One of the benefits of crocheting is that there is so much to make. You can make stuffed animals, scarfs, bags, clothes,and sooooooo much more. I made tons of scarfs, jewelry, and granny squares with intricate patterns, as well as some other odds and ends.Now I am making a hat for my doll. It is going to be brown and pink.All crocheting takes is yarn and a hook. I have added a video that can teach you some simple stitches in crocheting.
