Crochet Basics
Crochet is a wonderful hobby and fiber art. Make no mistake, crochet is an art form. You decide on the colors and fibers to use, choose or design a pattern, and then take a hook and yarn and use them to create projects. All you really need to begin to crochet is a hook and yarn. In this chapter we’ll go over the basic or crochet hooks, as well as learn about different types of yarn, and how to read a yarn label.
Crochet Hooks
I have had the same set of good quality, medium priced crochet hooks for many years. I recommend purchasing a set which contains sizes E-K. These sizes are the most common hooks used. Hooks come in two main types; inline and curved. Inline hooks have a sharper edge and curved hooks are smoother. I prefer curved, but lots of my friends swear by their inline hooks.
