About this ebook
Crocheting, which is the age-old craft of hooking yarn through a loop in different ways to form patterns and fabric is so simple to do, once you have grasped the concept. Watching someone crocheting can look extremely complicated if you have no clue what they are actually doing.
Sadly this craft is thought of as a way to keep the elderly industriously occupied. Something they do when they while away the time sitting in a rocking chair. This is definitely not the case. Men, women and children of all ages enjoy the challenge of this craft, as it is becoming a trend again in the fashion world.
