NannyOgg Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hi everyone, I would really like to learn how to crochet, but really haven't a clue where to start! Can anybody recommend a book or magazine that will give a simple step-by-step guide to the basics? I'm also very impatient and determined to start this weekend, so if the book/magazine is available in most bookshops, I would be eternally grateful! Thanks for reading, Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abwsco Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 There's also the thread I started here although I still haven't progressed from a chain as I haven't been doing any more crocheting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NannyOgg Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thank you for your replies, I've had a good look through those threads! I am now sitting here happily, after a trip to Hobbycraft, with a Beginner's Guide to Crochet, a hook, some pins and some wool....my new adventure is about to begin!

NannyOgg Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thank you, I will take a look! I am currently 4 rows into my first crocheting project of a tablemat! T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batcatz Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hi, I learnt using videos on youtube and after buying an amigarami book I realised you can Look Inside a few crochet books to learn how to do stitches. Good luck. It didn't take long to learn double stitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
