Where Can I Find a Website to learn how to Crochet?

Question

I've been crocheting simple blankets and now I want to do a more complex design but every website i've visit wants me to do a pattern with no picture so i don't know how it would turn out.

Where can I find a helpful site that can show me what the pattern would look like and is easy to follow?

Answer 1

You can learn a lot on youtube.  But about.com is a good place to.  If you want to get a magazine there is a type of pattern they have eveloped called magic patterns.  They have the pattern drawn out for you in a diagram so you can see what you are doing.  You can find these patterns in crochet world and magic crochet magazines.

Answer 2

Magic Crochet Magazine.  I subscribed 20 years ago, they're probably one of the best.

Good luck!!!!

Answer 3

There are lots of crochet patterns online with pics.  Let me give you a couple of my favorite websites:

http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com

http://crochet.about.com

http://www.coatsandclark.com

http://www.lionbrand.com

For the most part, they don't have step by step photos, but most of them will have a photo of the completed project.  I also like:

http://www.crochetcabana.com

She uses step by step photos on how to do certain stitches.  She has a few patterns on her website too and they are pretty easy by the looks of them.

If you need a video on how to do a more complex stitch, you can always check out youtube.  There are tons of crochet videos on there.

~Happy Crocheting!~
