I love crocheting. It's relaxing, fairly simple, and you get to use gorgeous yarns! What could be better? To get some great patterns, go to Lion Brand Yarn. For most yarn pattern websites you need to make an account, including this Lion Brand. After you make an account you can get instructions for tons of great patterns. A dishcloth is a great starting point, because it is just a simple square. Then maybe you can move on to a hat and scarf. Click here to get a tutorial on how to start from Martha Stewart. Once you get the hang of it you will be able to make up your own patterns. I made this hat a few years ago without a pattern in about two days.
