Crochet Made Easy
Using this Book
Crochet Made Easy is written for beginners, and features easy-to-
understand diagrams and step-by-step instructions to illustrate crochet
stitches and techniques. When you have mastered the basic techniques,
try the projects included at the back of this book—they're designed
especially for beginners!
Products
All of the projects in this book were designed and made with products from
Coats & Clark—Red Heart yarns and Aunt Lydia's threads.
General information is included about yarn, thread and crochet hooks. We
recommend reading through the book to become familiar with terminology
before picking up your hook and yarn. When you're ready, use a Medium
Worsted Weight yarn (size 4 on chart at right) and a 5 mm (US-H-8) or 5.5 mm
(US-I-9) hook to learn to crochet.
Diagrams and Instructions
Diagrams are shown for right-handers. Because of space limitations, it is not
possible to show left-handed diagrams. If you are a left-hander and are hav-
ing trouble understanding the diagrams, try tracing the diagrams and then
turning the tracing paper over and looking at the reversed image. When read-
ing instructions, substitute "left" for "right" and "right" for "left" where it appears.
The abbreviation and its accompanying symbol are shown with the instruc-
tions for each stitch.
