Question
exotik1
Hi, I know nothing about crocheting but I want to make thigh high socks/stockings out of soft (yet stretchy) chenille-cotton yarn (if theres such a thing as stretchy chenille yarn), with scalloped tops (deep scallops....for scrappers, thing of a scallop border punch only bigger). Does anyone have any tips on how to get started please? Is knitting or crocheting best and do i need some sort of loom or a particular kind of needle? I was thinking of a set of 12 aluminum needles i saw on ebay (similer to Boye and Bates hooks).
I was thinking toe-less socks might be cool and maybe easier…with a scalloped top that would be easy for a beginner to do…they are supposed to be sexy and not for everyday wear I need help finding patterns please and need tips on what kind of non-bulky and stretchy and soft yarns to use.
Thank you for any tips,
Petra
