How To Guarantee Success When Choosing Crochet Patterns

By Angela Reynolds


Knitting and crocheting can be a fun and easy way to make a wide variety of objects. Whether you are trying to make a new garment, such as a sweater, or something for your home, such as an afghan, there are many different crochet patterns available to choose from. Here are some tips and tricks that you can use to help you find patterns that will work for you regardless of your skill level or experience.

Crocheting and knitting has become incredibly popular and there are entire online communities devoted to these hobbies. There are many patterns that are easy to access which you can use. While it is great to have so many to choose from, it can also make it more difficult to figure out which one you want to use.

If you do not want to look on the website of a particular yarn company you might want to look in one of the online communities that are dedicated to knitting and crocheting. These often divide patterns down into different categories and provide information that will help you choose an appropriate pattern to work on.

You should always look for the difficulty rating on a pattern before deciding to try and complete it. You do not always need to stay within your comfort zone but if you are just starting out it could end up being frustrating to try and complete a project that is rated as "very hard" or "expert". If you do want to try a more complex pattern you might want to read ahead and try out any new stitches or techniques before starting the project itself.

If a particular pattern is online you may want to read reviews that users have left. There may be information about problem areas in a pattern or further explanation about how to complete specific areas. They may also be able to help you avoid specific pattern options that simply will not turn out even if the instructions are followed closely.

Once you know which option to go with, you will want to make sure that you are using the rights sized hook and the proper kind of yarn. Not doing so can make it difficult to reproduce results that are like those shown in any pictures. You may also want to pay attention to sizing charts or gauge charts that will list how large a specific series of stitches should be. This will let you know if you are on the right track.

Slowing down may mean that a project will take longer but it can mean that you avoid making mistakes when crocheting. There is nothing more frustrating than having to rip out a lot of your work and redo it just because you have missed a step or forgotten to put in a few stitches.

Crocheting items can be a fun and relaxing hobby. Although it may seem daunting when you are a beginner you should be able to start creating some beautiful items and quickly progress from simple patterns to ones that are more complex. Make sure to do your research, take your time selecting your materials, and pay attention to your patterns and any item you work on has the best chance possible of turning out as the designer intended it to.
