Simple crocheting?

Want to learn crocheting?

• I know few basic crocheting . We have a subject before and that where i learn how to crochet. We made a mini bear before. But then it was before. Can anyone pls help me where should i start? Like how to read patterns. the abbreviations( Do we only have 1 kind of abbreviation? Is there any like other version of this?) techniques with picture, and free patterns.?

• Answer:

  Most abbreviations are standard for example dc = double crochet. Some abbreviations represent a technique used only in that particular pattern. It doesn't matter if it's an abbreviation you don't know because every pattern without any exception I have ever used lists the abbreviations before the instructions. If you meet a technique you have not done before just google what you want to know. For example if a pattern tells you to work 1 row of crab stitch google in "crochet crab stitch" and tutorials pop up Free patterns can be found on www.crochetpatterncentral.com www.dailycrocheter.com www.lionbrand.com.
