learn How to Crochet

The love of history, and the ever revolving fashion cycle have helped to renew popularity of this 19th century handcraft.

Antique crochet has a lot of character, and so antique patterns are searched for by those looking to recreate classic styles and projects from a time gone by.

.

Fortunately for us all, there were a lot of books, magazines and patterns published between 1850 and 1950 that have documented, the crochet creations that are from the peak period of this craft.

Many of these books and magazines, are rare and expensive, putting them out of the reach of the average crafter, other than in a library, Libraries in particular are good low cost sources of patterns, however it generally takes a fair bit of time and effort to locate a suitable pattern.

Many projects were simply not documented, and a creation, or sample was passed down to the next generation to work their own magic from this sample they had in front of them. This of course, triggered very original and intricate lace patterns.

Crochet has made a few cycles of popularity, but it has made a comeback big time now!. No longer is it reserved for those afghans, or the afghan vests from the early 70’s, it is seen now being used to make beautiful sweaters, jackets, purses, hats, or even added to fabric creations to add originality. There are so many great wools and threads to choose from, you can make anything you want.

Once you know the basic stitches, you can create your own originals, and this is such a relaxing hobby. It has fast results, and is very portable. Why not learn to crochet?. You can follow books, or you can watch video’s to learn….learn how to crochet..
