Beginners crochet patterns?

Hi Sarah,

Yes, the exchange is a great way to practice doing a 6x6. I've had to learn all
over again about hook size. I normally use a US size I or J, but to get the
size right I've gone down to a G. I think your treble is what the US calls a
double crochet. It all takes practice, but you get rewarded when it comes out
right.

Hugs,

Nora

I'm just learning to crochet and have just about got the hang of a couple of
stitches and would now like to start to learn how to read patterns.

I've found a few of them online, but I can't figure out how to read them.
Could anyone recommend a couple of easy ones which I might be able to
understand. 6x6 squares woudl be good, but I don't really mind as long as it
gets my brain working in a way that I can read them.

I used the instructions from about.com and practised double crochet last =
night whilst my husband was in the bath.

That means I can do SC, DC, half double crochet. WooHoo!

I found a pattern for a dishcolth and luckily I had some dishcloth =

slowly, although I did have a little difficulty with the foundation row, =
but I got it in the end.

Hi Sarah,

That is great, once you understand what the words are, it's not the difficult.
