Most of the books give you the directions for all stitches needed to create the patterns within. I tend to look back at my crocheting for dummies book often. It will teach you all the basics plus teach you how to adapt patterns for different sizes.Once you get the stitches down… which I’m sure you will, I find crochet easier than knitting… there are some really good pattern books called hooked on toddlers/babies or hooked for toddlers/babiesthe patterns are easy and they give directions from baby sizes all the way to toddler sizes.

I’m assuming that by 1 strand each color, they mean that this project is made with more than one color yarn. You would just hold the strands of yarn together, and chain crochet 37 stitches. This is your base, or foundation, chain. In any crochet project you do, you will begin with a base chain. You crochet off of this chain and then when you reach the end you do an extra chain stitch and turn your work. Then you can begin on the next row.

Are you more visual or auditory, when it comes to learning styles? Go to the crafts supplies store and look at the different books they have available for beginning crocheters. If you’re a stronger auditory learner, get one with more words and good descriptions on how to do things. Read it aloud to yourself as you learn. You’ll feel a little silly, perhaps, but the cats won’t mind. Do this when only you and the cats are home, of course. If you’re more of a visual learner, get a book with good illustrations and less writing. That will make more sense to you if you’re a visual learner.I knit, but was taught by a friend. I still think that’s the best way to learn a new skill. Maybe your local crafts supplies shop is having crocheting classes sometime soon. It can’t hurt to ask. I have found the repetitive motion of knitting to be very good for my stiff, sore hands and fingers. When my arthritis gets too uncomfortable, I get the knitting back out, even in the summer! It really helps.

The Hello Kitty character is a copyrighted Japanese character. No one has produced a crochet pattern in English. But sometimes you can find someone through a Google search that has made something close. Look for Kitty items, you’d be suprised what you’ll find.I have seen pictures from the “official” crochet Japanese books and besides the text being in Japanese, all the instructions are done in symbol crochet. That is, each stitch has a symbol. There ARE sites online that explain how to follow symbol crochet. Some of the US magazines for crochet even include this with their regular written instructions.The Japanese books have alot of pictures and I’ve heard of folks being able to follow the symbols and pictures to complete projects. Many have done this to make Amigurumi, which is crocheted animals. I haven’t done this myself, but I’d like to try.Also from what I’ve heard, the original Hello Kitty crochet book is out of print, so you have to find a used copy. But I’ve seen other variations from the original. I hope I’ve helped a little.Best wishes!

If you check your craft stores, there are actual kits that usually come with a hook. All these books are excellent. I taught myself to knit and crochet with books. Any book will do. In fact, when you buy the next book for a new pattern, they’ll most likely have all the basics in those, too. They’re all very much the same, so feel confident with whatever you get. If you don’t understand something, I have a feeling that YouTube can explain what you can’t get from the book, or a site online will do just as nicely.As far as materials, I now stick mainly with doily-weight thread, thin nylon, and thin wire (I do a lot of jewelry). If I do crochet larger items, such as afghans, I am very, very careful with my color choices, my pattern choices, and the type of yarn I use. So many of the afghans I inherited are in harvest gold, avacado green, and wild orange in that strange V pattern, and the yarn is very very scratchy. They are more expensive and you might want to wait until you’re more comfortable, but there are some amazingly soft yarns. I made my kids afghans out of them, and they fell asleep rubbing it against their faces. Just be sure how to make it very, very secure so it will last. It’s a great hobby and it’s extremely versatile. It crosses over into so many other crafting things (making purses out of soda pop tabs, adding beads, and jewelry). It’s portable. You can stick a hook in your back pocket if you’re somewhere where you might lose it. Granny squares are fun because you can make a bunch of different ones in the same color scheme but with different patterns and arrange them however you wish and make anything as big as you wish. If you want to work with doily-like, there are some excellent magazines that have both written and schematic instructions. You can’t go wrong with crochet. Good luck!

I don’t have the book and have not seen the pattern before but what I am wondering is this, are you trying to find a way to connect them together? Are you looking for an edging. e-mail me with this information and I {hopefully} will be able to help you. I have been into this {stuff} for many years so have some knowledge.
