Question
beccalovely
Hi all,
Ok so I am very new to crochet, I've completed a granny square blanket and have been keeping a sort of 'sampler' where I practice rows of new stitches as I teach myself them from online videos/instructions.
Tonight I have just mastered the basket weave stitch, which I love, and am going to make a blanket out of.
Having seen some of my projects a friend has asked me for a new crochet cardigan (her current shop-bought one has seen better days).
Can anyone recommend a good very easy pattern? It needs to be long sleeved and have a long body, ie the body longer than the sleeves as my friend likes to cover up a bit
My other questions:
- Will I need a long crochet hook for something like a cardigan?
- Should I try a different, perhaps easier, clothing garment before tackling a cardigan?
- How do I know how much yarn I will need?
I'm very nervous about tackling clothing I must admit, so any general hints and tips would also be very welcome!
Thanks for reading,
Beccalovely
