There’s many a crochet beginner who has made their skill debut with the design and completion of a crochet scarf. A simple project that lends itself to a variety of bold colors and various patterns, the crochet scarf has marked the foray into the world of crochet for many just picking up hook and yarn. Additionally, the shape of the crochet scarf is enormously forgiving of any first timer mistakes.

If you would like to try to make a crochet scarf, the possibilities are endless when it comes to design and color combinations. If you are making the crochet scarf for yourself – not a bad idea if this is your first attempt – then the choices are all yours. The decisions include the type of yarn – a textural choice that’s really a matter of preference, although you may want to avoid anything too scratchy considering the crochet scarf goes around your neck. You must also decide the color of the yarn – or color combination. You can do a simple, solid pattern, mix it up, or even add some pattern designs throughout.

Additionally, before beginning your crochet scarf, you must also decide the length of your scarf. You may want a shorter crochet scarf that’s more about fashion or a longer crochet scarf that’s more about function.

If you are just beginning crochet, it may be helpful to purchase a crochet scarf pattern to help you along. You can find the patterns at local craft stores or online where pattern sites offer many from which to choose. The Internet can be a great resource for finding patterns for any crochet scarf you want to attempt – as well as pictures of the final product.

If you are feeling ambitious, you can even attempt a crochet scarf as a gift. Pick favorite colors of the person to whom you are giving the scarf and get to work. The beauty of making such a personal gift for someone you love is that they won’t ever notice the mistakes. They will, however, know that they’ve received a unique gift that truly means something.

While many an afternoon has been passed with a Barbie Doll and a wardrobe. Children are crazy for the doll, especially the Barbie doll and when there is a large wardrobe, their imagination runs at full force.

Being able to crochet helps to save some money in these tight times, as the doll clothes can become very expensive. But if you can find one pattern than you have the beginning of many items. To make different type dresses with the one pattern, use different color yarn. You can lengthen or shorten the pattern. Add sleeves or make the dress sleeveless. All of these changes do not require a lot of work but you can create many different dresses for the wardrobe.

I have to confess that not being able to read a crochet pattern kind of defies the whole concept of crocheting!

When I first learned to crochet, I wanted to know what these abbreviations meant. Maybe I was curious or wanted to learn everything at once – I honestly can’t answer that at this point.

To my way of thinking, reading a crochet pattern is essential to the learning of easy crochet. You are very limited as to finished projects if you can’t read crochet patterns!

If you can’t read a crochet pattern, you are very limited in my opinion. What do you do, keep starting over till you think it’s right and continue in that way?

If you can read a crochet pattern you have the world at your disposal. You are not afraid to venture on to try new things in my estimation!

But the number of people who can’t read crochet patterns astounds me. It seems like a real pity that they don’t learn how to better themselves and feel better about the projects they create!

If you can’t read a crochet pattern, how do you make doilies or crochet home-made dishcloths? Remember, they look easy in the picture, but can you duplicate it that way?

When I learned to crochet (it seems like a life-time ago now), those patterns with those strange abbreviations were a challenge to me. At that point, I made up my mind to learn to read the patterns no matter what.

I did a lot of research and asked a multitude of questions and finally got results. The strange part of it was that then I was no longer limited to crocheting with wool alone.

Being able to read crochet patterns seems to give you the confidence to be able to move on to greater heights – by that I mean, I moved onto cotton and made doilies in a very short time of learning how to read crochet patterns.

The thing that amazes me is that people who aren’t able to read crochet patterns don’t seem to care that every part of every crochet stitch has to be explained and/or demonstrated to them on a one-to-one basis. This bothers me.

I was told at one time that not being able to read crochet patterns showed a lack of patience in whoever did home crocheting in that fashion. It showed no ambition!

Now, I don’t agree with that statement, but I have one of my own – “Don’t learn anything by halves, learn the whole thing, or don’t waste my time!”

When my oldest daughter was in hospital when she was five (5) months old, I was able to crochet a doily, thanks to being able to read crochet directions.

Here’s another point to ponder: If you can’t read crochet directions or patterns, how do you expand your own crocheting knowledge to include the extra stitches required? I am referring to the treble stitch, the half double stitch and so on – that could be daunting!

So if you are a home crocheter, learn how to read the patterns and don’t be stuck in that rut that I call never-ending – read patterns, expand your horizons beyond your own expectations.
