For me, it\u2019s my kitchen island since they\u2019re not allowed up there.   2) change your shirt to a clean one before you crochet. Lots of the little hairs stuck to your shirt will rub into whatever you\u2019re holding in front of you. You could also have a designated clean apron that you wear only when you crochet.   3) don\u2019t leave your project unattended. If I put my project down on my couch for even a min, there is a 100% chance my cat will come over and lay on it.   4) use mesh bags or totes to keep your yarn and projects free from hair and dust.

So it might feel like a boring waste to just sit and practise doing a single crochet stitch over and over to create a (probably wonky) rectangle, but once you've got that down you can now basically do 90% of crochet stitches since they only vary very slightly.     One other thing to be aware of as a newbie is that patterns are generally written in either US or UK terminology and they often use the same stitch names to mean different things. Most tutorials you'll find online will use US terminology, but get into the habit of checking pattern descriptions to find which is used and avoid big mistakes. One other easy way to tell is if they use single crochet stitches (sc), it's in US terms.     Mostly though, just grab some cheap yarn and start making rectangles. Once you've got the stitch down, get on Ravelry and pick a pattern that speaks to you, there's no point restricting yourself to \"beginner\" projects if none of them get you excited to actually make them.

It's not just hook size that matters, it's how you hold your yarn, too. Tension will make size of stitches vary wildly.    Counting rows and stitches is important!    The yarn you use can also matter a lot - anything with a lot of stretch is easy to make wonky shapes with if you're still learning the tricks of tension.   Don't be afraid to pull a few stitches out and adjust things, crochet is much more forgiving than other crafts when you do this (looking at you, knitting!)   Try to learn to read charts *and* written instructions. Being bilingual can save a lot of frustration - sometimes when  I can't work out a written instruction, a chart can help. And it goes the other way, too!    2. I'd pick up one or two cheaper but still better quality hooks. The ones that will set you back $5-$10 each at spotlight, and just get 1 or 2 in a size you think you might use a bit. 4mm for a lot of projects, if you want to make toys etc then maybe a smaller one, too. I used thrift-store acquired metal hooks for years, and then upgraded, and.... it's just not comparable. I mean, the cheap hooks *work,* but the upgrade makes the experiences so much better. My stitches are better, and the process is *easier*. So there's a good chance that you'll enjoy it more from the get-go.    I'd also recommend acquiring stitch markers, but these don't have to be pricey. I think spotlight and lincraft have small packs of locking markers for about 5 bucks (I got mine off the website my father refers to as the EvilBay for about a dollar), but bobbypins (for your hair!) work perfectly and many people have them handy already. I use one at the beginning and end of the row so I don't have to wrestle with my brain and eyes to find the last stitch \ud83d\ude02 It definitely helps with the counting.    3.  Make whatever you like! Squares are good, you can make a whole pile to test out different stitches, or just to practice the basics, then use them for.... anything. Stitch some felt on the back and call them coasters. Or join them all together and make a scarf or blanket or rug.... anything at all!    Circles or hexagons would work perfectly the same way - check out youtube for lots of good tutorials.   The other slightly crazy suggestion I have is that once you've made a few basic things, crochet-a-longs can be really good for learning new stitches and practicing techniques. They're usually vary varied patterns, and because you're crocheting along with other people there are plenty of folk to help out as you're all up to the same part of the pattern at a similar time.    4. I got into it because I knew how to knit already, but wanted to make toys for my niece. Crochet ones, imo, just look better than knit.... it's (mostly) great stress relief, and I enjoyed it enough to have been doing it for... oh wow about 6 years now. Youtube taught me a lot, and this sub is a wonderful place to ask advice or show progress.

Start with something simple like a blanket.    2. these inline hooks are great for beginners .  this type take extra effort to get the yarn of the hook.  Pick a light coloured yarn that needs at least a 5mm hook. It's tells you on the ball of yarn what size hook you need. 4 seasons is reliable and decent quality for starting out. Only buy yarn when it's on special and buy more than you think you need because yarn goes out of stock or the sale goes off before you realise you need more. It can be hard to get more.    3. Start with rows. Keep making chains and rows until you get comfortable.  Practice holding the hook different ways until you find the one that works for you.  Know your learning styles: video, audio, pictures, graphics and words.  Don't buy patterns in the beginning. Plenty of free ones available to get you started.   4. My sister was unwell.

It's probably gonna be frustrating at first...figuring out how to hold your yarn & your hook. I remember cursing so hard that first week as I was figuring it out. But keep practicing!!  I also watched loads & loads of YouTube videos to see how people would do things like hold their hook & yarn to figure out what felt best for me.  Agree that stitch markers are definitely worth it! I didn't know how or where to place them when I first started, so don't stress about it to begin with. Once you get an understanding for where rows end it becomes easier. If I want to keep a straight edge, but don't feel like counting constantly, then stitch markers are the way to go 1000%!

Comes with scissors. & with multiple sizes of sewing needles. & stitch markers. Everything you need all in one little kit!

Tension will make size of stitches vary wildly.    Counting rows and stitches is important!    The yarn you use can also matter a lot - anything with a lot of stretch is easy to make wonky shapes with if you're still learning the tricks of tension.   Don't be afraid to pull a few stitches out and adjust things, crochet is much more forgiving than other crafts when you do this (looking at you, knitting!)

The ones that will set you back $5-$10 each at spotlight, and just get 1 or 2 in a size you think you might use a bit. 4mm for a lot of projects, if you want to make toys etc then maybe a smaller one, too.

My stitches are better, and the process is *easier*. So there's a good chance that you'll enjoy it more from the get-go.    I'd also recommend acquiring stitch markers, but these don't have to be pricey. I think spotlight and lincraft have small packs of locking markers for about 5 bucks (I got mine off the website my father refers to as the EvilBay for about a dollar), but bobbypins (for your hair!) work perfectly and many people have them handy already. I use one at the beginning and end of the row so I don't have to wrestle with my brain and eyes to find the last stitch \ud83d\ude02 It definitely helps with the counting.    3.

The thing about crochet is that once you are comfortable doing it, it can be really good for your mental heath. It can be meditative and soothing to focus on the softness of the fiber in your fingers and the piece in your hands as the hook rhythmically works up the loops. You can find a stitch that has a great texture you enjoy running your hands over. Creativity can become a regular thing where you can look at a yarn and imagine what stitch would look fabulous in it or you can read a pattern and see in your mind's eye what yarn would make it awesome once it's worked up.

How much time do you have to spend on the project (in hours)?  You'll want to pick a yarn in the chunkier end of the spectrum to make it achievable.  The less time you can dedicate to it the chunkier your yarn will need to be so it works up quicker.  What type of experience do you want, like what are you aiming for (apart from an awesome gift)?  Do you want something that will completely occupy your attention to the exclusion of almost everything else (good for distracting your brain from negative thoughts).  If so pick a pattern that uses a few different stitches and requires you to focus on a given sequence of stitches.  Remember the first few rows will be tricky but you'll soon get into the swing of it, especially if you are using video tutorials.  If your head isn't in the right space for complicated and  concentration marathons, pick a pattern that uses a single stitch or two without a sequence to count.  This will allow your brain to wander without needing to frog your work back every five minutes.  Remember you can add visual interest by using different colours.

Ask all those questions, and let her know how much work goes into making a blanket. It depends on the stitch size and blanket size - I've made a throw that took a hundred hours (and a year and half) because it was with a freakin' 3.25 hook (never again) but I've also made a bigger blanket in about 25 hours with a big fat 8.   I'd charge a flat fee for each blanket. Probably a hundred dollars would be fair, which makes no sense to family members but maybe she's gung ho on custom crocheted blankets.   Definitely don't take it on just because you feel obliged to, or to do her a favour. It can also help if, when you give her your answer (maybe later, in an email, with the quoted price so that you have a clear 'THIS MUCH TO GET BLANKET' paper trail), you can say \"and if that sounds like too much here is an etsy link to the blanket you like, you can order if from them for slightly more.\"", "labels": 0, "seconds_difference": 225.0, "score_ratio": 1.1428571429, "metadata_A": "", "metadata_B": ""}

Don't underprice yourself, if you sell it for $10 a blanket it basically says your time a skill is virtually worthless (I know you didn't say you would charge this little it's just an example) it it were me I'd be looking at the complexity of the pattern, the size and how much I'd actually want to make it then make a price off that.

Some people do commissions others don't, but in my experience very few people are willing to pay a fair price, I'd rather knit something and give it away (to a loved one or a charitable cause) than to sell my time for nothing.", "labels": 0, "seconds_difference": 968.0, "score_ratio": 1.1428571429, "metadata_A": "", "metadata_B": ""}
