I met up with my friend Bobbi the other day to help her learn to crochet [check out her post about it]. I really don't see myself as able to teach, but it went alright. I prepared myself by printing out some patterns to go with the yarn I had. Ready to see my round up of easy but cute Lion Brand patterns for beginners? They are all with either Homespun or Wool-Ease Thick & Quick, because that is what I had extra of...

How do you guys approach teaching crocheting? And have you made any of these patterns? Will you? Also, I just learned about the "paste image by url " feature... I could have saved so much room in my photo folder if I had done that for all of my patterns last year. Sigh.
I haven't actually taught anyone crochet yet. I would love to though! I have made the newsboy hat. But I tend to stick to medium weight yarns instead of the bulky ones. I would like to try those wristers though. They are pretty cute. If you go to my website www.thesteadyhat.com I believe the Brimmed Cap and Suede Cap used the newsboy pattern. You can see more pics on my facebook page as well. There is a link of the homepage of my website.
ReplyDeleteI usually just teach with washcloths first. But mostly it depends on what that person wants to learn. These projects look fun!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely check out your projects, amazey. And Mindy, good idea with washcloths!
