If you thought crocheting is a hobby fit only for grandmas, then you need to think again. The only downside to crocheting is that it can get monotonous. But that can be easily overcome by crocheting while watching television or listening to some good music. Crochet is a very calming hobby that relaxes your mind and allows you time to reflect on your thoughts. In a way, you can compare crocheting to meditation as they both produce similar results.

Crochet Patterns

If you are new to crocheting then you’d do well to start with something basic such as a scarf or wrist cuff and then move on to more complex stuffs such as purses and handbags. All you need to remember is to keep count and not mess up your stitches.

Once you get the hang of it, crocheting can be quite addictive as the rush you get when you make a purse by hand just cannot be surpassed by buying any expensive purses and handbags. And the best part is that you can customize the design, so if your daughter likes roses, you can have roses designed on a purse for her or if your niece likes the animated movie ‘Frozen’ you can have the snowman stitched onto her handbag.

Here’s a video link that will help you out and teach you how to make a very basic purse. Once you manage to make this pattern you can move onto more complex designs. There are numerous patterns available online for free. So browse through them and master the art of crocheting.

You will of course need crochet hooks, some yarn or crochet thread, a pair of scissors, some wooden or metal handles, zippers or buttons to be attached to the bags and purses you will be making (you can find these in any art and craft store or even online).
