Answer 2

click my avatar and email me your personal address and we can have crochet lessons by Yahoo Messenger or by email or however you want to do it.

I do not have enough space here to explain this whole pattern to you, nor will I have space on the Answers Message service.

We need more crochet teachers in this world!! I can do this for you if you will trust to email me.

My experience is 50 years of crocheting myself, 35 years of teaching, I am a grandmother with very impressionable girls too.

Answer 3

I agree with Sue - you need to understand the terminology and methods of crochet before starting to work a pattern such as this.

As space is limited with answering here you need to communicate with someone through emails that have the knowledge to help you learn.

Am also willing to help you if you want it.

Good luck!

by the way there are some excellent videos on youtube on crochet.
