IST 605: Crocheting

Resources on how to begin crocheting, in addition to interesting information regarding the history, current use, and benefits of crocheting.

About this section

This section of the guide is where you can find and begin your first project. Here you will discover how to crochet your first granny square. There are many different types of granny squares, but it is best to start with the original before branching out. There is both a right-hand and left-hand video for making the granny square. If you would rather start out by practicing how to make rows, then making something like a mini blanket can be fun! Browse the resources below! Check out the link to the Internet Archive. Don't forget, you can use some of the search terms/strategies on the Home page to find projects of your own!
